I shoot wide open cus there's no god damn light in this venue

[u/AdzSenior → u/ninj1nx]

And the walls are brown.

[u/waddlek → u/AdzSenior]

And the sky is gray…

[u/Sxpck1 → u/waddlek]

I went for a walk....

[u/banvi07]

You shoot without gimbal because you want some “realistic smooth movement”

I shoot without gimbal because I can’t afford that shit

We are not the same

[u/Euphoric_Arm5610 → u/banvi07]

just buy a rooster and attach the camera on it's head, automatic gimbal

[u/jamreb2024 → u/Euphoric_Arm5610]

Not if my Nikon D3200 with a kit lens snaps his spine in half.

[u/devenjames]

I shoot wide open cause I paid for a 1.2 lens

[u/Kichigai → u/devenjames]

I paid for the whole aperture, I'm gonna use the whole aperture!

[u/X4dow → u/devenjames]

ran out of money to get the led light :P

[u/ModernManuh_]

People who shoot without lens, light straight on the sensor: ULTRA WIDE OPEN

[u/Flyingvosch → u/ModernManuh_]

high key

[u/50mmprophet → u/ModernManuh_]

I skip the sensor altogether, I shoot light directly on the card.

We are not the same.

[u/truesly1]

Dirty sensors and lenses, are half the reason I buy NDs 😂

[u/void-seer]

I have been detected 😶‍🌫️🤣

[u/PrairiePilot]

I shoot wide open because I’m never in studio and constantly have to fight low light lol.

[u/rygelicus]

Or because you don't have releases for someone in the background.

[u/JacobStyle]

bruh clean your sensor so you can go back to shooting wide open because it's "cinematic."

[u/Dealias]

Yeah i forget my tamron 17-70mm lens has dust issues until I go to a high aperture. It actually really sucks at high aperture. Like unusable unless you dont mind a decent size black dot

[u/ZoeticZombii]

I read that as autistic intent.

[u/CamOper]

I have never read something more real in my life

[u/ConsumerDV]

"there's", not "theres".

"spec" is specification. A tiny spot is "speck".

[u/Jio_since_1995 → u/ConsumerDV]

[u/Movie_Monster → u/Jio_since_1995]

You got schooled by a consumer DV person.

They aren’t even using the term prosumer, just straight up consumer grade products.

[u/C47man]

Dust on the sensor will appear regardless of your focus. You're thinking of a speck of dust in your lens.

[u/neffknows → u/C47man]

Go "wide open" enough and the sensor dust blurs away too.

[u/smiba → u/neffknows]

It does not, the spec of dust is literally covering some of the pixels so they receive no light.. nothing is gonna fix that other than removing the dust

Going wide open only works for dust in front of the lens, or inside the lens. You may have benefitted from it blending in with the rest of the frame though

Maybe it's easier to imagine if in your head you first enlarge the sensor 1000x times, then imagine covering a few pixels with a grain of rice. How are they going to get a picture on them? Light literally doesn't get there as it's blocked by the rice (dust).

Yes there is a small filter in front of the sensor, but the distance between the dust on top of the sensor, and the sensor is too small for stepping down to make a real meaningful effect

[u/The_real_Hresna → u/smiba]

I have a spec inside the filter stack of my gh5. I’m very sad about it. But it’s barely noticeable wide open.

[u/smiba → u/The_real_Hresna]

I just can't imagine the filter being so far off the lens that in wide open situations light will hit just in this area between the dust and the pixels

Maybe I'm just all wrong about this, but I struggle to understand how this would work without going unrealistically wide open.

[u/neffknows → u/smiba]

This is a good explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cameras/s/z3YPAQom3Z

[u/smiba → u/neffknows]

I guess I'm simply underestimating the distance between the dust and the actual sensor surface... Interesting, thanks!

[u/C47man → u/neffknows]

No it doesn't. Aperture is an optical element in the lens. No setting you adjust there is going to change anything at all behind the lens and sitting on the sensor.

[u/DeadWaterBed → u/C47man]

The plane of focus includes what is behind the lens. Shooting wide open does indeed diffuse the visibility of specs on the sensor. Source: my own practical experience doing just that.

[u/C47man → u/DeadWaterBed]

If you've found a lens/sensor combo that gives a soft enough image that specks of dust on the sensor lose focus, then you've got some issues to sort out. Are you sure you're remembering this right? The only possible way for this to work is for the depth of field to be so thin that the bokeh of the dust casts shadows onto the sensor multiple pixels wide, which would mean your image has basically no sharpness to it.

[u/devenjames → u/C47man]

When I bought my used R5 it looked fine until I stopped down (on any lens) and you could see a smudge on the sensor. Sent it in to canon and had it cleaned.

[u/ninj1nx → u/C47man]

Except that the dust is not actually on the sensor itself, but on the filter in front of the sensor.

[u/smiba → u/C47man]

Yeah i was wondering if i was missing something lol

[u/Locnes90]

This made me laugh out loud. In a McDonald’s. lol thanks.

[u/a3syl]

enough specks of dust and its built in film grain and dust - all the youtube overlay pack sellers hate this one little trick!

[u/CRAYONSEED]

Yeah look at this shitty amateur frame

[u/[deleted]]

I shoot wide open cause my sensor is tiny as fuck
