Venue
St Mary's Church, Purton, Wiltshire. There was a church at Purton no later than the 12th century; a capital from that time still exists in the wall of the nave, which was built in the early 13th century.[2] The chancel dates from the late 13th century.[2] The central tower, transept and a chapel south of the chancel were added in the 14th century.
Set Up
Manfrotto Professional ART 1 Tripod
Canon System: Cable Release with Mirror Lock Up
Sony System: Sony RMT-DSLR2 Remote Commander
Three Bracketed Frames @ -2EV, 0EV and +2EV
Captures made one at a time
Shot as three RAW Frames
Processing
0EV RAW Frames were individually fully processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6. The 0EV settings were then Copied, Pasted and Synced to all three Frames of their respective trio
The three Frames were then merged using the Photo Merge to HDR facility in LR6
The end result were two DNG Files, one for the Canon System and the other for the Sony System
The DNG files were exported to my Hard Drive as two 16-Bit TIFF files and saved in the sRGB Colour Space
The two Master 16-Bit TIFF Files were then individually opened in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the identical corrections made to both images including Sharpening
The two Master 16-Bit TIFF files were then Re-sized to a width of 2000 Pixels in their longest dimension and saved as JPEG files
Camera Settings
24mm, f/8 and ISO 200
Attached are 4 images:
The Sony Camera System generated JPEG image with the notation DSCO3065-HDR2
The Screen Grab of the LR6 settings for the Master DNG File
The Canon Camera System generated JPEG image with the notation IMG_0685-HDR3
The Screen Grab of the LR6 settings for the Master DNG File
It will be interesting to have your views on any significant differences between the two images as viewed on your monitors.
I am sure that if very large prints were made from the 16-Bit Master files E.G. > 13.0" X 19" then the Sony should have a distinct advantage, but how about the images as viewed on your monitors at the distance that you would normally view an image of this size?
