A few days ago, I posted some graphs that indicated that using live view on the D810 had no material effect on dark-field noise at 1/2000 second shutter speeds. Yesterday, I repeated the tests at 1/30 second and 1 second shutter speeds, with similar results. I’ve received a request to do more testing at really long shutter speeds…. [Read More]

D810 live view’s effect on dark-field noise, longer exposures
A few days ago, I posted some graphs that indicated that using live view on the D810 had no material effect on dark-field noise. Several people have expressed interest in seeing the test repeated at longer shutter speeds. I’ll repeat the protocol. In a 68-degree F (20 degrees Celsius) room, I set a D810 up in… [Read More]
NEX adapters that are the right length
A year or so ago, I wrote this post complaining that lens adapters were always too short. Then, in this post, I reported that, at least in the case of Novaflex, they were too short by design. A week or so ago, in this post, I told you all that I had received two adapters… [Read More]
How much do you do in post?
I made infrared tree exposures Saturday and Sunday, and spent most of yesterday stitching and editing the images. In photography, there are two extreme views of post processing. The first is that it’s all over when you release the shutter. Get that right and you don’t have to do anything else. In the film era,… [Read More]
Does using live view make your images noisier?
It has been speculated that using live view, because it heats up the sensor, will add to the shadow noise in images, and should be avoided. An extreme twist on this point of view says that you shouldn’t use mirrorless cameras because, with the exception of the M240, their live view is on all the… [Read More]
