Experimentation Level: Expert – Unlocking Creative Superpowers with My old B-Roll Sony A6400 & TTArtisan Lenses! 📸✨
Fellow photographers, let’s talk about real innovation in the field (pun intended). While everyone chases full-frame megapixel monsters, I’ve doubled down on my battle-tested Sony A6400 (APSC) – the ultimate mad-scientist platform for lens experimentation. Why? Because APSC lenses are wallet-friendly rockets that let you fail fast, iterate wildly, and still produce gallery-worthy magic. 💥
Enter TTArtisan – the Chinese metal maestros crafting 100% mechanical, zero-electronics lenses that feel like vintage relics from a steampunk future. No autofocus? No problem. These are tools for thinkers, not point-and-shoot crutches.
🔥 Current Lab Favorites:
• TTArtisan 7.5mm Fisheye: Bend reality like a black hole. Turn cityscapes into surreal planets. One twist = instant “whoa” factor.
• TTArtisan 35mm Tilt: Miniature worlds, selective focus planes, dreamy bokeh rivers. It’s like having a view camera in your pocket.
Every shoot becomes a hypothesis: “What if I tilt the plane 8° and shoot upward at golden hour?” The A6400’s EVF + peaking = surgical precision. Results? Images that don’t just document—they provoke.
💡 Pro Tip for Experimenters: Pair these with manual mode + histogram and treat ISO like a creative slider. Push shadows, crush highlights, then recover in post. The A6400’s sensor loves it.
Challenge to YOU: Grab a weird lens under $200, break one “rule” per shoot, and tag me in the chaos. Let’s flood feeds with intentional weirdness. 🤖🎨

Experimenting with Double Filters

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5 a.m. It was dark, cold, and quiet — the kind of silence that makes you wonder if you should just crawl back into bed. But the sky was clear with some clouds forming near the horizon, and experience told me this could become one of those fiery sunrises worth losing sleep over.

So I packed my Canon 5DsR with the Sigma Art 24–70 mm and headed to the Loonse en Drunense Duinen. Besides chasing light, I had something else in mind — a little experiment. I wanted to see what would happen if I combined a polarizing filter with a transparent plastic petri dish (from Corning).

If you’ve ever looked at a car’s rear window through polarized sunglasses and seen those oily rainbow patterns — that’s birefringence at work. When two polarizing surfaces interact with certain plastics, they reveal hidden stress patterns in vivid colors.

So I rotated both filters until the sky exploded into gradients of purple, turquoise, and gold. No Photoshop tricks here — just light, plastic, and curiosity playing together.

Sometimes, science and art meet right in front of your lens.
