Using the aforementioned profile I got some terrible results exposing to +2, but even dropping to +1 everything is still very difficult to pull back from the flat, crushed blacks look the aforementioned profile provides.. naise 2 year bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshFromPerth Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Here's the end product but I had to take that artistic direction rather than my preferred more natural approach because the light was just so poorly exposed. If you can't tell what I mean, I'll try and put together an ungraded clip today - The weather was tough, overcast raining in the background (no colour, blurred, little light) but I still found the footage needed so much work to get any contrast back which skewed the little colour there was present. Deadcode: I don't see any correlation between a GoPros capability and my question? Edit: Removed the question about EOSHD, read up about it. Is there anything the EOSHD profiles provide that I can't just experiment with and set myself? I thought it was some software rather than a PDF with settings recommendations webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I like it a lot. The music you picked fits the footage to a Tee. Well done. Good edits. JoshFromPerth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshFromPerth Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Thanks @webrunner5 Can you see how the footage has lost quite a bit of detail in the highlights though? I shot this using the recommended profile but I feel using +2 ev is way too much for surf / open outdoor Australian sun - perhaps I'd have been better using .5 if that, what do you think? Also I found it really tricky to bring the colour back in at that exposure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Are you shooting with the A6300 or a A7 series? I have pushed my A7s as much as 3 stops in Slog2. But not in really bright sunlight. Maybe try +1.5. You will get a lot of noise if you pull back too much. But noise is better than blown out everything. Slog 3 I am not fond of at all in a 8bit camera.
