Here are some freeze frames from the video I’m going to post later today:
This video was shot on the Canon R6 with a 1969 Minolta F1.4 MC-ROKKOR 58mm lens. It’s got an amazing look that is liquid and filmic with amazing bokeh. Modern lenses just don’t have this extra “something.” There’s a magical look to it.
The new video covers my bathtub worm bin and how it’s working for us. I should have it up shortly.

Thanks to you I got a spare bathtub in my back yard now.
Your video quality is great, the shallow field of focus makes you pop against the background, and your color and resolution reminds me of color footage from the late 1960’s. Your brightness and saturation you got it dead on.
newer camera equipment have a sharp “digital” feel to them, the one you are using avoids that. It is like the argument between tube driven and chip driven stereo systems, your camera has a lovely “round” feel to it.
Thanks, David. I turn the saturation on my Canon down to its lowest setting. That combined with the vintage lenses (which are cheap!) really makes a difference. I also color grade for a vintage analog feel. It brings some life into the video, so it almost feels nostalgic. If you’ve ever listened to “Boards of Canada,” they are an influence on my visuals. I want the visuals to look rather like they sound.
