I’m learning cinematography. Ever since I started learning this difficult-to-master art, I’ve started noticing more the emotions that are evoked in me because of the placement, focus and exposure of subjects in various photos/videos that I come across. I often find myself wondering how to reproduce those effects with my camera.
I wish there was an online service where I could upload a picture or video and then it would show me which manual settings in my camera and focal length in my lens I can use to reproduce that effect.
Until we have a service like that, I guess I will just have to keep learning and practising.
