Even though I do like grading an correcting....Ditto all the above.I personally am not a big fan of spending a lot of time in post. But I've found the 2-3-2, LOG and ND filters necessities to maximize your chances of capturing the best footage. Otherwise when you shoot at different times and locations during the same day, you'll end up spending too much time 'dialing in settings' or guessing wrong and limiting ability to correct in Post. A lot of my footage I've gotta get quick in and out [emoji6] so the only thing I usually change manually are WB, ND/CP filter type, AE lock and go!
The longer I'm in an area, the more people want to chit chat and cause me to lose focus. Lost a bird deep in a canyon this way due to these distractions when wind gusts picked up and prevented RTH (RIP: Golden Rod I)
And because of the time factor I've found the best/fastest way to shoot isn't by manually tweaking the settings. WB yes I'll set that. But with the proper ND installed I'll point the camera around on Auto until ISO and SS get to the sweet spot. (ISO100-200 and SS 50-100) Then I'll tap the AE lock and film away. Works great and I don't exhaust 25% of my batter fiddling with camera settings.
