thank you guys! i was shooting on the top level of a parking garage with IS off until mall security came to complain... i need my own security guard... security to stop the security... ?

you can discuss the technique all you want, but when people write that they LOVE IT in CAPITAL LETTERS... it doesnt get any better than that

Guys – I have to get some shots tomorrow with a locked down camera that is not moving at all, in order to do some double exposure effects in post. I'm gonna be using my 24-105 IS L f/4 SO.... in my mind there is no reason that IS should be on, and it could possibly create bad results, and that's common knowledge. TRUE OR FALSE?

no kidding. thats a problem. if one of those trees goes up the whole mountain is on fire ?

im sold on dark skies and springs and bighorn sheep id go yeah guys, socal is crazy. riverside county is huge too! i live up in the san bernardino mountains heres a picture thru my living room window!!! its so peaceful i love it

ah, so in January when the festival happens its beautiful weather someone should have a fest in the worst weather possible... or just some extreme conditions. its a good gimmick some crazy shit like this

@fuzzynormal omg lol i looked it up and i forgot that BS is in SD county ? its huge ppl dont get that. like when I think of San Diego, where does it end....? no one rlly knows does BS have "springs"? that sounds enticing. did u know it snowed?? sometimes

omg thought this was a joke at first ? crazy times guys

heard abt this... interesting youtube definitely needs competition my first reaction was, why IGTV? like call letters? lol what is this radio everyone calls instagram insta it should be instaTV ?

out of likes /thats important. context

honestly i watched ten seconds of that video and i was like "hire a supermodel" lol

and this too

legit question: when was the last time a short or a directors career took off bc of a festival? NOT cuz a video also has 3 million views on vimeo seriously curious abt whats going on in these streets

i thought that was cool~! as a fine artist, ill avoiding criticizing the validity of the names he mentioned as examples, or the frame to painting direct analogy, bc its nitpicking, and i really like Geoff's point in principle ive said the same thing essentially, maybe playing devils advocate, trying to open peoples minds how much dynamic range does this image have? i must have a RED® camera with at least 15 stops

@kidzrevil im out of likes (whats that all abt???) /YES i WILL!! thanks for the recommendation ?

i dont want to change the subject, but guess who went to the vet and now weighs 175lbs

no kidding. is it worth it for my 4 yr old samsung plasma?

thanks @squig~~! ill pm you the first shot should be low contrast and dark. im actually ramping the exposure a bit during the second shot, like its dawning the first shot is the first shot of the film, it fades in from black and that guy is asleep, and he awakes in the dark. going for subtle there i need one. my 2013 imac isnt cutting it, and my plasma can look great but its uncalibrateable lol. just looking for a happy medium across devices u kno edit: oh and @mercer i emailed u a dng!

i want the top shot to be really dark and low contrast... hes "waking up in the dark". its definitely pushing it tho lol honestly, i think thats what happened -- those shots were noisy as heck before lowering the exposure several stops, desaturating, etc. i can post a dng frame you can check out if u want. but yeah its resolves magic and idk what else, but it seems to have worked ok?? edit: oh and i havent even gotten into noise reduction or any of that. i thought i was gonna have to just to make these clips look ok, but not at all the noise is rlly nice and magic lantern-y. itll need a little work but it seems like a suprisingly successful experiment (?) ill post some full res pics and the dngs when im off of work ?

im using a hacked camera from 2012. thats where im at with canon edit: i tried to read that article and the first sentence had me cracking up ?????? AAAAHAHAHAAA... thats just so FUNNY but... maybe its true lol

you guessed it im using a 24-105 IS L for the entire short~! tempted to have less light and wider apertures, but "movies are shot at f/4" and all

? it so is 80% of the time you just point it at stuff and everything looks amazing

absolutely. im basically talking about light sources, speculars. or creatively you might want to do something different, but i mean "whites", if you will edit: and i can just kind of judge how much i can recover the highlights based on where they clip onscreen edit 2: im gonna write a guide called The Laziest Way to Shoot Raw

no im not using any exposure aid ??? i can only attribute this to being really familiar with the stills from the camera – i knooo its not the same, but its similar – and ive been shooting lil practice clips for months, messing around in post just trying to get a feel for it yup, thats the idea~! although in practice its kind of a "concept" i reach for ?

I kno right. that guy in those shots has been GREAT. so cool. one lady ditched me, and im still yet to meet the third actor in person, so im 50/50 on this one so far lol and now that i think about it, heres the reality of my stupid way of exposing: i dont like to have stuff on the screen, peaking, histogram, anything, i prefer a clean view to having that stuff. SO, im exposing by eye, and what i do is... well, it depends if i know i want to pull maximum dr out of the shot, im gonna ETTR as much as i think i can get away with. but for most shots, i just expose so that the highlights clip where i want on the screen, and that seems to give me plenty of room to recover highlights in post. super ghetto, i kno what i mean is: any shot where i want anything in it to clip, i just adjust to that end with whats on the screen, so its clipping the way i want exposure-wise right on the screen. in 5dr raw there isnt a ton of dr to work with, but i like the way it clips as long as its exposed correctly, u kno? does that make any sense ?
