Ram Balmur

Most photographers use wide-angle lenses to shoot landscapes - that's what they are built for! However, in this video, Ram Balmur makes a case for using telephoto lenses and particularly, the 70-200mm f/4 lenses, to shoot landscapes.

In this fourth video of the series, Ram Balmur talks about the Nikon Z system and cameras such as the Nikon Z7 Mark II, Z6 Mark II as well as the older Nikon Z7 and Z6. Starting off with the specific advantages that the Z system offers over DSLRs, Ram also talks about his experience using this system extensively and shares some insight based on his learning. Ram then moves on to a discussion on how to set up a Nikon Z system camera for best autofocus performance for event, portrait, documentary and landscape photography.

In the second video of this series, Ram Balmur takes a closer look at the Canon EOS R system and bodies such as the Canon EOS R5, R6, R and RP, enumerating the specific benefits of this mirrorless system over DSLRs. Ram also goes on to show how to configure an RF body to optimise autofocus for shooting events, portraits and landscapes.

DSLR vs Mirrorless

Mirrorless cameras have been around for a while now and they have been evolving thanks to continuous iterations and innovations by manufacturers. In this first of a series of four live videos, Ram Balmur talks about the key differences between DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras and the advantages and disadvantages of mirrorless cameras.
