  • 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 :)

Some tests - I would say it just works...

Thanks Gunliek. Can't wait to see your video after you've "waded" through. Have fun. Get some rest!

THX Nick!

Not a lot of sleep yet, I am affraid.

This being a pretty small crew... hahahaha... I am now in the check-in mode, to try to make all, including RED, that have generously contributed to the test with equipment and support happy they took part.
FedEx...

paperwork

(Now, where is that small screw...)

LOL

But I will have to get there within the next day (sleep that is). The last week has been pretty much around the clock.

No, it's all about limitations -that's what defines gear, how often or not you cannot shoot or it lets you down. ...

Well, i guess ... different approaches to different people with different brains to different mindset to different outcome.

Gunleik & I had many discussions about that over the years ... and I guess, it's fair to say that each approach is valid ....

I just think, it is completely pointless to post this stuff about an - for the most part - unavailable camera .... since the measures for limits are defined on a personal level ....

I have not found any.

I love the dragon.

I was delighted, as others, with what it does.

I do only care, to get a good, story telling picture. lot's of them.

Dragon is a tool delivering these, for me.

There.

:-)
 
Cool.
THX for the help and support!

I look forward to see what you can make out of the natural-nightshots in the forest we quickly looked at together on the verge of leaving, when you get a chance to play with them in RCX.

... well, ... no direction or composition or story there .... LOL .... just tickling the camera with the little bit of light left, while bringing it out of the woods ..... ;-)

so, I am curious to see, what happens when I'll eventually fly the dragon in the Berlin streets & underground ...

there ain't no stopping.

:-)
 
Thanks A LOT Gunleik for sharing!

All of your images speak loud.
The shot with Mia having a breakfast...
...i look at the windows...WOW!!! Incredible DR!
What a fantastic and natural looking image!

Also, i saw that you used no IR filtration on your Oslo photos even with ND1.2 plus a pola.
Do you think that we could use only normal NDs without Hot Mirrors up to ND1.8 ?

Thanks!

Antoine
 
I shot with up to ND .9 + .6 + pola

No IR issues I have seen, but then again, I am still running back with equipment.

On the other hand, I think some confuse ND tinting with IR pollution, sometimes, as they can resemble each other in some ways at first sight.

But no IR problems.

I guess John would be able to comment on that.
 
I'm part way through my IR testing. At first look IR is just no longer an issue. Very well controlled. I'll post more when I finish up 'the science bit'... which involves a hilarious contraption I won't go into LOL.
 
Thank you for a great effort guys!
 
Wow!!!!!

Just watched your tungsten IR results...
This is amazing.
Back to good old NDs :)

Thanks for sharing John!

Running through some hours of shots here at very different lighting conditions, and can only practically confirm what John has tested for.

Dragon just works.

And is more.
