Photos by Thomas Struth of tall building in NYC include a video of him at work.
It shows him using a S 007 on high.

Dale,
If a camera does not have enough “latitude” or Dynamic range, the solution as you suggested would be HDR via combining two or more images. I used to do that and it required a tripod usually, no motion in the subject like the moving cars, and I still didn't like the result very often. Probably my fault.

With enough dynamic range as with the…[Read more]

Dale,
This shows the before and after LR to show how much in in the shadows of a 007 shot

Jack MacD replied to the topic Night Shot In Rain From Above in the forum Images to Share 10 years ago

Dale,
The issue turned out to be file size.
If this one goes up, we know 1.5 m can work.
If it doesn't, then I go to a mere .5m

Used to be David allowed huge files, up to 20M. I think when he revised the forum, that changed.

For all the reviews and forum discussions about the SL, half the LFI issue of 8/15 covers the thinking behind the SL in incredible detail. If you want to understand Leica's thinking you should get it and read it.

This is handheld, 1/60th at ISO 1600. 30-90 Zoom set on 30mm. f6.8
So there is very little camera shake.

Very smooth update. I especially appreciate the long press on the rear dial allowing a 100% zoom enlargement on playback. Much easier than spinning the top dial.

That has to be one the faster firmware updates in Leica history.

Turns out I was sending too big a file, let's see if this works?

This shows the beginning image as LR adjustment. Yes this wold have been achievable with a ND grad filter, but the building would have been an issue.
It used to be that PS was required to do this, now it can be done in LR.

This is a sunset shot that probably didn't need to be shot at 3,200 but was done to test how much recovery of the shadows can be accomplished after high ISO use.

This is my favorite diner. Shot at 1600 ISO at 1/45 sec and f #.5 with a 24mm S

Jack MacD started the topic Night Diptych from above in the forum Images to Share 10 years, 10 months ago

This project started on the T forum images to share.
I had shot a scene with my T as a triptych.
I said I would revisit it with an S which I subsequently did. The image is also shown on the T site for comparison to the triptych.

This is a seven image merge of a S with a 24mm lens shooting vertically. Probably more images to merge than needed. The…[Read more]
