IWC Doppel Posted February 27, 2013 Share #61 Posted February 27, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have set my Camera profiles to Day 160 with AWB, Day 500 with AWB and Eve 800 with 2,800 Kelvin and I'll see how I get on (I have also set up a 1,600 Eve with 2,800 Kelvin for experimentation) As I like using the B&W jpg as a reference (I develop 99% into B&W in any case) and I suspect pushing the jpg will be less fruitful. I will try a few shots at 800 pushed in LR4 and 1600 with the correct exposure. The other point I am interested in is how lifting the exposure in LR affect the tonality. If you take a picture of a grey scale then increase the exposure you will see the bands move (Spread from the centre) so you will have some mid tone shift. This might be good or not.

nggalai Posted March 6, 2013 Share #62 Posted March 6, 2013 Okay, gave it a shot with an 80B lying around. I’m quite surprised. Naturally, not clean. But for ISO 2500 on an M9, with artificial lighting? Not bad at all. Prints out just fine, and for Web, well. ISO 2500, 1/90s, f/1.1. CV Nokton 50mm/F1.1. Developed in CaptureOne 7.1: Curve compressed for contrast, sharpening 1.2px, 75/100 luminance and 50/100 colour noise reduction, “Fine Grain” 50 out of habit. I did take shots without the colour correction filter at ISO 1250 to compare, and even though there’s more dynamic range, the colour noise gets quite ugly. With the filter, I find it far better controllable. I’ll need to give it more tries, but I’ll pack the filter for the next dimly-lit venue I have to get stills from. But this looks promising. Cheers, Ron! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Ron! Very, very interesting! Thank you for sharing! What kind of filter is this, please? I'm not familiar with this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nggalai Posted March 6, 2013 Share #64 Posted March 6, 2013 Very, very interesting! Thank you for sharing! What kind of filter is this, please? I'm not familiar with this stuff. I used an 80B-type filter by Hoya, originally made for daylight film shot in incandescend light. It gobbles up about one stop of light, so it’s no alternative if you can shoot at ISO 800 on an M9. But beyond, I find colour noise is hard to manage (at least with CaptureOne). I will need to take more real-life shots to make up my mind, but it looks like using a filter @ ISO 2500 is preferable to no filter @ ISO 1250 with artificial lighting. Mind, this all could become moot in a couple of months/years, when full-spectrum LED is the norm, rather than light bulbs or tungsten lighting … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
