> My other bugbear is many cameramen appear to have forgotten what a tripod is. The camera wobbling about can occasionally at to the atmosphere but most of the time it is just annoying and distracting. Again a combination of lack of skill and production values.
With projection and home displays lagging camera technology, I'd be surprised if the opposite didn't happen. You can do a lot of shake reduction with 2x the pixels you intend to keep.
Also I think a lot of the shake these days is added in post, partly to cover for production flaws and partly to add "atmosphere" as you say.
- Steve44 9y agoIt's not camera shake creating blurry images I'm talking about, it's the cameraman 'wobbling' about so the image isn't steady. The images will still be sharp, just the camera moving about a bit.
- jaggederest 9y agoAh, you mean displacing rather than rotating, yes, I see what you mean, there's no way to correct that perspective shift. Though perhaps with two cameras and/or some grid projection...

- icantdrive55 9y agoYea, over the years my best shots have been shot using a heavy tripod. There are times when I don't want to lug around that Manfretto tripod--a tripod that looks like you could mount a machine gun on it. I've tried monopods, but my best shots are all taken with a tripod.
