$20 Lens packed with nostalgia
In a world where the best lenses are perfect and the low to mid range lenses are good for what you pay for, this $20 lens is the definition of "plastic fantastic".
Made entirely of plastic, with no mechanism for adjusting focus or aperture, this lens is just packed with so many flaws that it stands out. Sharpness constrained to the center, heavy vignette, intense chromatic aberration, halos, and more.

Postcards from Manila
Просмотров 63Месяц назад
I was supposed to do a shoot around Manila, but sadly none of the models I usually work with were available. I decided to use the time to walk around and just take photos, enjoy coffee. I'm very comfortable being alone. Don't get me wrong, loneliness does tend to creep in from time to time. But being able to move about freely and not worrying about anyone else but one's self... it is very liber...
Romanticize Life
Просмотров 77Месяц назад
It seems there is a lot of discussion about videos on romanticizing one's life. Personally I don't see that people who post photos and videos are romanticizing their life but are documenting it. To romanticize is to take something negative and spin it into something it isn't, which is why romanticize is followed by negative words, like romanticizing poverty, romanticizing violence, and romantic...
DJI Action 4 Minimum Focus Distance Fixed
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
I've been looking for a way to fix the minimum focus distance on the DJI Action 4 and this would work for the Action 5 as well. I looked at custom lens modifications and lens modifications, and I didn't think that the solution would be so simple. A 49mm filter adapter for the DJI Action 4 and a 49mm 2 macro filter. Macro filters when used on camera lenses would reduce the minimum focus distance...

The past year has been a struggle for me, and just before working on this video I've had a bout of existential dread that made me rethink my life and reframe my perspective. For most people, life will be a number of struggles. But that doesn't mean it can't be amazing and filled with such good memories. I have a renewed appreciation for the people in my life, the people I meet, and all the good...
Affordable Tilt Lens | TTArtisan 50mm f1.4 Tilt Lens
Просмотров 2934 месяца назад
Having the ability to tilt your lens is nothing new. Some photographers even 'freelens' where the lens is not mounted to the camera but held freely to be able to tilt the lens. The TT Artisan 50mm f1.4 is great as it is an affordable lens to be able to get these interesting perspectives without breaking the bank. Plus you have an amazing f1.4 lens.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to share some personal thoughts with you all that I turned into a video. I've been struggling and feeling lost with my photography, and I realize many of us may struggle in some shape or form may it be with the pursuit of things we are passionate about or with life in general. You are not alone. Just keep pushing forward and do what you can. Cheers!

The TTArtisan 50mm f2 is probably the most affordable 50mm lens out there that is available for most if not all camera mounts. But does the image quality stack up? In this video we look at what the lens can do and if it is worth getting.

I decided to document just a regular day in my life in 2024. I feel like I should be doing more of this, documenting my days and controlling the narrative of my life so that I'd have awesome memories to look back on. This was all shot on a DJI Osmo Action 4. I'm loving how handy this thing is for both video and even photo.

I'm wanting to do more journal type vlogs that still have photography at it's heart. Let me know what you...

Hello and welcome back. In this video we are doing a shoot with the 50mm f2 and 50mm f1.4 tilt from TTArtisan. This is not a review but a real world use of the lenses to see what kind of images we can create. These 50mm lenses from TTArtisan are all manual lenses with no electronics in them. That means no autofocus, no corrections for distortions or chromatic aberration since there isn't a prof...

A Day in My Life | Cinematic Vlog Shot on DJI Osmo Action 4

I recently got the DJI Osmo Action 4 and it has inspired me to do a cinematic voiceless vlog of how a day in my life would go. The thumbnail was a photo captured using the DJI Osmo Action 4 and all footage (except photos from the photoshoot). Dlog M LUT used is from DJI themselves. This was shot over the span of three days. The DJI Osmo Action 4 is a very capable camera, but the indoor footage ...

We are back doing another shoot, walking around Manila, and Jheymee is taking us around the spots she is familiar with. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd see I've been playing around with slow shutter speeds. This shoot was a good time to try and incorporate that into portraits. I've included a couple of examples towards the end of the video. Follow me on: paco.m.photography M...

