Where You Are
Camera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you afraid?
This time, would you like to stay in these arms?
My dear.
Life can be wicked, or tender as a tear.
Look into to the sky.
You may find something new.
You may find something bigger than you.
Diid they come wash your feet?
Is your mind filled with disease?
Shut your eyes, close your mouth.
In the dark, you can figure it out.
Look into to the sky.
You may find something new.
If you let go.
You may find something bigger than you.
In the song "Where You Are" by Camera, the lyrics evoke a sense of uncertainty and fear, while also highlighting the potential for growth and discovery.
The first verse begins with questions and a sense of urgency. The lyricist asks if the listener has heard something, implying that there is news or information that has reached their ears. They also inquire if the listener is afraid, suggesting that whatever they have heard may be unsettling or unsettling. This sets the stage for a moment of decision-making. The lyricist then asks if the listener would like to stay in their arms, conveying a desire for the two to face the situation together. The line "Life can be wicked, or tender as a tear" encapsulates the duality of existence, acknowledging that life can be both harsh and beautiful simultaneously.
The following lines suggest a shift in perspective. The chorus encourages the listener to look up at the sky, symbolizing the vastness of possibilities and opportunities that exist beyond their current circumstances. By letting go of fear or attachments, they may find something new and transformative. The idea here is that by releasing control and embracing the unknown, one can discover something greater than themselves.
The second verse introduces a change in focus, shifting from external factors to the listener's own well-being. The lyricist asks if someone has attended to the listener's needs, using the metaphor of having their feet washed, which can signify being cared for or cleansed. However, they also inquire if the listener's mind is filled with disease, hinting at the possibility of mental or emotional turmoil. The subsequent lines advise closing one's eyes and mouth, suggesting a withdrawal from external stimuli. This can create an opportunity for introspection and self-reflection, allowing the listener to navigate their personal struggles in the darkness and find their own understanding.
The chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing the message of looking upward and exploring beyond one's current circumstances. The lyrics assert that by releasing control and embracing the unknown, the listener may uncover something new and transformative, something that surpasses their individual limitations. It reinforces the idea that growth and discovery often require stepping outside of one's comfort zone and embracing the vastness of the world.
Overall, "Where You Are" by Camera explores themes of uncertainty, fear, and the potential for personal growth. The lyrics encourage the listener to face their fears, let go of attachments, and look beyond their immediate surroundings to find new opportunities. It suggests that by embracing the unknown and exploring life's complexities, one can discover something greater than themselves.

"For learning photographers...start off with a budget camera."
Literally the best advice I've ever heard someone say in one of these videos. And I wholeheartedly agree and make this same recommendation whenever someone asks me about getting an actual camera to start learning the craft.
That said I would like to point out that 4k 60p is not super common in mid to lower range cameras and even when it is can take up a lot of space, so make sure you have a lot of storage space to work with the files in your video editing software of choice, because you will need room for the footage plus the render, and you will usually be rendering in 24p anyways so 4k 30p at 8 bit recording is absolutely more than enough for most people. And if you find yourself wanting to do a lot more slow motion video, then your needs are above the normal creators and you should look into more specialized hybrid cameras.
Besides that one caveat I can safely say this is the only video I will be recommending to new photographers who ask me about cameras. As per usual you are absolutely bang on about everything here.
Just, muah, chef's kiss a perfect explanation for beginners looking to get into the medium of photography.

Already deep rooted into the Lumix G9.
Doing a gender reveal with it next week with 10-25 1.7, 42.5 1.7 prime, 12-60mm, 50-100mm, Godox AD200 Pro, ND Filters, etc.
🥲 by summer, I might upgrade to full frame. R6 or S1R.
I've done 2 weddings with my G9 as a second shooter, a Bat Mitzvah, and some Christmas photo shots.
I feel like I can juice out my G9 for a while, and yes planning to keep the baby for long run for social media purposes and video content.
But for higher end stills, definitely looking between S1R, R6 or R5 or A7R IV.
God willing.
But until then?
Enjoying leica technology at a good price with Panasonic.
Thank you for the video.

