Or is that stuff not payable

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

Woah not even getting paid

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

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 AMsalute

#

I guess they would need some special access to setup like that for concerts

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

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

grave prairie
#

Ah its the canon rf 800mm f11

#

$1000

frigid frigate
#

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

night mulch
#

god I want that stupid ef 200 f2 lens again

#

I remember having so many issues with it though on moving subjects jihanFacepalm

#

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

frigid frigate
#

One way to find out

night mulch
#

was the lens that made yuki freak out

#

gotta get it again just for that reason copium

pulsar perch
#

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...

night mulch
#

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 jihanFacepalm

#

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 KEKW

#

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

grave prairie
#

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

night mulch
#

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

velvet violet
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Cute

velvet violet
#

its indeed a lil tiny one

#

ill try to shoot some stuff this month and develop in town

frigid frigate
#

Get your own development chamber :^)

velvet violet
#

hahahahaha i could technically

#

got two basements in the apartment building (my mom could rent the extra one for 4€ a month) HeheBoy

#

maybe im onto something here

pulsar perch
#

make sure all the light seals/foam seals are intact

grave prairie
#

You can buy light seal foam i installed some on a camera i had

night mulch
#

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 KEKW

#

video is just so interesting to me these days

grave prairie
night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

if you use A 360 degree camera might be a pain blurring out peoples faces nearby

#

dunno

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

@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

velvet violet
#

i use the pocket 2 and even that one is so nice

grave prairie
night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Mr big money in the house

night mulch
#

Gotta take the photo before I sell one of the other cameras to make up for it

#

Yep definitely keeping it all copium

grave prairie
#

Canon is normally more user friendly

#

For video i prefer the c70

#

the image that comes from that is so organic

night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

You should've been quirky and gone with Olympus

night mulch
#

why stop there

#

lets go pentax

night mulch
#

took a cfex b card out and almost burned myself

#

yep this is the content I was expecting

grave prairie
#

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

grave prairie
#

If only pastel color did yeojin fancams my life would be complete

grave prairie
#

Actually are you going to be able to make any of loossembles schedules ?

night mulch
#

I actually don't know where they're going

#

I didn't have intention of going kek

night mulch
night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

Maybe something like this?

#

Except rf

night mulch
#

Yeah idk why they don't have an option for rf

#

I imagine it's because of flange distance and digital lens correction

night mulch
#

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 oliviakek

grave prairie
#

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

grave prairie
night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

Did they use the same luts for both cameras ?

grave prairie
#

for the tests

night mulch
#

Believe so yeah I'll have to look at the video again today when I get off work

night mulch
#

Lol fell asleep when I got home deadge FeelsOldMan

#

Just remembered this conversation

#

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

grave prairie
frigid frigate
#

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?

pulsar perch
#

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.

frigid frigate
night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

Gerald just dropped a video on it today

night mulch
#

Oh shit really?

#

I'm absolutely about to watch that then

night mulch
#

damn it gerald lmao

#

the one review that I need

#

he didn't touch on the photo side generally at all jihanFacepalm

#

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

grave prairie
#

yeah he’s video centric HibikiShrug

#

but could have touched on photos more

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

Someone might have

night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Give it to me

night mulch
#

Can't give to you what I don't have

grave prairie
#

Lol pepe slide

frigid frigate
red tartan
#

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 kek

frigid frigate
#

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

red tartan
#

yeppp that's why it's sus to buy the turbo expensive ones

frigid frigate
#

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

night mulch
#

what teh

#

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 KEKW

grave prairie
#

Hahaha

#

nice

night mulch
#

I'm not gonna lie.....

#

It looks pretty cool....

frigid frigate
#

💸

night mulch
#

No kidding

#

LOL

#

rather just find a ND filter alternative

#

Triple base iso though sheeeesh

#

😮‍💨

frigid frigate
#

Just use your phone smh

night mulch
#

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

grave prairie
#

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

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Same performance Samsung card costs about the same

velvet violet
#

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

#

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

autumn bridge
#

motherf-

floral idol
#

Haha, yeah that’s my shot

autumn bridge
#

Did they contract you or lumpsum?

#

or is that information under NDA?

grave prairie
#

Great capture!!

floral idol
autumn bridge
#

For MH meaning you're contracted

#

How's the margin vs cost?