Great work 👏, I would like to know your settings for action 4 please and any details to make the video look like your 😊
I jist have it on auto exposure, keeping the ISO at 100-800. Dlog-m for color. The lool was edited in premiere pro.
I thinking you are doing great...just keep doing what you love, you will definitely achieve what you want! All the best!
I apprecite it. Happy new year!
Woah!! ❤❤ Twist Lick and Dunk LOL
🤣 full disclosure, I saw someone else do it (Clever Ghost on RUclips) and just had to do my version of it.
Very cool
It's an interesting lens if you don't mind the imperfections of the optics. 😊
Pwede po humingi ng link, pls. Thank you! 😊
This is where I got mine. s.lazada.com.ph/s.oztBu
@PacoM. Thank you! ❤️
Glad to help.
Great little vlog. After 40+ years of photography I still feel the same often! Interested in the Action 4 and wondering about your processing - looked like lots of halation and glow around you in some shots and lots of softer highlights etc? Did you use a film emulation or other plugin? Thx
I'm glad you liked the video. I did some editing on this video to get that halation and bloom effect. No plugins. I added an adjustment layer and channel blur for the reds to get the halation effect. Then a duplicated video layer with luma key and gausian blur to add that bloom to the highlights. 😊
Can someone post a link to purchase this? Thanks
Great job as always, Paco. ❤❤❤
Arigathanks gozaimuch! 😅
Awesome brother
Thanks man. 😅 I really don't know how to handle compliments like this. 🤣
@ Bro I live in Australia, I have been to Manila once, if I get a chance to travel again . I will definitely meet you . I would love to do a collab with you ❤️🤩
Hey man, sure. My grandparents were from Australia. Long story. But yeah man, I'm open to that sort of stuff.
@ awesome 🤩 we will definitely do it soon . May be if you are up for places like Boracay . We can do that as well 🤩🤩
I am following you in instagram now
Love it! Keep it up, Bestie.
Thank you for all the support. 😊
You deserve a lot of subscribers Buddy. I Subscribed ❤
Thanks! Glad you like the content enough to subscribe. 😁
@@PacoM. it’s awesome 🙌. I am trying to become a vlogger as well 😂. I could see the efforts that you are putting.
Thanks, very helpful! This is the main reason I never upgraded from my Hero 7, which stays in focus as close as 7 inches. I like to video things at retro electronics events, so I need to get pretty close.
Glad it was helpful. There are stronger versions that are +2, +5, all the way to +10 so you can get really close.
Thanks a lot. Paco. I've just shot a video. And after I put in on the laptop for editing. I found I was out of focus the WHOLE time. I was about half meter away from the action 5.
Glad I could help. Action cameras do be like that. This isn't a perfect fix but it does the job with the Action 4. I don't have an Action 5 but let me know if you try this setup.
Thank you so much, please put the name of the product or links from Aliexpress 🙏
i need some references about action 4 camera and i found your video and i'm enjoy it, inspiring me to make same video like this with my wife, sorry for my english, hahahha
I'm glad you like the video and I was able to help. The DJI Action 4 is truly an amazing camera capable of so much.
Please let me know where to buy. Or maybe help us buy from you 👍😁
It's something I got locally. I'm not sure what it would come up as on like Amazon or other websites. I'll be making another video better showing the adapter and filter.
Thanks for sharing this video, it helped me with the algorithm! ❤ Man as a hobby, photography is a beautiful practice ❤
I'm curious how it helped you with the algorithm? I'm glad you appreciate it. Photography is an amazing art. I find it therapuetic to just walk and take photos. 😊
Kaya mas maganda yung osmo pocket 3 ,me tap to focus
To each their own. I found the ruggednes and the horizon lock more useful at thhe time. I can always use my Pocket 2 if I need the mechanical stab or the a7iii if I need footage that pulls focus. 😊
I found your video cause I´ve just bought an Action 4 camera. It is a very inspiring video and much more helpful than the multiple random review videos on RUclips. Thank you so much.
Thanks! 😊 I'm glad you liked the video.
nice work bro
