| 655915 | 2008-04-04 04:08:00 | Just reviews to be honest. Sensor tech always on the improving .. but larger sensor size in theory does improve it. Digital cameras for digital SLR has about the dynamic range - more than slide film but less than negative film (photo film). If you are doing sun photographs you woudl need to use a split filter or take 2 or 3 shots at different exposures and blend with Photoshop HDR or Photomatix which I quite like. Even if you have the Nikon D3 .... Even if you are taking a picture of a cloudy day - you may need a filter or via software. The sensor or film is just not able to record those detail. Its either the ground would be dark or the sky would be blown white. If its not too bad, you could shoot RAW and adjust curves if that helps it may be a slow process but some photographs may just not work and end up with v grainy effect because you have pushed and pulled the pixels far too much .... |
