I think bamp 8k is the only one monetizing his content but he's doing it like subscribers get early access to his videos
I guess that's about all they can do
i'm pretty sure dafttaengk has media atp like somehow he recorded kiof at waterbomb
and I was there and there was no camera rules so
he either recorded outside from far af away
which I don't think is possible with how it was setup, or he was allowed in
but yeah they bring fucking carts with all their gear lol it's pretty funny
Mental
So rich boys with free time ig ?
Whats media atp ?
The new canon r5ii you can ask the camera to select a face from a photo and it stays with it
I don’t think youtube would be paying that much either
They are serving the kpop community 
I guess they would need some special access to setup like that for concerts
I know z a m at seoul festa there was no cameras allowed inside or near barrier so we had to set up far af away lol
and he was using a 600mm with 1.4 tc
and 100-500 I guess for the group performance lol
Dayum
I think i saw sigma or tamron release a budget long lens not long ago
F7.1 or something
What was it 1200mm ill need to look it up
Currently working home office too
I like how I know immediately where this is for I have spent way too much money at that particular arcade lmao
15PM and X100T
god I want that stupid ef 200 f2 lens again
I remember having so many issues with it though on moving subjects 
yep idols
it was literally the most fun lens i've ever used though
and yeah the dof was stupidly shallow on it
the photos were so nice though when it did work out
I didn't have a r5 back then. Kinda curious how it would resolve on a higher mp sensor
they need to remake that lens with modern motors that match the focusing speed of mirrorless autofocus
that's very weird to say though given DSLRs were faster to focus for so long until mirrorless finally caught up and took over...
yeah
that's exactly how i've felt about it
going from two motors to one and that one being outdated just feels so bad
even on the r3 providing more voltage
for "photojournalism" it definitely feels like a 50/50 lens lol
larry chen has one he uses for motorsport and he's been using it for years so I assume it's working for him
it's so funny but that was the lens that got me the most stares. Not the 400 2.8 I used to have 
god i'm an idiot why did I delete the raw files from back then when I had the lens lol
going through trying to see if I have any at all because it's a bit hard to compare sharpness from a raw taken with my newer lens vs a jpeg with an older lol
might be skewed to think the 200 was softer than I remember
the banner I actually did for my birthday cafe was taken on the 200 f2 of all lenses actually 
but people usually said like the true kinda "wtf" effect you would get out of that lens was full body photos of people but idk that bokeh is still kinda crazy
think I have a photo of isa from like that same angle. Need to find lmao
gorgeous bokeh
I have a new rule that started a couple months ago -
Never sell a lens or camera again
Been times Ive done the same - ‘ i wish i still had that lens it would be so good right now ‘
Even if you don’t use it often, one day it could become your main driver
Or at least save you in a situation
Or just happen to be the perfect lens for a moment / shoot
Seriously though that 200mm is gorgeous
I actually just went down the rabbit hole yesterday and I think extra what they said just really was how I felt like there were some times it gave a really cool affect but it just was so awful for what I'm doing personally lmao. Definitely could have been some user error too though I admit
There were some raw files I found and I was like... "why is my shutter speed this low" lol
alright guys
i eventually went with this one for my first full analog camera
i saw some reviews and it looked good! so minolta hi matic e it is
Cute
its indeed a lil tiny one
ill try to shoot some stuff this month and develop in town
Get your own development chamber :^)
hahahahaha i could technically
got two basements in the apartment building (my mom could rent the extra one for 4€ a month) 
maybe im onto something here
make sure all the light seals/foam seals are intact
You can buy light seal foam i installed some on a camera i had
you know this vr lens that canon put out
VR is something I'm not against like I think certain implications are pretty cool
I thought during covid it was a pretty good idea but VR headsets are kinda pricey I think idk i've never looked lmao
but as sort of like an additional option
kinda sitting here like huh.. I wonder if I could somehow use something like this 
video is just so interesting to me these days

I up to thought about setting up a camera at a fansign with it cause there's a lot of people who say they can never go to fansigns so just so they could see what it's like but idk
That was the only implication I could think of lmao
Or mini fanmeetings
Idk we brain storming. Probably won't do it but fun to think about
Found a r5c today open box on ebay. Hopefully not a scam
That’s a really cute idea, maybe something like a dji osmo pocket 4 that can automatically track the face you select ( select & forget ) ..
if you use A 360 degree camera might be a pain blurring out peoples faces nearby
dunno

lol yeah thats immediately what I thought too and you can't place a tripod in front of people so yeah prob throwing that idea in the trash


@night mulch maybe setup like this ?

(Could attach horizontally as well for better balance on the camera)
Or onto a backpack strap
Or if using a tripod attach via magic arm
dunno
i use the pocket 2 and even that one is so nice

Yep we cooking
Cinema os is a pain in the ass to learn
Sat there for like 30 minutes the day I got it trying to find out how to record lmao
You have to initialize both memory cards in the camera. I only did one and pressing record just put it into standby instead of recording
So I had to initialize my SD card and set it up for proxy media and then it started
Also shutter angle instead of shutter speed also a pain to get used to
Can't just cheat shutter speed now lmao
Have to record the objectively correct way
Mr big money in the house
Gotta take the photo before I sell one of the other cameras to make up for it
Yep definitely keeping it all 
Canon is normally more user friendly
For video i prefer the c70
the image that comes from that is so organic
this camera is so fucking fun

