You can get over lens flares by taking two exposures, take the first as you
want it, then take the second with your thumb over the sun and in frame
which stops the flare. Then layer them in photoshop and mask out the flare,
it’s sometimes a lot easier than cloning it out!
why no lens hood?
he did
please what about damaging the sensor from being aim to sun direct ?
why not shoot one of each and see which you prefer?? Great video. thanks
perhaps adjust the height of your tripod to move the horizon line – keeping
your camera straight 90 degrees onto light house -thus getting your
verticals straight. Great video – nice job.
From my (limited) experience: Yes they do. Thus, to shoot the sun with less
flare, I choose a prime lens. Furthermore, your prime lens will likely have
less Chromatic Abberation, another important aspect of shooting the sun…
If you shoot in RAW you dont need to worry about White balance, thats why
alot of people use Auto White balance cause the Light changes so much
during the day.
I love how he says a slanted horizon is ridiculous. The videographer should
have taken that advice. The only parts with straight horizons are Jim’s
pictures.
Do prime lenses in general give less flare than zoom lenses?
Really Right Stuff makes this bracket and ball head.
If you’re shooting into the sun, the main light source in a scene, there is
no reason for using a lens hood. A lens hood is designed to shade the front
element of the lens from light when it’s coming off axis.
It’s made by Really Right Stuff
Great job thanks for information!!
and, if he did that, what about the vegitation that comes up several feet?
Tell us about the bracket you use on your camera so you can turn your
camera quickly on the tri pod
great post, thanks Jim.
