British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire A miracle of optical engineering? Perhaps …

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire … but this is a better one.

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire Comparing Dynamic Range Dynamic Range Human Eye> 1,000,000 : 1 Human Eye (single scene)10,000 : 1 High-contrast Daylight Scene10,000 : 1 Point & Shoot Digital Camera256 : 1 Good Quality Digital SLR Camera2,000 : 1 JPEG Image File256 : 1 Conclusion: Ordinary digital photography can’t properly capture some scenes or even compete with the human eye.

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire Demonstrating the Problem

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire A Solution +2EV -2EV 0EV

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire The Process -Practically Mount camera on Tripod (although software can correct for alignment errors) Take multiple exposures of same scene – Typically +2EV, 0EV & -2EV – or +2EV, +1EV, 0EV, -1EV & -2EV – although more stops overexposure might be needed for caving use Use aperture priority Process in software to create HDR image

British Cave Research Association - Cave Technology Symposium th April 2011, Ashbourne, Derbyshire Tone Mapping HDR software generates an HDR image Can be stored using file formats designed specially for HDR images While Jpeg has dynamic range of 256 : 1.dds,.exr,.hdr etc. offer 64,000 : 1 or more But an LCD monitor provides 1,000 : 1 max Prints offer an even lower dynamic range Tone mapping is required to view on an ordinary monitor or print Provides scope for creativity