Thanks. Just learning and trying.
This feeling of being lost and not finding your direction in life is something most of us have experienced I am sure. Thanks for verbalising it through this short video. ❤
Thanks. I know some people feel it but don't talk about it. And that's ok too.
Hi, awesome idea with the macro lens. I've found a few on various plaforms like ebay but I'm confused about the adapter. Is it a 37mm to 49mm step up ring? From what I read the DJI Action 4 lens is 32mm wide. Would be great to get the right dimension. Thanks ✌🏼 Edit: I've found a 30.5mm to 49mm adapter. Maybe this is the right one?
Hey. Its actual a DJI Action 4 filter adapter. It doesn't have any indicated mm. It just fits over the lens protector of the DJI, then it has a 49mm filter thread on the other end. I shpuld probably put a better video together showing how it all fits together. 😅
Great, with this info I've found the adapter on eBay. Thanks for your video and infos!
Glad to help. Cheers!
I've got another question. With the 49mm adaptor and lens, aren't you blocking the color temperature sensor at the bottom?
That is a very good question. It does get in the way of the sensor, but I haven't had trouble with it since I got (since this video). I'll be shooting more with it and testing it.
Paco coming through with the game changers!
Just glad I found a solution to a problem a lot of people seem to be talkinf about and glad to share it. 😁
Dope. Thanks. Can you post links to the step up ring and macro adapter lens? Thanks!
Hey man. I could but its something local here in the Philippines. I can't seem to find a match on amazon for the adapter.
for real?
Yup. I was playing around with the idea but wasn't sure if I should get a +1, +2, +4, or +10 filter. After a bit of looking around, I guestimated a +2 filter would work, and it did. You can't get macro shots with it as getting too close would still be out of focus, but I can now get reasonably close to the camera and still be in focus. I actually think its sharper with the filter.
How did you get the Action 4 to go from out of focus to in focus at 0:07 ?
Some of the b-role was shot on an a7iii. That shot wasn't on the Action 4. However is possible to add the out of focus blur in editing. 😅 I am looking into a couple of adapters to to help with the focus distance.
Yes!!!!!!! Welcome back, Paco! 💖
Never really left. 😁
I feel lose in life 😢
Its normal to feel that way. We just have to pick ourselves up when we are ready and keep pushing forward.
"Instead of striving to be rich and famous. Maybe we should strive more to feel content." I love the photos you took brother! Awesome! Ofc, the short movie too! Well done!
Thanks! I'm glad people out there appreciiate the effort I put into the video as well as the photos. 😁
@@PacoM. ofc...keep at it sir! 👌💯
Great video thank you!
I'm glad ypu think so. Thanks.
My feelings are exactly like yours, and i want to buy action 4 too.....
Its ok to feel lost at times. Its also ok to buy an Action 4. 😁
wait how did you do the bokeh?
At which part?
@@PacoM. Cafe
Some of the cafe scenes were shot using the a7iii.
how you do the close focus with action 4 ?
Unfortunately you can't. The Action 4 has a fixed focus, with a minimum focus distance of 40cm (15 inches). If I need a closeup, what I do is shoot in 4k, then crop in as needed in editing. Or I use a different camera.
Thanks for sharing your art. Love the photos you took here, and such great storytelling and message as well! Keep creating, my friend!
I'm glad there are people out there that appreciate it. Thank you so much. 😊
I really thought he has so many subscribers but only little? His video is so beautiful and so memorable
Thanks for the kind words. 😊
Nice man! Which app do u use for editing?
Thanks! 😁 I use Adobe Premiere Pro.
@@PacoM. what ur DJI action 4 Setting like 4K 60 and auto ?
I use 4k and 2k depending on the need for horizon lock. 24 fps and auto but limited to 100-800 ISO on 4k and 100-400 ISO on 2k.
@@PacoM. Appreciate 👍💕
Good video!
Thanks! 😁
You will always find your back home to your heart. That’s what matters the most.
Thanks for sharing this and being so vulnerable 👏 Those doubts can push us to improve our skills and keep improving, but they should never let us question our worth! Incredible shots and incredible video - you got this!
