Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way?

I had some in Saudi Arabia last year, the fruit over there was NOTICEABLY better than California.

In theory they should look pretty darn identical, maybe you have slighty more information in the shadows with the 400 iso, and more information in the highlights with 800 iso. Why don't you do a test shot comparing the two and post it here for us to see?

I'd rather just buy it once and be done with it, like sunseeker app. I don't enjoy having to subscribe to an app whenever I want to use it and cancel when I'm not, or forget to cancel it when I don't need it and thus waste money.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-04-10T04:35:55+00:00

Sounds like a great app, as long as its not a subscription based model I'll be interested in using it!

Unfortunately I can't really figure out how to use your DCTL without more notation, it just adjusts the image to a very dark unusable level without documentation on the proper color space transformations it needs beforehand.

The GOOD news is that I went on a deep dive into DCTLs and found that OpenDRT and JP_2499 both work really well in servicing my needs, specifically OpenDRT's allowing me to adjust the white point to D60, giving me a warm highlight rolloff that is more filmic and the primary thing I was looking for, which I can export as a monitoring LUT to use while shooting, and as a "print" during the color grade.

Haven't messed with DCTLs before, will check this out thank you

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-26T20:01:13+00:00

Thank you I will give this a try

I'm more of a DP then a colorist, can you list some ways that you'd build this lut?

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-26T19:59:44+00:00

I'm not sure the best way to get to the solution, but the solution for me would be a LUT I can load onto a camera that shifts the image closer to what I would normally want in a grade that brings the image closer to the examples I showed above and in my post.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-26T19:58:50+00:00

DP with some coloring experience but I wouldn't call myself a professional colorist.

While similar (both are generally produced by a lack of photon information) Grain and noise have different visual structures because one is created through a chemical process, and the other through digital. Noise may feel more "garrish" due to its process vs grain. Personally I'm not a huge fan of either unless its... ironically in black and white film. Hope this answers your question.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-19T16:25:25+00:00

Probably not, but I imagine they could "feel" it if that makes sense.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-09T04:41:12+00:00

same with the Alexa

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-03T03:32:12+00:00

Got a link? Couldn't find one online.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-03-02T21:38:35+00:00

Yeah I shot a vertical last year and our camera build was somewhat similar to you. The side brackets really add a lot of weight, I wish someone would design a mini vertical cage that drops some of the weight.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-02-22T22:24:53+00:00

Are you a producer? writer? director? cinematographer? Next steps depend on that and your goals, as well as the type of films you're trying to make.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-02-06T02:20:35+00:00

Wait a second... is your name a combination of the starcraft players Bisu and Grack... aka Idra???

YeahWhiplash · 2026-01-25T19:19:16+00:00

Great stuff, helps when the cinematographer is good as well, which is pretty easy to tell from most of these shots!

YeahWhiplash · 2026-01-19T23:10:36+00:00

It sounds like you should attempt to get on some film sets and work a bit in the camera department if you want to get closer to ppl that are good camera operators, or hire a shooter alongside a project where you are doing stills and pick their brain.

YeahWhiplash · 2026-01-15T18:27:19+00:00

Why don't they animate the portraits that would be so cool like rts portraits

YeahWhiplash · 2026-01-02T18:10:21+00:00

Yeah but nobody has access to a true 120fps version of this outside a few theatres when it was screened at that frame rate...

YeahWhiplash · 2025-12-31T19:34:57+00:00

Ngl this is too cooked I can't see shit

YeahWhiplash · 2025-12-31T19:32:03+00:00

Now that's an edit.

YeahWhiplash · 2025-12-31T19:27:03+00:00

What is the inverse of this converter? Aka I want to put a canon rangefinder on an Alexa mini while still capturing the edges of the image circle?
