- bambax> multiple scenes that specifically required a very thin depth of fieldThe images at the end of the post are indeed amazing, but I find it funny that we're so obsessed with shallow depth-of-field as a sign of "quality" and/or meaning.For most of the history of moving pictures, cinema had the exact opposite problem: it looked for the deepest depth-of-field possible in order to make every part of the image count and not waste it to blurriness.It's a weird reversal of expectations.
- PaulHouleThis lenshttps://7artisans.store/products/50mm-f1-05is a fantastic wide aperture lens which is commercially available, affordable and a great value. Personally I tend to get bored if I am walking around with a 50mm lens but with that lens, the challenge of manual focus, the ability to take photos with hardly any light, and the ability to take dreamy photos like people have never seen I have so much fun. They make it for all the major camera brands.Overall I am impressed with Chinese lens manufacturers who make other lenses likehttps://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-9mm-f-5-6-ff-rl/which again are a great value and let me take pictures you haven't seen before.https://mastodon.social/@UP8/tagged/9mm
- JKCalhounCould also combine with the "scanner back" and not have the intermediary screen you have to photograph.Of course everything has to remain quite still…Next level indeed: https://youtu.be/KSvjJGbFCws
- thenthenthenI think next-level would be a hypercentric lens that can see around / behind objects as build buy Applied Science: https://youtu.be/iJ4yL6kaV1A?si=QG7YfeXkOqzoK46O
- tsunamifuryThis photographer seems to be chasing the Alec Soth look which can be had with a large format camera and a scanner back.https://www.mcad.edu/events/visiting-artist-lecture-alec-sot...
- foldr> And, the combination of wide-angle-view and super-high-aperture would literally require light to pass through the metal of the camera in order to reach the sensor:This isn’t necessarily true when using a retrofocus wideangle design (as most modern ultrawide lenses do).
- NooneAtAll3what if I want the opposite effect?I hate blur, how do I remove all of it?
- IshKebab> Now, here's the kicker:Come on now.
