The number one resource for information about HDR technology, workflows, tutorials, news and opinion.
It's been suggested that rather than spend my entire life savings on one anamorphic lens, that I should either get a Canon 5D3 or BMMCC and shoot RAW or pick up a true cinema camera like the BMCC, Ursa Mini Pro, the Canon C200 or an EVA1; or (gasp!) even try shooting Nikon, Sony or...

Just kidding! Before I delve further into the current monitor situation for HDR, let me first rattle off some of the specs of the 27" Dell UP2718Q, talk a bit about why it's so freakin' awesome, then why you might not want to pull the trigger just yet, and lastly suggest some options that won't require you...

OLED isn't the holy Grail: Most reviewers, and more importantly, professional colorists I've read and listened to in podcasts and in interviews believe that OLED delivers near perfect picture quality. CEO and General Manager of Flanders Scientific Bram Desmet has gone on at length about the superior picture quality of OLED. At the risk of repeating myself, DisplayMate considers the recent line...

So this morning, as I was preparing to do a full review of the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 lens at a local McDonald's, I was accosted by a young fellow, who started moving my equipment around, violently shaking the table I was sitting at and asking me to move. While trying to get away as quickly... Continue Reading →
Another rant about the Veydra Mini Primes. I've got nothing but time on my hands, so why not stir up the pot a bit? I realize all the excitement and hubbub's about the upcoming Sigma and Olympus lenses (interesting, since they never fail to lose out big time to the Leicas in my video comparisons!),...

Since playing around a bit with Paul Leeming’s LUT for HLG to rec. 709 and seeing the excellent skin tones and dynamic range it’s capable of, I’m fairly certain Cinelike D is going to be a thing of the past fairly soon, like upturned Polo collars and bell bottoms (except in South Korea, where unfortunately,...

The all-new Leeming LUT v501 designed for HLG in a rec.709 color gamut is sensational – better than Cinelike D and as good or better than V-Log Lite. I’m at work on a short video right now, will be going to Singapore to pick up the Veydra 16mm on Tuesday, but hopefully will be able to post... Continue Reading →

I've been relying on Paul Leeming's LUTs for several months now to restore the rec. 709 color space to my Cinelike D footage, and more recently for previewing V-Log Lite in camera and for color correction in post. Last night, however, while I was reviewing a Cinelike D test shot with the GH5 prior to... Continue Reading →
