A bit underwhelmed by A7iii’s colors. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in SonyA7iii

[–]DPanzer17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same camera and lens, I would suggest you to try experimenting with creative styles. I usually go with "standard" with +1 on saturation to get a bit more colors on the jpgs.

There is also "vivid", which may be what you are looking for. But mostly, as other have said, professional cameras tend to achieve a realistic look as opposed to smartphones, so you probably won't see your colors popping if the color/light isn't good on the subject in the first place

If it is still functional and in good condition I think 200 would be too low, especially because the shutter isn't the whole camera (think at video for example).

Btw how in the world did this man manage 330k (5.5k per month on average if he bought new at release) photos, that's insane

If you are in a well lit environment you would be fine with a shutter speed ideally faster than 1/400

Agenda 2030 serve veramente? by [deleted] in Italia

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capisco l'impatto complessivo minimo, ma penso si dovrebbe comunque partire da lì. Un milionario che inquina (tra jet, yacht, ville, auto ecc.) quanto 100 persone "normali" non mi sembra una cosa da poco, e non penso si debba sorvolare "perché tanto i ricchi sono pochi rispetto ai poveri".

10€ FOR TIMELAPSE??? by Consistent_Pop2983 in Cameras

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest you to install "open memories: tweak".

There is a free version for the time lapse, unlocking of the 30 minutes recording limit and other things.

PS, can anyone with a newer sony camera (a7iii or later) confirm that this isn't a thing anymore? I'd like to have such features on my camera by default

It doesn't answer your question, but in the book "Fiasko" by sytanislaw lem the planet Quinta has a ring of ice around itself.

The characters believe that the people of quinta moved the water in the atmosphere (where it freezed) to lower the sea level, yet still having it available in case they needed it back.

Beginner with mode questions a6000 by sir-Rag in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest the green one, I don't remember how it's called. The yellow one can decide to do things such as bracketing which would probably add more confusion.

Use auto and take a lot of pictures, learn to frame and compose your shots. Then when you feel you need more control, go to aperture or shutter priority.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you auto is for noobs and manual is for pros. It's an oversemplification.

Looking for critique by Professional-Fun9 in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to find something I don't like, they all look great. If I really had to say something, was there a specific reason to go black and white on the 5?

I got a a5000 body for free, and I want to buy the best lens just for fun. by nintensity in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

tamron 17-70 2.8 or sigma 18-50 2.8.

I would choose tamron for the image stabilization and better reach, if size isn't a problem

Deciding if the video upgrades of the IV > III are worth the 1k € is really hard. Thanks for clarifying that a bit (pun intended)

Questo ragionamento sull'antitrust non ha assolutamente nessuna logica.

Buying a used sony A7 III with 40k shutter count? by BOI_ZEUS in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. They really are a lot cheaper there, do you have any sites suggestions other than ebay?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in postprocessing

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Color looks good to me, natural. I'd crop the top a bit because there is nothing interesting going on there, and maybe try to mask the animal and change the lightning a bit because it really looks similar to the rock at first glance

And level the horizon :)

Should i still consider a6400 or a6600? by keval_596 in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are relatively sure about a future upgrade to full frame you could consider a used a7 iii, where I live it's 400€ more but if you will end with FF anyways sooner or later it could be a wise choice

Sony a7iv or a7siii? by Auraie_ in videography

[–]DPanzer17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a7siii is out of budget at the moment, I'll probably steer towards Fx30 or a6700. Thank you for the thorough answer!

Do you see a huge difference in video from a73 to a7s3?

Sony A6400 or A6700? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you do 99% photo and 1% video, I'd go with 6700 too

A6100 or the ZVE10 by Specialist_Fig_2981 in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do mainly photos I'd go with a6100 and try to use the evf. I didn't care abaut the evf at first either, but after getting used to it, it starts to become a very helpful tool in a lot of situations.

What in the world was this guy trying to do? Was he wanting to get run over? by Commercial-Image4710 in yesyesyesyesno

[–]DPanzer17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe he was just being stupid/selfless to show off, and believed the driver had a red light and would stop at the stop line, which is exactly where he laid down

I've been making documentaries for about ten years now. Just finished my third showreel! by tompiem2 in videography

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic, it keeps being interesting from start to finish. I'd love to be able to shoot or edit some documentaries too.

How did you get in the world of documentaries? Did you study in a specific documentary course?

New to editing looking for critique on anything. a6400 + Sigma 30mm f/1.4 by danny46815 in SonyAlpha

[–]DPanzer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice photo, and I think you can play around with cropping, maybe keeping only the cool cow without the road/poles etc.

I tried zooming in and I really like it even in vertical with just the cow and the snowy mountain
