Remember when I told you about forgetting the White Balance between locations? Well, here we have some images with the White Balance preset to a manual setting far irrelevant to the correct setting. In addition, you will see the effect of a polarized filter and how it makes the colors pop and the contrast to give the 3D look we all admire in similar images.
Have you seen the beautiful Time-Lapse videos, some on 4K that are all around the internet? Some have increased dynamic range which gives a spectacular effect and changes the way we see the world (in fast movement). Seeing the time passing by so quickly fitting 2 or more hours in a one minute clip is something that drew my attention, but I was always scared of the large shutter count it would need before the video length was enough to watch.
GoPro just announced their new line of cameras (along with the Karma drone) and frankly I am not that excited. The new line from GoPro is called Hero5 (no big surprises there) and it features only two cameras: a more advanced GoPro Hero5 Black and a smaller GoPro Hero5 session. That, I think, is a good sign that GoPro are getting some of their focus back and not spreading too thin on their camera range.
Today I received my EKEN H8R camera and quickly put it to test. I had no empty class 10 micro SD card, so I used my smartphone's class 10 card which was probably too fragmented. I made some initial tests taking a few videos and upgraded the firmware to "allow" 4K@30fps (yes it came with no true 30fps as advertised). But let's start at the beginning, shall we?
Usually, I don't recommend cameras for video, as a photographer's job is static and has little to do with action, but there are a few times when an independent product review just sells the product without the technicalities and specification comparison.
