Sony a7 III: Model Thuỳ Dương
A screen grab from my latest shoot with a quick color correction in post. It was around a quarter to six in the evening, the sun had already set, and I wanted to accentuate the blue in the sky, so I set the Lishuai bi-color LED to 3200 Kelvin. In order to remain outside the... Continue Reading →

Sony a7 III YouTubers: cont’d.
Forum member techjedi over at DPReview, after reading my post about the garbage YouTube videos shot by a7 III users, was generous enough to write: With respect, there is plenty of footage. I think you may have just been using the wrong search keywords or were expecting vloggers studio videos to be a representation of... Continue Reading →
Six a7 III YouTubers Compared
I've said before that one of the chief reasons I deliberated so long and hard before purchasing the Sony a7 III was the prevailing idea that Sony's skin tones were dreadful; and little I'd seen on the Web persuaded me otherwise. And while Tony Northrup did a good job debunking the myth about poor Sony... Continue Reading →

Phuong: Extended Version
I've tweaked the audio, given the video punchier blacks, used the new comic book effect in Final Cut Pro sparingly, reduced the duration of a couple of clips, added new footage of Phuong shot a couple of days ago and removed the green tint in some of the clips. https://youtu.be/vq6wjan2TqU "Evening Forever" by KieLoKazLicense

Final Cut Pro 10.4.4 Comic Book Effect
A new feature in the effects pane allows you to turn your live action video into animation at the click of a mouse. It’s pretty cool!
Sony a7 III: Phuong
We met up yesterday morning and took a taxi to the Fine Arts Museum (formerly a private villa designed by a French architect and constructed in the early 20th century) but because of the heavy traffic, instead of the usual ten minutes, it ate up a precious thirty minutes of the two hours I normally...

Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM Autofocus Woes
I'm getting superb color rendition as usual with Sony's new 24mm f/1.4 GM lens, but serious AF issues. Even when the subject is framed by the face detect box, the images are blurry. I'm going to compare it to the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 but whatever the results, I think I'll be returning the prime. I... Continue Reading →
Good News: No More Cats!
At long last, I think I've found a model, so hopefully this will be the last cat screenshot I post for a long, long time. I still need to find some assistants for sound and lighting though. And I'm hoping to be able to try out my newfangled fog machine.
Vlogging in 2018
Since switching over to the Sony a7 III, YCImaging's YouTube channel looks dramatically better. The clean image and excellent detail is achieved by downsampling the 4K image from 6K and there's the wonderful full frame shallow depth-of-field, along with pleasing skin tones. Meanwhile, though I dig his meticulous attention to lighting and the orange and... Continue Reading →

Character
The online forums are brimming with opinions on what constitutes a good lens. And many of those commenters would have us believe that lens reviews, which consider factors like extraordinary resolution and an absence of aberrations and vignetting to be the hallmarks of good design, as entirely misguided. In sum, they prefer vintage lenses with... Continue Reading →
