    At the risk of sounding stupid, what was the homemade lighting modifier that you used? It looked almost like round cutlery strainers?

  • @timd4524
    @timd4524 Рік тому

    I use to call it blur also or depth of field. Turns out the Japanese word for blur is 'boke'. Language has always fascinated me. Fun video. It is interesting to see a different approach to bokek, being that the effect is being treated as another subject in the picture. Sorry I missed it live.

    Weather? It's allegedly summer here. But in SE Australia it's like winter (which would be like your summer, I'd guess). ie. rainy, cloudy, temps around 15 degs C (about minus 200 in the old language if you're still measuring things in cubits...)..
