Just to fuck it up I'm using a photo that was actually taken on a Wednesday but represents how weekend looks like to me. Every weekend I kind of space out. It's been the time when I forget that I'm a million miles away from home and I actually feel home. I don't feel lost, I don't feel sad, I …

They're pretty much like an endless sunset, from 7am to 4pm, then the actual sunset lasts for 5 minutes and that's it. But they have proven themselves more than ideal for lens tests and enjoyable bike rides (in spite of the cold). SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50 + Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 + Canon 5D3
I struggled for a while trying to come up with a solution for mounting baby anamorphics. Thankfully, Rapido Technology showed up and solved my issue. Here's a quick video about their clamps for anamorphic adapters! USEFUL LINKS: Get a Rapido Clamp on eBay Rapido Technology's website Watch my review …
As a fan of the horror genre, Until Dawn caught my eye months before it was actually released. One thing most horror games have in common though is the fact that they aren't actually scary - I speak from a PC gamer perspective, where you can find plenty of shooters and survival horrors that are …
I've been meaning to shoot this since I got the Rectilux, but only recently was able to get my hands on the 85mm f/1.2L II, so here it is, Halloween shot on full frame, high ISOs - it's a bit grainy - and the shallowest depth of field, with every shot at f/1.2. USEFUL LINKS: Look for a Canon EF …

No que parecia o começo do tempo de todos os tempos, dois barquinhos se conhecem na saída do cais. O dia é bonito, ensolarado, o mar é azul e sereno. Nossos dois barquinhos se preparam para suas jornadas, cada um com a tripulação ansiosa para desbravar correntes desconhecidas e passar por aventuras …
Almost an entire month late, I started to write this one right after Thanksgiving (October 12th)! For the majority of October I was relocated to a friend's apartment. Ariana was kind enough to harbor me on her couch for a little over two weeks. If you're thinking sleeping on a couch sucks, have a …
The Holy Grail of anamorphic adapters. I mean, really. Everyone wants these and they're paying top dollar for a reason. For several reasons, actually!

Ever since the first Paranormal Activity movie came out, there was an element that I really liked about it: the fact that it absorbs the viewer into a story that's told by the camera - I wrote about this a while ago, calling it Diegetic Cinematography - plus, it was a horror movie. The problem is, …
On the last (for now) installment of the DogSchidt Optiks produtcs I talk about their optical attachments (aka TRUMP 38 and 88), which make a full standard prime set with its core in the TRUMP 58. More customizing options to what was already great. I also went a little crazy on the test video …
