    I once smacked my teacher's butt when I was stretching while in my chair. I was expecting to get in trouble. But she turned around, knowing it was an accident, and said, "woah, woah. Atleast buy me dinner first." Best teacher ever.

Then I noticed it and since the neighbors were out and could see me I yelled out litter when I picked it up. Then I saw the names of my parents on it. I want to die still. No I don't want a camera lens but I want to tell people who don't care about me stuff.

    Embarrassing Story: I went on a first date with a girl this summer, so covid was around and getting a bite to eat was a little tough. Me being the Gordon Ramsay protégé that I am offered to cook her lemon pepper salmon and Brussel sprouts. I cooked the sprouts in a Pyrex baking dish and when they were done I put them on the stove because none of the burners were on. I was wrong and as I was putting everything on plates the glass dish blew up, sounded like a gun shot and glass went everywhere. needless to say I bought her a new baking dish and she never asked to hang out again. Gotta love the year 2020

    Inconsistent squeeze Factor was a common problem in early CinemaScope lenses. In fact it was often referred to as the CinemaScope mumps because actors would get these very wide faces and close-ups. It wasn't until Panavision came along and added elements to the lenses that would compensate for the squeeze factor that that was eliminated in professional anamorphic lenses.

    Embarrassing story time: When I was in 9th grade, at gym class, we always did some stretching before we started the workouts. One time my stomach felt weird the entire day, but I didn’t pay that too much attention. The day went on and it was time for the gym class. We did the usual running laps at the beginning and after that, we started to do the stretching. At that moment I started to feel my stomach rumbling. I realized that I have to fart. I was barely able to hold it in, but I managed throughout the entire thing. The catastrophe happened at the last stage. The teacher asked us to lean over and touch our toes without bending our knees. At that moment, as I bent over, I let out the loudest ass cracking fart I have ever had in my entire life. Naturally, the whole class noticed, and I never heard the end of it. This happened in 2014 so a good while ago, but I never fully recovered from it. :D

Frantically looking for a way to flush the Realtor and possible buyer showed up out of the blue. I tried to tell the Realtor somehow NOT to show THAT bathroom ... well long story short. I gave the realty shoot for free and was never hired by that realtor again lol. Most embarrassing moment in my entire life lol. Was peeking at this lens for a while for my Sony a6400 .

I crashed through the balcony patio table and woke up the guests staying in that room. I had to exit through their hotel room to get back to the elevator leading to mine. ...I was naked.

    Embarrassing Story: A couple of years ago I was invited to do a speech on a photography event and just before they called me on the stage I felt the need to go (really bad) to the bathroom, but it was too late. So I got up on the stage, waited for my turn and when I started speaking in front of the crowd I was already profusely sweating. The worst thing is that they had cameras zoomed at my face linked to big screens behind me and everyone was worried that I was ill! I endured trough the end and just as I stepped out of the stage I started running searching for the toilet, while everyone backstage wanted to talk to me and help me. I can laugh now, but it was a very dramatic moment of my life! 😂

    Thank you very much for an excellent analysis of Sirus atmospheric lenses. You have an excellent performance where you elegantly take the step out of the amateur explanation that many youtubers have.
    It is a pleasure to see your tests that you have filmed. You have a professional explanations and analyzes in your explanations, where you present the tests in an excellent and easy-to-understand way that I think most people can understand.
    As a end result, your youtube video are professional with filming, scripts, clips, and music.
    It is a joy to be entertained by you with good analyzes. I can understand that you are a professional.
    I look forward to every time you come up with your analyzes, where you elegantly describe qualities in poto / video products, something that gives me greater certainty about the qualities of units that are on my shopping list.
    Thanks !
    You do not explain your videos in such a tedious way as this text shows.
    "Most optical phenomena can be explained by the description of light by classical electromagnetism. However, complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics therefore make common use of simplified models. The most common of these are geometric optics such as treats light as a collection of rays that propagate in straight lines, are deflected as they pass through or are reflected in surfaces.Physical optics also involve a more complete model of light, as necessary wave effects such as diffraction, which means that light transmitted through slits is scattered in patterns and interference, where different light waves can amplify or attenuate each other, which is not accounted for in geometric optics.Historically, the beam-based models of light were developed first, followed by the wave model.Progress in the development of the theory of electromagnetism in 1800 the number led to the discovery that light waves are actually electromagnets isk radiation.

We go to the spot with the client and I realise that my camera battery’s were not charged and I had forgot my SD cards at home. Luckily for me I had a power bank, a MacBook and a Spare 16 gb SD card with so I did the shoot with out the client noticing that I was dumb and didn’t came prepared.

