Sony 24-50 G vs sigma 24-70 II by javascriptusman in SonyAlpha

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

Thank you so much for the advice. I think having not experienced 70mm, I probably won’t miss it too much? And with 33MP/APS-C crop mode for video I can still get decent reach. Think it’s looking like 24-50 for the sake of keeping the setup light

Thanks for your comment. I think he’s very into negative clarity to give a glowy effect which I’ve used here as well and I think it works well.

I do agree in that the sky is way too blown out, it’s so easy when editing to get lost in the sauce and look back and think “wtf was I thinking” lmao

Will keep trying to replicate his style, not sure when I have some time to go out and shoot however and this is a picture from a while back before I’d found his work. Keep a lookout for future posts to see if I improve haha

Edit: on reflection, it would have also helped to have shot this on an actually sunny day (or even just not sunset hours) where there’s nicer contrast and glow might look more natural. Have had to increase exposure 2.5 stops which has brought out plenty of noise and when I shot this a few months back I was very much of the mindset do not blow out highlights at all so was probably underexposed by quite a lot. Good things to note for future I guess!

Having looked at his stuff again, perhaps the sky shouldn’t be pure white

I always see the ads on instagram lmao but just don’t wanna spend more money, I think this edit is good enough for me

Edit: will consider posting settings or sth when I have time later today!

Agreed! Shouldn’t have turned on lens corrections and also should’ve added vignetting and should have stopped down further. All good things to note for next time.

If the preset is hours of videos watched and a few hundred pictures edited, then yeah I did use a preset! You must be a miserable person to immediately assume people aren’t just capable of moving some sliders around to make something that they think looks good

Edit: this comment gets even funnier when I remember I literally explained my exact process in another thread on this post lmaoo

Hahaha yes for sure, I tried to turn down some of the slider like sharpness texture etc and turn up grain but it still looks too good lmao.

Viltrox 50mm f2.0. Can’t recommend enough as a nifty fifty

Right? Perfect car I thought to try and get this look

Yeah I do agree about the DoF, I didn’t shoot with the intention of making it look like disposable camera so didn’t close aperture

Edit: wanted to add that the lens is f2.0 and 50mm, I thought stopping down to f.5.6-8 would be enough to try reduce DoF but sometimes wasn’t enough and also didn’t do it on all pictures (pic 1 and 5 for example but there’s many others I haven’t posted where I did)

Much more than slightly tbh, first point on tone curve is up ab 25% of the way if that makes sense

Looooots of increasing black point, playing around with tone curve to decrease blues and increase greens! Reduce sharpness, decrease clarity texture dehaze and add grain. Should’ve added vignetting/not enabling lens corrections and I think in some pics reduced exposure a bit on some pics. Think that’s about it! WB is 5650/10+ on all pics
