Post your high ISO R-D1 pix

[Tuolumne]

RD-1 with 35mm Asph. Summilux @f1.4, iso 1600, no post processing, but shot as a jpg. The enlargement is @100%. The only noise I see is in the blue shadows on the face at left.

Looks good to me!

The R-D1/Summicron 28mm combo at f2 and ISO 1600, convertet in Epson PhotoRAW to 16 bit Tiff Adobe rgb 320dpi, then resized via CS2 to jpg 240dpi, quality 10. Aligned, but othervise no PP what so ever. I do think that the result is up to noise standarts, certanly better than Nikon D200. And *much* sharper as well - should open for Noise Ninja et al, if need be.

PS: Sorry about the Nikon comparison, just have to refer to fix points known by me :=)

Kind Regards

Niels


Edith:
Same procedure, only changed WB, tuned down the noise a bit in Capture NX2 (10-0) and applied fine sharpening in CS2 (200-0,2-0)- and of course made jpg bigger :=) Result not bad for or a 2004 6mp outdated camera. Good really.

These three are at ISO800. I avoid using 1600, but it's still pretty usable. You can click on these images to see the full-size versions.

Cool - Red Lights! Post some more from there pls! - perfect place to test high ISO IMO. 😉

R-D1 with 50mm Summilux pre-asph (mistakenly set to 1600, very little noise)

R-D1 with 1,5/50 C-Sonnar (1600, wide open, extremely low light, all noise 😀 )

 

[Tuolumne]

I do think the R-D1 is world class at ISO 1600! Nice shots, all.

RD-1 ISO 1600, all with CV Nokton 50/1.5 wide open. Very little PP in Lightroom 1.4.1.

Michael,
Nice use of selective focus in your beautiful shots. I think the RD-1 can hold its own against all comers, although it is now over two years old. It is destined to be a classic.

Here is a shot at ISO800, 1/8 sec. handheld, CV12 mm @ 5.6:

Thanks!

Yes, the R-D1 is very good at high ISO, especially at ISO 800 it's really beautiful. But I also found that at ISO 1600 there isn't much room for underexposure. There will be a lot of grain and also banding (the latter only if severely underexposed), although the grain doesn't look too ugly, as it sometimes does with other cameras. Also I wasn't very successful with 'push processing' as shown and recommended in other threads. Maybe have to try again.

Another one, but this one is at ISO 200, 1/125s. Sorry for the subject, I post this only because of two findings: first it shows that at low ISO settings the R-D1 files seem to have an enormous amount of information and a lot of room for correcting misexposure. Second Lightroom does a pretty good job when autocorrecting exposure on import. At first I didn't notice that it was heavily underexposed because Lightroom did its exposure correction automagically. The first one is unprocessed, the second one is pushed 4 (!) stops, black correction 2, brightness 56.

hey Yanidel !~

where was the third picture in your post taken? it looks so wonderful !

 

[yanidel]

tsai, thanks for the comment.
I am not sure you are familiar with Paris but this is a place in the Defense neighbourhood of Paris where all the high rise buildings are located. I would say three blocks from the Great Arch in direction of the 'small' Arch (Arch of Triumph). The lights of the structure change every few seconds, probably what gave this strange light in the picture.

Settings for these 2 shots: ISO 1600, RAW, (original grain/noise untouched) CV 35mm 1.2. maybe wide open.
