Moon Harvest - FS100 Low Light Glory

21 & 30 db, shot handheld with the kit lens (cause I forgot the Nikon adapter at home - duh!)

Should be up on Vimeo any minute.

Hi, Frank.

That looks very clean. What's the ISO equivalent of that much gain?

Best,

John

 

[thxdave]

Beautiful footage, Frank. I really enjoyed that.

JEsus.... I really can't believe how good this thing is in low light..

My thoughts exactly. Wow.

Yeah, it´s almost scary.

If I coud have used my fast primes instead of the kit lens, I could have got away with 9 & 18 db.

I liked the spooky music too. What is it?

 

[Postmaster]

The music is from Kevin McLeod.
I don´t have the title here in the moment, something with "child" in it. I believe.

It's nice to know this sort of thing happens to others - lol. Great work!

It happens to everyone I think, haha. Ive forgotten my SD cards at home in my card readers. That one was dumb and cost me a couple hours and lots of gas!


Ill repost my questions from vimeo here...
Did you add any noise reduction filters? I shot something similar with the kit lens mainly at f6.3 (so i could zoom) a couple weeks ago (it was night time trucking) and couldnt go over 21 without noise. I could not even tell the 30db shots in this video at first glance. The shot at 1.45 really impresses me.

WOW - great shots and cant believe how clean it looks given the gain used! Well done!

I used AbelCine norm profile but cranked up that black levels to 10.

Stop teasing! :kali:

If you're gonna tease me can you do it with a cam that doesn't cost over 5 grand. I'm trying very hard to spend my money on making films instead of buying new toys for a change.

Can somebody please ban me. :cheesy:

Love the look. Was the blue cast a WB thing or in post?

Nice stuff Frank! Very beautiful...

A question - now that you've had the kit lens for a while, would you still buy it? Very surprised it could generate any images at dawn given how relatively slow it is...

 

[Postmaster]

First I looked at the kit lens and thought WTF? I have a dozen of fast primes, why should I buy that slow glass?
So I only bought the body.

After my first run and gun job I ordered the kit lens (duh!).

It´s the only lens that really talks to the camera in the moment.
Auto focus and stabilization work surprisingly well.

It´s slow, but that was never a problem with the FS100 as long as you are not after DOF.

I don't like the way it extents while zooming , and a lot of other things, but yeah I would buy it again.
It´s much better than I thought.

Thanks Frank for the response. So using a matte box would be a pain eh? Which leaves screw on filters or something like the Cokin...
