Dragon in Sri Lanka

[Andy Roberts]

What is the DR of the human eye?

The human eye is a masterpiece of creation (accidents this good don't just evolve :smiley: ), able to dynamically capture 24 stops, and statically, about 10-14 stops.
The 24 stops comes from the brain's ability to merge the input dynamically, almost like an on-the-fly HDRx... at least that is my synopsis of this article.

This site is a great place to learn about the principles of image capture. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com

I liked it when Mark T said of Dragon: "It captures what I see."

Great to hear this Tom. Looking forward to your sneak peek and impressions!

 

[Sergio Perez]

I will try to post some images tomorrow. It's nearly 3am here.

One note: On Epic MX, I never really shoot over ISO 1000 in extreme low light. With Dragon it looks like that number will move to ISO 2500, or maybe ISO 3200.

The dynamic range is stunning.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear!

We are gonna try to shoot a side-by-side test with Epic MX tonight. Just something to show the basic differences. There are no restrictions on me regarding what I can post.

cool man, thanks for your time.

 

[Rohan B]

why post the old photos tony??

 

[Matt Ryan]

You know what I'm talking about so why ask? you tell me what's the difference BTW a soft focus and a blur in the shot

soft focus is out of focus due to the lens, blur refers to motion blur due to motion and shutter speed, shallow depth of field means a narrow focal plane with more area out of focus.... If your going to nit pick something at least understand the terms and their effects on the image...

 

[Nick Morrison]

Are you talking about soft focus or shallow depth of field? Don't understand what you mean by blur....

I have to agree. Not sure what defenition of "blur" is. Tony appears to be talking about shallow depth of field?

 

[Tony Harris]

Thanks Tom ...nothing else from me.

 

[Nick Morrison]

In post I could use a blur effect and you wouldn't know the difference.

Difference btw what? Not sure it's clear what you are talking about. Difference btw Epic-MX and Epic Dragon?

Thanks Tom, much appreciated.

I would love to see the dragon used in the night at 16000 or more. Not sure what is the maximum ISO ability of the Dragon. The ISO 6400 posted by Mark Toia was nice.

Wish someday the current crop of cameras have sensors so sensitive that I won't need to shoot with Infrared cameras and IR lights.

For The love of god..... Please don't let this thread flame out........ Mark, you all are confusing the hell out of each other. Start a new thread to discuss please. This is Toms thread about his experience with the dragon.

Oh man, same (amazing) lenses too? This just got interesting.

Little off topic, but does anyone know what size batteries those are? 89Wh?

I think I better understand the circle of confusion now.

Haha. Stop, dude. Hahaha.

Yikes...can't let that be my last post with that number.

No rush, but hurry Tom, the natives are restless.