yeah I did consider the c70 since it was around the same price right now but
I don't really wanna deal with crop factor and worse auto focus
I really wanted those built in ND filters lol
there's this one fancammer on youtube think his page is named pastel color iirc
but that's all he uses is c70 and 100-500
You should've been quirky and gone with Olympus
took a cfex b card out and almost burned myself
yep this is the content I was expecting
His videos are absolute quality
Autofocus works great
C70 has such amazing roll off in the highlight, and blends dark,mid,highs so well
Looks less digital more filmic / organic
That sensor is magic
Crop factor not an issue : much less of a big deal i think than people make out
really the card burned up? Cause of the heat of the camera maybe.. ?
If only pastel color did yeojin fancams my life would be complete
Actually are you going to be able to make any of loossembles schedules ?
Oh no I was just joking lol I got the card out and it was extremely hot
I wish there was like an adapter for drop in ND filters
I feel like I'm gonna need that eventually shooting video outside
Feels inevitable
That is the one thing I like about the c70
Maybe something like this?
Except rf
Yeah idk why they don't have an option for rf
I imagine it's because of flange distance and digital lens correction
My friend got his r5 mark 2 today
So jealous
My local camera store has them available but it's only the one with the 24-105
I'm prob gonna long game that camera. See if cpw posts one in the next half a year or something for no tax free shipping and discount
Seems like there's not stock issues at all
On the other hand the whole c70 look is kind of why I like my r3
Think higher resolution looks too digital sometimes 
resolution is overhyped - arri don’t even shoot 4k and they are most used to film the biggest movies in the world
3.2k typically iirc
the c70 has such a pleasant natural look i love it
Same with sensor size - overhyped - 1.6 crop / super 35 is just fine
Again, arri shoots super 35 typically

Yeah theyr missing out 
The problem really with kpop at least is it's too random for photography that's why I think prime lenses are really bad in this space cause I had so many times where I used my r3 and I like the photos out of it but I wasn't close enough to whoever I was shooting and ended up opting for the r5 instead because of cropping
In a perfect world if I never had to crop yeah
Canon used to make "1C" cameras and those were pretty cool
Expensive as all hell though lmao
I wish they put out a version of that with the R3. I already liked the R3 video as 6k more of a balance between 4 and 8k as well as the better iso performance
But yeah the r5c video features I don't know how I lived without now
I guess they added them into that r1 and R5ii mostly but those cameras are still going to overheat inevitably lmao

Actually kinda wild
I looked at a r5c compared to r5ii video yesterday
Almost no difference in video quality at all. I actually liked the colors out of the r5c a lot more

All of the different crop modes on the r5c are really cool too
Apparently in super 35 can still record 6k 60fps raw and in super 16 can record like slightly below 3k in 60fps in some "raw hq" mode whatever that is
Would just upload it to YouTube at 1440p atp but still really cool
Did they use the same luts for both cameras ?
for the tests
Believe so yeah I'll have to look at the video again today when I get off work
Lol fell asleep when I got home

Just remembered this conversation
How good is the dynamic range of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II? How does it compare with the Canon R5C? 8K, 4K, RAW, SRAW, Clog2, Clog3, etc. will all be discussed.
Canon R5 II - https://geni.us/5nu2G11 or https://geni.us/2kKUvnB
Canon R5C - https://geni.us/X4zu or https://geni.us/fS3BJx
RELATED VIDEOS:
Canon R5 II First Impressions - https://yout...
This was the video I was watching
These are like extremes he's putting the cameras through but I thought the color difference was interesting unless yeah he applied a LUT lol
I've been meaning to look into that since I watched Gerald Undone's video and learned that was even a thing
That low light comparison where the r5ii was green was like wtf

Hi, question, looking for a monitor purely for picture editing and I'm currently eyeing the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV and LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B. Online I keep getting the advice that these are too cheap for professional work etc and that I should go with more expensive monitors but not a single person bothers to explain why. Based on RTINGS reviews of both monitors they have full coverage of sRGB and excellent coverage of AdobeRGB and DCI-P3, after calibration they both also have perfect color accuracy. Work will 99% only be done in sRGB and very rarely in anything else. Is there any point in spending much more money on monitors that based on testing results seem like practically identical?
Feels like you already answered your own question.
For photo and video editing, I wouldn't want 16:9 though, very limiting, but choices in 16:10, 3:2 or even 4:3 or 1:1 are limited and often expensive.
That's what I think as well but all the internet people keep telling me to get X or Y option without elaborating why compared to the monitors I already found
fuckin jared lmao
YOU'RE NOT HELPING

I did watch a video yesterday though and yeah things he's talking about are what it went over in the video
the r3 has significantly better high iso performance like even to the point that it has more detail at certain levels
r3 has significantly better shadow detail and color performance at higher iso's
r5 is actually better in low light than the r5ii which was odd to see
but hearing a lot of positive things otherwise about the r5ii
Gerald just dropped a video on it today
damn it gerald lmao
the one review that I need
he didn't touch on the photo side generally at all 
either that or it could just be that it's what I've been seeing that it's just not worth really talking about seeing as it's like the same image quality as the r5
just more fps and auto focus lol
Lol I guess that's why he did such a long video on the r5c
I was hoping he'd comment on comparison to the original r5 and r5c a little
i'm super happy with the r5c
apparently the new batteries that came with the r5ii give 50% more battery life to the r5c so that's cool lmao
just gotta figure out what to do about the photo camera though
Give it to me
Lol pepe slide
I hate how no matter where I ask this question not a single person seems to be able to answer it 
If you're not looking for editing for hollywood movies, those 'regular' ones should suffice
Hell, I'm working professionally in graphics and my screens are nowhere close to those 
People were like you have thousands of euros of equipment so you need a like 1000 euro monitor as well, something that's 500 doesn't suffice and they just wont elaborate why
yeppp that's why it's sus to buy the turbo expensive ones
Yeah, with how nobody can just give me a good answer as to why the expensive monitors are more interesting than the cheaper ones I think going with the Asus ProArt and a SpyderX is probably just the best option
what teh
The new EOS C80 camera is a compact, full-frame dynamo! The latest addition to our Cinema EOS lineup includes Canon's 6K full-frame Back-Illuminated Stacked CMOS sensor, the same sensor featured in the recently introduced EOS C400 camera. It also features 6K/30p Cinema RAW Light and 4K/120p recording along with Canon’s next-generation Dual Pixel...
when tf did this get announced

