I wanted to see how wide I could go on the EPIC-X Dragon with my Canon EF-S 10-22 in extremely low light 30 minutes after sunset.

One pic is at 10mm and the other at 14mm. I am uploading the 985MB 14mm shot and will post link here soon.

Thanks for sharing the R3D.

Shot at 14mm, F3.8.

So were you vingetting at 10mm, had to go to 14mm to clean the edges?
Found the image hard to use without going too dark, grainy and severely under exposed. I'd like to see what Matt Ryan could do with this image.

Was thinking about this shot this morning and I think I found the reason it is so splotchy/grainy.

Was the blackshade done at shooting temps prior to recording? Looks to be like an uneven plane.

Hi Guys,

This was not intended to be a real world test. I had just received the Dragon back from RED the day before and did not perform another blackshade here in Puerto Rico.

The only purpose was to show that the Canon 10-22 can cover the Dragon sensor at 14mm.

Remember it was 30 minutes AFTER sunset on a cloudy night with a cheap lens at f3.8. I think she did damn well under those conditions.

Like Michael says, the shot is quite a bit underexposed (thus the noise), but you can still get decent results. Keep in mind that the camera captured the mountainsides near black, so bringing them up will introduce noise. If you do this, expect the need to use noise reduction or leave it crushed as shot.

Wow Matt! I shot that?

You've got some serious grading skills...

It is a great lens truth be told. What's crazy is that I was walking around the rain forest 15 minutes after this shot (nearly total dark) and the EPIC DRAGON (handheld) was actively auto focusing the 10-22mm lens with amazing accuracy.

Sure, I know that's not professional but this thing weighs 5 pounds and I'm walking around in the forest in the dark with no focus puller or anyone else for that matter and the Canon Mount and RED software is auto focusing 6K 24p in the dark!
 
Wow Matt.

Did you see his final image? It's so bright you can see all the texture in the trees. Pretty amazing work Matt.

Unbelievable!

It's difficult to express just how dark it was up there at the time this R3D was shot. I wish I had had a light meter with me and another on the trees. Let's just say I couldn't see the detail with my own eyes.

I think Dragon gives us a new concept in grading:

Night for Day!
