Does anyone know a web page that discusses the characteristics of different lenses. Primes Zooms, Primo's Zeiss, Cookie, anamorphic... what have you I'd like to learn the different characteristics and quality of each. Thank you
Also I was wondering if any of you DPs have some one studying under you. I've done a lot of electric grip, gaffer and a little DP my self, but I would love to work right under a DP and learn everything I can from them with out missing anything by putting up lights away from set. Its hard to get across what I'm saying cause I don't mean to say I want to learn with out putting in the work of an electrician or anything, because I love doing that. However, I would love to be side by side with a DP and figure out why he put a light here or used this diffusion vs. that one. Obviously not when he/she is busy on the set trying to configure a shot. What would be the best position I could fill that would help me learn as much about the the how and why a DP lights and shoots?
Thank you very much for responding and I hope it didn't make the second paragraph too confusing. ;) Thank you
