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.
Since I'm unlikely to ever get any kind of Xpan camera, I thought it might be interesting to post some wide crops from two cheap digicams and a phone (Fuijfilm J20, JX500 and Nokia Lumia 520) taken over the last few years. The JX500 has a scratched lens but nice colours and I think it does OK.
Was looking for a photo of my cat and found this on my phone. It says it was an airdrop photo but I don’t remember if I accepted an airdrop recently. I have depression which can affect the brain’s memories so maybe that’s it? It is kinda creepy so I thought I’d post it here.
This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera.
Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good.
Anyone remembers hiddenlol? The good old days of actually funny memes and post? Raptor22? Anon90? Is there a website like this in existence or something close to it? Thanks!
