Some decent test footage in there. Nicely done. Had mine for about two months and, keeping buyer’s honeymoon in mind, I’m really impressed with the files. I shot in XF-AVC and in RAW. For the money, you get a heck of a lot of camera.
Some really nice stuff here. You are a braver man than I! Twice whilst going to college in Chicago in the early '80s, I experienced -27°F. This wasn't wind chill, it was the air temp. I'm one of those weirdos who really does prefer cold weather to hot, but that was just a bit extreme for me. I don't think I'd want to try photography in those kinds of conditions, though where I live now (central Connecticut), we rarely hit below-zero temperatures, and when it happens it's usually only for a day or two.
Nice shots! But why are you shooting at ISO 200? When going down to ISO 200 at base ISO 800 you are shifting you dynamic range into your shadows and losing dynamic range in your highlights. Im not sure if you are aware of that, but if you do it on purpose I'm curious for your reason for that. You are filming in the snow so dynamic range in your highlights seem important, especially when backlit.
@@baumnico so you definitely make valid points dynamic range wise. I chose 200 because I had already rolled some base 800 footage and I wanted to test what a cleaner signal looked like. Dynamic range wise, 800 is the largest as its the base, but it isn't always the cleanest picture signal to noise ratio wise. My rational was simple, most Canon's I have used over my 15 year career have optimum signal to noise ratio around 160-200 iso, so that's why i chose to shoot there. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@jamielinkphotography Thanks for your advice, it makes sense for sure! As a new Canon (C400) shooter I appreciate your advice and experience! I still need to figure out how to get those clean shadows as I am experiencing noise in those, I can nail clean shadows on Blackmagic, S-Log3 and REDCODERAW but not in Clog2 yet.
@@jamielinkphotography Understood. What was the conclusion in your testing? I've been using Canon myself for 6 years, and am interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks :)
@Mac_Choudhry I mean, so far everything I've shot with the Canon c400 had been outstanding. The footage looks greater and the it grades easily. Definitely need to bump saturation if shooting in slog a bit more than I've had in the past with other cameras, but I'm really happy so far!
I’m glad to see that some farmer having their cattle out in the winter. Mighty bull there. Footage looks really good. So much detail in the highlights and very smooth highlight roll of. Nicely graded too 🤗 May I ask what workflow you used to get that look? CST in Resolve or what? A camera to long for!
probably not the first to say this, but did you adjust the luminence value of the monitor? I haven't tried in bright snow, but I have shot in bright desert and was pleasantly surprised by the canon monitor's ability in bright conditions. It's not 1.5 or 2k peak brightness, but works fairly well with some minor adjustments.

@@love4wildlife I agree 150%! It's a great package for the price and fits into my gear ecosystem perfectly! 👍

It definitely was a bit of a challenge but hey, gotta embrace the cold!

@ oh I meant between iso 200 and iso 800. :) sorry if I wasn’t specific. And did you happen to shoot RAW LT at all?

Yep, you nailed it.. Keep it simple with Just stock footage and a CST in Resolve.
Lenses were
Canon RF 24-70 2.8L
Canon RF 70-200 2.8L
@@jamielinkphotography Thanks!
Cool 😎 Yeah, that seems to work best of everything I’ve tried and simple.
Mid49 makes a 3D printed monitor cover that works well until "someone" makes a badass touch usbc monitor like Black Magic's. It's like $30-40.
Super creamy footage! What glass did you have in front?
@@scotey thanks! Most of this was with the Canon rf 70-200 2.8L
A few shots were also with the Canon RF 24-70 2.8L
@@jamielinkphotography Thank, man. Glad to see RF glass retains a bit of an organic look.

I tried adjusting a bunch of settings,but for me nothing worked in the snow. I have it rigged up with an atomos shinobi now so that issue is solved 👍
