Beautiful Old World Monkey – Cherry Crowned Mangabey
Spend some time in contemplation with this beautiful Old World Monkey the Cherry Crowned Mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus)
AKA: Red Capped Mangabey, Collared Mangabey or the White Collared Mangabey
An endangered species that is hunted for food and is threatened by severe habitat loss.
Filmed with the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera (BMPCC) 6K G2 and the Canon EF 70-300 L IS USM lens. Indoor lighting.
Spring In The Park. Nature, shot in Blackmagic RAW – BRAW
Shot some nature footage this spring in and around some parks local to me.
A variety of shots including macro and long telephoto.
Shot in Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) using: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera – BMPCC 6K G2 Blackmagic Video Assist 12G 5 inch connected to the Panasonic S1 & S5. Lenses: Panasonic 24-105, Sigma 150-600mm (L Mount), Tamron Adaptall 2 90mm Macro (72B).
First test: Sigma 100-400 EF. BMPCC 6K G2. Hanningfield Reservoir during insect swarm.
Took a trip out with the Sigma 100-400mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens (Canon EF) mounted on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 for a first test.
Spent an hour at Hanningfield reservoir in Essex during an insect swarm at Easter. We believe the insects were Winter Gnats.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC) 6K G2 – First test shots
First time out with the BMPCC 6K G2. Shot using legacy Tamron Adaptall lenses:
Adaptall 2 70-210mm (46A)
Adaptall 2 80-210mm (103A)
Adaptall 2 90mm Macro (72B)
The first thing that impresses is how well this camera captures colour and how relatively easy it is to edit BRAW files in Davinci Resolve. I’ve been shooting with the Panasonic S1 and the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G 5 inch recording monitor also using the BRAW codec. There is a difference between the two versions of BRAW that is now plain to see, the BMPCC files are much smoother to edit and playback on the PC and the colour science is very different.
I’m unsure about where to go with lenses in the future when shooting with the BMPCC but for now my trusty legacy Tamron Adaptall lenses are filling the gap.
The Bird Man of The Marsh
Took the Panasonic S1 and Sigma 150-600mm Sports out for a couple of hours for the first time this year.
Footage captured mostly at Marsh Farm and Beeleigh in Essex.
Some footage from this and my other videos may be available to licence at: https://www.pond5.com/artist/stockvideomedia
Panasonic S 24-105mm f4.0 lens. Photo samples from first day out.
Took the Panasonic S5 out with my new lens, the Panasonic S 24-105mm f4.0.
Took lots of varied photos at different focal lengths, handheld, and I must say that I’m impressed. This is a sharp lens and the images speak for themselves. I tried to capture photos off subject matter that will reveal the sharpness of the lens.
This video is a slide show that shows the images at 100% crop (1:1 pixels in 4K) and also in their entirety. Basic info regarding focal length, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed is included.
A look at Clacton-on-Sea with the Panasonic S1 & Blackmagic RAW.
First outing with the Blackmagic Video Assist 5″ 12G HDR Monitor/Recorder. Shot in 5.9K RAW (5888×3312)) at 12:1 fixed compression with a resulting data rate of approximately 71 MBPS which is just over 14 seconds per Gigabyte.
All footage captured to an Integra 512gb UHS-1 SD card good for just under two hours of recording at 12:1 compression. The card is good for 180MBPS read and 150MBPS write in A2 mode but only good for about 90MBPS write in the Video Assist due to UHS-1 limits so it’s only good for 12-1 compression.
Shot with the Panasonic S1 & Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens.
We enjoyed our visit to Clacton-On-Sea in October 2022 and we were lucky to experience beautiful weather. The cooler October air and the bright sun brought a few headaches as the resulting heat haze rising from the sandy beaches caused a fair amount of distortion and Image softening on some shots which I hope doesn’t spoil your enjoyment.
I had a bit of fun with some FX in a couple of places so please excuse me!