Thank you for the kind words. Awesome to see your comments in my videos every now and then. 😍
great content!!! good job man! it is ok to feel lost, that's why finding yourself again often feels rewarding. Keep pushing forward. :)
Thanks man. 😁
Hey man your video will definitely contribute onto my cam choice . Which country are you from?
I'm glad the video helped. The. DJI Action 4 is a really versatile camera.
He's from Philippines ,I wonder why he didn't answer that 😂
@jedunboxing4127 I just prefered not to. Seemed irrelevant to do so.
I'm planning to buy this one for random and casual vlogs, naghahanap ako ng mga vlogs and video from PH buti nalang nakita ko video nyo. Mukhang mapapabili na talaga ako huhu
btw anong camera settings nyo jan sir yugn default lang ? or naka D-log?
Shot on dlog then color graded. One thing to note, the DJI Action 4 has a minimum focus distance of 0.4 meters (1.3ft). Anything closer than 0.4 meters out of focus. Everything beyond 0.4 meters is in focus.
@@PacoM. thank you sir sa info 😊
Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Paco 🤩 So much great info here.
Thank you for the amazing music available on your platform that breathes a little bit more life into the videos small creators like me make. 😊
sir are you using the osmo action camera 4 here? and dun sa vacation nio ng fam mo sa ocean park in days? if yes any tips sa indoors and settings and stuffs? just discovered your vlog and its ao chill and pro.
I am using the Osmo Action 4 here. The ocean park video, I was using the Osmo Pocket 2. For indoors shoot at 4k with ISO no more than 800. The noise is reasonable at ISO 800 but anymore than that, it looks terrible. Always look for the light. 😊
i want to do no face aesthetic vlog. pero i dont know if pwede ba ito na cam kasi ang laki ng frame na nakukuha iniisp ko if ang setting rocksteady+ tapos zoom ko possible kaya? para hindi kuha ung face lagi
You can. Rocksteady+ does crop in a bit. But if you use horozin lock or horizon balance, the crop is more significant. You could also shoot in 2k or 4k and then crop when editing.
@@PacoM. thanks for the tip. gusto ko kasi to pasok sa budget yung cam
It's a solid camera. It perfect for video but also capable in taking travel photos. Pribably the best camera out there in terms value to features ratio.
Nice color grade. Can you share tips
Yeah sure. Shot on d-log 10 bit to make the most out of it. Applied the d-log m to rec709 lut which you can get from the DJI website. Applied a teal and orange lut which I dont remember if I made or got from somewhere. Other than that I'm just shooting eother 2k or 4k footage at 24 fps. Shutter has to be kept no lower 1/100 for the stabilization to work, and ISO is on auto but set to be no higjer than 400 at 2k and no higher than 800 at 4k.
Really good video, are there any accessories that you would suggest for the osmo action 4? Like a nd filter, or an external mic. Again really calming vid, ty!
Hey. I didn't really use any other accessories with it except for a mini tripod. Everything, even the audio for the voice over was recorded with the DJI.
Paco can I ask a couple questions? 1. Did you shoot in D-log M, or Standard 10 bit the whole time? 2. Did you shoot in Dewarp? Or wide? 3. Did you plan the “script”(your voice overs) before or after your trip? Galing talaga ng story telling its like i’m watching a little bit of Life Of Riza lol I want to know how I can plan to narrate my vlogs like this. With the music and all is so good too. Salamat!
Sure. 1. D-log M is in 10 bit. Thats what I used the whole time. 2. I used horizon lock for the stabilization which defaults to narrow/dewarp. 3. I do write out my script and plan which shots match it. 😊
Nice video footage
Thanks. 😁
Dude i loooooove this. I’m planning on a 1 week roadtrip and I envisioned myself to make something exactly like this. The story telling, the vlogging, the photos, and the narrating/voice over - its so good!! I literally bought an Action4 yesterday too. Crazy how i found this as perfect inspiration. Thanks kuya!
Hey! Glad you liked the video. Yeah the Action 4 is amazing all around camera for videos and even photos.
Yes! I love it! ❤️ My station is lucky to have cameo 🤣
Next time you make a cameo. 😁
