Ruby shoots Nike...

[Evin Grant]

Did my first "real" shoot with the Ruby 14-24mm yesterday for Nike...

I'm really becoming fond of this lens! Especially the flare characteristics, because of the full frame (24x36mm) coverage light sources outside the sensor area have a tendency to flare into frame is a spectacular, almost anamorphic way...

(Frame grab from RA w/slight toe crush)


I saw Star Treak the night before the shoot so I was a bit inspired to use the flares. It's easily controllable with an eyebrow but I chose to go with it and I'm really happy with the look.

We also had a fun 80' running/tracking dolly shot with some well known NFL stars I can't show or name for obvious reasons, but here's a fun BTS vid..

the bokeh looks a bit funney of those two people in the frame grab... that's the first thing i thought, haha

j/k.

Woohoo, looks like a tonne of fun! I was out on the water this morning shooting dragon boats on red for the new 'run for the cure' spot, it performed beautifully as always.

Can't wait to see your spot when it's done. The lens looks great BTW.

Thanks for the Ruby frame grab. Stuart's getting lots of great feedback but I'm sure he'd prefer it if everyone put their deposit money down.

 

[Jamon Lewis]

That looks serious

That looks like photoshop to me, just look at the shadow ... maybe because of legal reasons the figures where blurred?

Of course it was blurred. Read the post.

Evin do you need a 6x6 MB for the wide end of this lens?

No, the 4x5 worked fine but it was close. I will probably go clip on or 6x6 for Epic 5K.

 

[J Davis]

easy easy jonnycom, I was merely pointing this out to someone else – my post was a response.

The dolly run looked fun BTW, that was some speed

 

[Matt Uhry]

Looks like a fun shoot - thanks for sharing !

Some small shaved head in the end of the vid tells me it's... Robinho?

But you said NFL stars... So I'm a little off in my guess. hehe

I hate to be a novice here but what is a "toe crush" as Evin describes on the frame grab?

Thanks, KO

 

[Evin Grant]

The toe is the lower shadow portion of a characteristic (Gamma) curve.

My friend worked on this lens. It is a very sweet lens. More is in the pipeline. So expect more from some very talented lens makers. I love the name "Ruby Series". Nice.
