I also made a try back in october 20

Its the result of 111 lights, 111 darks and a few bias frames.

I used my a7 with Canon FD 85mm f1,2

at f2; ISO 3200; 2 sec.

 How did you deal with the dark frames? I was sloppy, used a few, probably less than I should have, but it worked great. This was with my Fuji, I think the A7 series may automatically require more dark frames, I have not tried it with my a7R yet.

Hi - I'm impressed by these and intend to have a go. I have an A7s and an A7ii - which one should give the best results? I'm thinking the silent (electronic) shutter on the A7s will be an advantage? Not sure I fully understand "dark" and "bias" frames... As a total beginner here any advice for a basic reliable set up appreciated (I have very solid tripods with arca ball or fluid heads).

Thanks!

Tim

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