wow that's funny af timing
literally talking about the c70 in here a few days ago and the crop and here we go c80 full frame 
💸
No kidding
LOL
rather just find a ND filter alternative
Triple base iso though sheeeesh
😮💨
Just use your phone smh
I didn't realize the ND filters built in were full stops though at least I think they are
I watched a video of someone going through them
Holy fuck they got it to look like dusk in broad daylight
i wonder if the c80 keeps the c70 organic soft 4k look
seeing as its 6k / downsampled 4k i doubt it
- being same sensor as the 400
just managed to get a copy paste SanDisk SDXC Extreme Pro - 256 GB 200/140 mb/s - V30 for 24 euros
i feel like thats a really good deal
i had to get a better sd card because my fuji cam only allowed to film up to 2 mins rip
that makes sense given i used a 64 gb normal random card but sh
just be on top of your backups and don't leave things to chance with nuSanDisk post-WD aquisition
There have been some random horror stories with SanDisk products in recent years
They're still very fast and usually very durable and reliable
Price is alright yeah
Same performance Samsung card costs about the same
gotcha
merci yall
i was thinking on doing hobby video with my iphone & just get an anamorphic lens of shiftcam or such
that way itll be eay cheaper since i dont have the budget for all the big stuffies
unfortunately i am not the right person to ask
Hey folks, cool to see a photo channel here. I shot a lot of the Artms tour and shoot a ton of kpop here in the US, happy to chat about it or cameras with folks
You can see my work in my bio link
Holy fucking shit this yours?
motherf-
Haha, yeah that’s my shot
Yes I was shooting this tour for MH
I charge pretty standard rates for shooting and licensing, been doing this for 16 years now!
Oh alright
I know this is quite out of character of this server but
Do you also shoot tripleS?

Not yet, probably will for their next tour if I’m available
ah i see
they're amazing!
Neat
These are incredible !! 
the C80/400 are so good the video production folks I work with are all jumping ship from Sony finally
I've been telling them to do it since the C70 released. Canon started slow this generation but they're killing it now
Yeah the c80 is genuinely super interesting to me, but I like my r5c more still just because I still like photos. If I was doing video only though... Who knows.. maybe 
Just get both 5head
True why didn't I think of that
The color from clog2 on the 70 is so good I generally like it better than what I get from canon raw photos.
This is a still frame from it
But a lot of that comes from Davinci color tools being so much better than Lightroom
It’s free for access to 90% of the features, I definitely recommend it. Had zero issues with it after hating premier for a long time.
It is annoying though because Lr has a bunch of really nice features, like the AI stuff and whatnot
But I don't want to spend like $1M just to use it for the rest of my life
Yeah I rely on Lightroom 100% for photos, but for video I’m fully out of adobe ecosystem and can’t imagine going back
As of now I use a variety of apps for photo editing, having just one app with a lot of features would be nice
Already moved away from Adobe when it comes to Photoshop thank god
The day I'm 100% free from Adobe will be the best day of my life
That reminds me, I still have like so many pictures I need to edit and upload and stuff, but I'm just lazy
I’m pretty obsessive about finishing everything before shooting the next thing. For concerts I’ll cull and import right after and edit the next day. Had a vid gig yesterday and had it edited and rendering over night and delivered today
I would hate the stress of having a backlog
is Affinity good?
Watch me pull up with this on concerts
i havent tried their photo software but their designer and publisher programs are great
people like the Photo app pretty well from what I hear
Cause to be frank
As an amateur video editor I am not ready to move on from Premiere
The transitioning is really easier said than done
I used Affinity Photo a bit but I don't really like it all that much. Probably because I don't know how to use it properly but it just felt like I couldn't really do much with it compared to other programs out there
Haven't used Publisher so can't say anything about that
Designer is amazing, it's what I use instead of Photoshop now
some more tour work, these are fun because the girls each picked out the photos they wanted for them
that’s really cool ☺️
were any of these your photos? 
they all are
my favs from the uh, 15000 or so i shot for the tour
wait
oh I thought those were all the photos
or are they not
or sorry I mean like I thought those were all the available objekts
yeah there are 10 moonshot objekts
yeah they hired me for the tour with that in mind
the girls picked the ones they wanted to use
OH
and heejins rock version teaser
I thought this was another fan submission contest like the tripleS one
oh haha nah
i would feel bad if that were the case lol