#

If you can share

floral idol
#

I charge pretty standard rates for shooting and licensing, been doing this for 16 years now!

autumn bridge
#

Oh alright

#

I know this is quite out of character of this server but

#

Do you also shoot tripleS?

floral idol
#

Not yet, probably will for their next tour if I’m available

autumn bridge
#

ah i see

floral idol
#

Here’s a few of my favs from the tour

autumn bridge
#

Yeah I saw

#

Godly

#

Poster worthy everytime

trim tree
#

they're amazing!

frigid frigate
#

Neat

grave prairie
floral idol
#

I've been telling them to do it since the C70 released. Canon started slow this generation but they're killing it now

night mulch
#

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 KEKW

frigid frigate
#

Just get both 5head

night mulch
#

True why didn't I think of that

floral idol
#

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

frigid frigate
#

I should get davinci at one point

#

Because fuck Adobe

floral idol
#

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.

frigid frigate
#

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

floral idol
#

Yeah I rely on Lightroom 100% for photos, but for video I’m fully out of adobe ecosystem and can’t imagine going back

frigid frigate
#

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

floral idol
#

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

autumn bridge
#

is Affinity good?

autumn bridge
floral idol
#

people like the Photo app pretty well from what I hear

autumn bridge
#

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

night mulch
#

i'll show you a pull up

frigid frigate
#

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

floral idol
#

some more tour work, these are fun because the girls each picked out the photos they wanted for them

grave prairie

there's the set of them

were any of these your photos? realeyes

they all are

my favs from the uh, 15000 or so i shot for the tour

night mulch

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

floral idol
#

yeah there are 10 moonshot objekts

night mulch
#

what the

#

so they just picked your photos for all 10?

floral idol
#

yeah they hired me for the tour with that in mind

#

the girls picked the ones they wanted to use

night mulch

Totally not overkill for something that shoots 700kb pictures KEKW

floral idol
#

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

pulsar perch
#

how much data did you lose

#

storage is replaceble, data is invaluable

floral idol
#

None, they imported both cards before they went missing

#

They at least did that part of their job right lol

pulsar perch
#

that's a relief

frigid frigate
#

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

frigid frigate
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Oh god, 64gb is enough for 91000 pictures

floral idol
#

Client is trying to find them or they’ll replace them thankfully

frigid frigate
#

I was assuming V30 or V60 as that's a bit more popular than V90 :P

frigid frigate
#

I really really hope the stupid adapter thingy works. I really want to use this stupid thing

pulsar perch
#

why not just use actual CF cards instead?

frigid frigate
#

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

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

That's the gamble

pulsar perch
#

worth a try

frigid frigate
#

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

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

It came out before sd cards yeah, early 99

#

sd cards are late 99 right?

pulsar perch
#

I believe so, the association came to be jan 2000, but sd cards were out mid to late 99

frigid frigate
#

But yeah, I'm excited to use this silly thing

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

frigid frigate
#

Yeah, ordered some high capacity rechargable ones

floral idol
frigid frigate
#

Yo that looks crazy

pulsar perch
#

CR123 and CR2's were pretty commonly used in these cameras too

frigid frigate
#

Also, this thing is super light, probably because it's magnesium

pulsar perch
#

but I've been burnt on too many such promised projects in the past to get my hopes up lol

pulsar perch
frigid frigate
#

How much did it even cost back in the day?

pulsar perch
#

around $800-900 US dollars

#

in 1999 money

frigid frigate
#

Oh yeah, that's like, $2M in today's money

pulsar perch

hahaha

frigid frigate
#

I have no clue what my dad paid for it, he's had it since 99/00 or so

pulsar perch
#

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

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

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

floral idol

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

frigid frigate
#

I'd still like to eventually one day™️ get a proper mirrorless camera

#

Instead of having the lineup of silliest cameras in the world

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Just ductape your sony lenses to them Kappa

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

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

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Since I already have a bunch of silly stuff I'd rather just use that and then buy a SheenWicked mirrorless down the road when I have all the money

pulsar perch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

My main camera is an X100T

pulsar perch
#

well then you already have a good one lol

frigid frigate
#

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

#

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

pulsar perch
#

and they certainly charge an arm and a leg for them lol

floral idol
#

And the rumored 400-600 2.8-4 would be an absolute power move in the sports world

pulsar perch
#

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

floral idol
#

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

bad news: everglow show i was shooting tomorrow was cancelled

#

good news: found a really clean 300 2.8 IS for a great deal

night mulch
#

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 jihanFacepalm

frigid frigate
#

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 chuukek

#

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

pulsar perch
#

right, CF card readers aren't as common as they once were as part of the multi card readers

Ugreen to the rescue :P

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

floral idol
pulsar perch
#

Panasonic and Samsung also already did that one lol

floral idol
#

Yongnuo still making something like that. Full android device with a m43 mount

#

I’d buy one if they brought it here

pulsar perch
#

yeah it's been tried and tried, but turns out ergonomics are kind of important

#

it's a nice novelty though

floral idol
#

Yeah I’m the 0.1% of consumers that would use it

frigid frigate
#

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

floral idol
#

I’m happy with the log ProRes video but less so with the photos

#

Even the 5x has good dynamic range and grades well

floral idol
#

5x photo is ok, pretty soft

#

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.?

pulsar perch
#

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.

frigid frigate
# floral idol I’m happy with the log ProRes video but less so with the photos

