A couple of shots from camera #14

[John Cordell]

Here are a couple of shots of the Los Angeles skyline. Not putting these out for hard-core tech analysis -- just thought some might enjoy seeing them. The camera is amazing. Both shots used the Red 18-50 zoom.

Here's something interesting: in "moon to city" there's a very visible smudge near the center of the frame. That's what a (largish) piece of dust on the OLPF looks like. It got there during a lens change. Worried me at first, but it was trivial to blow it off with a hand-bulb air blower. Once I saw it on the footage, it was very easy to spot on the monitor or LCD just by panning on a solid field. I think I'll make a habit of doing that after each lens change.

Hi John,

Those are great... Thanks for sharing!

Love that view.... of the city, wow.

Could you post a couple of still tiffs we could play with?

Thanks....

This is really gorgeous stuff! Thank you very much for putting it up, it is inspiring.

I'm viewing it scaled down a lot...I need a computer that can actually display 2k h.264 in realtime :-)

at 25%, after adding a lot of contrast just for fun:

I want to cry... this is some of the sharpest 2K RED footage I've seen posted. Unbelievable! You can see the neon building in the second shot, and a moon that isn't blown out in the first clip. I've shot the moon before, but never with the amount of dynamic range I'm seeing here!

Pretty incredible... :-)

Very Nice!

[Michael Mann]

That looks great. Can you please share some TIFF frames John?

Thanks for posting those John, gorgeous, I'm sure a Pro Res would be jawd ropping.

2k Prores HQ... I need these images (must show off to some skeptics colleagues...).

Corrado.

Very, very nice
