  • 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 :)

Was this test shot with uncompressed or the compressed camera??

AFAIK, only way to get uncompressed 4k output is via the yet-unfinished optical port. (In other words, this started as the compressed Redcode .r3d file just like every other image posted this past week.)
 
How are the 32 and 28 doing ?

Just curious, (I own a set of 2.1's myself) how are the 32 and 28 holding up ? ( they tend to vignet on Pro 35 and the 32 also shows a bit of darkening shooting Super 35. Also since we are looking at a part of the image (2:1 not 16:9) how are the corners doing ?

Hmmm, hey guy's...

Question?

Yesterday in LA I downloaded the city & tower tiffs no problem.

But I'm out of town today and when I try to down load them from here...

http://www.mediafire.com/

I get an upload page instead of the down load page. Is it down or me?

Can someone please help?

Thanks!
 
Right now I get the upload page there also. If you want, the files are still available on my site (in 10-bit DPX, and 16-bit PNG format). http://www.bealecorner.org/events/red/

(note 16 bits is just the PNG file type, it is a direct conversion from the 10-bit DPX so the PNG does not contain any more or any different data.)
 
Hate to say this, but the tower shot looks like a CGI render, unrealistic. The city shot looks good. At 100% rez things look a little soft, but I attribute that to the limitations of the lens trying to take pictures of faraway things.
 
i'm amazed. this is crazy. I can't take it!

I agree the upper tower has little to no surface texture and appears un-naturally smooth. However I have not seen the tower in real life from that vantage point. If you shoot with a long lens through a bit of atmospheric haze, what does that do to fine details?

By the way, one of Canon's still life photos demoing a new DSLR (forget which, maybe the 1Ds MkII?) had people complaining it looked CGI. However it was not- just a carefully composed shot of perfectly polished silverware, no scratches and no dust, and low contrast lighting (under a light tent).

Nah... The city shot was just out of focus a bit.
 
Most lenses have the ability to focus just past infinity. This will lead to a slightly soft image that will generally *look* focused at infinity... but is actually a little off. I figure that happened here - the lens may have been pushed to the far stop rather than centered at infinity.
 
A slightly different approach... painting in some magic hourness light into the sky (and into the reflections on the water).

Thanks for the reply jbeale, I'm back home now so.... I'm glad I downloaded the tiffs before they were gone. If I had only put them on disc before I drove out of town.

LOL I just wanted to give my dad the tiffs to play with in PS...... he love's this stuff, to.
 
What was the colorspace the DPX saved in from Baselight?

When opening up the DPX in Photoshop, make sure you're in 16bit mode, otherwise you're clipping out information.

After Effects 7 and up has floating point, so even more interesting color options.

Anyone take this into Color yet?

35MB a frame isn't bad. I'm always dealing with 50MB DPX from a 4k film scan, but those are at 4096x3112.

So a 90min movie extracted to DPX should be about 4.6 TB.

I wish the networking options were lot cheaper. Wonder when Infiniband will be available at Fry's.
