  • 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 :)

KETCH ROSSi

hi Ketch....quick question: what would be your minimu compression for 5K FF if you wanted to extract a pic to enlarge for 8x10 inch print format on paper?

Thanks Gary,



But I must say, that I look forward to get our RED Canon mount to be able to use some serious "L" Canon glass, in the Super telephoto range 200mm, 300mm, and 400mm... ;)

I am sure Steve Gibby is looking forward to it also.

I have not shot anything below 5:1 compression, which is what also most Major Films are been shot at, going to 3:1 as some do it seems just a huge waist of space, as of now... ;)
 
An when you see the photograph on paper, how does it feel compared to previous experiences with regular DSLRs, does the 14 Megapixels per frame stand up to what you were used to? I'm very curious about this aspect of the DSMC system, the printed quality.... thanks for your input, it's great to have it from such a photographer like you
 
how large a print do you think you will be able to get out of the footage?

BTW, in bocca al lupo with your studio in Italy...
 
THANKS Enrique, even so looks like the Studios will have to wait a little do to our projects taking priority.

We have done tests with 13x19, great results, it really depends on subject, and lots of things, but for the gallery we will do prints up to 30x60" shown next to 60" Monitors, and the real girls of course... ;)
 
He he, not really, but let me tell you that seen images of Epic been printed that large on a room full of well dressed people of the high class fashion and TV world,
will make my face smile just as much, especially when they all find out that none have come form Still cameras or Medium format still cameras I should say.

A real NEW era has arrived for the world of Digital Imaging... ;)
 
absolutely, still photographers must be very nervous, because as I see it, if well shot material is useful for printing...I am usually hired by a firm to record documentaries and sometimes I have a still photographer working next to me, also hired by them, which means an extra person to cater, lodge, pay for his work, etc...I don't know what would be the right approach, ethically and moneywise for a cameraman who can also deliver stills, what are your thoughts on this?
 
I must say that every were I go Still Photographers do accept change, even so not lively, they do present a sincere interest in the RED technology offered with EPIC, they just want single frame with Flash Sync, at 1/8000 and so do I... ;)

The possibilities presented in shooting 120fps at flu res, is just simply not easy to comprehend and it needs to be seen and showcased, in order to give a flu grasp of what this can do for once particular job assignment.

Of course lighting needs also need to be taken under serious consideration, then there is HDRx!!

Time are changing, and are changing fast, He'She hum does not see, will be blinded by the shier light of the train passing by them he he.
 
Hi Ketch, sorry to hear about your health problems....
Can I ask you another question: when you are shooting for stills, what is your recommendation for framing the subject on your Epic if your image is so "wide". How do you think in terms of 4:3, or other formats? Do you have a grid or something to compose?
 
Thanks for the concern Enrique, I'll get better, I know, and even if I don't mi mind will always be the same, strong and restless... ;)

I always have a final output already in mind before shooting, so framing for me always is dependent on that final need, but I much prefer wide images, and I do love 2:1,
I always waist so much pixels in MF do to the square format, but more recently with Leaf and the new Leica S2, I was fortunate to have a more rectangular ratio, now with Epic I am in joy,
as I have the possibility to shoot the full sensor but most importantly get 2:1, and this is what I always shoot.

As we continue to prepare for our first EVER I think, EPIC gallery, all frame grabs, since Still mode is not yet active, will b wall in 2:1 ratio.

As for framing you can choose a frame guide when shooting, and I like to have it on as well, but it is at 2:1.
 
Ketch, all the best to you. Enjoy Epic shooting and give us samples from time to time.
 
I don't know what's meaner: the wording "thousands of EPIC users" or the teasing of the acc. ... :)

Ketch, you're definitely in good health when we see you trying "to Jarred" your way through reduser ;)
I'm sure, they'll add that new verb in the Oxford Dictionary and Merriam Webster soon.
 
Ha ha, I have to make up for the very upsetting event which forbidden me to go under water, so as they say, one door closes an other opens... ;)

NO TEASE...

In fact, first one to guess will get to come to Italy if not already in Italy, I'll take care of the round trip Ticket,
He/She will take care of the rest, sorry still looking for a home so no place to host any one at this time.

We'll need a strong one to carry it... ;)

I'll be sure to put He/She to the test of his/hers shooting skills as well... ;)

The fortunate one will get a ticket, and sign and NDA agreement, keep it quite, and till approved, NO posting, if we don't brake things on the way he he.
