Checking the Colorchecker
A more detailed look into photographs of a colorchecker. This latest article took long to write. Up to now I always used my colorchecker (A.) as intended and it was helping my efforts to exposure balance HDRIs to background plates. After all the working steps I could add a 3D render into the background plate […]

Hello 2021
This site got updated to the latest default WordPress theme “Twenty Twenty-One”. Hope you like it. When I think back what sites I visited the most in 2020 (related to nerdy stuff), where I spent the most of my “free” time reading, learning and participating, I came up with this small list of links: ACES […]

A first iPhone 12 HDR clip
I got my hands on an iPhone 12 (non Pro) and had to try immediately the new HDR mode in 4K@30fps. On my iPhone 11 ProMax the result looks quite good, on an 2020 iMac27 the quality of the video looks not that great. Click on the Vimeo link and compare the image brightness of […]

The “lazy” compositor
Use the “winner” HDRI from the previous article and render a car with “no” compositing effort. The previous article was already a bit long, so I split it up into two parts. Here it now the second part. I go over the preparation of the footage, render a car model and place it in the […]

Theta Z1 vs. Canon 7D
A direct comparison, shooting brackets back to back on a parking lot. It’s been a while that I wrote the last article in the color chart series. Actually it was January this year, but like it feels like years ago. This time I stick to my “best” workflow using CaptureOne for the RAW to TIFF […]
