  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

... extended magic hour ... #dragon #berlin

I am officially in Dragon Heaven, courtesy of Mr. Ellington!

So glad to see you with a Dragon Detlev. Great shots. Hope to see you soon!

I said so in August, when you whispered about a "tracking code" and I was on the plane - actually got there before the package ...
I so love this technology, the scent of burning "competition" ...

In my book it is the best piece of imaging technology & spirit there is in the known universe.

I know, I use gear a bit different and don't care about specs and tests ... I care about the magic ...

This thread is named "extended magic hour" ... And expresses how I feel. It is the pencil that I choose to draw, I have been waiting, all my life.

Bliss. Pure love.

:-)

Uhhh. Gotta go on shooting ... See you later, family!

Detlev
 
Indeed, sick looking imagery. Detlev, for the magic hour shot, were you guys using a 360 shutter?

Nick, here is the meta data ... :-)

BRB- gotta trade in my Epic real quick...

That looks stunning... Bravo.

Excellent idea +
Thanks!


Paul did you get your Dragon? And you are flying with the mini mags? Miss ya man... Gotta catch up... Cool images BTW

Thank you, Sir. Good to meet you briefly at IBC ... :-)



... missed you, zeb ... :-)


Lovely images. Love the glassy smoothness of blacks Dragon lets you find.

Also, I love the mini mags now. 512gb is perfect... 1tb will be perfecter still when they come :)

... i like this ... :-))


Some very nice images there guys, well done!!

thanks Ketch, long overdue ... ;-)


Those eyes man, I love how Dragon captures the eyes. Great to all involved.

Thanks Justin! ... the magic of resolution .... pixelwise, colorwise, temporal .... can´t get enough of it!
 
Very nice, Detlev, thanks for sharing.
Certainly the first Dragon in Café "Einstein-UdL". ;o)
ToiToiToi for the project.
 
Great imagery Detlev.

Looks to me like not just a case of beautiful subject-matter being expertly captured, but also an example of Canon lenses looking like they never have before, thanks to RED and their new camera.

Can't wait to see more examples.
 
Great images, Detlev! I love the light on these and it's beautifully captured!

You should've let me know that it's about time to pay you a visit in Berlin... hehehe.
I not only missed to play with Dragon, but first and foremost with you and Paul! Would've loved to meet with you guys and do the shake hands with you, Paul :)

I almost got a job for the coming week in Berlin - but d'oh! No Berlin-playtime for me atm.
 
simple flexibilty, handheld, canon glass ...

Thanks Jim, Jarred, RED ... it´s what i´ve been waiting for ... :-)))

Handheld with 1/100? Looks damn sharp!
Or did you use a faster shutter on that one?

Which canon lens was that?

Thank you, Les!


Guess i could make a thread with the first two weeks of "concept shooting" for my "Everything Beta Film" - I did that a couple o´weeks ago on the Epic MX with canon glass and some zeiss PL ... (will insert a link here, when done)


Great images, Detlev! I love the light on these and it's beautifully captured!
...
Thanks!

I guess there are two ways to " lighting it" ... (let´s not speak about the 3rd, which is doing nothing)

1) setting up the light, which i´d say i manage any style i want to,
but as we all know, it takes a lot of time and heavy lifting ... so, not my preferred way any more ... i like to move fast.

Of course, there are situations, where setup and rigging and everything is justified, even motion controlling ... i am a big fan of that ... but not so much in everyday life ...

leading to the practice of:

2) "seeing it" ... hunting it, i should say ... and putting subjects in there ....
which is my preferred way of doing it ... these days ... :-)

+ handheld
+ Dragon
+ light weight canon

... makes for a pretty sweet, fast, run and gun, hunting experience ... :-))

Looking forward to shoot a narrative like this ...

... do the shake hands with you, Paul :)

highly recommendable ... :-)

Handheld with 1/100? Looks damn sharp!
thanks.

Which canon lens was that?

100 macro.
