this was the absolute peak of digital photography and its all been downhill after here. seriously look at the shots on flickr with this tag and how good they look. mirrorless is super sterile and fake looking, and older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise.
seriously dont sleep on these, 5d mkii and some EF L glass has u covered and then u can spend the rest of the money on travel and taking kino shots.

I have an upcoming portrait session and I want to use a key light and then have a rim light like in this photo.
What ratio should the rim light be compared to the key to get this look?
Also I cannot believe how bad google search is these days, all I can find is completely wrong information. Didn't use to be like this.
Literally impossible to just find a good article showing diff ratios of rimlight on people.
I can test at home on myself obviously but I have black hair and the model will have blonde hair so its risky.
Surely this is known information taking into account its just basic fundamental 3 point lighting information.

I put it to you that photographs of people walking parallel to a wall in long light (or silhouette) is the most played out trend in street photography. Once you notice it, it is fucking everywhere. And it's not even very good. It doesn't actually require all that much skill. And yet it wins awards all the damn time. It doesn't actually communicate anything, it's just "LMAO look, that person looks like they are interacting with the scenery a bit". What's the fucking point.
Some examples.

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

Quick FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?
The blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, or the Panasonic gh5 (can pick one up for like 500 bucks atm)
>what’s a good beginner video camera?
Anything that works, shoots at least 1080p and preferably has interchangeable lenses. Any recommendation beyond that will cause arguments so read the fucking sticky if that isn't satisfactory.
>What's a good sound solution that won't break the bank?
Zoom h1
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?
Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?
No
>Do I need 4k?
No. 1080 looks great on a cinema screen. 4k looks better.
>Can someone tell me if my video is any good?
Yes, but be prepared to receive harsh criticism. If you're going to waste 5 minutes of our time with a shitty out-of-focus montage of nothing then we'll tell you that it's crap
>Is it okay to dox myself?
...Personally I wouldn't but what do I know?
