Anamorphic Panoramas | Nikon F4S

Anamorphic photography can be considered an advanced photography technique as it involves shooting photos with unconventional lenses and the post production work requires the photographer to de-squeeze the images. In today's video, Sathya has tried to execute his idea of shooting anamorphic panoramas with a film camera using his trusty Nikon F4S and a Blazar Nero Anamorphic 1.5X adapter. The camera first captures squeezed images on to the film. Film is then developed and scanned. Scanned images are then desqueezed in photoshop to achieve an anamorphic look with a panoramic format of 2.25:1.

What was your favourite outtake?

[@VincentPerryJr]

'I think that's enough' lol

[@villegas24]

Finally someone trying a new idea. I love when original content hits RUclips after all the repetitive content we get these days

[@SathyaPeacock]

Ah thank you! That means a lot 👊🏽

[@arturors30]

Wow. I have a Nikon f100 and the 50mm 1.8. Always wanted to shoot anamorphic. This amazing!

[@SathyaPeacock]

Ah you gotta try it! It’s great fun :) thanks for watching

[@ribsy]

Glad you think so man 👊🏽

[@clarhettcoalfield3616]

This is a remarkable lesson learned, that being - even an old dog like me can learn something new and wonderful. Thank you.

[@KeigoMoriyama]

Nice video! Which adapter are you using?

[@SathyaPeacock]

Hi! Thank you :) it was the Blazar Nero 1.5X adapter

[@KeigoMoriyama]

@@SathyaPeacock thanks!

[@AndrewJacksonSE]

I’ve been meaning to try this myself, but couldn’t justify buying an anamorphic lens just for this. So I’ve been using a cheap anamorphic on my iPhone.

[@SathyaPeacock]

Hi Andrew! Yeah I wouldn’t have done it either and iPhone cameras are super powerful anyway

[@AndrewJacksonSE]

@@SathyaPeacock I have been considering getting a used Sigma DP1 Quattro as that has a built in xpan like aspect ratio (intended for use as a directors viewfinder for framing / scouting I think). Sure it is digital and isn’t using the whole sensor but being able to compose at the right ratio is the key for me. Otherwise I’d write some notes and crop afterwards. In the meantime I’ve been using a Lomo Belair with a 35mm back - but the lenses are plastic fantastic so the results have that lomo vibe.

[@SathyaPeacock]

@@AndrewJacksonSE I didn’t know that! That’s cool. And never heard of the Belair before; just googled, looks sick 👌🏽

[@SathyaPeacock]

And Lomography has gotta be my fav company for how accessible & fun they make photography.

[@Sam-uw7pw]

What lens were used for those cinematic BTS shots?

[@SathyaPeacock]

Hi, I assume you’re referring to the ‘Photographs’ section; all shot with the sigma 16mm f1.4 contemporary series.
