  • 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 :)

This is how we roll in Oregon :-)

Shawn I am in love with that shot.:love:

EDIT -- Shawn, any filter used?

No glass filters, no post filters. Just a wide open lens and some quick work in RedAlert.

Shawn,

Did you happen to take a foot candel reading of that lake side shot?

No I didn't! The light was disappearing too fast! I had to just expose by the LCD. It wasn't merely magic hour, it was the magic minute :-)

Beautiful shot, Shawn. Compared to the tiff or H264 images, how dark did the scene look to your eye?

Thanks for the match shot too. It's great to see the possibilities.

The scene looked slightly brighter to the eye, and a bit more golden. But honestly, Red really did capture what I was seeing. I didn't even think I could film at that moment, I thought that even Red couldn't capture it. I was blown away when it did.
 
Awesome. Malick would be proud.

Oh..... the possibilities.

there are many programs that have clipping restoration features. I use Cool Edit 2k, (now Adobe Audition) which can do this. These programs look at the good data to either side of the hard clip area and then extrapolate a smooth curve into the clipped region.

So: why not apply the same idea to photos also?

That's what the DRX feature does in Red Alert. Thanks to Graeme.
And it's making an even better educated guess than extrapolating a smooth curve, it will try to look at the channels that haven't clipped and compose something out of that...
 
Wow. That's beautiful. I nearly apoplexied when that bird flew across the water.
 
Yeah the details of the bird coasting just above the water really impressed me.

Yes, that is a good idea- for DSLR raw frames, Adobe Camera Raw can do basically that also (maybe Red Alert is better about extrapolating color; ACR goes to grey in overexposed areas).

Anyway I was thinking about areas where all three channels are clipped. You could still do extrapolation from the color values, gradients, and texture info at the boundary of the clipped area. Obviously this would be a "patch fix" and not the ideal, but it might make some shots usable that would otherwise not be. The good news is, usually you want just a gradual smooth roll-off into highlights and that's what extrapolation is best at. Actually I bet I could write a program to do this. Hmm. Anyone know if this feature already exists in software somewhere? It seems too obvious, someone must have done it already. The spot healing brush ("band-aid") tool in Photoshop probably does something like it.

The timing is really quite perfect :-) Silky smooth. It looks overcranked but isn't at all. I love the motion this camera produces!
 
Hi Shawn,

Though I hate to ask... is there a chance we can see this clip?
" Today I showed it to a gaffer and DP and it was just stunned silence. I showed them the crescent moon with the 300mm lens skirting the tops of the pine trees, a shot exposed for the bright blue sky that then panned into the shadows and held perfectly...their jaws were scooped off the ground. I love it!!"
If you have posted this then please point me in that direction. Anyway, if you can do it it would be great. I appreciate the time, energy and resources to make things like this happen.

Andrew
