Random Shots Vol.1

Had a spare afternoon so I decided to go in the beautiful city of Piacenza to take some shots of the tipical "passeggiata". Lens used were the Leica Summicron M 90mm plus the Vid-Atlantic Anamorph Filter, the Dog Shidt Optiks FF58 and the Sony SEL16F28 plus the Wide Angle Adapter.
Very very very different lenses but at the end I think that they can work well together. The Leica becomes a 135mm on the FS700 plus the Anamorph filter it is really a cinema-like lens! The FF58 is perfect for portraits and for it's bokhen effect meanwhile the Sony Sel16f28 is perfect for establishment shots but you have to set it at f8, wider is not sharp and for reduce the "video" image that this lens give it is useful to reduce the contrast in post (at least a 20% in PremierePro).
When you start shooting slowmo you cannot stop doing it! It's additive! Everything looks cooler in slomotion but it's ok when you capture detalis, so you have to use tele lens!
And here it is:

Grading was done with the presets of ImpulZ, I think that return you the perfect illusion to watch a film instead of a digital camera.

During the shots I didn't notice the highlights burns of the lanternpost at 1:01, I'm pretty sure that is due to the AVCHD compression, in the future I hope to afford a Odyssey7Q and record it in ProRes!

See you on the next post!
