reportages made with 35L and 135L on FF

<p>Hi Scott,</p>

<p>Interesting read. What do you think he has exposed for and how did he work the curves?<br>

If he exposes for the faces, the window light must be so much overexposed that it becomes unrecoverable.</p>

<p>Whenever I recover highlights with the highlight recovery slider in ACR, it shifts the skin color. I prefer to work with the exposure slider instead and work the shadows with the fill light and blacks sliders.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I don't know how exactly he processed it, but here is the histogram from his shot. As you can see, totally blocked up dark tones and zero whites. The highlights with the extensive sharp troughs show signs of serious working to open up detail.</p>

<p>It almost looks like a blend of two layers, one with brightness and contrast and one untouched, then blended using a blend mode.</p>

<p>Without knowing the EV range in the original exposure it is difficult to speculate, even in the small jpeg there is lots more detail outside the window so I don't think the range is as big as you think, but as I said, one advantage of the 1 series cameras is the ability to pull detail back from highlights, the image I posted is pulled back four stops and the red warning on the lower picture is still on!</p><div></div>

<p>Amazing! What's the tech behind this capability? How is the 1D series different from 5D series in terms of EV and DR?</p>
