Dynamic Range...

This is the shot of the 959. I pulled it down to almost black to show that there is tone in the flag in front of the 4k light and everywhere on the 959. Pretty incredible.

Geez, that's remarkable. It's difficult to tell if the inconsistencies on the flag in the last shot are from compression artifacting or reaching beyond the consistent range of the sensor, but the detail in the highlights are impressive no matter how you cut it. It almost seems to retain significant data past 100%.

How many stops over were the highlighted section?
 
its amazing to see there is still detail in that flag that is being directly hit by that open faced light blasting 12 inches away from it.. and that there is enough range still in the darks that you can see the stuff in the background shadows like the orange extension cords on the ground etc.
 
We hurried to get footage together for IBC. We would prefer to shoot better footage before we offer any up for download. Why post something less than our best when there is plenty of time before we ship? Every pic will come under extreme scrutiny so we want to characterize our sensor 1st, maybe even correct for dead pixels... small stuff like that. People are not very forgiving to see work in progress with excuses. We are shooting this week and should have footage to post next week.

incredible pics. I'm still dying for some 4k still downloads..or better yet a 1080p quick clip of the 959.
Ok, OK... I found a pic of the 959 in all its 4K glory...
Keep in mind that I got this from a less than reputable source so there are a few minor artifacts... lol.

Wow, the RED camera really was a lie! It's just a little Sony in a fancy case! Noooooooo!!!


Good to hear about the upcoming shoots, I'm really looking forward to the new footage.

Will you ever post high-res frames of the current [Porsche, watch] footage? Maybe after the better footage has been posted? I'd just love to see it at some point.

CVB... if anyone actually falls for this you are going to fall out of favor over here! :-)

lol... couldn't resist. At least it gives a good representation of the size of one frame :)
 
Man, the 959 still looks like a curent show car; even after all these years.
The first image has no black... the second image is beautiful.

next week? sweeeeeeeet. I completely understand. The IBC show footage I have seen uploaded into tiny movie files is already mind blowing, I can't imagine what else you have in store. good times.
 
Now all I can say is hello low light shooting situations. A Documentary camera mans dream come true. Where sometimes the on camera ligh just isn't enough. I love how you can see everything in the back of the set the stuff that is not ment to be seen.

And beautiful car Jim. I got to ride in one once and that is something I'll never forget.
 
i so feel like kicking cvb's ass right now. lol.

but seriously... seriously... with that dynamic range .. with hardly any noise..

maaan you'd need so little light to make anything look hot and sexy.

i mean.. in the non red-world.. you'd spend hours and hours lighting with huuuge and massive lights so that youd have enough information inorder to not get visible ugly noise while you colorcorrect and tone ure image later on... i feel like i'd hardly be needing light if my images look so sexy toned down and GRAINLESS. even with those way small pictures you could hardly see any grain...

look at cvb's picture.. do you see anything other than jpeg artifacts? NO FREKKIN NOISE. and the picture is multiplied in size by a bizillion times... the tones are STILL SMOOTH... even a digital camera wouldnt give you that neat grading when uprezzed.
