Some taken with my first "pro" camera, 1Ds II. I think that even today it holds up well. Maybe more street than landscape/cityscape? VH0M5745 by C M, on Flickr VH0M5725 by C M, on Flickr VH0M3786 by C M, on Flickr Going down by C M, on Flickr

 I've yet to find a stitching solution that can handle powerlines. Tried 4 different programs, might have to dig out the PC and use the old Microsoft ICE for this shot. Wanted to get it before the sun was down but it was raining and the sign wasn't on. Might try again with a longer focal length, but I also like how tiny it is in that space.  100% crop Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Feb 7, 2024 |

What's your setup? You just panning your camera on a head or you using a rail to (try to) exploit the nodal point? Don't get me wrong, I have no suggestions, I'm purely fishing for info. I've grown addicted to panos and have been trying to decide how to step it up because the stitching is such a horrible chore. I won't do scenes with straight lines because of the stitching problem and I'm curious if a nodal rail or one of those ridiculous gimbal setups will help. Granted, it's almost certainly a software problem. Nick Carver did a video a ways back where he tested film scan techniques and one of them was using a DSLR, and even in a controlled environment where he made sure the camera was perfectly square to his film he had issues stitching power lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9d8BukUgzI&t=1756s It's absurd but it's got me coming up with a plot to get into 4x5 just so I can do this stuff in a single frame. The digital world hasn't really addressed this problem, the closest you can get is spending $10k to get a medium format setup that does 100MP and cropping the poo poo out of it. Even as expensive as film+developing is I could shoot for years and not spend that much.

Mostly just handheld, but I have toyed with the idea of getting a dedicated head for it since I do them often enough. The problem is I'm usually not carrying a tripod or even a bag that could carry one, often just on my bike with the camera in the handlebar bag. I'd say Lightroom handles it fine 90% of the time, but that 10% is a massive pain that mostly kills the shot. Viginti Septem posted:Re: power lines. How many photos are you taking for that stitch? That was 4 shots, but I did one with 8 for more overlap and it had even worse breaks in the lines. Using a calculator, that shot comes out to the equivalent of a 27mm f/0.7 shot which is cool.

This is super cool. honestly, even after you posted about the powerlines I can't see the issue, so I think it works. I love that you can see the different light sources at the back of the block, really three dimensional huhu posted:
the shadows and reflections in these are great, really clever shots imo best one of the patch yet i took a chance on a vitoret off ebay and just got the first roll back, good news is it worked, bad news is these images are pretty bad lol. I only had fomapan 400 on hand and the max speed is 1/125 so these are nearly all at f16 and overexposed. This is my first time using a camera with zone focus/no way to check focus so I guess some of it is learning, but man a lot of these came back terrible. Here's a couple of the ok ones (these are the scans i got back, no post except rotation/resizing):     there's obviously some poo poo in the lens, not sure if there's much I can do about it without taking it apart, which I am not game to do. this image is boring but was at f8 and the image quality is noticeably better, so I'll probably try again with either 100 or 50 iso film and see how it goes (also I'll probably use an actual film lab instead of a chain camera store)

majour333 posted:No reason, your work is amazing. What did you shoot this set on? Sorry for the late reply. I'll have to double-check at home but I'm reasonably sure I shot this on Superia 400 with my Olympus OM-1n. It's my first film camera that I picked up around 2 years ago. I barely used it for the first year as it's fully manual with a broken light meter but it did get me venturing into film which has been a super fun, challenging and educational experience. And now I'm poor. I think I've been following this thread for a decade, it's absolutely my favourite thread to scroll through. I like to check in every month or so to let the posts build up.

Probably the 4:3 in this case, with the pano it feels forced to not cut off the tower and ends up not leaving enough space under the dump truck. But otherwise I'd always vote for the pano.

I think it works better in colour. There isn't enough tonal separation to really make the black and white work so the colour helps with legibility.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q9i_HEOkxo Super informative video going in depth with how lighting and sunsets work. Most of it is a good explanation of things we know intuitively, but some of it is very counter-intuitive and will be very helpful in future shooting (like light getting harsher even as it dims after the sun sets). I never considered that being the case with the sun even though it works exactly the same with strobes. I just assumed the atmospheric diffusion would outweigh that effect, but cool to see examples of the opposite. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Feb 16, 2024 |

That is really cool. Some of the stuff in there I'd started to recognize just from lingering outside before sunrise/after sunset but it's way cooler to actually know why it's that way. The light when the sun is 15-25 minutes beyond the horizon is gorgeous to just stare at. Hard to compose a photo for sunrise because it's pretty dark when I set up but I've trained myself to stay in one spot for 30 minutes after sunset because it's gonna get gorgeous. I gotta find a copy of that book. It looks pretty easy to find, there's several editions out. Some of them are priced at lol numbers though.

Galen Rowell's 'Mountain Light' seems pretty similar (I have it, not the book he mentions) and is apparently one tenth the price that video only makes me wish i still had a T/S lens. oh well

Spending my Friday afternoon googling options for a bellows set for a mirrorless camera. And lenses with enough flange distance that a bellows will work. A 105mm LF lens only provides a 20 degree angle of view on a FF camera.

I didn't get to see that moment so not sure if a long lens would have been better but as is I think the positioning of the road really solidifies things. The sense of scale and depth it provides really makes it better.
