EOS Bodies / Will Canon release a Pocket BMCC competitor?

« on: April 08, 2013, 11:17:23 PM »

I think it's a amazing that Black Magic released such a camera and I have been looking to upgrade to something that shoots raw for my real estate work. The sensor is s16, but I'm sure I could find an affordable lens to get wide enough. This really sounds perfect for my RE work. I would be happy to pay Canon more for a competitor maybe even with a slightly larger sensor. Body size is not an issue to me for the most part. It's just the specs I want. And SD Cards! Affordable media. Any thoughts on Canon?

« on: March 13, 2013, 04:31:49 PM »

Check it out! This is raw --> converted to jpg --> downsized to 3MP. No editing in the shot. Let me know what you think.

I got home after a wedding and it was super foggy. This is the shot I got of a light shinning off my house through the fog last night at 11pm.

EOS Bodies - For Video / Help deciding between BMCC and C100 for RE Listing Videos

« on: March 06, 2013, 11:41:46 PM »

I am currently using my 5D mkIII for all my video work, and I love it. But, I want better images. I love DSLRs for my weddings and they treat me well, but for things where I need only a single camera and have more time to figure out and setup my shots, I need something sharper, some more DR, and something more gradable. Wondering how much the RAW will benefit me from the BMCC vs the ease of use of the C100.

The issue is more with my Real Estate Listing video when I have many shots where I will be needing to shoot interiors but still want to see out the window to the ocean.

BMCC Pros:
RAW - More DR
2.5K - Downgrade to HD for a nicer HD image

C100 Pros
Fewer Components needed - Don't need extra battery pack etc..
Smaller file sizes and Cheaper Media
Much Better Ergonomics

I like everything about the C100 better than the BMCC, but, the BMCC can shoot raw. Will I notice the extra stop of DR when I am pulling down the highlights and bringing up the shadows for the high DR shots? (shooting interiors looking out a window)

I imagine the price of the two cameras would pretty much even out when you consider the cost of SSD drives, extra batteries for BMCC, and more hard drive space on the computer.

What do you think? worth the extra stop of DR and RAW Codec?

Video & Movie / Independent Film: Compost - 5D mkIII

Compost
http://www.stockhammedia.com/2013/02/22/2152/

I learned the reason, yesterday, why a pile mulch begins to "steam" after sitting a few days. It's the process of becoming compost =-) so since I've produced the video "Mulch" I had no choice but to produce a new video called "Compost" which is simply focusing on the vapor rising from the compost as bacteria slowly converts it to a substance that is great for spreading on your flowers =-)

Deputy Shooting Leucadia, Encinitas, San Diego, California	Small | Large

I just walked outside of my house and notice a lot of commotion on the freeway nearby and  I would say about 20 cop cars passed by in the period of 3 minutes. Apparently 2 deputies were shot and swat team was called in. This is the footage I got.

5D MK III Sample Images / Single raw real estate photos

« on: January 19, 2013, 02:56:46 PM »

This was a cheaper job I did and instead of the standard 5 shot bracket fused together with LR/Enfuse, these just single raw shots edited in LR. Let me know what you think =-)

Video & Movie / Marriage Proposal Video

« on: December 29, 2012, 07:05:44 PM »

This was a beautiful night to shoot a proposal at Sea Port Village in San Diego CA. Check it out and let me know what you think. There were a lot of things I would change and would have done differently while shooting, but there is very little time to plan for something like this, especially since we kept getting moved around by the security guard which messed up the whole original plan! Anyway check it out! I did record this music as well.

EOS Bodies / New crop bodies coming!

« on: November 08, 2012, 03:47:15 AM »

I just heard that we will be seeing a new 70D and 7D mkII!!!
 Here is the timeline I was told

present:
The 7D and 60D will remain current

year 2015 still current

year 2018 new sensor tech announced

year 2025 70D and 7D mkII  receive a long awaited upgrade and have digic VI processors and an 18MP  hybrid sensor with phase AF for continuos focus in video mode! Also, the power of the new processor will enable 1 full stop better high iso when shooting jpeg.

 

seems about right to me...
