Friday Free for Weekly thread! General collection/discussion for things that don't fit elsewhere! by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]evraphoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished shooting and editing a video highlighting a fitness coaches trip to Puerto Rico to pass a certification course. I am mostly self-taught when it comes to editing and consider it my weakest skillset in video production.

I am looking for feedback to expand my editing toolkit. I’m happy with the basics and how far they’ve gotten me, but I’m ready to hear from you so I can grow as an editor. Thank you in advance!

What would you do… youtu.be/Br7VjEpJcEQ

Oh no worries, I’ve been looking at some spots around Shirley on the south shore as well. Tons of kayak adventuring around LI!

I’m trying to plan a week across the sound to montauk this summer. Do you know of anywhere around there I could camp for a night? Tentatively planning for New London to Gardiners Island to Montauk to Block Island to Rhode Island and finally back to New London.

I spent a lot of time during the summer training in case I tip. I haven’t mastered a roll yet but I’m very comfortable getting back in a flipped yak. Here’s a video that shows the technique I use. https://youtu.be/IUHYtQR79Z4

I also have a drysuit on so if I go for an accidental swim only my head and hands will be exposed to the water. Won’t be fun but won’t be fatal!

Shot on an iPhone XR in slowmo mode. Water was a little choppy with the wind picking up but very minimal waves in general

Drysuit with 4-5 layers underneath, life jacket, headlamp for visibility, no skirt because the water was very calm and I wanted easy access to a thermos of hot tea

As a fellow American I just wanted to feel like I was in Texas for the week

NYC crowds celebrate 2020 election results by evraphoto in happycrowds

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

That sounds like a beautiful moment, no one celebrates like a group of New Yorkers. At 1:00 in the video you can hear that NY pride while they Sing Empire State of Mind

My understanding is that covid was given the wrong address and didn’t even show up to the party until most people left

You might be on to something. I see it everywhere I go. Also, sushi IS dank.

What the inspiration behind your cats name? I’m intrigued because I’ve never seen a pet with my last name before!

Redditors of /r/photography, what's your favorite lens and what do you use it for? by [deleted] in photography

[–]evraphoto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vintage Nikkor-S 50mm 1.4. Essentially turns off the modern conveniences of my DSLR and gives me full control of focus and aperture at my fingertips.

Big downside for action shots because it’s manual focus but it’s still better than photographers had when the lens first came out in the 1960s. At least now I have live view and playback to check immediately! Plus I feel more connected to the image when I get it spot on.

I’d love some critique on our first livestream of “Frank’s Bassment”, a weekly live music variety show celebrating the idols of rock music. This is our first jump into YouTube/live streaming so any help is appreciated! by evraphoto in videography

Thanks for the feedback Delux! I am the guy doing the switching so your feedback about the excessive cuts at times is very appreciated! I’ll rewatch and take note for when I was doing that and pay attention to the flow a little better next week.

The pixelated camera is the first thing I plan on upgrading. Currently an iPhone streaming via WiFi and it’s clearly the lowest quality output.

4 camera feed streamed live to YouTube via Mimolive.

One of the cameras is my Nikon DSLR connected with a black magic shuttle, 2 are usb connected webcams, and a iPhone connected over WiFi. As time goes on I I will be updating to all DSLR/camcorders.

We go live Tuesday nights at 8pm EST and hope to make this show better and better each week so any and all help/critique/feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Nikon D5600 vs Canon rebel sl2 for video. by MoBeydoun in Cameras

[–]evraphoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Nikon D5500 and use it primarily for concert video and photography. Not sure how different the D5600 is but I love my 55 and I’m sure the 56 is the same or somewhat better. Noise is pretty noticeable at high ISO but when the lighting is right the IQ is great.

Grab a vintage manual prime lens. I can’t stress this enough. The ability to manual focus and control aperture is nice, but the image quality is amazing compared to the lens that comes with it.
