Nikon Z9 - The Un-Review Vistek 2021-12-13 | The Nikon Z9 is being celebrated as a big leap for the brand, and many independent reviews favour this new release.

How does the BS1H compare to the Varicam, S1H, & EVA-1? Vistek 2021-10-07 | The full-frame, box-style Panasonic LUMIX BS1H is the camera you get when you combine the LUMIX S1H and the original LUMIX BGH1 MFT box-style camera. The question is, does this mean the BS1H is inching even closer to that of the Varicam in both colour and functionality? We took this opportunity to see where this camera lands in comparison with the rest of their cinema line.Special thanks to Cinematographer Carissa Dorson (embarrassingly, I mis-pronounced her name in the shout out as Carissa Dobson) for sharing her experience with me in respect to all these Panasonic cameras.

Exhaustion to Inspiration: Overcoming creative burnout Vistek 2021-08-18 | If you've been an image maker of any type for long enough, you'll have certainly experienced burnout, creative troughs, or just this anxious feeling of being overwhelmed. When this happens to us, there is usually a strong sense of hopelessness and thoughts of walking away from it all begin to be pervasive. In this special feature video, we take a photo road trip though rural southern Ontario and discuss what to do when you feel like you can't do it any more.__________________For more information on Vistek Rentals (if you live in Ontario or Alberta), please visit: vistek.ca/rentals#lifeadvice #photography #filmmaking

Truth about sensor formats | with Michael Clark & GFX 100S Vistek 2021-07-07 | Bigger isn't always better. No more than a Ferrari is the best car for picking up supplies at the hardware store. There continues to be a great deal of rhetoric online that centres around the mega pixel race. Want to know the difference between big and small sensors?We put the 102 mp GFX 100S to the test alongside a 61mp Full Frame camera, and a 26 mp APS-C. We tested and explored the practical differences along with a very in-depth conversation with Michael Clark - one of America's most trusted adventure and commercial photographers. One caveat, is that due to length some information has been omitted. One example was exploring the latitude between the 16 bit & 14 bit files. I wasn't satisfied with the results - feeling like I really needed a professional retoucher to guide me through it. It's also worth mentioning that "16 bit" isn't true 16 bit. It's 15.4 and rounded up. Which may also be the reason we don't see as big of a change as we'd like. Ultimately I believe that it is the cleanliness of the image (minimal shot noise) and the lenses that give MF it's look above any other factor.**Error correction/Notice. The Sony image at 9:30 is actually the GFX 100s image (you can see that it's identical to the GFX image). This was likely caused due to a file naming issue and I didn't catch it in the edit. My apologies for the error._________________________Big Thank you to Michael Clark for being part of this video: www.michaelclarkphoto.comCamera's used or referenced in this video:The Fujifilm GFX 100S at Vistek:vistek.ca/store/443340/fujifilm-gfx-100s-large-format-mirrorless-body-no-lens-102-mpSony A7RIV at Vistek: vistek.ca/store/445622/sony-alpha-a7riv-a-mirrorless-bodyFujiFilm X-T3/X-T4 at Vistek: vistek.ca/store/427088/fujifilm-xt3-mirrorless-body-blackvistek.ca/store/439010/fujifilm-xt4-mirrorless-body-blackNikon Z6ii at Vistek: vistek.ca/store/441519/nikon-z6ii-mirrorless-bodyNikon Z7ii at Vistek: vistek.ca/store/441522/nikon-z7ii-mirrorless-body#MediumFormat #FullFrame #APS-C

There were many instances where I feel I did not have enough time with the cameras, and would have preferred to run these tests a few more times. I spent approximately three weeks with these cameras, running the tests several times over.Some notes on certain sections:REC. 709The intent here is to show the image quality for quick turnaround videos. I chose the most cinematic version of 709 in the cases that multiple versions were available. I intentionally did not explore HLG or REC.2020 profiles.4K RESOLUTIONSome will argue with me that some creators are delivering to 6K, but they are almost certainly in the minority. A camera that gives you a good amount of detail but doesn’t feel over sharpened or “very video” is the goal. Which is how a 4K camera can compete with a 6K camera. 6K will undoubtedly give you more flexibility to reframe but may come at the cost of eating up media storage or computer CPU.LOW LIGHT / HIGH ISOIn most cases with noisy images, applying noise reduction can have an astounding positive effect. The goal here was to show you how to get the cleanest image with the least amount of work. AUTO FOCUSThis is one of the cases where I felt like I would have liked to have done this test over. Focus settings are key to getting the AF to work at its best. Settings need to be matched to the subject’s movement and the operator’s desired effect. Especially in the case of the Z Cam & the C70, I know I could have gotten them to perform much better if I had more time.#camerashootout #review #headtohead

Since then, Irene has been captivated and inspired by feminine beauty, using the camera to capture her subjects in a more creative, romantic manner. Preferring to keep full creative control over her photoshoots, Irene often multitasks, taking on the role of stylist or creative director and sometimes acts as makeup and hair artist as well.While the subject is always the focus of her images, Irene also puts a lot of thought into the environment and details of the photo, not striving for realism, but rather a visually pleasing and feminine version of the finished product. With the goal of inspiring others, Irene created a Youtube channel to share her creative projects and help other photographers, by sharing tutorials, behind the scenes and DIY videos that demonstrate how to use simple techniques, simple setups and natural light to create beautiful images.You can find more of Irene's work on Instagram (instagram.com/irenerudnykphoto) or by visiting her YouTube Channel (youtube.com/c/IreneRudnyk)
