I thought I'd start a thread that honors the tradition of the prolific Fun with MF Images and the Technical Camera Images threads.
I think the availability of native/simple/fast/easy/gapless/in-camera/raw-file-creating Frame Averaging will completely revolutionize landscape and architectural photography. Because it's a new way of approaching exposure it's hard to know how to best use it, both technically and aesthetically. It raises questions like:
- what kinds of scenes does it work well in? When does it not?
- What per-frame shutter speeds are best in what situations?
- When is a normal long exposure a better option?
I'm hoping this thread can foster the kind of sharing and discussion that helps the community approach these questions and create an open resource for those looking to explore Frame Averaging in their work.
For an overview of frame averaging as implemented on the Phase One IQ4 see Phase One Frame Averaging. If other cameras add this kind of feature I encourage others familiar with those cameras to post relevant links/tutorials for those cameras as well.
I expect to contribute my own first images to this thread this weekend!
