Camera settings? |
How to do the camera settings for a..lets say.. car photography, to achieve something like this: http://www.cg-cars.com/forum/gallery/fil... what's the camera settings? there are many types of film gate (16mm Theatrical, Super 16mm, 35mm Academy, 35mm TV Projection, 35mm Full Aperture, 35mm 1.85 Projection, 35mm Anamorphic, 70mm Projection, VistaVision, and Imax), i'm not really sure which one i should use to achieve maximum effect. and there are things like focal length, film aspect ratio, I'm not a photographer, but a cg artist (i know that the cameras in 3d softwares can't match the real world cameras, but it's best to always referring to the real world) so if any photographer would help me, it will be great. As Tyler already pointed out, the terms you mention are from motion picture photography. After looking at the picture in your link, there are a number of things that come to mind. First of all, it was probably shot with a view camera of some kind, possibly a 4x5 or a similar camera with a digital back. I say this because the picture is sharp from front to back, indicating that some control was gained over the plane of focus. For an object this large to be sharp from front to back means that a small aperture is not enough, generally. So a camera with tilt, swing and shift was probably used. Also, with larger formats, the image can stay sharp despite a small aperture. With smaller formats, diffraction causes images from very small apertures to lose sharpness. With 35mm, f/16 is about the max. With DX format digital SLRs, it's about f/11. With larger format cameras, you can use f/32 or even f/64. In terms of the settings, I'd guess that this was shot at f/32, and as Tyler also pointed out, the shutter speed doesn't matter much because strobes were used instead of continous lighting. Medium-and large-format cameras often use leaf shutters which will sync to high speeds (1/500th is not uncommon) but this is not often needed unless you have longer focal lengths and moving subjects like blowing hair, quickly moving models, etc. Source(s): Amateur and semi-pro photographer http://www.karlwinkler.com I am slighly confused by your question because the photo you linked to is a still, while the films you listed are movie films. I will attempt to answer anyway. The settings for the shot were high f-stop, i.e. f/8 or above most likely due to the large depth of field and overall sharpness, shutter speed is relatively unimportant because there were extra strobes (big flashes) used to light the vehicle. The trickiest part of getting a shot like this is the lighting. Lighting takes years to master. I don't nearly have it down yet. My eyes |
