A Girl and a Cannon

[Rakesh Malik]

Some pictures I shot this afternoon, experimenting with the stills mode on my Epic-W.

Nice!

Pretty much exactly as described by the title. Don't know why I was surprised. Just so literal, I guess : )
Pretty.

 

[Rakesh Malik]

Thanks!

I admit, titles aren't my strong suit.

I was experimenting with stills using my Epic-W because it would enable me to consolidate down to a single set of lenses for travel and adventure photography... I used to carry a 4x5 with three lenses, a changing bag (etc) plus a digital SLR, and that was a bear. I want to get down to just one kit.

I thought I was going to see a Canon camera or something. So what did you narrow your choices to?

 

[Rakesh Malik]

I've been using Sony cameras for qutie a while now, currently an a7r for still photos. After seeing what Helium can do though, I'm consolidating to my Epic-W once I save up enough to invest in another mount and some more portable lenses. CP.2 lenses are nice, but they're a bit bulky for trekking.

There is still a beauty to film... in terms of your specific situation.

 

[Rakesh Malik]

Yes, there is. I do miss shooting with 4x5, but I haven't been using it... mainly because it's too much to carry both a 4x5 and a cinema camera on an expedition.

Besides, a view camera in a 40 mile an hour gale on a mountaintop doesn't work particularly well.
