  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

wrapping my head around this

I'd say it's kinda silly "only" to expose by the histogram. We make images not histograms and everything in an image is not equally important. Make artistic choices and stand by them! :)

But good "control" over exposure is essential. "Correctness" otoh...

Well obviously sometimes you clip on purpose or because it doesn't matter or because you don't have a choice i.e. a light source in frame, but I still use the histogram to watch shadows and the meat of the image. I don't mean you have to keep everything in the middle, that would be boring. ;)
 
Oh cool, I live in Homer which is "the end of the road." Juneau is Pretty much disconnected from the rest of the state except by plane or ferry.
I was in Norway a few years back. Amazingly beautiful place, sooo much rock. Next time I'm going to have to take a "real" camera and my climbing gear....

small world. I am from anchorage. living in iowa now though.
 
After working with and understanding RED cameras, I just assume all digital sensors have a native ISO and Kelvin temp and any modifications of that just gets forced into gaining up or down of the channels in the in-camera processing algorithm, but it is locked in because it is not raw. Is this correct thinking of other digital cameras?

It's not like changing film stock, it's more like push or pull processing.

Assuming you expose with the histogram then yes, If you monitor in RAW the ISO has no effect on exposure, but If you don't then the histogram will change depending on your ISO and thus the ISO will effect your exposure decisions.

The histogram will change but the goal posts and stop lights will not.
 
ok, not really an ISO question but... is there any place for a light meter in a Red shoot

Sure... as long as you test for it so you knopw cause and effect, that can be possible and good.

And if you feel you know the cameras response from the image you see and the settings you have, that can be good too

funnily enough there are a number of ways to get exposure right and to mess it up.
Find the way that makes you feel comfortable and repetibable...
