@@HEARD201 heh, fair enough! This was 2 years ago so I’ve been working on that since then!

@@TheDu567 Didn’t need a permit when I did this a couple years ago!

@@coldway thanks! I did end up shimming the 65 and 100 a bit which I think definitely helped. I think it was +.12 for the 65 (don’t remember how much the 100 was.)

@@EricontheTrail thanks! Getting up early and going in the middle of the week helps a lot to avoid crowds.

@@ianholl9100 thanks man, appreciate you watching! I’ve been pretty happy with the images I’ve been getting since moving to Sony in 2020!

@@yoshiYoishIRL I did no distortion correction at all! I did add 1.5 sharpening in Final Cut but that’s it. Thanks!

@@KevinFedde Oh wow, now that makes me wanna buy the lens even more. I was worried about the distortion at the edge. But it seems like it doesn't matter since I'm doing mostly still shots like you! Man can't wait for the 32mm to release then I'll buy the whole set. Gonna race if 32mm release early and I buy the whole set or a better competitor comes out

@@ryantish2416 it was decently easy to follow up to the saddle between Blanca and Ellingwood. Definitely less easy to follow up to Blanca and over to Ellingwood. Then there basically isn’t a trail down from Ellingwood back.

Heh, I appreciate it! It was a fun (and difficult) one to make!

@@terangikaiwhiriakemara I bought these straight from the manufacturers website. Had to pay a bit extra in import tax before I could pick them up here in NZ and such but that’s because they didn’t charge it on purchase.

@@KevinFedde thank you

It’s a nice one! Honestly I bought it at the small outdoor shop in Westcliffe Colorado before I did Humboldt peak earlier in 2021, so I don’t know the exact brand or anything.

@@KevinFeddewow, thanks for the fast response! Hopefully I can find something similar some day lol

Thanks a ton! It’s definitely my favorite shot of the video (and it took a few tries to get it right as well.)

So far so good! Still getting to grips on the focus fall off and such, but we used them for a short film shoot and they look pretty good!

@@KevinFedde That's great to hear. Would love to see your upcoming work! Wish you well!

Heh, thanks! Pretty simple test footage but I think it gets the point across.

These were the blue flare version. The flares are actually surprisingly neutral though and they take on the light color quite a bit.

Hey, I really appreciate the kind words! Definitely missing Colorado, but enjoying the new Adventure here in NZ quite a lot!

Sigma MC-11. But only really because I already had one and my Nisi PL mount adapter was taking quite a while to be delivered here to New Zealand.

Thanks!

It was pretty nice that morning in real life too!

They turned out pretty well I would say

Yep, blue flare version. It seems to pick up the light color quite a bit, though. So the sunset shots later are very warm flares.

Thanks! Really wanted to focus on composition on this one, and I think I did all right.

@@KevinFedde Well done 💪

Thanks! I wanted to really focus on the composition with this since it’s entirely shot from a tripod. I did get the full set of 45/65/100. So far I definitely like the look of them, though I’m also still working on getting the back focus correct for the lenses since I think the focus isn’t quite where it should be. Still working on learning how they work before hopefully using them on a film competition here in a couple weeks!

@@KevinFedde any lens you feel like you gravitate more to? Always interesting to hear preferences/learning curves coming from spherical. (granted i know you've used tilt shifts and other mroe specialized lenses) Also can't wait to see what you make for the cometition, keep it comig man. Glad you've kept filming in different evironments and gear and not pigeoned holed yourslef.

@@DerekAndersonMedia 3 days in I’m liking the 45 the most. I thought it would be the 65 but I am realllly liking the wide frame! Plus I think the focus is best on it. I think the main thing I have been learning is that horizontal lines are VERY important. Any slight tilt of the horizon is way more noticeable and harder to correct.

The trail up from the water tank at the top of the service road. It kind of curves around to the north of the tank before heading west up the mountain. I don’t remember the exact trail name/number since it’s been a while!

Thanks, I’m mostly pretty happy with this! And Yep, this was the whole frame. Since this was just some initial test footage I wanted to show what the full image looks like. I’ve got my shinobi set to 2.39:1 already for my next set of tests today. Thanks for watching!

Hey, no worries! 1. You are correct, the tentacle sync cable wasn’t out yet. I prefer that cable now 100% and picked up 5 of them when they came out. 2. Final Cut on my end does see the timecode data, but I found it faster to use the tentacle app to sync and export a timeline anyways than to wait for Final Cut to do the sync. 3. Yeah, same thing with the Sony BNC cable. Final Cut did see the timecode embedded but it was way faster to just use the tentacle sync app than to wait for Final Cut to sync.

@@KevinFedde hmm weird. Maybe it's because I am using a Sony s7siii they recently release timecode in through multi port. thanks for that info.

@@amidfilms989 yeah, the A7siii couldn’t input file timecode until the latest 3.0 update. Were you trying to get timecode into it via the multi-port before that? All of the stuff above I was using the FX3 and FX30.

@@KevinFedde No after the update. That’s the reason I started testing them out hoping I could sync using timecode in Final Cut. Sometimes I shoot 120 so after using the tentacle sync app in my meta data of fcpx it says it’s 29.97 even though I can still slow it down. So it’s a bit of an annoyance. Thanks for the info!

@@amidfilms989 Yeah, I don’t think there is a timecode standard for 120p. You do need to set the frame rate in the tentacle sync E to match your cameras frame rate (and your audio frame rate,) to get a good sync as well.

Fair enough.

Oh geez, I'm glad you are still with us! We were fortunate that we had a perfect day for it and the route was not too hard to follow.

Thanks for watching!

We will see how much flights cost and how in shape I am by then!

Thanks! I think this one is the best I have made!

Surprisingly steep for what it is. Glad i made it to the falls!

Happy they are being used as a reference! That’s one of the reasons I started making them

@@KevinFedde Just completed Belford! I ran short on water and had to skip Oxford. Belford was a relentless uphill hike as you show, but the views are among Colorado's best!

@@robertfindley921 hey congrats! And honestly the hike over to Oxford and back was one of the worst I have done! So demoralizing going so far down and back up and down and back up!

It looks like its the lake on the right side of the frame, correct? Its a pretty big cliff on the other side of the Ellingwood/Blanca ridge, I'm not sure if it would be 100% possible without some pretty serious climbing. I do remember looking over the ridge when I hit the large cairn before turning right to head up Blanca and it was pretty much vertical.

Thanks mate! I think it’s one of my best!

Hey, I’m really happy you liked it! I made it to hopefully be helpful for other people, glad to know it was worth it!

Thanks man!

Nice! Way more worth it at $20, I don’t think I would do it again for $120…
