Hmmm maybe. I didn’t dislike them. I didn’t actually realise there was other audio at first. I had already looked through the whole set while listening to the longer audio.
I've been experimenting with this for a long time (without much outcome) but I like the idea of recording sound with the photos. Fujifilm cameras have this feature, actually. I started long ago, in analogue times, when I would carry a small tape recorder with me and record sounds along with the photos I took . I loved it! But never finished a project, because... Well, I did show the photos while playing the sounds to some friends, but it was rather difficult to find the right spot in a 90min tape for a photo. Anyway, I am glad you played with this idea, I'm a big fan!!!
To answer your question about the experience: I expected different sounds in the mosque, so the muezzin was a nice surprise (expected prayers murmured half-qiietly) and the B&W version of the photos took me by surprise as well. Very positively! Great twist! The teahouse sounds were what I had expected. Sound, in general, give an extra dimension to the photos. Thanks so much for sharing!
Fujifilm hace this feature!? I had no idea. Although I rather record sounds with a proper field recorder.
Yeah, it's probably way easier nowadays!!
give it go! you can even connect mics to a phone... I carry the recorder + a power bank inside my backpack and a couple of omnidirectional mics clipped to the shoulders of my backpack. I can record hours with this setup with a decent quality!
Yes, they do! And they do it in decent quality (max 30 seconds though) so maybe not your cup of tea if you like longer audio clips. They (Fujifilm) call it "voice memo" which can be helpful to record some notes to the photo. I use it to record the sound at the place. Thanks once again, I'll definitely start experiencing with it.
Bravo Eduardo. Really nice idea mixing sound with the photos. It really helps to transport you to the location and feel the atmosphere (and it's made me even more impatient to go back to istanbul ;)
Eyup is probably one of the best places to hear the Friday prayer! the place's accoustic, the joyful atmosphere, and the sweets that people are giving makes it an unforgettable experience.
Terrific. I closed my eyes, listened to the soundscapes first, then opened them and looked at the photos without the sound, and then... I viewed the photos with the sound on. Fantastic!
Maestro. What an inmersive experience. I also loved the picture of the guy holding a chair through the window. Such a great texture over the curtain fabric!
Hi Eduardo! I found you thorough YT, I love your photos, and attitude, man.
I'm advanced amateur in photo and a pro audio recording. In that regard I might be oversensitive to sound quality ;) I was doing this kind of combination many years ago because I just love soundscape, nature and field recordings.
My biggest advise, make sure you have relatively good microphones and properly set up. The less self noise they have the better. I was using absolutely excellent mics that looked like headphones (not binaural) so no one new I was actually recording. Since this company went bankrupt I'm using small mics like Clippy EM272 or Lom mikroUsi with Sony recorder. Read about Jacklin disk or SASS recoding if you want to go extra mile. You can always put mics on the sides of your backpack (when not moving) to achieve quite nice stereo field. Always put wind protection (like Bubblebee).
It is definitely challenging and sometimes mutually exclusive endeavour but, at least for me, very rewarding.
I prefer longer audio with photo slides that I can change myself.
In few months I will be Rajasthan, so I can't wait to make a lots of recording and pics!
As always, waiting for your next video and blog post
I really like that! I prefer listening to the 1st audio clip (1min long) while looking at all the photos.
Great to know! ... you think the short audios aren't necessary then?

Same here

Thanks for passing by and leaving a comment!
Great idea. It certainly adds a new dimension.
Happy that you think so! more to come!

hi there bud!
What was your preference? short or long audios?
Maestro. What an inmersive experience. I also loved the picture of the guy holding a chair through the window. Such a great texture over the curtain fabric!
Thanks a million!
Yeah, love textures!...I took that shot while showing my students the power of textures.

Good job, the audio clips add a lot!
