the peerfect audience 😄

Only these one? 🤣

Never tried myself but there are a lot of resources out there that probably you already saw, I guess. Is it a Mediterranean Cerianthus membranaceus? Did you see the incredible video from Marcelo Johan Ogata?

Out of curiosity, what's new in version 2?

Nando, Do we really need all these... gimmick? Videography is much easier, believe me. Think about a story and try to tell it to your audience in the most simple way.

Welcome aboard. Terrific name 😄

Hi Grace, Welcome aboard! I know there are other members from Vancouver Island, just click/tap on the Canadian flag near your name in this thread and you should see a list of Canadian people. Then you could discover more about them from their introduction message 😉 For photos upload, just choose Gallery from the main menu, add images, then choose the category... It's pretty straightforward. For best results, just give a look to my pinned post about image sizing tutorial. Ciao from Italy

Welcome aboard! Let us know how you find yourself in the mirrorless journey

Of course, the closure of a company is always bad news. For the loss of jobs, knowledge and less competition. In this particular case, certainly economic factors such as labor costs, duties and so on were also influential, but I think there was basically an underlying lack of innovation. 15 years ago I had a couple of their lights and the current models were basically the same. As the competition moved on, their switches and charging system were identical and were already clearly their Achilles' heel 15 years ago.

Thanks Bill, is exactly what I've done using a step up ring 67-82 mm and then printing a ring as support for the distance reference arm.

Hi Brightsea, welcome aboard!

Great color correction

My G.A.S. whispers to me to sell the WWL-1B and buy an 8-18mm with 180mm crystal dome but I know well that as my signature reads: your new gear will not make you produce any better art than you already do Actually the only thing I am asking for in 2025 is time, time to do all the things I want to do. Free time is the most precious thing. Happy New Year to you all!

I'm 100% with you. On my video shots I'm looking for shadows, shadows, shadows!

So what's the best material for direct sun exposure?

Wow! Being the first time, you got better results that most of BW video I saw out there 🙂

Thanks Maria 😊

Welcome aboard Simon! Glad you find us again in our new home.

Cold resolutions 🥶

I choked on my Campari 🤣

Our community has just turned one year old, and in a few days we will be in 2025. I imagine many of us are already thinking about what to do next year. New year and new Gear Acquisition Syndrome 😉 What are your New Year's resolutions? New camera? Does your faithful DSRL look sad at you because it senses a mirroless behind the door? A new housing or a nice pair of strobes , given the many new features in recent months? Or no gear but will you stress your credit card with trips to remote places, maybe a photography workshop or pursue something new? In short, whatever your resolutions I wish you a new year full of excitement!

Please, just drop a link to the file. We have limited storage on our server 😇

Hi Maria, great article. For the video, I know that with Insta360 (actually with all 360° cameras) you shoot everything and then reframing in post. In this case it would be possible to use lights but of course you reduce the possibilities of reframing. Areas with lights should be eliminated. I have seen deep shots of the Mediterranean and the operator was using lights. In that particular case the shots were left at 360 degrees to be viewed with a special viewer. The result was that the arms with lights were visible, Not great to be honest.

One should have the patience to study the manuals of Sony cameras dedicated to video: FX3 and its APSC sibling FX30 to see if these restrictions apply to them as well 📜

Many thanks to @Bio, his clips are perfect in both FOV and the colors in Log have excellent color correction possibilities. The camera is not skipping any frames: the effect is due to the frog kick. I am familiar with the effect. On a side note, DJI is evil: according to their insane mind, WIDE has a narrower FOV than STANDARD. There should be a special hell circle for them, next to the one for those who decide on camera and lens names 😈
