Thanks! 🙌🙌🙌

Thanks mom! ❤️❤️❤️

Hahahaha! So true!

Yup. It's a medium format Phase one. Even more DOF than a full frame 35MM sensor.

Hund Redfire it's the focal length, but it's really the combination of the distance from the sensor to the subject. You can create the same framing closer to the sunbject with a longer lens= shallow DOF. A long lens, large sensor and close to the subject creates the narrow DOF. All things being the same, framing with a larger sensor will create a more shallow DOF.

I get my balls busted all the time for being paid by Fuji to push their cameras... which I'm not paid by Fuji to push their cameras... so I put some gaff tape on my Fuji, called it a Sony, and went about my day. :) Cheers, Zack

Zack Arias at 8:55 when i heard you were shooting with a Sony Z100s, I hopped on Bing to see if it was a camera I had never heard of. It wasn't till about the 3rd or 4th retype before I facepalmed and realized I should of just used Google.

Simply beacuse 4k is over rated and not exactly needed.

4k is mostly just hype. And good IPS ones cost a ton. The TN ones that are $600 aren't very good for photo editing etc.

True that

EVERYONE points! :)

Jared Polin is a douche bag tho.. lol.

Hello Donald . Thank you for making you point so politely and respectfully . I still stand by what I have said , it is not difficult to make precise focus on the eyes and use an appropriate dof , even snapseed can bring out the life in a persons face and so can a used old nikon d3000 , as for light , well soft n natural is nothing less than wonderful and it can be had at a window and bounced back in with a soft reflector , we do not need equipment like that to make just as good a picture , at the end of the day it was nothing special compared to what I see from many people let alone a pro .

Thank you so much Don for coming back to me over my amateur and simple comments and for doing so with so much respect and explanation . I only have simple equipment , far from imac and further from print so I see your point of view . I guess I am just looking at things from the perspective of the man with very little who has to make do , it can be a valid perspective though but in this instance perhaps my critique has been to harsh , and for your kind explanation I kindly offer my sincere thanks . Please keep in touch and share both our work and opinion's , for that I would be grateful . Allan .

Allan Sutherland As Donald stated, you're seeing an image in a very compressed 1080 video on KZfaq. The beauty of photography is there are SO many ways to approach a photograph. Dark and moody. Bright and light. Tons of shadows. None at all. I started this faces and spaces project and decided on this beauty dish + white background for every portrait I shot. I wanted the final project to be very consistent with the headshot and then vary from space to space but I shot the spaces with the same focal length and available light only so there is still some consistency. You can't say though "he should have been shot this way or that way." You can say "He could have been shot this way or that way." And you'd be right. And it may have been a better photo than the on white headshot. Lastly... I shot the Phase not for dynamic range but for sharpness, shallow DoF, and the AMAZING print quality these files give me. The Phase shines in print. Heads and shoulders above any DSLR offering. Large prints sing with this camera. I want that quality when I go to print with this. It's a good discussion to have. The last rebuttal I have to your comment is thinking of me as a "top pro". Dan Winters is a top pro. Gregory Heisler is a top pro. Platon is a top pro. Mary Ellen Mark is a top pro. I'm a professional photographer.. yes. Top? No. Highly followed on social media? Yes. Top pro? No. Not yet. Maybe in another 15 or so years. Maybe. Cheers, Zack

Thank you for your kind , polite and enlightening reply Zack Arias . I do appreciate it that you have taken the time to reply , I would say humbled . It is a fascinating subject as I view it as an art form and for my part and pleasure the most interesting studys come from history to a far greater extent than technology and modern styles , I also find it interesting to learn from the history of painting too and wondered if Steve Mccurry was a big fan of Rembrant or if the light /shadow and colour in some of his work is a combination of the characteristics of kodachrome and his chosen expoure . Anyway for all this searching through history and in view of the limitations of a camera/optics or perhaps I should say the physics of optics have and how our brains "look" at a 2d image I have decided on black and white minimalism as my chosen path , easy for the mind to "get" , less easy to do . Thank you once again Zack and if you can spare a mo , please keep in touch . Kind Regards . Allan Sutherland .
