Today I visited the fort Copacabana here in Rio de Janeiro. It is an

almost 100 years old fortification.



as now usual for me in 3 versions : QT , Flash and Deval



The cannons were made by Krupp in Germany



here some more tests of a Nikon D300 under very low light conditions

with up to 2000 ISO







D300 ISO 2000 1/15 F5.6  monopod 4 shots Nikkor8/2.8 no noise reduction

http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Rio/ForteCanhao1/index_Dv.html







D300 ISO 1600 1/15 F5.6  monopod 4 shots Nikkor8/2.8 no noise reduction

this I will remake again in PS because  the light was  much lesser

than it appears here.

I just discovered that I accidently dropped a wrong Flash movie in

the  low light, high ISO inside Cannon pano....



now it is corrected

and the Flash version shows the right panorama....

Williy,

if I read your exif right :

--

<crs:Shadows>9</crs:Shadows>

<crs:Brightness>+50</crs:Brightness>

<crs:Contrast>+25</crs:Contrast>

<crs:Saturation>0</crs:Saturation>

<crs:Sharpness>0</crs:Sharpness>

<crs:LuminanceSmoothing>90</crs:LuminanceSmoothing>

<crs:ColorNoiseReduction>28</crs:ColorNoiseReduction>

<crs:ChromaticAberrationR>0</crs:ChromaticAberrationR>

<crs:ChromaticAberrationB>0</crs:ChromaticAberrationB>

---



this means you set Luminanc NR to 90 , Color NR to 28 and

increased th Brightness by +50 and Contrast by +25



Is this correct ??



Ciao

Mike

Willy this is really a competative one (the other too).

I can imagine that is was relly dark in there.

The camera did extremly good - about the D80 with 640/800 ISO,

so it´s a big increase.

Wonder how a Canon 5D would do.

Ciao

Mike

As very low light photography is concerned, the panographers could

learn a lot from the astronomers community.

For instance Christian Buil has some interesting and pertinent

knowledge to share on his Website.



To answer Mike's question Christian wrote:



http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/nikon_test/test.htm

and sorry, I didn't find a possible English version for that one:

Michel

If I would have had a tripod....  it would have been much better.. but

so I was restricted to as short time of only 1/15

I like your use of the living sunscreen ;-) But I dislike Deval

autorotation starting immediately after I release the mouse. Why not

use "firstautoplay" parameter?

I dont have a PC so I never saw my Deval output !! only once in an

Internet Cafe.

I am unaware of any parameters and the  code is made by pleinpot.
