The wide city shots like 0:26 always take my breath away. Also I never get tired of hearing this track, I'm trying to remember if you've used it in a film yet.

Wow. Great Night Videos. Do you use ISO4000? I find that the Dual ISO is at 4000 for the A1. I have the same camera and len and wondered how it performs at night. Thanks.

...I am AMAZED at how sharp the Tam 35-150 is!! I heard and read a lot about it but honestly wasn't interested in it; now I'm going to have to take a look and rent one. Also, how did you go about editing the 8K footage? I've found that I have zero problems uploading 8K A1 footage straight out of camera to Youtube - it uploads quickly, but it bogs down whenever I try to upload content straight out of my Ninja V+ ... Thanks for the video and hope to see more A1/A1+Tamron footage!

Excellent video. What is the music you used?

I got vibes from Bladerunner and Heat from this. Thanks for sharing.

Your shots here are wonderful and blend so well with the music. The shot at 1:40 is so impressive, holding the foreground lamplight while retaining amazing detail in the sky. I was wondering how you found working with the Ninja in Prores raw? I've rented it for use with my A1 and was impressed, but I also noticed fairly consistent aliasing (on brick buildings, cars, shirts, etc.) Have you experienced this and do you see noticeable improvement over the internal recording due to the raw output? L.A. at night is unlike any other city, great work!

Nice. The music is extraordinary. I wonder if you prefer the Sony or the Komodo.

[alanmarino]

All the right elements - camera, lens, resolution and your eye. Be careful out there in the jungle at night!

[julianfort]

Very nice. Do you prefer the Sony A1 to the Komodo?

[theorncampbell]

Holy dynamic range! You are a master of your craft. Pretty much every shot in this video is gorgeous!

I'm very happy with my Tamron telephoto zooms, but I don't have any experience with the wide aperture and wide angle models? I'm fairly certain that my next lens purchase will be the 15mm-30 2.8. Do you have any experience with that lens? Did you shoot these with the lens wide open?
Cheers!

All very BLADE RUNNER noir-ish, minus the rain (and we need the rain!) and the cool flying cars. 2022 sux.