    On my very first day of freshman year in high school I was so lost that I wasn't able to find my first period class.
    When I finally did find it class had already started and I went in and asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She looked at my schedule and told me in front of the class that no I got the wrong class.
    So I love and try to look for the class that I was supposed to be in. And after 25 more minutes of searching I returned back to the first classroom I went to. My teacher got so mad that I was late, even though I told her that I was here earlier, she was almost shouting when she was addressing me. At this point everybody in class was staring, some of the seniors were giggling ( this was a math class and there were some seniors retaking the class). That teacher decided to sit me that smack in the middle of the class all the way in the front row.
    It still haunts me till this day. 🥲🥲

Apparently, this is a trait of ALL Anamorphic lenses. So, for anyone looking to get this lens, it's not the lens' fault, it's the fact you're shooting Anamorphic.

    Embarrassing story: when I was 18 and finished school in Germany, our whole class went for spring break parties to Croatia. There I met a girl who was modeling back in Germany at this time and we had something going on for half a year. (Things broke up due to the great distance between our places of residence at this time, but we were both okay with it)
    5 years later I started creating a passion for photo- and videography and after I had some jobs as a freelancer with a friend, we got this job from a clothing- and accessoires- brand to shoot their products for them. So driving to the set (2 hours away from the place I live), I get into the studio and the first person I see is the girl I met 5 years ago in Croatia (she should be the model for this day). But the most embarrassing part: the owner of the brand we were shooting was her boyfriend.

      I'd argue that most people who've tested this lens on UA-cam haven't done so with a decent lighting setup though. The main focus has been to point lights directly into the lens to show how it flares, without thinking about lighting the scene and subject properly. I'm guilty of this myself. For my review of the 24mm I shot a sequence outdoors with just natural light, and then a sequence in my studio with thought-out lighting, and the difference is huge.

    • @NicolasWaldvogel
      @NicolasWaldvogel 3 роки тому +3

      Agreed, this is one of the most overrated lens trends with beginning filmmakers on UA-cam imo (not that Potato is a beginner of course!). Apart from the flares which do look ok, not great, the colours and contrast of these lenses look very cheap and not pleasing at all. Much better option to buy a Helios and get the anamorphic mod with it. Or just shoot with great spherical lenses and wait until you actually have the budget to rent proper anamorphic lenses on the appropriate project.

As it was a rainy day, and we were about to go to orientation, I had my umbrella in my hand, ready to leave. This was one of those collapsable ones with a spring in it, so it was pretty powerful. Of course, everyone knows that opening an umbrella inside is bad luck. I felt that immediately. I pressed the open button and somehow, the umbrella shot right into my groin. I was so injured by this that I had to go to the hospital to see if I could still have kids... I was somehow fine. To this day, the friends still talk about this story.

A cute old lady who lives down the street from me happened to be out checking her mailbox, and I didn't see her, nor the puddle on the side of the road since I was looking at a house's Christmas lights on the opposite side of the road. Before I knew it, I hit a massive puddle, sending a tidal wave on top of my neighbor (she's in her 70s) and completely soaked her out in the cold. Merry Christmas to her! 🎄🎅🏼 Hahah I ended up backing up and apologizing deeply, it was super awkward, but she was understanding and didn't get mad at me.

    Embarrassing Story: I’m talking to a classmate at school in 8th grade (2001) and out of nowhere midway in our casual conversation she says, “Remember when you used to wear girls clothes to school?” (I’m a guy). I laugh it off thinking she’s joking and have no clue what she’s talking about. She responds, “Yeah, you used to wear those girl pants… you know the one with the pink embroidered rose on the back butt pocket?” At that moment my laughter slowly stops as I suddenly have a flashback [WHOOSH~] and at that moment I knew exactly what she was talking about. Back in 4th grade (1997) when I had no care or interest in clothes and my mom was still picking out my school clothes (also embarrassing) we received bags full of second hand clothes from a family friend. All the clothes in the bags were for boys, but there was one navy blue corduroy pants that had an embroidered pink rose with a green stem on the back butt pocket. I have no idea how I or my mom didn’t notice the pants were for girls. My guess now is since all the other clothes in the bags were for boys that we didn't give it a second thought and somehow those pants had snuck in there. After she mentions the pants I realize all my other classmates must have known they were pants for girls and NO ONE had mentioned it to me. I remember wearing those pants every week for at least that whole school year. I still think about those pants from time to time and wonder where they are… probably up in my parent's attic somewhere.

