![]() The low saturation Cinema and Teal & Orange settings are particularly interesting for videographers. There’s also a collection of colour styles that can be applied to stills or video: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Portrait, Landscape, Cinema, Teal & Orange, Sunset Red, Forest Green, Foveon Classic Blue, Foven Classic Yellow, Monochrome. Alternatively, when an SD card is used, the more common MOV format is available. ![]() Enticingly, when an external SSD is connected it can shoot 4K (3840×2160) footage in CinemaDNG format with up to 12bit colour. VideoĪs well as stills, the Sigma fp can shoot video. As well as being silent, that helps to keep the size down, but it means that images of moving subjects or that are shot when the camera is panning are prone to suffering from the effects of rolling shutter.Īs there are no phase detection pixels on the fp’s sensor, it uses contrast detection for focusing with face and eye detection. Instead, it operates full-time with an electronic shutter. In a change from the norm, the Sigma fp doesn’t have a mechanical shutter. The lower settings are enabled by compositing a series of images shot at ISO 100, which means it’s strictly for motionless subjects. Interestingly, the native sensitivity range is ISO 100-25,600 but there expansion settings that take it down to as low as ISO 6 and as high as 102, 400. It’s a back-illuminated sensor with 24.6million effective pixels on its 35.9×23.9mm surface and there’s no low-pass filter. If you more like the above, have a search for "Roger Ballen", he takes it to another extreme.Sigma normally uses a Foveon sensor in its cameras but it has used a conventional chip with a Bayer pattern coloured filter array for the fp. It reminds me of the saying "a bad workman blames his/her tools", which is also kind of the inverse of "do your best with what you've got". the questions you might have about who the child is, what's with the expression, where are his parents, is the grenade real?ĩ0% of that is from the photographer and their interaction with the subject, and only a little of it is from the camera, the tool to capture that moment. the context, the expression, the rigid pose, the fallen shoulder strap, the grenade. So, I guess to sum it all up in this photo. However, as we can see in many of her picture the effect was quite the opposite. She wanted to have stillness in her photograph, and that is why she always posed her subjects either on the street or in their homes.Īrbus made the subjects look directly to the camera to “freeze” the picture. What she first liked about it was how it alters light and reveals things you don’t normally see. She was one of the pioneers of daylight flash use, which she used to isolate her subjects. The scheme typical for her photography is a frontal portrait in square format. “I want to photograph what is evil,” Arbus told Model, who noted that “ was determined to reveal what others had been taught to turn their backs on.” “There’s something troubling about him playing solider-the ongoing war efforts were not lost on a little kid in Central Park.” “Arbus captures a boy on the cusp of adolescence yet still playing with toys-but the object is a plastic grenade, an object of war,” said Hughes. Diane Arbus is best known for her stark, documentary style of photography." She also portrayed “normal” people in a manner that exposed the cracks in their public masks. "Diane Arbus is known for her unrelenting direct photographs of people who are considered social deviates. So I was going to write a quick paragraph reply but I bothered to do a bit of research. ![]() I have maybe a dozen photos on my phone and they are just used as sort of visual notes of things I need for a short while. The camera and lenses still work some 30+ years later, but are sitting on a shelf. I moved up to a slightly more automated Ricoh body that accepted all my Pentax lenses, but started lacking the time to spend on this hobby and eventually just stopped. Even though the viewfinder is dim and the action is slow by today's standards, you are in total control of aperture, focus, and shutter speed. I started with a K-1000 also, there's something wonderful about its simplicity. Never scanned anything (of course, scanners didn't exist in those days, at least not in the consumer market). When I used to be into photography I shot B&W film and did all my own processing and prints. Scanning doesn't even makes sense in this mindset. Each shot is costly and time-consuming, so you think about what you are doing and the shots that make it to a print are your well-considered best ones. The overhead is the point of shooting on film these days.
