Hello
I have a general question, hope someone can help.
Watching TV tonight, news / docu stuff, I noticed the video camera on the intro was wandering around, and showed perfectly exposed sky, clouds, houses, shadows etc. all in the one shot. v- camera then moved indoors to show rooms, interiors, then panned around, a window comes into shot, and camera shows cars passing outside, through the window, people walking by, in the same shot as details of the rooms.
Try and capture that with a still camera, and you have huge problems, short of HDR, no way to let camera see such a range of tone. Dark room, lit window, sunlight, and outside the window in the same shot, much acceptably exposed stuff.
My question - how?
Are these TV video shots PP, different technology, wider DR or what?
Please answer if you know, I am very curious.
FYI I use G2 D-LUX3, K10d GX100. I like to take shots of interior with view through window, but no one camera I have can do this!
thanks
DR