    The following event happened around 2008-2009.
    I was covering the state budget at the Capitol back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor. You've seen the scenario before; all the media from the state was there, lined up against the wall, leaving very little space to move around. To give you perspective, Arnold was roughly 20-30 feet away from us at his desk.
    It was around 9:15 p.m. and getting close to our deadline. The reporter who I was with tapped me on the shoulder and said we need to go back to our vehicle and put our story together. As I was leaving, my foot got caught on the bottom leg of my tripod, causing me to fall chest first onto a printer that was behind me.
    Then came the tripod.
    Then the camera.
    The entire room became quiet.
    All eyes on me.
    Arnold's eyes on me.
    No words could describe how embarrassed I was.
    I fell in front of Arnold and stopped the signing of the state's budget from happening.
    As my reporter was helping me get on my feet, I felt something new. Something that was not there before.
    A cold breeze.
    I look down and what do I see? My pants and underwear completely ripped from the seam of my crotch to the ankle. Revealing myself to the world.
    I didn't really have time to comprehend what had happened. All I knew was I had to make my deadline. I ran back to the vehicle and put the story together, exposed, and out in the open.
    I don't really understand how those series of events lead to there. The whole situation still baffles me.
    Years later, I told this story to my boss.
    “THAT WAS YOU?”.
    He was one of the photojournalists next to me.
    To this day, I'm not 100% sure if Arnold has seen my peen, but now I know that my boss has

    Embarassing story : I'm a French professional explorer. In 2019, I walked 3000 kilometers (1865 miles) across Canada during the dead winter. One day, as the temperature was really low, like -35°C (-31°F), I was singing while walking to warm up. I had a carabiner hooked on my backpack strap. suddenly, I heard a noise, like a wolf or a coyote scream. So I turned around really quickly, but mouth open and tongue out, as I was still singing. My tongue touched the carabiner, and because of the crazy cold, stayed stuck to it. So I was there, in the middle of nowhere, in a crazy cold, surrounded by wild animals, screaming only the vowels of insults, my head twisted in a painful angle on my right side.
    That was pretty embarassing I must say. Weird memorie.

I tapped her shoulder and as I began giving my elevator pitch of love she began laughing. Apparently having my fly down and my blinding white undies showing was not the right approach. Her loss in my opinion. 🧐🥴

    Squeeze varies from 1.25 at the minimal focusing distance to 1.33 at infinity. Tito from “Anamorphic on a budget” has detailed videos on it. Not overly annoying, unless your subject moves back and forth a lot. What’s really annoying is the flares. ND filters seem to tame them down a bit.

One day I had a really bad stomachache in class, and I remember trying to let out a small fart, and it was one of those diarrhea farts, but it was also one of those that I couldn’t tell whether I had sharted or not.... so.... in the middle of class I go under my table and I’m hoping everyone is distracted, so I just reach into my ass to check whether I had done it..... and....I did. So in the middle of class! I have a shitty ass finger and everything is starting to smell.... so I just run out of the classroom... and I didn’t have to go back to school for the rest of the semester.

But during the exams my stomach felt weird all of a sudden, I rushed to the toilet and it exploded there. When I was about to clean myself up I noticed the bidet was broken -- good thing, I was still holding onto my test paper out of panic and brought it to the toilet. Had a lot of explaining that day with the examiner.

    So back in Highschool I was a varsity swimmer and yes that means Speedos were being worn, well anyways at practice one day we had the door open into the pool to the outside to cool off the pool room (MN winters) and I thought it would be funny to go dive into a snow pile outside the door... but also my coach thought it would be funny to shut the door and not let me back in. So there I am outside in the snow wearing a Speedo and now having to go back into a different entrance of the school, and you guessed it... had to walk mostly naked into a main entrance with tons of kids from my school making fun of me as I make my walk of shame back to the pool. It was cold that day 🥶

    3840 x 1,25 is 4800, so you set the project to be 4800 x 2160, which is also exactly a 20:9 aspect ratio (fills out the screen perfectly of most modern phones when watching in fullscreen). Now it fits when you desqueeze by 125,0%, and you can work in the range of 125% to 133% without having empty (black) unused spaces. For some shots you might use 125, for others 127 or 133. You can also adjust shots and move them left and right if you desqueeze one of them more than 125%. Theres so many comments here that this probably will never be seen but I'll leave it here anyway

    My most embarrassing story went a little like this.
    There was this new talent we had in our production company and I was hyped to shoot her takes.
    As I was setting up her lights and set, the news that this new talent was a runway model and stuff circled around the office and pretty soon, people were flocking to the studio to see her.
    Now the studio I work in is pretty small, factor in a few LED lights, some fill lights, all on huge tripods and half of the office inside the studio, you could say that I was getting a little bit annoyed.
    When I was finishing up one final adjustment to the lights by carrying a fill light closer to the model, I almost tripped on one of the tripods of the lights because it was getting too crowded inside the studio.
    In the most annoyed and irritated voice I ever spoke in, I shouted "ANY NON ESSENTIAL PERSON IN THE ROOM, PLEASE GET OUT"
    And then everybody looked at me. Behind me was the executive assistant of the whole production company. She wasn't essential to the shoot. But she was way beyond the chain of command for me to relay orders to 😂

    About 2 years ago I was asked to film a concert. Nothing special, just camera on a tripod. I decided that I want two angles and at the time didn't have much equipment. I took my low end Canon and a very bad Nikon. When I reviewed the footage, Nikon's white balance was extremelly warm and the canon had stopped recording because I didn't have a memory card fast enaugh. I remember trying to edit the footage by taking random parts from the concert and filling the blanks.