oh good to know that's so cool
and also congrats loved your tour pics
thank ya!
I lost 2x 256gb cards this weekend
And by I lost I mean the DIT swears they gave them back to me but I somehow didn’t immediately put them back in the camera
None, they imported both cards before they went missing
They at least did that part of their job right lol
that's a relief
Yeah, with how stupid cheap sd cards have gotten it really doesn't matter all too much if there isn't data on there. Still sucks, just a lot less
You know, I'm starting to think I'm not entirely sure what I bought
Because on my phone I get that image of the regular sd to cf, but when I check Amazon on my pc it shows this in orders
Which would be hilarious because then it means I'll by using a 64gb micro sd I already have instead of the 32gb sd I just bought
Oh god, 64gb is enough for 91000 pictures
These were $180 each, Prograde V90 cards for video 
Client is trying to find them or they’ll replace them thankfully
Ah yeah, for those it's a different story
I was assuming V30 or V60 as that's a bit more popular than V90 :P
I really really hope the stupid adapter thingy works. I really want to use this stupid thing
why not just use actual CF cards instead?
Because then I'd have to buy a card and a reader just for that
So buying an adapter so I can use the stuff I already have seems a lot more interesting
I have more stuff that uses sd / micro sd than cf so it seems smarter to just use what I already have :P
But if it doesn't work I can always just refund it and buy a cf card instead
I just don't know if these older cameras would be quite backwards compatible with current SD card and microSD card standards even using an adapter
I have some older digital cameras that don't even work with SDHC
That's the gamble
worth a try
Most people are positive with the adapter so it definitively works on some old cameras, but no guarantee that it'll work on this specific one
Worst case it doesn't work and I just refund it
right, wish you the best of luck on that, it's a unique nikon from a time when they were actually experimenting with how to do digital cameras, very early
I don't think SD card standard even existed when it came out
also for the time, it could do uncompressed TIFF which is pretty unique too
I believe so, the association came to be jan 2000, but sd cards were out mid to late 99
But yeah, I'm excited to use this silly thing
WELCOME TOSilverBridges is recreating the Widelux... a panning, analog camera that bridges past and future, handmade to last generations.INTRODUCING THE The 2025 WIDELUX•X camera combines its iconic rotating lens with modern technology, delivering stunning panoramic images with vintage charm and contemporary durability. It offers a unique photog...
Did have to order some batteries for it though becase I don't own anything that uses AA's lol
Jeff Bridges is remaking an iconic pano cam, very cool
hey at least it's AA's
not some unique lithium ones that you'll have to hunt down
or even worse, mercury batteries
Yeah, ordered some high capacity rechargable ones
Yo that looks crazy
CR123 and CR2's were pretty commonly used in these cameras too
Also, this thing is super light, probably because it's magnesium
looks cool
but I've been burnt on too many such promised projects in the past to get my hopes up lol
at that price point, people expected absolute premium stuff
How much did it even cost back in the day?
Oh yeah, that's like, $2M in today's money
hahaha
I have no clue what my dad paid for it, he's had it since 99/00 or so
see that's how you'd know it hasn't been abused to death then sold on FB marketplace lol
It's just been sitting in a box for god knows how long
but yeah closer to $2K today in retail price converted
That camera is amazing .. jeff bridges photos are stunning
meanwhile i have to find some lr44 adapter cuz this stoopid 70's minolta analog cam doesnt sell its batteries anymore rip
yeah at least it was not RoHS soldering, and there's no foams to replace because digital lol
Yeah, I love his work. So cool how he always did photobooks for cast and crew

some of those film cameras used mercury batteries that are simply nonexistent now
those things would last several years of use
yup thats the hi matic e for ya
now the alkali equivalents last maybe a few months
and leak
even with the plastic adapters around them
the silver oxide stacking works too and last maybe a year or so, better than alkali at least
ive been too lazy to buy it so now its been just decoration on my desk lol
I'm really curious as to how pics will look from this thing. I hope they look very vibey/10
Nice
Fixed f/11 lens 
original dpreview review of it has some cool samples, the quality is excellent, not instagram filter-like https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikoncp950/13
Why would this be so? For people new to the digital camera market this behaviour probably seems a little extreme. The excitement around the 950 grew up from the reputation of the Nikon Coolpix 900s (also known as the E910 in Japan), this very fine camera opened peoples eyes to the abilities of digital cameras to capture the moment in a high qual...
Oh wow, those look great
it's a CCD sensor, so you'll get quite a different vibe for sure
just not inferior if you know what I mean
I was about to ask if it was CCD, those are great
my father recently told me about an epson digital rangefinder he had, so I've been bugging him to find it
I'd still like to eventually one day™️ get a proper mirrorless camera
Instead of having the lineup of silliest cameras in the world
I can't believe Canon and Nikon have managed to catch up and to some extent surpass Sony now in such a short time
albeit their lens lineups are still a bit sparse but they're working hard
Just ductape your sony lenses to them 
heh
I still like my Sony mirrorless cams more, I don't do anything professional with them to need the higher end features of the newest canon and nikon
and really this is the first refresh they've been able to catch up and surpass sony in some ways, Sony still has a refresh cycle coming up
Being broke student however I cannot afford mirrorless yet :(
Or well, I can, if I get like a cheaper used one or something
But that's besides the point :v
a lot of the older gens are selling for pennies on the dollar on marketplace nowadays
meanwhile film cameras and digital point and shoots that were once $2-10 in second hand stores are selling in the 300-500 dollars range lol
Since I already have a bunch of silly stuff I'd rather just use that and then buy a
mirrorless down the road when I have all the money
I suspect the limitations of the silly stuff leads to more creative fun photos anyway
like that nikon, if it works, you'll be forced to work with the 80-200 usable ISO range, which could be a benefit tbh
My main camera is an X100T
well then you already have a good one lol
Oh yeah it's amazing
But I'd still like a mirrorless one day for the versatility of choosing whatever lens you want to use :v
But that'll come when I'm rich
Or a Nigerian prince sends me their fortune
Canon may have less lenses but the RF mount has allowed them to really push things and innovate in both specs and quality
10-20 recti, 24-105 2.8, 28-70 2, 100-300 2.8 are all incredible and unique, on top of their standard lenses being the best I’ve ever used
and they certainly charge an arm and a leg for them lol
And the rumored 400-600 2.8-4 would be an absolute power move in the sports world
in terms of quality for the standards, I haven't seen a big difference vs sony GM or zeiss branded lenses, but they certainly at least match up to them
sony prices are sometimes higher though for the same thing
Im excited to see what they do next, I assume they’ll keep pushing their video stuff as a priority over photo though
Global shutter follow-up to the fx6 would be huge
wow it handled well! What film ?
a lot of them were superia xtra 400, a few rolls got fried by TSA twice lol
some kodak gold that was expired too
Niceu 
bad news: everglow show i was shooting tomorrow was cancelled
good news: found a really clean 300 2.8 IS for a great deal
Yeah RF mount is why I stay with Canon
I like sony bodies more but I can't even imagine doing kpop now without my 100-300
Lens is so dumb
Consistently throw the 1.4x on it a lot and still love the photos
24-105 2.8 seeing that lens made me want to get into video cause it was just too cool 
Well, unfortunately the CF adapter doesn't work
So I'll put that back on the post tomorrow for refund
That said, I did find someone who's selling a dozen used 4gb kingston cf cards for 2 euros a piece. They're leftover from his workspace and only used a handful of times. So I'll grab one or two of those 
I do need a new card reader though since my current one only does sd and micro sd 😔
That said, the only I have now is tiny so I'll keep it for traveling and use the new one for pc / laptop
right, CF card readers aren't as common as they once were as part of the multi card readers
more a fan of anker myself but that looks very neat
Ugreen is goated
My go to brand for anything chargers, cables, other tech thingies, etc
That looks a lot better than what I have to do
Still trying to figure out something fun to do with this
lol
People taking concert pics on their DS will have nothing on me
Sony had that one mirrorless camera attachment for phones
sony qx1
a bit ahead of their time
Panasonic and Samsung also already did that one lol
Yongnuo still making something like that. Full android device with a m43 mount
I’d buy one if they brought it here
yeah it's been tried and tried, but turns out ergonomics are kind of important
it's a nice novelty though
Yeah I’m the 0.1% of consumers that would use it
I'll just stick with separate phone and camera :P
Or well, I say that but I use my phone a lot for photography and stuff as well
At least flagships have amazing camera's despite the camera's being so small
Still so happy with my 15 Pro Max, the camera is so nice
I’m happy with the log ProRes video but less so with the photos
Even the 5x has good dynamic range and grades well
If I were to give someone an instant film camera as a gift and the price doesnt really matter, then which one should I get.?
I would say go with the one that has the most local film availability, which for most of north america would likely be whatever the latest and best Instax camera by Fujifilm is
Alternatively, you could get them an Instax printer, which uses the Instax films to print phone photos in the style of instant camera photos, pretty much indistinguishable in some cases from actual analog instax photos.
I've seen the printers used during a wedding to print sample photos during group pics with the bride and groom, it was pretty cool and the photog would give out their card with it too
The other alternative to fuji's instax (cheki in Japan) would be impossible project films and cameras, and now that they've acquired the polaroid name, they're just called polaroids again lol
They also have printers that use the instant film
And that's really it as far as your options go.
I haven't shot any (log) prores yet because of how much space it takes up. And I've never done video color grading before. But I'm overall really happy with the camera on it. Pictures most of the time I'm really happy with, but sometimes it can be a little disappointing, but that's kinda rare. Let me find some that I took with my phone
its so fun, ive been getting into it with the sandmarc phone lenses + luts i bought from a guy
id say definitely use it
its a lot of fun to make mini vlogs
My life is boring, nothing to vlog :^)
I should get an external ssd or something to shoot prores to. But that sounds like torture for my battery life 
But yeah, maybe one day I'll attempt learning video color grading
I do that but with taking pictures :P
oh yeah same
i do both, got a DJI gimbal for my phone last week for steady pics and vids + the lenses
but i still use my fuji cam as well
I sold my dji gimbal
i love it, def a lot of fun
Because I just don't use it enough
gonna try to see if i can catch some stuff at the The Driver Era concert on the 8th
I used it maybe once a month, so it just doesn't feel worth keeping
Def going to film at NIKI concert as well in november
Plus it adds so much extra bulk when traveling
ahh so many concerts lining up and ive gotta be able to film n take pics for it all sieosnan
I was thinking of like, maybe one of those small phone rigs so I can like mount a type c hub, powerbank, and storage onto that for filming, but that'll come when I actually bother with filming more
Still super compact but then your hands are like, free
pretty light to carry as well
No need to hold everything
Hold you phone and not worry about pwoerbank and whatever
I mean, I can buy stuff, but like, I don't want to buy expensive stuff like that unless I'm like super into it you know :P
Or if I suddenly have a lot of disposable income 
That is a really cool set though, included hub and m.2 enclosure built in
Would need a new powerbank for something like that though becauase my current one is very old and very big
More like a powerbrick than a powerbank 
But yeah, if I get more into video I'll definitively take that one into consideration, it seems really sick
fujifilm instax sq1 wld be my pick
Thanks, much appreciated
ah yeah i follow an artist who shoots his stuff with leica q3
he has amazing work, genuinely my style
like its just so good
Yeah idk what it is about those cameras but I get the hype
Just has a certain look
Even got me interested but that price tag...

