Chaemono Posted August 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) This guy claims that's the rule in scenes where there is a lot of light and the most important things are going to be above middle gray starting at 10:59. The whole video is great, BTW. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted September 3, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2020 Pretty stupid in my book to deliberately limit DR in good light situations. Yes, some cameras have a discontinuity at mid-ISO in the balance between in-camera noise reduction and gain, but physics won't be denied - the sensor output will have the largest range at base ISO, and the S/N ratio will get worse as the exposure gets less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted September 3, 2020 It kind of made sense the way he explained it. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theory is great but photography is practical and with digital cameras its very easy to try things and find out what works for oneself. Whenever I get a new camera (I'm avoiding doing so now because I am used to what I have got) I always experiment and deliberately under and over-expose to see what the effects are, and how much I can tolerate or use to advantage. Generally speaking, and in many situations, I'm surprised at the latitude given by RAW files. Whilst sloppy work is to be avoided, beneficially using a camera's characteristics can be interesting.

tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 3, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2020 At the end of the video he says that all he has said in the video only applies to the specific camera. So taking it as a grain of salt. Would be interesting trying the back lit cloud thing with a standard camera. I'd like to see if it is the ISO change or simple exposure.
