So I've never actually tried low light with my f/4 lens/s because the internet told me it would suck. These I got because I couldn't be bothered changing lens for a couple quick shots. And are only process on Lightroom with my phone so no ai denoise
So happy with how they turned out
I was very on the fence when this lens came up when I was looking at buying my next lens. I heard about issues with it being soft on the long end and having to stop down significantly. While it is true it’s best to stop down slightly and shoot at 275mm, the lens is fantastic and so lightweight. I’ll definitely upgrade to the 100-400 for the extra reach at some point but as someone just starting out, you can’t go wrong with getting this lens 😁
A few weeks ago I wrapped my third short EXPOSURE - a psychological horror/black comedy film following Mia (Lauren Ashley Carter), an agoraphobic woman with a dark past who is pushed to the limit during a home invasion. Gwyneth Evans co-stars as Kim, a haunted figure whose life collides with Mia's on one fateful night.
After making two ultra-DIY horror films (BREAKFAST and UNDERTONE) where I was the only on-screen actor, it was so nice to stay behind the camera and work with a small but tremendously talented cast.
This was still a very DIY shoot with only 3 crew members - myself working as director/DoP, my wife as boom op, and a friend as a general helping hand - but I'm so thrilled with the footage we got. I spent hundreds of hours over the last few months doing camera, lighting, sound, and effects tests to make sure I was as prepared as possible before we rolled cameras.
I shot it on Lumix GH7 with the Leica 10-25 F1.7 and Sigma 56mm f1.4 lenses and primarily used 3 lights - Amaran 300c, Aputure MC for fill and Aputure MC Pro for hair/accents.
Also to really dial in the confinement aspect of the film I'll be presenting it in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
I almost have a rough cut of the film ready but as I handle almost all post-production in-house it probably won't be finished until Christmas - I've got a ton of inserts to shoot, then picture-lock, getting my composer to start the score while I do sound design, final polish and finally start sending off to summer 2027 genre festivals.
Thanks for taking a look!
The last day with the OM3. Tomorrow it has to go back to OM; I’m definitely going to miss it. But I don’t think our story is over yet 😅
Hey there, I'm new to the M43 universe. I picked up my 2018 GX85 about a month ago and have been having a blast with it. I've been getting some adaptors to work with some hand me down vintage lenses and pick ups from estate sales. Mostly shooting on the Lumix 14mm 2.5 prime.
Here's a handful of images I've taken so far with it. Would love any M43 words of wisdom for a newbie, especially if someone has any gx85 insights I should be aware of.
The biggest reason I bought the E-M1. As expected, the fact that
didn't have to avoid the rain was appealing.
It rained that day as well, and although I was a little worried,
I was able to take photos without any issues.
Considering it was nighttime, I set the exposure to -2 steps,
but I'm not entirely satisfied with the result.
Decided to put the weather sealing of my gear to the test on a morning walk in the rain. Happy to report the G9 + 100-400 f/4-6.3 held up perfectly in a reasonable downpour.
I'm curious to know if anybody just leaves their polarizer filter on all of the time along with a UV filter? I've always kept the UV filter on but I started leaving the polarizer on, too. It blocks some of the light but the camera compensates. I'm trying to figure out if I'm being stupid by doing this.
i used to watch my iso like a hawk. lower my shutter speeds to just to avoid noise. now i literally don’t even think about it . the ai noise reduction in dxo is so good i think it resolves a lot of what people say micro four thirds is lacking in low light. coming from just a casual photographer not a professional
Hello everyone,
I’m picking up a em5 mk ii for a trip I’m taking to the Yukon next week and wanted some advice on what lens to pair with it. Can only really spend on one lens atm but want something that can be versatile for capturing some nice mountain scenery on hiking trails, some potential wild life and some of the night sky with potential Milky Way showing & northern lights. Any advice would be much appreciated!!
Hi,
I'm seriously considering purchasing an OM-D EM10 Mark 2 and was reading a lot of reviews about this beautiful old lady.
I was thinking about using it with the default settings... and then I read this guide:
https://robinwong.blogspot.com/2019/11/robin-wongs-om-d-cheat-sheet-updated.html
Which seems to get the most out of the camera.
Are any of you using these settings as Robin suggested?
Thanks a lot.
Panasonic has discontinued the 20mm f/1.7. From what I can find, there is no plan for an updated version.
Wish OM systems would offer a new 17mm f/2.8.
Anyone know of any new ones planned or coming on the market?
Sun discs taken with a OM 100-400mm IS II + a solar filter, landscape taken with a 12-40mm f2.8 Pro. Really happy how this turned out!
Is the om5 ii a worthwhile upgrade over the e-m1 ii? I use my e-m1 mainly for holidays and family gatherings using prime lenses (the pana 20mm basically lives on my camera) and occasionally go for wildlife using the 75-300. Sometimes the e-m1 ii feels too much camera for my needs.
A lighter and smaller camera appeals to me as would the new menus in hope. I like quality the e-m1 ii produces so i do not want to give too much in in that regard. It would cost me €200 upgrading, would it really be a quality of life upgrade? Any advice?
