URBINO
Urbino is a walled city in the Marche region in Italy, south-west of Pesaro, a World Heritage Site notable for a remarkable historical legacy of independent Renaissance culture, especially under the patronage of Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino from 1444 to 1482. The town, nestled on a high sloping hillside, retains much of its picturesque medieval aspect, only slightly marred by the large car parks below the town. It hosts the University of Urbino, founded in 1506, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Urbino. Its best-known architectural piece is the Palazzo Ducale, rebuilt by Luciano Laurana.
Many great artists of the past were born in Urbino, including Bramante, Federico Barocci (an important precursor of the Baroque style) and Raphael.

    Davvero un ottimo lavoro, impeccabile nel ritmo e nella descrizione visiva. L'uso del grandangolo dà ancora più respiro a un luogo che già per sé è grande e maestoso.
    Un lavoro 'serio'.

    Grazie giancarlo. Mi sono impegnato parecchio sia in ripresa, sia in post e, senza falsa modestia, questo ultimo "lavoro" piace tanto anche a me... :) In effetti l'aggiuntivo fa davvero un buon lavoro.
    Grazie ancora, ciao.

    Bello, mi piace un sacco.
    Spero un giorno di riuscire a fare qualcosa di simile...
    ancora complimenti
  • myksto 2 years ago
    Ne sono contento! :)
    Non penso comunque sia niente di eccezionale. Certo è che io non sono un professionista e anche solo un anno fa mi sognavo di fare una cosa simile quindi, forza e coraggio! :)
    Grazie, ciao.

    The colors and clarity of your footage are beautiful. Love the tempo and pace of it all complimented with the piano music in the background. Wonderful panoramic shots and angles. Sumamente Bello!

    why shutter set at 1/50 when you shot with many light? the camera has to close so much the lens to compensate it and you loose many detail with it at F/16 or more.

    Maybe a Neutral filter will help so much in there.
  • myksto 2 years ago
    I set the shutter at 1/50 to emulate the shutter speed in cinema cameras whose shutter is set at 1/48 (as far as I know). Iris can not reach the F/16 value bacause my camera limit is set at F/8.
    Please can you explain why I'd lose many details with those settings? Thanks.

    I will tell you by my experience in digital camera, not camcorder but it's the about the same.
    With a small sensor the lenses hits the sharpest level faster than for example 35mm sensor. With a full frame camera you will get the sharpest level at about F/8 to F/11. With a small sensor like a crop camera of 1.6x you normally get it at F/5.6 to F/8. And i "suppose" that with a very small sensor like HV20 the sharpest level has to come at about F/2.8 to F/4. Please tell me if i'm worng, not trying to talk about evidence, i'm trying to learn.

    So if you stop the shuttle to 1/50 without a ND filter the camcorder goes so high closing the lens and i think you loose many sharpness but you win DOF (with small sensor this is not so important).

    If you stop your camera at 1/50 and F/8 you never find images so bright? i see in you videos that is not your problem, i see there are more dark than bright, so maybe i'm wrong don't know.
  • myksto 2 years ago
    First of all: you probably don't that Canon HV20 has a big 1/2.7 cmos sensor and not a tipical 1/6 consumer ccd camera sensor. I'm used to stop shutter at 1/50 but never stop iris at 1/8 so camera can choose which iris setting is the best. The footage I record with those settings are not originally dark but they're really bright. I used to add contrast and darken the images because I would like to add a cine-look to my movies.
    Now, what I'd like to know is about the loss of definition you claimed. Apart from the darkness of my videos, is it really true that shooting in daylight, openspace, I lose resolution with shutter set at 1/50???
    Thanks, bye.

    Hi, i know that the sensor of HV20 is big but not big compared with a 35mm sensor, or with a 1.6x camera sensor. It's 2.7x times smaller so i think like it said before that the max sharpness for your optics will be at about F/3-F/4 and at about F/8 (you say it's the maximum that can close) it will be the softness point like in full open lens.

    I have a full frame camera, and usually my lens hits the sharpness level at about F/9-F/11, and when lens are so close at F/22 loses so much sharpness and converts it to Depth of field.

    If you shot at shutter 1/50 and F/8, F/7...etc... in a bright day first you will loose sharp if lens are so closed. And second, if lens are limited to F/8 and stoped at 1/50 the light that takes the sensor will be so much and you will lose information in bright zones.

    So like you say, when you normally shot outdoors you takes very bright videos that later you darken in a post process, but in my opinion it's better that you take it normal before, to avoid losing information from dark and bright.

    If you like the blur effect that 1/50 does it's better you put a light stopper with a Neutral density filter in lens to find a F/4 and 1/50 without taking very bright images. I saw that you uses polarizer, maybe it help stoping down the light too, i never used with a camera.

    Do you like the polarizer effect, please comment something about it, i'm thinking in buy one.

    thanks and see you :)
  • myksto 2 years ago
    First of all, sorry for the late but I had to gather some informations from friends about this argument.
    Well, HV20 has an automatic ND filter inside that keeps the iris from closing too much even in particolar bright light conditions; it's stops more or less at F/5.6 and in that condition image will not loose resolution and definition either, even when shutter is set at 1/50. If you have watched all my videos you should have seen they're rich in color and brightness even thought the resolution in vimeo is only 1280x720 and movies are heavily compressed.
    I also tried to set shutter to automatic setting and I noticed that most of the times the camera sets it to 1/50... :)
    I bought the polarizer filter to keep the lens safe from sun rays, reflections and because when correctly used, it gives more richness to colors that appears vivid and clearer.
    That's all for now. Bye.
