F3 for still photo shoot
After shooting some video for an upcoming music video release, the producer who knows I also offer 35mm photography services asks me to get some promo stills.
I didn't have my 35mm DSLR with me, so I used the F3! |

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
That looks great! What were the file specs of the video you extracted this from? What's the pixel dimensions of the still image?

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
I was shooting 1920x1080 25fps 1/50th (as the footage I shot here in Toronto will be going to Africa to mix in with an existing project).
I extracted a frame and downsized to 960x540, and I believe the size embedded in post is 640x360 or something. The image you see is quite treated in post however, and it was shot to SXS 8-bit 420. |

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
Resolution is for sure not as good as a still camera, but try getting that creamy look out of DSLR.

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
For a grab off of video I think it looks fantastic! From a 640x 360 pixel pic, I don't know if one would be able to tell the difference between a video grab or a dslr still frame.

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
Ozgur those are nice images indeed.
You definitely don't always need 5184x3456 pixels like I get from my 7D. |

Apertures: F1.9 - F5.6 Gain: 0db Shutter almost always at 11.25 degree (or 1/2000) for least amount of blur. Using NDs as appropriate Zoom as appropriate BBC's video profile most of the time (I'm leaning towards my own pp now) Using a cheap magnification filter (+10) for some macro shots. Bought a set of 4 filters off of ebay for 19$. That cheap :) Some of them were taken while on a tripod, most of them are handheld. Trying to make good composition to compensate the lack of resolution and color depth :) Too bad the camera is 8bit and is too noisy :( On a few of them, i duplicated the video in after effects, masked out some parts and either used another part of the video with different exposure or graded it differently, creating a 'fake' dynamic range. Good eyes can catch those photos easily :) Also some shots are graded differently than usual (like that metalic yellow water or blue clouds) Thank you for the messages :) (pm me if you have any more questions) Have a nice shooting everyone :) |

Re: F3 for still photo shoot
Here is taking more time to properly grade this image, the first one of her was quite bad.
