Noir-style still, hard to light in low-light with an adapter I've learned

I used cheap 1000w homedepot lights :crybaby:

Can't see the still.

Can't see the still.

How about now?

I see it. And you're right, needed more light. Could be a different story with moving images, though.

I think that's part of the reason some people opt to shoot flat with digital.

What do you mean by shoot flat?

What do you mean by shoot flat?

I couldn't explain it as well as a few others. Do a search on "Shoot flat" or "Shooting flat".

I see what you're saying now. Yeah my settings were pretty generic...

What makes this Noir-style ?

By shoot flat I think he means that everything is in focus (deep focus).

Actually I believe he means shoot very neutral so that in post you can crush the blacks, more latitude with CC.

i can picture how the image should look compared to how it looks now. Could be really interesting, since the framing is quite nice, however the image is increadibly soft, non-useable in my opinion. What were your settings? and what adapter were you using?( should check up on how to get that sucker as sharp as possible )