I don't even dare ask how fucking expensive that was lmao
That stuff's like €450 here
canonpricewatch posted that b&hphoto was doing a deal on the 1tb which were $299 that if you put one in your cart you'd get a $200 off coupon
but then I was like huh how much is the 2tb then
because i'm honestly preparing to like set my camera up in the back of fansigns after signing portion and just hit record and leave it going for the ending and posting to youtube and I have a power bank to plug into the battery that'll last like 4 hours of continuous recording
so battery life isn't the worry it's running out of storage 
sometimes groups do 2 fansigns on one day or you get one that's at like 1pm and another that'll be at like 8pm
better to just be over prepared
it's mostly just because h1key does really fucking long ending talks
Lmao
Based
Canon EOS R5
Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM
oh woops time stamped
oh well cute
but yep 42 minutes 
Insane deal though
and this wasn't even last fansign or anything this is just normal so... gotta be overpreared
yeah
honestly canonpricewatch kinda goated for deals
another big reason i'm thankful for shooting canon because I don't think sonypricewatch keeps up and idk if nikonpricewatch even exists
My Kingston 4GB CF cards that do like 3MB/s or something should arrive tomorrow I think 
I got my 100-300 for $500 off no tax free shipping because of them and same thing with my 24-105 2.8 was $300 off no tax free shipping
Actually, it's an x66 card so it should do like 10MB/s?
Sick
My dad managed to grab a used but basically brand new Fuji XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR for half the price of a new one
yeah with like how expensive camera gear is
surprisingly there's deals really often
I havent paid full price for any of my gear
fredmiranda is a really good website too for finding gear
I’ve heard of people having issues with Lexar since this change in ownership. If you’re doing dual cards you’re probably fine but if you have corrupted data or other issues don’t expect great support.
I've only had good experiences with Lexar in the past years
Yeah I have SDs from them that have been fine, but it was a recent discussion that stemmed from that same deal above so I thought I’d share
No warranty? Average American moment 
Lexar CF Express cards have lifetime warranty, and if countries don't acknowledge lifetime warranty then 10 years warranty
Over here
I only have Lexar experience when it comes to SSD's and SD cards though
Poor little guy :(
Shocked the 300 2.8 fit in my roller
Hood is tight on the foam but fits too, probably better to be really snug to reduce any vibration
Worlds most expensive bag
Actually a pretty cheap kit considering it’s 2 pro bodies and 4 pro lenses (and a cheap 16mm prime)
I got the 300 for just over 1k, but it’s a pretty niche concert and portrait lens for my use. Usually travel much lighter and often shoot on just the 50 1.2 for entire shoots
hey it's me! i used to use 35/85 combo for weddings but then i decided to drop to a single body with the 50 for events and i fell in love with that simplicity. i do make liberal use quick 3 frame panos for wider or crop mode for composing 85ish shots too, so in the end I don't feel like I lost anything from switching. even on the 24-70 my most used focal length is 50 for photo and video, so having the dedicated prime makes a lot of sense for me
all on the 50: normal, pano, and crop mode respectively
neato
woah amazing captures as always 
The angelbird sd i have seems really solid
Think ill buy more angelbird in the future - usually use sandisk
my creativity seems to be sleeping atm
so not doing much photo or video work .. maybe later
I think the 4GB 10mb/s CF cards are too overkill for this camera
I either can't format them, or when the one in 10 formatting tries does work it says the card storage is full
According to the manual apparently cards up to 32mb are supported
But I've seen people use 1GB cards in it
So I guess I just need to find something even worse than these Kingstons lol
One more thing I can try, remove the partition and create a like 32mb partition and leave it at that lol
Yeah, I think it's just having a panic attack trying to format it and then seeing it's 4GB and not understanding how that many numbers can exist
Alright, Aliexpress to the rescue. Ordered a 32mb, 64mb, 256mb, and 512mb CF card 
Lets see which one works
went to the second hand store
apparently a guy donated his old revueflex ac2 camera with 3 extra lenses
bought it all total for 45€, felt kinda sad because this man really cared a lot about his camera
store told me he was around 70/75 yo so i was like aw :(
going to clean up everything & will send pictures, im curious what yall think about it 
Hey, look at it this way, at least it got into good hands :)
I don't really know all too much about film cameras but looks neat
The 256 and 512 cards will arrive next week according to Ali. The smaller capacity ones will arrive early December lol
Lets hope the higher capacity ones work
I just want to use this stupid 950 :P
oii letsgo
here is the whole package! even got the original receipt from 10-3-1982
Very epic
just found this came with it as well
Bruh
Ain't no way
Is that a fucking cinema lens
... it is 
Ok tbf I thought it would be more expensive but still
No V mounts in sight, that’s surprising if they’re recording so much video
geez that lot of camera stuff 
I’m just waiting until they start showing up with broadcasting cameras
Rose when he gets into fancamming
Actually
Kinda surprised noones turned up with an alexa yet
Only a matter of time
Turn up with this rose

