I took the DVX to a family picnic and shot this:

Oh, kidding. I was playing around with Scene File 6, and strong light sources. In this picture there is natural light coming from behind through some windows about 2 feet behind. There's a halogen flood light below to the left. The shutter speed was set to 1/24.
I was trying to get some dramatic looking composition, with a lot of texture. If these had been people, I wanted to see every twitch and eye flutter.
Personally I think the character on the left looks like what I wanted, I also was trying to see how much detail I could still get in the darker areas. There also feels like a lot of graininess to it.
I also played with Master Pedestal settings, and in post with brightness and contrast. None of these made it much better to my eyes.
I know folks here luuuv picking these things apart, so have fun.
I apologize in advance for making you look up Cthulhu's nose. Some heathen dropped him and broke his tentacles. That person has subsequently been dealt with, during the Eldritch Forces Polka Jamboree and Sacrificial Orgy.
