Nicco here. I didn't use a shallow depth of field here for either reason. I wanted it because all of those scenes are memories of years ago compared to the main events. Thus, I wanted to give the feeling of details blurring out as memories fade. By contrast, I shot the main events at ~f8 on the Helios, so the background is quite sharp.
- bensyverson 6mo agoNicco, I'm here to peer pressure you into shooting 8x10 sheet film. :) You're gonna love it.
- niccolove 6mo agoAh ah ah I totally should get into it! When time allows it :-)
- bensyverson 6mo agoIt takes less time than building a camera! haha Unless you find yourself building an open source rotary film processing system, which is a possibility we can't rule out. :)
