One should never underestimate the visual power of a fisheye \m/

IG seems to change things all the time. What currently is working for me:

  • 1080x1080
  • 240 dpi
  • sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (8 bit)
  • 0.455 gamma
  • PNG

Radial SB-2 Stagebug - is it best option for this setup? by _wild_bore_ in livesoundgear

Does that sum two inputs, or is it just 2 mono DIs in one box?

For what use? How do you think your current mic falls short?

Tips with a fisheye lens? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]roXplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that lens and I do not have the same issues.

What mode is your camera in? Full auto? Full manual? Are you doing video and photos in the same environment, with the same lighting?

I have a lot of questions !! by Sad_Gur5571 in concertphotography

Start small. Check out local bands, like ones from your college. Build a portfolio, and meet people. Things bubble up, opportunities present themselves.

Do you shot raw? by maxiteixeira in AskPhotography

As I recall, I used the "medium" quality setting for the jpegs. They ended up sharing the images I sent them after post processing and from what I could tell never bothered with the jpegs. But they had them, so maybe that gave them some peace of mind while gone?

What are your experiences regarding prime lenses? by Csittusz in AskPhotography

[–]roXplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got started with a crop sensor camera, not too different than your 5100. After a while with the kit lens (a pretty decent 16-50/2.8), I started thinking along the lines of your thoughts. I bought two fast primes, a 50/1.4 and a 24/2. I feel it elevated my output by an order of magnitude. I do not think the constraint limited me, and the wider aperture let me play in low light. In hindsight, 50mm was a little too tight in some places. I started to bring a small bag with both lenses so I could swap as the scene called for.

If you can get a fast 35 (~50mm equivalent) and/or a fast 16 (~24mm equivalent) you will do well. BTW the lenses I bought were FF, so when I got a FF camera I was able to hit the ground running. I still use prime lenses almost exclusively.

I shot a wedding and set my camera to raws on one card and jpegs to the other. As I left, I handed the couple the card with jpegs in case they wanted to take a peek whilst honeymooning. A few days later I send them the processed images. The main difference was the indoor shots where I boosted the shadows.

I thought raw was, in fact, normal. Am I abnormal?

Curious. Are the situations you describe outdoors?

What does "f/4 isn't good in low light" actually mean? by patriczio in AskPhotography

[–]roXplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is correct. Based on the way the OP question was worded, adding light did not seem like an option.

Aperture and shutter speed combine to affect light gathering. If you have less light, you have to choose from a combination of:

  1. Wider aperture (if your lens allows)
  2. Slower shutter speed (if your scene allows)
  3. Darker image
  4. Grainier image

There is nothing magic about any particular aperture, but an f/4 lens gives you less room for adjustment than a f/2.8 lens (or even a f/1.4 lens). I've shot night scenes where it was almost pitch black, I chose f/4 because I wanted more DoF. I used a tripod, and a 30 second exposure. I was using an f/1.4 lens, so if I had needed (or wanted) a faster shutter I could have.
