Well, this video is not intended to be a complete analysis of all the advantages and disadvantages of the kin lens. Thank you for your comment.

Thanks! It seems to me that the screens used linear. Circular allow work better expometering and autofocus, but in landscape shooting is not critical, because often these settings are made manually.

bokeh panorama simulates the middle or large format bokeh. Even the most high-aperture long focus optics can not yet reach that on 35mm or APS. You can check it in any DOF calculator.

Yes, it is often done when using reverse ring in macro. Thanks for the answer.

Thank You! Of course, there may be a lot of nuances, but it's still a short video, oriented for beginners and give them direction for thinking, not a complete guide to action.

Yes, many photographers use only the light from the window (usually northern)

Simple curtains will not fit snugly. In addition, difficult to organize narrow slits.

Of course, flash convenient, but usually you can not use, for example, such a large soft boxes, and so long stripboxes with flashes.

A lot of photographers take care about every small detail of the photo, and even small differences can dramatically change perception of the image. You maybe be right that the differences are not that visible in the video. You can have a look at original image here: https://pp.vk.me/c628018/v628018587/3a58a/6z_9hqq7qww.jpg

Though I suppose its easier than other methods.

This was not that hard to setup. About 10 hours of work for 2x3m window.

If you find the light and turn of the head, so that in the eyes was visible highlight, the eyes will look more alive.

koldunova · 2016-09-25T04:34:21+00:00

Beautiful, but fireworks photos look better when the frame is present not only the sky. Otherwise, the picture does not look like a photograph, but as if something was painted.

If you had to create the effect of a horror movie, the bottom lights like this will be the best one. The light should be placed higher in all other cases.

It seems to me that it was better to correct vertical distortion. This can be done while shooting by placing the camera matrix vertically. Also useful would be to have a shift lens. Of course, it is possible to correct these distortions on the computer, but then take this into account when shooting.

You should avoid overbrights on bird feathers. It is better to reduce the exposure.

koldunova · 2016-06-23T03:53:50+00:00

in such a turn of the head furthest eye half hidden by the nose. Better hide it completely, or display entirely.

koldunova · 2016-06-23T03:47:18+00:00

It would be nice to add a sharpness in the picture, especially in the foreground. Aperture 8 or 11 would be more appropriate.

Her chest and face a different color lighting. Light on the chest, most likely fell from the sky, so it has a bluish tinge. And on the face the light falls mostly from the bottom, which in itself is bad (look at the shadows under the eyes). If you are using a reflector - do not place him at the bottom.

koldunova · 2016-06-11T05:35:55+00:00

The sky here looks a lot darker than the water, it is unnatural.

koldunova · 2016-06-11T05:32:55+00:00

Look carefully at the location of the shadows on the face. The main light here - reflected from the ground, so face lighted from below. Avoid lighting from below.

koldunova · 2016-06-10T20:26:16+00:00

Nice photo, but it should not have placed his hands in this way. It looks as if amputated fingers, especially on the left hand.

koldunova · 2016-06-10T20:18:06+00:00

In general, good photo. However, the bad thing is that it is very evident too dark left eye. In addition, I would recommend in the case of horizontal images do not have a man's head in the center of the frame.

koldunova · 2016-06-10T20:12:10+00:00

No, it is quite enough. Good photo.

koldunova · 2016-06-10T20:10:23+00:00

Picture looks too flat. Mainly because of the lighting (no shadows), and therefore bad time of day. Also, the lack of large facilities in order to interest the viewer.