I've arrived a bit late to the conversation. I started shooting basic film cameras back in the late eighties, and for a few years into the nineties, but I gave up on photography at the time. When the spark hit me again, everything changed, everything was new and shiny and megapixels were a thing. So, I did what any right minded person yearning for nostalgia would do, I bought one of these new contraptions. No interchangeable lens, just a super zoom bridge camera and thought to myself "Self, you will be the best photographer in the world now". So, that didn't pan out.
About a month later, I hated the bridge camera. It was...ehh... alright for zooming in, but the options in the camera simply did not give me the control I wanted on the camera. Have you ever tried to adjust the focus manually on a bridge camera? it doesn't end well. So, I made the only rational choice I had available, I filed for divorce with the bridge. As it turns out, you don't need to hire a fancy lawyer to divorce a camera, you can just stick it back in its box and pretend it never happened. Like advantix film, and that library book you never returned. [I honestly wonder what my late fees are after twenty-eight years.]
So, now with that entire pre amble out of the way, and the likely hood no one will read this, the actual story. I spent two months researching everything about modern digital photography, and began assessing what my needs actually were. What I wanted to do with photography in the short, as well as long term. So, my first round picks for cameras that functioned in the way I thought I needed were put aside. The Canon 5dmkII, Nikon D800, Sony A7R and S. All spectacular cameras, all cameras I knew all the spec sheets for... None of which would of done me any good at that time. [Not to mention they were all fairly new on the market, and cost prohibitive.]
So, what I wanted, a camera I could hike with, a camera I could trust in bad weather, one that COULD get away with night photography when I wanted. Most importantly, one that I could afford realistically long term. I waffled between saving and buying one of the big fancy full frame cameras, got lost in fantasies about Medium Format. I was to the point of having fever dreams about cameras coming to take me to the insane asylum. I spent my entire downtime away from work researching cameras. At some point I began looking deeper into this whole contrived mythos built up around camera brands, features, bigger better, megapixel nightmare. Distilled it down, and realized, it's all subjective anyway. The ONLY person who is going to judge you for the camera in your hand is you.
That's when I found it though, after all of this inane waffling of mine. A Fujifilm X-T1. It really captured my imagination, and made me feel nostalgic. It wasn't full frame, it didn't have a large lens ecosystem. It was mirrorless. At the time, I had no idea what any of that really meant anyway. I tried to rent the camera, no dice at that time. Then I went to a few local camera shops, and discovered they didn't have this mythical unicorn of a camera either. Finally, I just said to myself "Self, you are a world class photographer, buy that camera without ever laying hands on it!". Somehow, at the time, it made sense to me. So, I slapped my credit card down, and bought a camera.
I think somewhere in the writing of this experience of buying a camera I had a moral in mind. If I really just condense this into a singular statement, it might read a little different. A camera is just a tool, just like a paint brush. A paint brush with buttons... and dials... and the end comes off...Ok bad metaphor.

THings to consider: 1. Budget 2. Better build quality 3. FUlly manual and can change lenses. 4. Size of camera (micro 4:3 is smaller/lighter) 5. Image quality (smaller sensor sizes are fine if not printing massive prints) 6. Brand 7. Filming or not filming 8. Brand new vs. 2nd hand

@صبرا جميلthe second hand is better for you, an older professional, but what do you want to photograph? The lens is the most important and the camera that can use numerous lenses.
Jovica Nedeljkovic
@Sxuled -30FpsI am a Nikon fan and have many Nikon lenses since the days of film cameras. My own opinion about Nikon is that for beginners the best Nikon D7000 is waterproof and can also use bayonet lenses. Keep in mind that the photos with this camera are of extremely good quality and rich color and that it is very convenient to handle. 16 mp is much sharper, richer in color... due to the greater amount of incoming lighting and a much larger sensor than 30 mp from mobile phones.

I want a camera that is valid at both picture n video at least 4k, and valid with movement for example takin pictures of soccer players at a soccer field, pls I need choices, under 3000

Does anyone knows what’s the best camera for pranking people? Please let me know! Thanks.

another thing is the memory card it uses as there is a big difference in price as i was looking at the Nikon Z6 models and they use CFExpress type B, the cheapest of which is £80 for 128GB, but they can go up to several hundred pounds!

Overall great video. Being a professional photographer I appreciate how you guys give out great advice to beginners. My advice: A quality lens should be a consideration, it makes a huge difference. If I was just beginning in photography, my steps would be to find the best second hand high quality lens and match it with a budget body. I purchased my Canon 70-200 2.8L on craigslist very reasonably and have used it on several bodies and still use it on a mirrorless Sony today. So think of lenses first because they are the engine of your camera.

Wow thank you!
Corina Chan
@destiny coach That's a great question. Personally, I'd have done that naturally. E.g. I can't imagine myself wearing (say) a suit with the jacket and trousers cut from completely different rolls of cloth with different quality/pattern/feel, etc.

How are you using it on a Sony camera buddy? What adapter did you need to purchase in order to do this?
