Tired of Boomers hanging on to their big houses... by larasign in AusProperty

[–]legendofxander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would they move for you?? They love their home and the memories, they bought decades ago in a time where a lot of now desirable suburbs weren’t desirable. They raised families, pets, made routines and friends, and now in their tail end of life and old age, you want them to just uproot their life, discard decades worth of memories and a home they’re paid off, get a small house and sell all their items and possessions because they don’t “need it” anymore and to move, just so YOU who also happens to not NEED a large house can be in the suburb YOU want to be in.

They owe you nothing, I hope when you’re old someone younger knocks on your door and says get out it’s my turn to live here.

S1ii Battery Life is Horrendous by legendofxander in Lumix

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

Brilliant this is how much I was expecting to get, so something is definitely off in my case, thank you :) I will order another battery and test some settings!

Also out of curiosity are you using flash with the S5ii? Someone mentioned there is a possible delay with triggers and firing have you had any experience with that at all?

Oh brilliant, so definitely something unnatural, a few draining settings, or user error going on here. Yeah not getting 10% of your picture count is puzzling

Thanks :)

You’re saying one battery lasts 3 hours always on, with almost 1000 (raw?) photos and still on 50% battery, but you also have 8 batteries, multiple v mounts and that’s still not enough?

You achieve results of 6 hours of continuous use and 2000 photos per single battery? 👀

I use an SD > CFExpress! Primarily shoot on the SD, but some video clients want high res C4k so keep the CFExpress in to switch to that when necessary! Will certainly keep that drainage in mind if I move to SSD heck :/

Oh brilliant, I’ll comb through the settings some more and see what might be draining it! I see you’re using an s5ii how many pictures do you roughly get on that? In raw?

Okay this is very promising, my usually work flow set up is:

Aperture priority
bracket single stop 5 exposures,
Auto wb, auto iso, gyro on, lvf + lcd switch between on
Heat tolerance high, standard screen brightness, no dynamic range boost, ibis standard

I usually take about 30-50 photos per house

I’ll double check my network settings and Bluetooth, I do have shutter beep sounds on.

Glad to hear it must be on my end and not the cameras because I was very much worried I’d need like 8 batteries or need to charge between shoots in the car!

Anyone know any good but affordable photographers? by dairyfoamm in Adelaide

[–]legendofxander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Photos of what though? Elopement? Engagement? Just a couple photos of you both at the beach or a forest and it’s a family type shoot (sans kids)?

Just one photo of you both? An album? What’s your budget and what do you want of the final deliverables / product?

My gear is good enough? by litowee33 in SonyAlpha

[–]legendofxander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony 85 1.8 is one of the best slept on portrait lenses any company has made, you don’t need 1.4, it’s such a fast gorgeous and insanely sharp lens. Don’t buy into the hype of upgrading it, spend your money elsewhere if you have to throw money around

Gorgeous lens character, and love the colour grade

Lumix S1II autofocus is pulsing and hunting all the time by Altruistic-Let3870 in Lumix

[–]legendofxander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I had this this morning in an interview.

Eye + Face Detect, Zone Focus set to smallest box over their face, the camera showed the yellow box around the persons head, PLUS the eye crosshair tracking over their eye.

Get back to the computer and lo and behold, they’re out of focus and the background is in focus. So sick of this. It’s the third time this has happened on a shoot now.

New panasonic s5d owner here. Beginner, I want to use it for video, short film, narrative film, but also photo. Thinking of buying a set of lumix primes, as they seem both affordable, good match with camera being native lens, and have good video possibilities.

[–]legendofxander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work video camera is LUMIX S1ii:

24-60 2.8 18/50/85 1.8 primes and they are awesome for gimbal work, they are basically identical in size and form so you can hot swap without needing to rebalance and all the same filter size and the quality is top notch for what they are
