    Hi :) Very nicely done. You're quite talented. Was this shot in Apple ProRes in log? 422 or 422HQ? The grain issue might be a problem, but I'll check this out. Thanks. Subscribed. Looking forward to watching your other videos. :)

      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) Yes, it was shot in ProRes log but I’m unsure now whether it was 422 or 422 hq. I probably would have chosen the highest quality so hq is my best guess. I shot it with the BM app and native lenses only.

    I would like to know, Did Saul Leiter edit his photos for certain effects and if so what were his methods? Or was his work just straight out from the film roll to the original print

    • @photoiconsexplained
      @photoiconsexplained 12 днів тому

      Good question! I don't remember reading or hearing much about his editing. But his use of reflections, colour theory and negative space in-camera are definitely the main effect drivers, I would say.

    Great work, and I enjoyed watching the video. But I found a little mistake. As a member of Leica Historica, I must say that you are wrong about the history of Leica. Leica was a Product of the Leitz company founded in the 19th century and was already very famous for its microscopes. The Leica was developed by Leitz employee and precision engineer Oskar Barnack in 1913. Ernst Leitz the second decided to launch it as a product for his Leitz company. Later in the 1990s, the former Leitz company was splitted into 3 different Leica companies. Leica Camera, Leica Microsystems, which still produces Microscopes, and Leica Geosystems for surveying and geographical measurement.

    • @photoiconsexplained
      @photoiconsexplained Рік тому

      Alexander, you are right! Thank you for pointing that out! I have to apologise! I was aware that Leica produced microscopes before but must have gotten those details confused. I will put a correction into the description of the video.
