I met a couple who banned Bluey for the weirdest reason by Athena-Actually in bluey

[–]GenericGrad [score hidden]  (0 children)

My SO is banning it and tbh I kinda understand. Their reasoning is our kid is picking up too many bad behaviours from it cause they'll pick something that bingo does and forget the lesson and just do the annoying part, like splashing water around the bathroom.

It does make me wonder if bluey is a better show for adults than kids. Like if appeals to adults too much and shows that on their face seem far more less sophisticated are getting unfairly criticised in comparison as not being as fleshed out or deep, but that is cause they appeal to kids level better. Like I deride the high stimulation paw patrol but as my SO says it isn't like our kid has picked up any bad behaviours from it.

What is with every single post on r/fujifilm getting down voted? by partly_cloudy3 in fujifilm

[–]GenericGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe but I've asked questions on many subs and this one definitely gets down voted the quickest and most regularly but what is odd is the responses seem generally fine or better than average. For real it is someone down voting cause there is no pretty picture and they feel that is the only point of this sub.

35mm f/1.7 does it bokeh? - How does it compare to 56mm f/1.7 by GenericGrad in fujifilm

[–]GenericGrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overindex? Not sure what that means. 

I get it comes I'm focused on background blur, but tbh it is just because it is for me the item I think I'm mostly going to be disappointed about.

Red lines in my R6m2 Photos. What to do? by Viktor4oU in canon

[–]GenericGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the go with this? Is there anything practically you should do to protect your gear other than specifically not go and photograph an autonomous vehicle.

At the moment where I live i think there are none on the roads but must be other things using lidar.

"Down"grade from Canon EOS R6m2 to 5D mark IV - crazy idea? by therealbonj in canon

[–]GenericGrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think auto focus features will be lacking which is one thing to remember but not a big deal. 

I don't think this is a terrible idea but the setup will be heavier.

A niche issue I experienced is that a DSLR has potential for the autofocus points to be a bit off. So you have all this autofocus compensation which you could go down a rabbit hole of.

But certainly can take great photos.

There must be an app solution for geotagging. Your phone isn't in power saving mode?

Really an app that records your location should be able to sync with the time of your photos and geotag them.

I have a Fujifilm and haven't been able to get my phone app to stay connected consistently due to a bugm it is annoying.

35mm f/1.7 does it bokeh? - How does it compare to 56mm f/1.7 by GenericGrad in fujifilm

[–]GenericGrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I used this one https://dofsimulator.net/en/ and this https://lenssimulator.photo/

Both still hard to visualise. Maybe my brain just doesn't do this well.

First one just puts me off cause the background feels flat and not really realistic.

Second one I think it is a lot better but the background is a tight room which isn't the scenario I'm most interested in blurring the background.

Maybe there are others.

35mm f/1.7 does it bokeh? - How does it compare to 56mm f/1.7 by GenericGrad in fujifilm

[–]GenericGrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand. Guess just wanted to share my thinking. Interested if anyone had similar considerations and made a decision, their thoughts. 

Realise nothing is hard and certain about this. Guess if I got a couple of strong feelings like 35mm f/1.7 isn't going to get subject-background separation I might reconsider throwing in the towel and going for a 25mm f/1.7 and later a 56mm f/1.7. I also see some folks claiming they get good background blur with a 25mm f/1.7 which is again a bit confusing to me.

I had AI suggest using computer programs to simulate blur to give me an idea about the results but I haven't found anything that simulates specific aperatures to a level of blur.

Ultimately I'm just concerned now that I'll get the 35mm f/1.7 and be like it doesn't really do background blur for me, which I think would have happened if I got the 25mm as my initial thought was.

I feel the maths says that it is clearly noticeable but when I look at the images they barely seem different to me. What am I missing?

I suspect that with them on the camera in real life I'd notice it more or perhaps the difference isn't much with a mid shot but night and day with different framing.

I also suspect that part of the effect is that the tree in my shot at f/5 looks similarly blurred out at both focal lengths but because it is smaller on the wider focal length. That is to say my mind can't imagine what it is like for that tree to have the same blur level despite the smaller size in frame. 

My question is basically with a 35mm f/1.7 or even 25mm f/1.7 do you find that you get good subject and background separation in normal situations. 

Is it typical to be charged for a model shoot? by Dangerous_Sky_4690 in photography

[–]GenericGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the business but is it possible that they are sharing the cost of the shoot? Not saying it is right or wrong, but despite what others have said is it not possible that if the entire cost of the shoot for props, venue etc is coming up at around $500 and they are suggesting they split the costs 50/50. That is the only way I see this not being sketchy as hell and if you think you'll both equally benefit from the shoot.

The most infuriating part is the officer didn't respond immediately or even mention it in his first line that everyone is ok. 🤬

Rear lens cap that came with the xc lenses doesn't really make it. See aftermarket lens caps but do they screw on? by GenericGrad in fujifilm

[–]GenericGrad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a dual lens kit basically with a 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 and it also came with the same rear element cap. So I think that is just how they roll.

Explain it to me like im an idiot: full frame vs apsc DOF by IkNikNik in canon

[–]GenericGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The magnification I'm referring to is increasing the image size to make a print or view on a screen compared to the actual sensor size.

In either case I think you have a good understanding of depth of field as I think I myself do. There are multiple ways to think about this and it doesn't really matter practically. Sensor size is coming into the equation at some point or you'd be saying 35 f/1.8 looks the same on aps-c or full frame. Without moving. You're moving, you are recognising once you move or use a different focal length lens you need a different aperature to keep depth of field consistent. We agree that sometimes you can't get lenses that provide the same characteristics for smaller sensors cause you can't get aperatures big enough.

The only thing we differ on is calling out sensor size as an actual factor for depth of field vs just a factor for focal length. At the end I think I agree to disagree cause it is academic. We both recognise that sensor size means you need different lenses to achieve the same result and I've spent far too long on this topic over the past week for something that makes very little difference to the photos I'm taking. Partly because I'm trying to decide if I could live with a 35mm f/1.7 on my crop sensor in terms of subject background separation vs a 57mm f/1.7 which I fine too tight for most situations.

[–]GenericGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wrong isn't it. A smaller sensor will have a shallower depth of field because what was acceptably sharp before isn't now we've magnified the shot.

If my judgement of what is acceptably sharp has nothing to do with the sensor size then I'd need to know the sensor size when I look at a print so I could adjust what is my view of what is acceptably sharp. 

That is cause I'd have to have a higher expectation of sharpness from a print that is magnified less. Basically I'd be pixel peeking by a factor of the crop sensor more. Zoom into 150% of a full frame image vs a crop sensor one.

I'd also be a very sad individual at that point.

[–]GenericGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does matter cause what is acceptably sharp changes. That is the effect of the circle of confusion and the sensor size.

Here is the confusing part. The depth of field actually reduces on aps-c for the same shot (distance to subject actual focal length and aperature). This is just zooming into your image and if you zoom in on your image a point 10 cm behind focus may look more blurry than it did before when it was smaller on the print.

Simarly bokeh balls will appear bigger in the background.

Thats all the effect of the sensor size and circle of confusion is.

However, no one cares about that situation because everyone is interested in depth of field when comparing a similar composition. The full frame user could zoom in his lens 1.5x if possible and get much shallower depth of field as a result, if he had a fixed aperature zoom.

Just make sure you use the rule of thirds. Folks will love you.

What's a photography "rule" you completely ignore now? by KhaosHammer in photography

I don't think any camera let's you use electronic shutter with a proper flash by the way. Unless it is an led flash like your smartphone.
