    Never heard of it. But ordered it from the library. Always wanted to see David's work. https://ohio.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/mfp/search/results?qu=the+love+witch&te= I saw David was consultant to 'Itty Bitty Titty Committee.' (I think) I was going to ask what a consultant does?

    Was watching Dunkirk specials. The DP Hoyte Van Hoytema looks to have shot most of it. I thought the DP directed the camera operator. Getting back to Dunkirk... It was impressive wachting Hoyte Van Hoytema at work. Just for the endurance of having to be 'on' all the time.

    OP...sound great for the filmmaker! I wish this was the trend with film scanners.

    I seldom do unless it bothers my ears. It was put in for a reason. I can see someone muting my sound as 95% of my films just have projector sound as the sound track. I like projector sound, so it is music to my ears.

    I'd never rent or loan any gear. Foolish.

    A while back someone asked about flashlight to make lens flare for special effects. I've always used Surefire and still do. But the Streamlight tactical lights are impressive with their ability for taking abuse and for being budget priced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qipVyi4HLpI&feature=youtu.be

    Sorry, all those words are just a blur to me. I'm visual. I need a storyboard. Good luck!

    Here is an interesting subject.Propaganda postcards from WW2! I made it with digital scans only. The postcard collector would not sell the collection. And even if he would sell it, I could not afford it. So he sold me scans of it. About 15% to 20% of my Archive is digital. Even if rich, you can't always buy everything you want. Digital collecting still makes it possible to put things in the archive.

    I just was worried I would be advertising something wrong if I am offering 4K at 3840. I'm doing all future hi def work in 4096x2160. Prior to that I was doing 3840x2160. It is not that big a step up between the two, but the 4096 will fit the bill for 4K, so no one can complain. Some of my early work I only have in 3840. So if I get an inquiry I will tell them it is UHD and don't have it in 4K, but UHD is very close to it. Probably no one would complain either way. I'm dealing with curators of special collection libraries and art museums and possibly galleries. They are generally MA's or PhD's with art history degrees. I didn't even know what 4K was myself until a few days ago. I looked it up and it said the image is 4000 pixels wide. So that is an easy way to understand it. I guess a Blu-ray is a 1K.

    Well, I like to have the right nomenclature. There is always enough stuff to be critical of. Honesty of advertised specs should be basic. Thanks!

    I want to make some 4K video of still photos. My still photos are all hi-res scans that I am importing into the software. So I am not upscaling or photographing the photos, I'm downscaling scans. The software I'm using has 2 hi-res options for exports. Are either of these two OK to advertise as 4K or does 4K have to be the 4096x2160 only? 3840x2160 4096x2160 I don't care about the ratio on these options as my files are not widescreen. Also, can 4K be MP4 or AVI, does that matter at all? I plan to use the files for projection. Thanks

    Have a large group of Civil War images in my digital archives. Here is some of it from the 1850s to 1870s. Read up on Mathew Brady. He financed the photo crew to document the Civil War and ended up dying broke. His photos were not well received. Everyone just wanted to forget about the Civil War and move on. (Some male nudity of soldiers showing battle wounds.)

    Portfolio is basic. Keep at it. I started to make video portfolios or reviews of my photo projects. I used to just do standard still online portfolios. Video portfolios open up new display opportunities. Give it a try.

    I wouldn't call it a buyers market unless you have deep pockets. I keep buying lotto tickets in any case. Are there comparison photos for FPN ranges? Thanks

    Beautiful work!

    If you expect $$, if $$ is made, you need a contract.

    That is what sets an artist apart...uniqueness of view / execution.

    Have you shot any concert pix as yet? Lets see some of what you produce. I feel your pain about passes. They wont give me a pass either. Nor for the pollical RNC DNC conventions here. I like concert photography, but access is an issue. I mean the world is polluted with photogs. No shortage, so it is a hard nut to crack. If you got connections, then OK, but without connections things are not easy. Best bet is to shoot what you can and not pine away waiting for the big time. You may be waiting all your life, just press the button. If you hit the big time, OK and if you don't hit the big time, still OK...you are covered. And lens flare is OK as long as the photo is not ruined from flare. Good luck!

    Cutouts...defaced found photography https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5ELf69g6c&t Found first one in an old family photo album. That got me thinking about their past crimes committed and spurred an interest in collecting.

    Here are examples from the Sigma T mount 100mm f2 single element diffusion lens from the 1980's. These were shot wide open. I didn't put my name on the files as I don't want to be associated with flower photography. I was experimenting with it and needed something to shoot.
  25. Daniel D. Teoli Jr.
    Forget the notes, what have your experiments yielded? My advice is if you want to smear stuff, smear it on a UV filter, not the lens. And if you smear the lens, make it dedicated and put a clean UV filter on it to preserve the look until you are finished with the project if you want things to match.
