The latest Capture One Style Pack is called Reverie, and it’s in collaboration with the founder of LOOKSLIKEFILM.

Today Capture One users can pick up the Reverie style pack that was done with Lukas Pitatek, the founder of LOOKSLIKEFILM. The community known for making photographers who’ve never loaded a roll of Tri-X think that their images look like film is extending their wealth of knowledge via this pack for a cool $39. This includes four color presets, four black and white presets, four soft variants of the color presets, and HSL tones, and grain simulations. They’re available today for purchase, and we took a quick look through them as we’ve had maybe two hours to play with them and write about them for this blog post before publishing.

Reverie Delta

The Capture One Press Release isn’t super clear about what these are supposed to be. If they’re supposed to look like film, then I don’t think they do. I’ve been shooting a ton of film recently and dropped off 13 rolls to be developed just on Monday. These don’t look like any films that I’ve worked with. Admittedly though, they’re beautiful looks overall, especially in the case of the black and whites. But if I really want the film look, then I’ll go for RNI Films, and Capture One’s style packs themselves also contain some pretty similar looks as it is. Here’s what the press release says:

Reverie Lambda

‘Reverie’ will include 8 Styles in total; 4 color and 4 B&W. Between them, users will find perfect choices for everything from overcast days to blue hour:

  • Reverie – Alpha: Warm-up shadows, clean whites, and nice contrasts. Perfect for overcast days with even soft light.
  • Reverie – Beta: A beautiful style that throws a warm layer of tones over highlights and shadows. Works really well for blue hour photos but is pretty versatile.
  • Reverie – Delta: Gives a wonderful clean look across the color palette, so for classic and timeless looks, this will be your first option in any scenario.
  • Reverie – Gamma: ‘Moody’ is the word that perfectly describes this style. A yellow-reddish mix of mid-tones and shadows will make this style perfect for golden hour shots.
  • Reverie – BW Styles: All of the black and white styles are made to give your images a cinematic feel and finish. From clean and strong contrasts over to faded highlights & shadows. Each style will give you the perfect result for images that need that special monochrome look.

You can go pick them up at the Capture One Store for $39.

Opinion: Please Stop Wearing a Photo Vest if You Don’t Need to Be Wearing a Photo Vest

When I got into this industry years ago, one thing really confused me almost as much as how much certain older photographers tend to treat the younger generation of us: photo vests. I’m completely positive that you’ve all seen them: a photographer of a certain distinguishment (or trying to show off without having said distinguishment) wearing their vests that look a lot like safari vests. You know, almost as if they’re going to go out on an African safari at all times without being anywhere near something like a safari. Walking down the streets doing street photography? You’ll see a photo vest. In the studio? Photo vest! Hiking? Yup, A Photo vest!

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
