Location shots - Palm Beach, Australia

[Noel Evans]

Mid shoot on this and was just reviewing my location shots from yesterday afternoon. Thought Id throw out some stills. These are all compressed jpegs from FC timeline.

Nice photos, is that with the 5D?

I like the golden hour shots!

nice shots man. Way to hit that exposure properly. That's really the key element with the af100. I think there is about a stop and a bit of leeway, but you need to really hit it.

I want to go to there!

Beautiful shots, Noel!

"One stop and a bit " can mean over twice as much ... or ... under half as much light that you want at a given " point" in your image tone (levels).

Tell me how that is "leeway" as opposed to a lack of control in exposure technique?

they have a lovely kodachrome look.

and that's what I feel shooting with panasonic cams is like,
sticking a good ole roll of kodachrome and having a really narrow exposure to play with.

It's a disciplined way of shooting with transparency film, takes more exposure technique. Up to a stop over or under and it was pretty much a duff exposure.
add in your standard 1/3rd stop under for sunny climes...

all very similar tecniques to those required for controlling highlights on the AF101.

Id have to agree with you 100%. I think youve given the best analogy and deserve this 4 week old can of pfeffernusse.

BTW I checked out your web page. Some fantastic stuff on your reel.

For correction in post.

For correction in post.

Detail in black that is under-exposed one stop wont be very well corected in post ( if you want it back). White detail that is over-exposed one stop also wont be satisfactorily corrected in post.

Mid tones should be o.k if you need to correct in post but an optimum exposure is "king" at all times. Shooting negative (film) is anothetr matter of course but for digital...the rules are a little different.

Digital: Protect the whites ( highlights) and blacks ( shadow detail).

Its worth doing a one stop+ over / uner exposure test on a gray scale to familarise the tone / level shift and its impact on an image.
