    How the process works...
    Millions of Russian and Chinese A.I. bots register at forums around the world, beating down the first line defence (Captcha)
    Most are obvious when they make their first post. The first post from new registrations here are completely hidden to you guys and only shown for me so I can filter them out. I read the post and make a judgement on whether it's a real person or not. 99% it's easy. 1% of the time, a more sophisticated bot like you describe here will slip through but doing a cut and paste or convincing camera related topic.
    This is where I need your help. If you spot repeated behaviour like this and you think it's a bot, please flag them in this topic or email me!

    You can either multiply 1080 * 1.33 and get 1920x1436
    or
    divide 1920 / 1.33 and get 1443x1080. 
     
    It just depends on whether you want to stretch or shrink your pixels. 
     
    BUT, if I were you, I would put the camera sideways and then use 2x scope normally. 
    This would give you 2160 x 1920
    or 
    1080 x 960
     
    Remember that an anamorphic adapter in a sideway position will give you vertical flares like this:

    i'm not laughing , but i now can empathize much better with those  that been through a flood. Although i'm glad we have had insurance all these years however and i have to confess that the insurance company have been sterling to deal with through out it all. I do have some phone  footage i could share may have to see what i can throw together.

    I’ve been sticking pretty strictly to iso 400 and 3200 and controlling my exposure with a vnd and have absolutely zero problems. 
    I think the thing with the highlight recovery is that you can now compare two different options. With a lot of other cameras, if the highlights are blown, tough luck. Now you can compare, so there’s one more thing to consider while shooting. It’s far from a problem and if anything, I see it as a bonus. Just like many things, don’t rely on it and have it as an emergency backup.
    It’s like a ‘don’t worry we’ll fix it in post’ kind of thing. Thinking that way about audio, lights or any other aspect of film making is a bad idea, so why do it with video?

    Hello EOSHD community! I must admit that although I follow your website on a daily basis, Andrew, I haven't really commented or posted much on these forums. Regardless, a big thank you for all the honest, passionate, critical, informative and damned funny content you've shared over the years! In any case, here is my offering, for what it's worth. This was a great little project to focus the mind and soul!

    @mercer I have used the Rokinon 12mm f/2 extensively, I really like it. Tiny, bright, plenty sharp, great minimum focus distance, a no-brainer really. Flares are a little bit messy. Mine got damaged somehow and the internal focusing elements got all messed up, but after I took it to a lens technician the infinity focus is bang-on so it's a cinch to get shots really quickly. Here are a couple stills that I think show off the versatility of the lens, flares, bokeh, etc.

    Well, I haven't posted on EOSHD for ages, but when I saw this competition I thought that sounds fun. I dropped by on Bexhill-on-Sea on the South Coast yesterday on my way to somewhere else, and shot this footage over an hour or two.  No grading, straight out of camera. Manual settings (although fairly limited choice that's all I'll say). Edited on my laptop this evening. I bought the used camera on ebay for £133. I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you're looking for Andrew.  As long as I don't come last.

    Have an out take from your 10 minute custom test shoot in 2:1 with a bit more of a mute palette then
    Some blended diffusion to tone the sharpness down a bit as well.

    one music video that i thought was  creative visually and an interesting song musically in itself  is
    another song i like is 
    i kinda like the juxtaposition of a woman onscreen and a man voice singing. plus the acting fits the song i think. the brunette is kinda cute which sells it for me lol
    But the eighties definitely had some cool things happening musically 
    another dude i think is pretty interesting musically is this bloke, i dont want to take anything away from tommy or phil emmanual or Mark Knopfler but i think you have to be pretty switched on to play like this.
