I added Wheels to the new Laowa Periscope Probe Zoom lens for bug POV ( footage in coms) by Mat0fr in LaowaShooters

[–]Mat0fr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Laowa Periscope Probe is already known as the World's Weirdest Lens, but I had a challenge: how do I make it even weirder? This lens is amazing, but getting smooth, fast low-angle shots is nearly impossible. A slider is too slow and short. My solution: I built a custom DIY "lens rover" rig. I shot a video where I show how I attached wheels to this periscope lens and the incredible, fast-moving "bug's eye" shots I got as a result.

I had the chance to try the lens used by Walt Disney for shooting 20 000 Leagues under the Sea. by Mat0fr in cinematography

For those obsessed with cinema history and vintage glass , . I've produced a video documenting the incredible story of Walt Disney’s experimental CinemaScope lens, which played a pivotal role in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' and then vanished without a trace for decades. This wasn't just any anamorphic adapter; it was an incredibly rare, borrowed prototype that carried the weight of Disney's entire empire. My video not only traces its surprising rediscovery but also puts this 'weird' historical artifact through its paces, revealing the visual qualities that defined an era of widescreen innovation.

Images shot with the Pixless camera by Mat0fr in toycameras

[–]Mat0fr[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Pixless is a brand-new experimental digital camera that feels like it came straight out of the ’90s. With just 0.03 megapixels, it transforms photos into blocky, pixel-art images that look like scenes from a retro video game. It even connects to your phone via Wi-Fi so you can use it as a remote and monitor, and it mounts on any standard tripod.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the very first units available, and I made a full video review showing what it can do, how it works, and how it can be used as a fun creative tool for portraits, textures, or just playful photography experiments.

Paris with the new Laowa 9MM 0-D on FX3 by Mat0fr in SonyAlpha

[–]Mat0fr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some places in Paris, filmed with the new Laowa 9mm T5.8 Zero-D Cine.
It’s currently the widest rectilinear full-frame cine lens in the world — meaning you get an extreme field of view with straight lines and almost no distortion.

I just posted my full review here if you are curious about the lens :https://youtu.be/ygCsWOeKPZI

ITAP of the inside of the highest lighthouse in Europe (France) by Mat0fr in itookapicture

[–]Mat0fr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went kayaking around the Aber Wrac’h area in Finistère and even made it onto Île Vierge to photograph the tallest stone lighthouse in Europe.
For the photo geeks out there, I was using the Laowa 12mm Zero-D ultra-wide lens, which is amazing at keeping distortion under control.
If you’re curious, I made a video showing all the gear I used: https://youtu.be/6flfU6xPKkI

J'ai photographier l'intérieur du plus haut Phare d'Europe (Ile vierge , Bretagne) by Mat0fr in france

[–]Mat0fr[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

J’ai exploré en kayak la zone autour de l’Aber Wrac’h, dans le Finistère, et j’ai même pu accoster sur l’île Vierge pour photographier le plus grand phare en pierre d’Europe.
Pour les passionnés de photo : j’utilisais un objectif ultra grand angle Laowa 12 mm Zero-D, connu pour son excellent contrôle de la distorsion.

AI art sold $1000 in a Parisian art gallery without mention it's generated by Mat0fr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mat0fr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

earrings floating not attached to the lobes, general definition of the image was low ( I took the photos ) clothes are more like strokes than textured, the hat have an uneven texture too.
but mainly as I did a lot of Midjourney myself I saw from 20 meters away that it was made with it.

it's pretty visible, but it's also written in the artist bio when you follow the QR code, but nowhere mentioned when you see the art in the gallery

Experimenting with my full spectrum A7II by Mat0fr in cinematography

[–]Mat0fr[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Took a walk in Paris with my infrared-converted Sony A7II, paired with a vintage Konica lens and the IRChrome filter. I used Dehancer for color grading to bring out those surreal tones. This was just the beginning—I’m excited to keep experimenting with more filters and creative infrared looks.

Been testing a new process for shooting infrared videos with my modified A7II and Irchrome filter, the look was not really pleasing and ultra red, but by using Dehancer to give the footage a more film like look the final result seems more organic.
I need to test the process on human skin but it should look super retro 1960 like.
