14mm lens with ultra wide adapter at the end.  But you know the gh2  m43 so  this is like a 11mm on 600d

 

Its a Ad for a clothing line.  LoL I know it looks dark but its more of a sci-fi/misfits type of  storyboard.

The clothing  is 5 animated tooney characters with the cool factor and we sort of create this narrated mini-bio on how the designer came up with the concept.

its quite different. but fun to be involved in.

 

 

 

you tried the GH3?

Yeah I used it once.  Its a serious upgrade from the gh2.  But I am interested to see what they do with the hacks. Still think my gh2 hacked edges it slightly in quality. Feels more like a pro camera than the gh2 though.

Hi i want to put together a small documentary nothing fancy, nothing expense,

 

I need a camera, does anyone know where i can rent a camera for a couple days for affordable prices, as i dont want to pay £££££ for you

[Kurtis]

depending on the cam most places will require a hefty deposit aswell

 

last time i checked it was 1k for a prosumer camcorder

 

but i cant recommend cause i havent used any

[Benicio del Toney]

Got a reverse mount adapter for some macro shots.

 

Never realised how versatile the 18-55mm kit lens is.

 

 

Some shots of a dead fly

 

 

 

[Benicio del Toney]

Used a macro rail for them shots, not handheld.

[Afroman]

Those pics are cold

whats this reverse adapter called?

You screw it on the front like a filter then flip the lens round and attach it to the camera.

 

Only thing is the back of the lens is exposed but you could use an old lens or get a 2nd hand lens for that purpose.

 

The wider the lens the closer in you'll get. The 18mm works well, I have some extension tubes that woulda got me in even closer but I was just practising with it.

That macro shot of the fly is cold

[Mr. Martinez]

actually negged by accident

 

close ups of insects >

i want a drone with a camera or the ability to fit a camera by the summer

 

probably jus take vids n grab stills off that

 

dont wana be raggin it about jus steady control up high n take some decent shots 

 

any1 know anything? been tryna look into it but it's a rabbit hole

 

i kno carlos loves his futurology tech 

 

u still into photography n that afro?

 

know anything?

[Afroman]

DJ I Phantom is the best in the market.

but could be a nightmare to control

[Mr. Martinez]

You will have to spend a few hours practicing just to get going..

I've lost 2 of them 30 quid drones. one in a tree. another got stuck with some rubbish in the river.

they do get a bit easier to control as they get more expensive, but still it's not easy.

[Mr. Martinez]

Anyone got a 'macro lens' for their phone?

looking at copping

[local]

yh afro it seems to be the main 1

 

far too wary of spending that kinda p on somethin ive got a big chance of flying into water i think

 

probably wouldnt wana go over £150 all in

 

looks like there's a fair few decent alternatives to go pros croppin up too

 

hearing decent stuff about the mobius

 

/

 

yes carlos, knew u'd have dabbled

 

which ones u get then u got an ebay / amazon link?

 

worth it for the fun / shots u got? u moved onto somethin else now or u left it?

 

these ones u had jus come with a crappy camera built in or was it reasonable quality?

[local]

ive got a picture in my head of me floating down lake skadar in montenegro on a blow up double bed used a lilo

 

kicking back with my shades on n a bottle of whisky n flying this thing above my head gettin some class shots

 

i'll happily crash it afterward i jus want that

[Mr. Martinez]

:lol:

that sounds awesome

the ones I had didn't even have cameras on them. bought one in stratford and another off ebay last year.

the plan was to master the flying and then cop a proper one. that's still the plan but haven't got round to it yet

i'll defo advise you to do that first before spending any sort of money on one

the second one i lost because it run out of battery in the sky and just lumped itself onto a pile or rubbish on the thames

but yea once you can keep those cheap ones in the air for a good 5-10 mins doing what you want it to, you'll be ready to fly a proper one i gues

[local]

that's a great shout

 

looks like they've all got similar controls which i didnt realise

 

ill grab a shit one n report back

[Afroman]

Lol its worth getting it for the creative shots. Always wanted to add one to my gear but can't afford to crash it on one go.

Can't even enjoy the bloody thing in London. They bringing some flying laws in soon.

There is a couple start ups have seen floating about (no pun) on Facebook and it's suppose to be more affordable and easier to fly

[time_bomb]

saw a vice doc couple days ago where ukrainians were building their own home made drones and were able to get pics and vids up on their laptop

if u see anythin crop up again drop a link in here plz mate

 

saw a vice doc couple days ago where ukrainians were building their own home made drones and were able to get pics and vids up on their laptop

 

yh jus glanced through that

 

nerds are building their own setups all over the shop

 

that's what's baffling me, i'm lookin for basic consumer info of comparisons of these things n i'm delving into forums full of hardcore elitest drone builders

 

basically there's quadcopters, multicopters n airplane thingies (gliders) i think n various other sh*t, these f*ckers can fly, swim or walk

 

lookin on various subreddits - fpv, drones

 

i'm baffled but i'm it's sparkin my interest

 

check out this sh*t

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQXmC9OmFJQ

 

sicckk as f*ck

 

/

 

so yh if anyone comes across any info feel free to share

 

hopefully within the next few months the market will open up a bit n cheaper consumer friendly products will drop

 

in return for any info i'll share the hopefully decent shots i'll be gettin of my travels

 

gorges, lakes, waterfalls, the alps, castles n sh*t n if it lasts long enough a few bangkok skylines

 

help me help u

Sick

[Meticulous]

i bought a remote control helicopter a few months ago true i always wanted one, lost that shit to a tree real quick.

 

they arent heavy or strong enough to resist the wind. id love to get a petrol one

[Mr. Martinez]

that's an awesome vid

i guess this is what those chaps that used to fly the petrol airplanes and helicopters are now doing

there used to be a club over at wanstead flats where they flew them, my dad was a member

some of the planes and helicopters they had back then were awesome

can't imagine what they must have now

i remember going to a air show or whatever it's called in aylesbury, where some guys had remote control fighter jets and mad shit like that

this was like 13-14 years ago

it's a sick skill. for the helicopter and planes though you defo need to get a simulator for your computer and hook it up to the actual controller you'll be using for practice. you'll also prob need to get lessons from someone where you both have control of the plane with a controller each, and the teacher releases control to you, taking over when you're about to blow everything up.

[Mr. Martinez]

well i guess this is what they have now...
