Re: Interesting Reference Data on Dynamic Range - 5dsr
Just to be sure (and fair) that folks might understand ... can the extra DR \"save the day\" in extreme situations. Sure, why not.
But, if our goal for an image is KNOWN to be shooting for max IQ of an extreme situation ... there is a diff between a convenient \"save\" and working for \"Max IQ\" ... and we can (many times) take an extreme approach (i.e. bracketing, waiting for more fill light, etc.) toward an extreme situation to work toward our desired \"Max IQ\" results. Of course, if we prefer to lift 6 stops, that\'s one approach as well.
I guess my definition of \"Max IQ\" and the efforts to achieve such are diff from those who advocate lifting 6 stops from a single frame rather than exposing differently for different portions of the scene. Diff strokes for diff folks ... I just don\'t subscribe to the notion of more DR as the holy grail to all photography. Nor do I subscribe to the notion that bracketing is the holy grail either. But, if the penalty for more DR looks like the comp in the 0-2 EV range, that\'s a tradeoff that (as Chez has pointed out aspects \"for him\") \"for me\" isn\'t one that I find attractive.
Simply stated, \"There is no holy grail.\" That goes for DR, ISO, bracketing, MP or any other attribute of our beloved craft.
