Description

Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast!This week we're taking an In Focus look at flash (02:26). Is the pop-up flash dead? Here's how it happened, why it happened, when the on-camera flash aesthetic came back and what companies like Godox and Viltrox are doing about it with pocket-sized hotshoe flashguns.Then we Gear Up with the latest generation of drones that feature 360 cameras – the DJI Avata 360 and Antigravity A1 (14:48). Does this really change the game for imaging, or does it only change it for existing drone shooters?Finally, in Trouble Shooting we look at how to buy a macro lens (27:45). What do you need to be aware of, what options are available, should you buy second-hand… and could you even get away with a broken lens?⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰00:00 Whatever happened to Tetris?02:26 Pop-up flash, come back!03:35 Why did it disappear?04:15 Has high dynamic range made us lazy?05:49 Are people scared of flash?07:03 Why the resurgence? 08:50 Constant light lacks power09:30 Illuminating a distant tree10:17 Chris has a solution13:00 Viltrox Vintage Z1 Pro 14:48 360 drones 15:42 Drone meets 360 camera18:09 What’s the headset for?18:53 DJI Avata 360 & Antigravity A119:36 What’s the weight? 22:11 Let’s talk prices24:20 Omni-directional collision aid 25:12 The November Rain church 26:27 Easier to crash? 27:45 How to buy a macro lens 29:42 How to choose a macro lens30:28 Mike’s broken Tamron34:15 Telephoto lenses for close-ups?35:38 The variety just isn’t there 36:35 Some other choices39:13 You don’t need autofocus40:08 Focus peaking 41:39 Image stabilisation: yes or no?43:09 What macro did Chris just buy?Get in touch with us at:[email protected] the show in full at:youtube.com/digitalcameraworldGet all your camera news, how-tos, reviews and buying advice at:digitalcameraworld.com Hosted on Acast.
