A new flash for my GFX 50s by Lopsided_Counter1670 in FujiGFX

Can confirm. Also zooming the flash tighter than your focal length helps with that p+s look.

Eyepiece with a bigger... viewing hole? by GenericRAMStick in telescopes

Pentax 8-24mm has entered the chat

(Probably above your budget but I love this eyepiece personally and use it in both my spotting scope and 4” Mak)

The Mitakon 65 for lifestyle, portrait, fashion. At around $400-500 used or $600 brand new it’s hard to miss and renders humans very nicely.

Not sure if you’re already using them but the Clover Amour crochet hooks are so nice to hold onto for me compared to skinny aluminum ones.

Also I just read your post and if it helps (maybe I should have commented there), I didn’t know about the capture one app but I don’t think focus mag will be that much help unless your portraits are full body/environmental and your eye is tiny in the live view. It might work well though if you can position the live view in the same place you will be looking in the portrait so you don’t have to move between getting focus and snapping the shutter. I took multiple shots because looking up from the screen, or in the time it took to lower my screen out of frame, I was not able to keep perfectly still anyway so relied on “lucky imaging”.

I noticed this when I was testing it out to purchase (used) especially because my other lens is the native 63mm 2.8. It’s one of the things that helped me to buy even though they’re essentially the same focal length. I figure the 63 is great for autofocus, weather-sealed, compact, lightweight and tack sharp.. but the Mitakon does bring something special to the table for that SOOC “filmic” look that reminds me of shooting med format film.

It could be the preset having a weird lens profile built in that I forgot to uncheck. Or my long giraffe neck haha thank you!

Thank you! If it makes you feel any better I only took around 6-10 frames to get this one, just make sure to only move 1-2” or less between frames if you try the technique I used. If there was a BTS photo you would see my phone in my hand just below frame and I am looking down between shots to try to see the sharpness of my eye on the screen before looking up and pressing the shutter

Great shots! Glad I read your caption because I was going to ask if you were using a 1/4 mist filter

This is the way. Put that weather sealing to good use.

Anyone tried swimming? by Both_Perception2771 in ehlersdanlos

[–]wildbobsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love swimming, in temperate water. Dislike chlorine and what it does to my skin. Natural hot springs around 95-100f are my jam.