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

velvet violet
#

id say definitely use it

#

its a lot of fun to make mini vlogs

frigid frigate
#

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 chuukek

#

But yeah, maybe one day I'll attempt learning video color grading

velvet violet
#

honestly i vlog when i go to cities

#

just film the people, restaurants ect

frigid frigate
#

I do that but with taking pictures :P

velvet violet
#

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

frigid frigate
#

I sold my dji gimbal

velvet violet
#

i love it, def a lot of fun

frigid frigate
#

Because I just don't use it enough

velvet violet
#

gonna try to see if i can catch some stuff at the The Driver Era concert on the 8th

frigid frigate
#

I used it maybe once a month, so it just doesn't feel worth keeping

velvet violet
#

Def going to film at NIKI concert as well in november

frigid frigate
#

Plus it adds so much extra bulk when traveling

velvet violet
#

ahh so many concerts lining up and ive gotta be able to film n take pics for it all sieosnan

frigid frigate
#

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

velvet violet
#

ohh yeah

#

smallrig has nice ones

#

or well a friend of mine uses smallrig a lot

frigid frigate
#

Still super compact but then your hands are like, free

velvet violet

pretty light to carry as well

frigid frigate

No need to hold everything

Hold you phone and not worry about pwoerbank and whatever

velvet violet

he uses this one

oof

thats why u save hyunface

frigid frigate
#

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 Kappa

#

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 chuukek

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...

frigid frigate
#

I don't even dare ask how fucking expensive that was lmao

#

That stuff's like €450 here

night mulch
#

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 KEKW

#

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

night mulch
#

oh woops time stamped

#

oh well cute

#

but yep 42 minutes jihanFacepalm

frigid frigate
#

Insane deal though

night mulch
#

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 chuukek

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

frigid frigate

Actually, it's an x66 card so it should do like 10MB/s?

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.

frigid frigate
#

I've only had good experiences with Lexar in the past years

floral idol
#

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

frigid frigate
#

No warranty? Average American moment chuukek

#

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

floral idol
#

That’s the only card failure I’ve had in 17 years of work lol

frigid frigate
#

Poor little guy :(

floral idol
#

Pulled it out of the camera and it just fell apart

Still worked fine though lol

floral idol

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

frigid frigate
#

Worlds most expensive bag

floral idol
#

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

floral idol
#

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

frigid frigate

woah amazing captures as always Smile

The angelbird sd i have seems really solid

so not doing much photo or video work .. maybe later

frigid frigate
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Alright, Aliexpress to the rescue. Ordered a 32mb, 64mb, 256mb, and 512mb CF card chuukek

#

Lets see which one works

velvet violet

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 yeojinsmile

frigid frigate

Hey, look at it this way, at least it got into good hands :)

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

night mulch
#

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

floral idol
#

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

night mulch
#

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

floral idol
#

that fan drain battery that much? or shooting 8k?

night mulch
#

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

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

#

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 KEKW

#

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

ignorant foreigner card lets gooooooooooo

floral idol
#

upholding american stereotype

night mulch
#

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

"yeah there's a lot of fake jobs here in korea apparently"

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

night mulch
#

ok gotta see how bad this thumbnail is

#

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 omegakekw

#

as long as people are safe ofc

#

we don't put anybody in danger in this household

floral idol
#

Yeah just gotta pick your battles

night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

Don't need the gear? I'll join you with my X100T then Kappa

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 chuukek

Can I ask for Jiwoo

Tall one not the short one

#

Godsend if it's landscape

#

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 YEPW

#

was hoping they would have a deal for this today but they don't sadge friend got one during black friday before

night mulch
#

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 KEKW

#

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

#

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

Oh nice one rose!! Yeah any money saving is good!! vivikek

#

£160 on a 256gb v90 nextorage card is decent

#

Japanese brand (ex sony engineers)

frigid frigate
#

Be sure to use keepa to check if amazon is not scamming you chuukek

#

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

night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

I don't think Rakuten operates in Europe

night mulch
#

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

frigid frigate
#

When my nord subscription runs out I'm probably switching to a different vpn

night mulch
#

yep surfshark

frigid frigate
#

I was thinking express

night mulch
frigid frigate
#

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

#

#

#

my dad wants to go to middelburg for dinner LOL

frigid frigate
#

Welcome to hell

#

Big mistake

#

Unless you like spending €1M on dinner

velvet violet
frigid frigate
#

Does he know what restaurant?

night mulch
#

I don't watch tv but my dad does a lot. Was gonna look into it for him omegakekw

velvet violet
#

probably either barres or de herberg

#

just simple day out while taking pics

frigid frigate
#

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 chuukek

velvet violet
#

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

frigid frigate
#

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 Kappa

velvet violet
#

hahaha literally every city be like

#

"go zuid and die"

frigid frigate
#

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 susyes

velvet violet
#

hahahahah no sure i'd be down to meet up some time if it alligns and i dont have work

#

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

frigid frigate
#

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

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

My cart changed $2 for 4 items vivikek

#

Yeah I have something similar to check

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 :^)

frigid frigate
#

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

frigid frigate
#

When you go out to take pictures and withdraw money for holiday, and you end up buying a vinyl chuukek

frigid frigate
#

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
