LA Latitude

[blatrix]

Well this is my first post since I joined this forum almost a year ago. Just felt it’s about time I posted some of my stuff.
These are just some test shots I took of LA while scouting for locations. I wanted to capture areas I thought were the “true” downtown LA, while testing this camera’s latitude. Just proves how sensitive the DVX is to darker areas.

Re: LA Latitude  

lol I wish it were empty during rush hour traffic! you don't know traffic unless u've been on the 405 or 110. Well these were all taken after rush hour, so about 7:30 pm.

Great shots! Being a OC boy transplanted to Columbus, Ohio I love seeing a real city again. Really great colors, I love the night one with the fountain.
These people complain about traffic here, try being at the interchange of the 10, 5 and 101 at 5:30.

They are really impressive shots. I'm assuming you were on F5 or 6, but if you have any details, it would be great to know something about the conditions and your settings. They're all really well framed with great color and exposure, but that shot of the Orpheum is fantastic.

Re: LA Latitude  

thanks for all the great feedback! Again this camera is awesome!

Pseudonym: the settings were F5
Detail: -3
Color Temp: -4
Master Ped: -8
A. IRis Level: -3
Gamma: Cine-Like
Skin tone: on
Matrix: Cine-like
V detail: thin
and I think I had my ND on 1/8 and adjusted the iris every now and then.

rburnsdirect: I'm down for it, I'm going to be at UCLA come september so email me at shaunwe@ucla.edu

these pics are like any big city...sorry they may be out of focus (from the car)

Re: LA Latitude  

Since I'm still deciding, do you have a DVX100 or DVX100A? Liked the colors!

very true.

Kristofer: these were all with the original DVX100 just letterboxed. IMHO this camera has the best color renditions at the prosumer level hands down!
