When going to shoot these kinds of things, you need two essential tools: a list of sunset times, and a magic phrase that I'm going to tell you in the fourth paragraph. Camera settings? We'll get ...

WOW.

No not across the whole background, imagine the shadows cast by the branches of a leafless tree. It makes a pattern of light and dark that usually looks appealing and helps to separate the subject ...

For comparison, here are the specs from an Alexa:
An Open Gate ARRIRAW frame is approximately 11.30 MB. At 24 fps, this results in a bit rate of 2.16 Gbit/s and a data rate of 270 MB/s or 972,5...

You bring up a great point that is often overlooked, it is not the bitrate that makes a camera better or worse, it is how the camera maker uses those bits.
I have yet to test out an H.266 camera...

What did he say about the full-frame Foveon camera? It’s a much more important subject than yet more chunks of glass stuffed into yet more black metal tubes.
We already know the camera’s...

Fear of intimacy.

So are you guys saying that when people do their equivalence math they should be using logs instead of integers? This could be a game changer.

it’s called aerial perspective and painters have used it for more than 500 years. It is sad but not surprising that it’s not common knowledge among the supposedly serious photographers who comment ...

Excellent question. I myself am a worrier so I’m constantly making test renders, but that’s an extremely inefficient way to go about it.

Silent black and white movies are the only genre of filmmaking that has not been ruined forever by Logan Paul, so as good as it sounds and as much as I would love to buy one, doing so would be a...

Proxy files my friend. You don’t use the actual full-res files until it’s time to render out.

Testify brother! You have spoken a truth that more people should hear.  If the mods were on their toews they would pin your post to the top of the forum.

Since you’re already an artist I don’t need to tell you that if want something to look white, put it against a darker background. If you put it against another white, people will have trouble ...

Wow. You really get it. Please keep fighting the good fight

No. The future was always supposed to deliver better performance in smaller and smaller packages (with the exception of television screen size). So if this were a perfect world we’d all be shooting...

Could someone please explain why it would be wrong to give the  OP the simple, accurate answer which is “about a stop, give or take, but you need to test your camera under the conditions in which ...

I think he meant without resorting to a calculator. One of the first rules you are taught in journalism school is "don't make your readers do math, do it for them" because a certain portion of your...

Great advice. It gets back to the old Ansel Adams quote about how real photographers don’t take pictures, they make pictures. Before I read this I always thought it would be rude for a photographer ...

A computer genius friend of mine keeps telling me that the new iPads have far more computing horsepower than most laptops, though less RAM. If he’s correct does that really mean I would be able to...
