Udsigten // Views from "The View"
3 years ago
This was first of all a test of CineMode. CineMode is supposed to be the way to go for better ease of colorgrading. However, I feel that using CineMode makes my footage look extremely dull - even after colorgrading. It might just be me, but I find that CineMode makes it harder to focus with a 35mm adapter as well - probably due to the lack of contrast. I had to add a lot of contrast before I was happy with the result.
'Udsigten' is Danish for 'The View'. It's the second highest spot on the island of Fyn where I live. At 129 meters or 423 feet, it's just 2 meters or 7 feet behind the leading hill :) Udsigten is located in Vissenbjerg. A small town on central Fyn.
The view from 'The View' is pretty nice. You can see quite far.
The music is by an American folk band named Trapezoid who live - and write music about - the western part of Virginia. I heard them live at the high school in Warrenton, Virginia way back in early 1994. The concert was part of a protest against Disney who at the time were planning a new Disneyland near Manassas, Virginia. The rural beauty and themes of the music fit the landscape a lot, I think. The mentality of the rural Virginians' match that of these rural Danes :) It's all about living with nature and being free.

I, too, have played with Cinemode and agree it's way too dull and lacking in contrast. I was hoping for some incredible technological epiphany but was left decidely underwhelmed. So I'll stick with the standard modes, though do quite like the Vivid effect setting.
I have to say that I'm amazed at how dull, generally, colours are straight from the camera, and how post processing CC has become a required task.
I've just downloaded it and have to say wow :) Very nice plug-in and so simple to use. I might try another one with CineMode...
Thanks to your Flickr photos, I have come to know that there is such a product as "Hoodman".
It was just something I needed.
By the way, don't you feel insecure about letting Letus35's lens mount support the whole weight of such a heavy lens?
The Letus35's lens mount is pretty strong, so I'm not affraid. Even if the Allen screws come loose, the mount will not fall off. However, I have been thinking about getting a support that will go on the rods and hold the lens.
Why do you use a DOF adapter for long shots where everything is in focus? You may be better off not to use it for those shots as the footage may be more crisp vs. the Letus ground glass.
