Alone in Paris

Being alone in a big city is something rare, but what would happen if you could visit a totally empty version of Paris ?

This personal project was born after i spent too much time in a crowded subway ... what if everyone was gone, what if i had Paris for myself ... what if ... and why not ?

We all heard the phrase "Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated" ... so i wanted to show exactly what it feels like in this video.

For the curious this video was shot during week days, around 2PM and nothing was shot early in the morning.

It took me almost 2 month  erasing every one in Paris and countless houres in front of my screen.

New web serie : The Weird Cheap Lens

Starting a new Video show on Youtube about the Weird Cheap lenses you can use on your Mirrorless cameras.  

first episode is about the huge and heavy Vivitar 20mm f/3

Shooting a Video with a 1880 Lens

I love Lenses .... i mean i am obsessed with them, but i also like weird stuff, so naturally i mixed the two and wanted to experiment. Why just focusing on the ultra expensive electronic lenses when you can do incredible things with just old glass ...

the glass is the key to image beauty, not the internal motors.

I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this episode we will teste a 1880 large format camera lens, one of the first lens with internal iris

lens

After mounting it with some cardboard pieces to keep it tightly blocked in a m42 macro tube, and then screw it on different macro m42 tubes and to a m42 helicoidal ring that was screwed to a M42 to Nex Adaptor ring then to the Sony A7II , the lens was able to focus.

The Lens is incredibly sharp for a 136 years old simple metallic lens, from my test it's even sharper than most of my modern canon lenses, the results are amazing ... but it also gives some strange lens flares and light leaks that are pretty dreamy ( some would say it's horrible )

Check the video for the results.

So does it takes good photos too ?

Here are some exemples of what the lens mounting is giving for photos.

The Bokeh Awakens

Previously on the " The Weird Lens Challenge " we saw how to shoot with a 180° fish eye from the end of 60's on a Sony A7II I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this 5th episode we will hack an Helios 44-2 lens to get customized bokeh on Sony A7II

First you need to open the back part of the lens, unscrew it and see what size is the diaphragm, then create some cool shapes on thin black cardboard, and put one inside the lens over the diaphragm. Screw back the back part and you are ready to shoot.

The Lens is sharp as hell, and famous for it's swirly bokeh the shapes you create on paper , give a incredible look at your shots, this modification will give a pretty rare look for a cinematic project.

this Lens not rare, but i was lucky to find it only for 5 euros.

Check the video for the results.