the dream
I’m waiting for someone to shoot stages with anamorphics. It’d be perfect.
I’ve been looking for a good 2x for video, but I’d do photos on it too. Love wide aspect
This would have looked so good on 75mm 2x at 2.4:1
Hand over all the Miyeon footage right now 
I was 90% a Minnie fansite that night 


Sirui anamorphic lenses ? 
Sirui anamorpics are pretty awesome, especially because they're so "cheap"
Buddy shot a short film on them and they perform pretty well but they look very “modern” and kinda clinical, definitely don’t have the character and softness of classic anamorphic
Sirui makes good stuff though, just got their one step tripod and it’s really nice, compares well to tripod/heads near 2k range and it was under $500
Oh nice! Genes (potato jet) collab right?
Not sure, it’s the SQ75
300 killed it tonight, was really nice to shoot kpop with good light and no giant LCDs
50 1.2 was handy too because it was daaaark
I've seen some but most people just use power banks
that was what I did lmao
usually get this like pouch for the tripod and put the power bank in there and connect the cords to their cameras
unless you're talking about like the actual like cages and shit lmao
just assumed you were talking about the batteries
I can't copy their setups though it's impossible without living in korea. they load all that shit in their cars and wheel it around to events lol
funnily enough it's not the 400 and 600s that are the problem it's the fucking tripod and the ladders

Yeah, I can imagine. I have a roller cart for all that stuff and would never carry 1/4th of it around by hand.
Powerbanks make sense too, never tried them to see runtimes but I'm sure they are big enough these days. I get about 4 hours nonstop rolling on a 99Wh v mount so that's what I assumed they'd be using for those festivals and all
Ye I've seen some they usually just attach everything to the tripod but I think powerbanks are more common since it's usually just recording idk like.. 30 minutes and prob dipping after that

Literally had to get one for the r5c for full functionality and the battery life being so ass
just got this like anker 737 and called it a day
that fan drain battery that much? or shooting 8k?
lens doesn't focus in 8k60fps unless you have external pd
but I expected it to just be in addition. I didn't realize it powers it too lol
can just take the battery out of the camera once it's plugged in and on
tripped me out the first time I did it 
Yep
card doors just opening it and putting other cards in
funny different nuances from the shooting side
I have a dummy battery for vmount, but if you plug into the wrong dc port you fry your body, always scary, put epoxy in the 12v slot to block it just in case
yep, video equipment is full of fun dangers like that
I'm questioning now if it was dafttaengk or z a m but i'm like 95% sure it was z a m given I saw the recording but yep that was a fun one
seoul festa 240501 they wouldn't let you inside the barrier with cameras
but you also couldn't stand outside of the barrier near it with a camera
so just see this dude wheeling his tripod on a dolly, backpack with gear, and ladder over his shoulder
dude sets up in fucking narnia his tripod and ladder. Gets out two r5's and a 600 f4 is ii with 1.4tc
extra arm for monitor
I was like bruh
100-500 on the other r5 for full group cam
funny they just allow that, even outside the barrier
would never happen here for any event lol
it's public area they can throw a fit if they want but can't legally do anything
it was like people against the barrier, and then a gap where people were walking, and then he was behind that gap
i had cops harrass me for watching a concert from a fence to an amphitheater one time when i was just walking by and stopped for 2 minutes
just as long as they're not obstructing the view of anybody I don't think any festival generally cares
yeah that's just dumb

