MoogleViper Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 taken using the Brenizer Method. So... she was close to you, but the method makes it look like she was far away?
bob Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I think it just means you can play around with the focal point while using a crappy camera, right? So you can have stuff in focus and other stuff blurred, but while using a camera which has an unchangeable depth of field?
Goafer Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) So... she was close to you, but the method makes it look like she was far away? Sort of. She wasn't that close (maybe about 15 or so metres). I think it just means you can play around with the focal point while using a crappy camera, right? So you can have stuff in focus and other stuff blurred, but while using a camera which has an unchangeable depth of field? Sort of. It's not so much using a crappy camera to imitate an expensive one, it's more using any camera, good or bad, to imitate a very expensive one (medium format). In very crude terms, from crappiest to most expensive (and also physical sensor size) you have: Entry level DSLR (£500 - £1000) < Full Frame DSLR (£1500 - £4000) < Medium Format (£15,000 upwards) Medium format cameras have a certain look to them, since their sensor is so large (not as in megapixels, as in actual physical size). The bigger the sensor, the shallower depth of field you can get. Obviously, you can't make your cameras sensor physically bigger, so you can cheat. If you zoom whilst taking a photo, the depth of field becomes shallower. So instead of taking one photo, you can take multiple ones (in this case 30 or so) at full zoom, then stitching them together to give a much shallower depth of field than you could normally achieve with your camera in a single photo. If you use a full frame DSRL, you can mimic the look of medium format. Basically, the whole thing is about getting a shallower depth of field than your camera can normally take, therefore imitating a medium format camera, which most professionals can't even afford.

Ellmeister Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I've seen quite a few zip effects this year. Is it a new thing?
Serebii Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Got a couple new Joe pics. Yes I look tired in them, that's what happens when you haven't slept since September
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Took @Goafer's costume idea and stole it.
bob Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Theme was 'Fire', @Ramar chose my costume idea. Bit crappy but i didn't have much time to make it better...
Goafer Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Surprised ReZ hasn't posted his photos from Extra Life. My personal favourite, which I have titled "Err lerrk MerrkDerrnerrlds":

FalcoLombardi Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Me at my roommates going away party: And yes, that's Mario Kart 64 being projected on the wall. Also, long time no see.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 So far only a poor quality picture of a picture, but that's not the important part.