korea is just a tug of war sometimes
like mcountdown lobby being a good example of that
used to shoot outside and you had to use flash and shoot through the window. Well they opened the lobby back up during covid, but you have to shoot from the other side of the lobby when you see idols go up and it's so poorly lit up
legit I brought my 400 2.8 in there one time
still was shooting 12800 iso
meanwhile babymonster fans just went in there and started using flash this last time I was there
suddenly the photos are pretty good who'd have guessed 
well besides red eye from using flash from so far away
but yeah security would just tell us like hey don't use flash
"ok"
use flash again anyways
"hey don't use flash"
"ok"
use flash again anyways

lol, sounds like when i shot a boygroup here, a bunch of fansites came up behind me with telephotos under hoodies clicking away
then they eventually kick everybody out and then everybody goes back into the lobby 5 minutes later
usher came over to tell them they couldnt be there and they pretended to not speak english and kept shooting
yep I do that in korae
until tour staff came and bothered them
had kbs security tell me stuff in korean before and then I just kept shooting

friend comes over and tells me the security was saying something like
"crap they can't understand us they don't know what we're telling them"

ignorant foreigner card lets gooooooooooo
upholding american stereotype
I don't even blame the fansites for doing that though like if there's really one thing i've learned following this genre like i used to be super respectful of the rules and what not shooting and ofc I still am within reason
but I found out a lot of the times it was just security being bored or being an ass for no reason
I had so many times I missed photos while everybody else just kept shooting anyways and I was like bruh why are they not even enforcing what they just told me
my friend was like
"yeah there's a lot of fake jobs here in korea apparently"
Being respectful screwed me over sooooooooooooooooo many times
what i take for normal video vs photo gigs, 100 lbs on a cart vs 12 lbs in a shoulder bag
what the
get you a cart and ride it around

I've thought about getting a cart but
yep that's definitely not gonna be fun bringing around on the subway

Lolwhat
So in a way
Being rabid is one way for good pics
well yeah of course
security doesn't give a fuck about your interests
they're only out there for their own interests
this one day at mcountdown one of the security just being a dick to us and then tripleS fan manager getting mad that we were taking photos in fucking narnia not putting the girls in danger or anything but they didn't like the fact that people were taking photos of the girls while they were doing daily fan manager
oh and then the second mini fanmeeting tripleS did where we were on site for the broadcast and then they told us right as everybody is sitting down for the mini fanmeeting that we couldn't attend
I encourage anybody who claims to be a good person to go ahead and try to go deal with those scenarios and still get people mad at you when you do follow the rules
trust me you'll have your "this is bullshit i'm getting in trouble for following the rules" or "I followed the rules but I still got screwed over and missed a photo I wanted to get that I only had one chance to get" and do things for your own self interests

Livenation security like to power trip even when you have credentials and are working
there was a video i'm trying to find out where it is ik it was on spinel's channel
Had one put hands on me one time and like, dude you might hate your job but you prob don’t want to lose it for assaulting someone
ok gotta see how bad this thumbnail is
240705 H1-KEY RIINA fancam by 스피넬
- Do not edit, Do not re-upload http://thestudio.kr
ok yep it's all cut off
we good

yep this was the day I started questioning it
literally don't have a single photo of riina this day because I decided to be a rule follower and go to the ladder I set up instead of following the rest of the fans
well I do have photos of her but it's of the back of her head because she didn't look up when I called her name because she was too distracted by people 3 feet from her face

LMAOOOOO that's right you can even see me in the music bank cam for that day get pissed off over it

oh yeah the BIG time I questionned it though was at idol radio they don't let you put ladders up in the sitting area you have to put them behind this barrier. We're there for h1key and I already knew this so I set the ladder up like an hour ahead of time because thats' where they all were for kep1er
well that idol radio mbc decided to just not actually sit there and enforce anything
this one h1key fansite who i'm not gonna name comes and takes their ladder from right beside mine and puts it inside the area where they're not allowed right in front of me
I sat there until the show started and nobody came to enforce the rules and more and more people started coming in with ladders and eventually my spot went from the best view in the allowed area to literally couldn't see at all
so yep sometimes you just gotta be an ass
trust me I have hella examples to use of me actually listening to staff and then just getting clapped for it
if you're gonna get in trouble anyways you may as well do the scenario where you're gonna get something out of it 
as long as people are safe ofc
we don't put anybody in danger in this household
Yeah just gotta pick your battles
exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy
legit I told someone this recently
I was like yeah you know in korea having the gear and skill is one thing and you don't even really need the best gear
and I was telling them how like the good fansites are the ones who know how to push the boundaries

legit feel like somtimes that's way more important
Don't need the gear? I'll join you with my X100T then 
So it's just borderline
Borderline....what Twitter would call "problematic"
Teeter that line and you get good pics
Wow good words to live by
Twitter is full of paint chip eaters who are gonna hate anything you do anyway
Don't be in places you're not supposed to be and don't put the idol in danger. As long as you follow those rules basically everything is okay
it’s all a bit too manic for me
did it once in seoul but probably not again
mini fan meets are pretty chill though i would go to another outside/inside fan meets
In the past i’m used to getting a press pass for music groups and having the security guards look out for me
although my days of shooting music are in the past
I don’t even know if those hard drives still even work, i took some pretty epic shots for a national magazine & got paid by bands though the money was never that great, a nice side earner at the time..
Mbc lobby your x100t would work just fine, idols walk pretty
close
As long as they don't walk too fast. The autofocus is pretty slow 

it was like shooting on seamless black last night lol
loved it for photos, fans werent as happy with no screens or anything
Cool as !! 
Still about the same these days. Gotta be in with big artists for it to be sustainable work really. it's a fun side gig though.
@floral idol always awesome captures keep up the great work!! Are you touring with loossemble as well ?
Obviously idk people's finances here and I don't encourage people to spend money if they're struggling right now
That being said amazon is doing a lot of deals today
on like camera gear, memory cards etc
there's a lot of deals online today actually
I honestly recommend peeping rakuten if you can take advantage of it because they stack up with store discounts too so you get even more cash back
these are basically the times I wait for to buy gear kek
black friday gonna be coming next month too so if you can hold off it's worth waiting around for imo 
This Award-Winning Camera Backpack is the Ideal Carry Solution for Professional DSLR Systems with Telephoto Lenses. Its dual side-by-side camera compartments can each be dedicated to separate camera systems and their accessories using the backpack's adjustable partitions. While either camera comp...
was hoping they would have a deal for this today but they don't
friend got one during black friday before
Oh I meant to say rakuten does not stack with amazon, but they stack with a lot of other things
like rakuten is doing 10% cash back from canon right now site wide except for on products like r5 mark 2 and r1
.... of course the products people would use the most
which is funny because you can go buy a rf 400 2.8 for 12k right now through them and get the 10% cash back on that 
but god forbid you use it on the $4300 r5 mark 2
actually fuck it do I just max sellout and send my referral link lmao
|| https://www.rakuten.com/r/ROSEAN3833?eeid=28187 || there if you want, but that being said if you don't want to then just https://www.rakuten.com/
rakuten and stores will do these sorts of deals every once in a while and it's a pretty good chance to save hundreds on camera gear
had a friend of mine save like $500 on his rf 100-500 when he bought it
If you have prime that is as it's prime days
That's my noodle 
Oh nice one rose!! Yeah any money saving is good!! 
£160 on a 256gb v90 nextorage card is decent
Japanese brand (ex sony engineers)
Be sure to use keepa to check if amazon is not scamming you 
99% of the time prime day deals are just the regular price or they are on sale for said price like half of the year
Or it can still be found cheaper elsewhere still
rakuten is pretty low-key which is funny I wouldn't think they would be
they almost always stack up pretty big % cash back whenever stores do deals
I don't think Rakuten operates in Europe
not even just camera gear but i've saved hundreds on clothes and shit at the end of the year too last year with it
was pretty nice lmao
yeah it's select countries unfortunately
friend in finland just tried
ty rakuten for giving me 2 years of nordvpn for $15

When my nord subscription runs out I'm probably switching to a different vpn
yep surfshark
I was thinking express

Friend used expressvpn and she says it's really good, mainly because it works in China
Nord doesn't work in China lel
So it's much easier to access Chinese content
or just get a secret tv subscription so you have all streaming services & live tv for 90€ a year i totally did not do that

also @frigid frigate is might just hop around zeeland next month
yep gonna have to look into this

my dad wants to go to middelburg for dinner LOL
no fr do it, im not sure what would be the best for your location but there are peeps out there that sell this kinda stuff, i got mine through a colleague of my dad
Does he know what restaurant?
I don't watch tv but my dad does a lot. Was gonna look into it for him 
Go barres
I worked with the owners before at their previous restaurant which was like, high dining basically
Herberg is fine, it's affordable. But nothing special. Basically home cooking quality
Barres probably expensive though. Then again, what isn't in Middelburg 
yeah idk he went there before
but i never tagged along bc tbh im not up to drive for an hour LOL
but i guess it'll be fun for once to just chill and see zeeland again after so long + take silly pictures
Although it's so incredibly boring, at least middelburg is pretty
As long as you don't go zuid that is, that's where all the scum lives 
If you do eventually get bored. I should be in Middelburg the entirety if not most of next month I think? If you don't get bored. More staying in bed doing nothing for me 
hahahahah no sure i'd be down to meet up some time if it alligns and i dont have work
kpop brainrotting
wym chuu melt your heart
girl literally lays in the snow
scammed

also how do we feel about these attachments for a gopro?
i feel like it wont do well if mounted to a snowboard or skis
Probably better to have it mounted to your helmet or jacket is my guess
I woke up with a headache so no going out for me
Nope just Orlando. Preparing the house for the hurricane today 
Lol my prime deals are all the same as normal they just jacked up the list price to make it look like items on sale
Like I said, always use keepa

Omg stay safe !!!
Lets gooooo! Aliexpress the goat
The 512mb CF card works
Which is kinda awkward because I also have a 32 and 64mb card still on the way. But I guess those could always come in handy for something later on
Maybe for some ancient thing that shoots even smaller size pics :P
Hey, even older than me :^)
Time to give this stupid thing a go
The weather really sucks though
The most god awful lighting imaginable
I'm listening to music so I have no clue if the autofocus is in focus lol
Since it takes like 5 seconds before it beeps that it's ready :P
When you go out to take pictures and withdraw money for holiday, and you end up buying a vinyl 
Ok, I will be very kind here and say that the weather / light was insanely bad, like, awful, disgusting. Alongside that this is also a camera from '99.
That said, these pictures kinda suck ass
It is however really fun to use
I do however think that the weather was a huge influencer when it comes to how the pictures look though. As I have one picture from when the sun came out a bit more and it looks a lot better. And some pictures that focused more on indoor or similar look fine as well
But with how the weather was today, the outdoor pictures are just really awful I think no matter the camera
Here, have the 2 only good pictures I managed to take
But yeah, it's a very fun and very silly camera, I like it
Im in Tampa to cover the storm, hoo boy
Its got a certain aesthetic looks cool!
You and your things are safe??!
Ohh i hope your getting paid well
Japanese photographer Tatsuo Suzuki captures the dynamic energy of Tokyo in his gritty, black and white street photos. With a background in law at the prestigious Waseda University, Suzuki didn't start pursuing photography until 2008, but his strikin...
Yeah, just sucks that the weather was super ass today so out of like 40 pics I only have 2 usable ones 
Thats how it goes sometimes
all good, thanks
