Title: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Danne on July 30, 2013, 09:05:45 PM
A thread to share photos taken with dual iso. If you want to try and learn how please enter this thread here. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7139.msg62864;topicseen#msg62864

Some more examples of what dual iso can achieve. The shadows pop out like never before. Mostly used interval between 100-1600 and ETTR to find exposure settings. Works perfect most of the time. From a visit in Copenhagen. I used a 5d mark 3.

*updated with more pics and with 900px width, maximum forumsize.

Some tips:
- 160 is just 200 darkened
- on 7D you don't gain anything above 1600 => try 100/800 or 100/1600, but not more
- UniWB no longer makes sense, because you have raw zebras and histogram

Good tips.

I know ISO 160 is just 200 darkened, I used 160 because of the known vertical banding issue on 7D, while extreme recovering the shadows. It's weird, but you get less vertical banding on 160 rather than on 100 or 200, I don't know why, it just works for me.

I'll still try raw zebras and histogram, Dual ISO was my first ML test EVER : )

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Iq82g7NeK4I/UgBxWBmgeiI/AAAAAAAAAz8/YHDhnPgSHWA/s577-no/_MG_3695-3.jpg)

My thoughts about it:
1 - Without Dual ISO, ISO 160 has less vertical banding than ISO 100. But with Dual ISO I get no vertical banding at all, on both ISOs, that's good.
2 - Sharpness and color noise was way better without Dual ISO.

If you have some tip to improve my shots, I'd be glad if you share it : )
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: a1ex on August 06, 2013, 08:20:15 AM
Hm, the banding from ISO 100 looks familiar. Can you check whether it repeats every 8 pixels? If yes, I may have a fix.

For sharpness, it matters a lot whether the tested area was covered by both ISOs (where you get full resolution) or only one (where you get half resolution and possible aliasing and moire).

Can you upload the CR2 files?

And yes, the vertical banding repeats every 8 bits.

Ok so I took some test pics, but not sure if I use it right.. judge and comment :)

@Danne, do you experience any trouble with the Auto ETTR when shooting non live view?
For me it's rather random, sometimes (only sometimes) it works fine, but most of the time it just lights up the LV and state Auto ETTR and then shut down right away without doing any changes... but when shooting in LV it works fine most of the time (sometimes I get rather random results though). I've been trying to search and read up on how to best use the Auto ETTR but haven't found much..

Anyhows here are my test pics all shoot at f/8 straight out from camera (obviously the DUALs have been converted) only added tiny sharpening in LR5. DUAL ISO set to 100/800

First ISO 100 1/100sek
(http://s21.postimg.org/fm513m3yf/UAL4352.jpg)

Then a DUAL one exposed for ISO 100 1/83sek
(http://s14.postimg.org/ns74fo6w1/UAL4350.jpg)

DUAL with Auto ETTR gave me ISO 100 1/41sek (seem to get some blown out highlights but maybe that should be fixed in post?)
(http://s18.postimg.org/52k04apft/UAL4351.jpg)

Then I tried to make the ISO 100 and the DUAL Auto ETTR to look as similar as possible by changing exposure, pulling down highlights and boosting shadows, tweaked blacks and whites a bit too, everything else untouched. Oh sorry I had to change the white balance too as the colors were way different the DUAL one was a lot warmer (as you can see comparing the first 2 pics), sampled it from the same spot on both.

First out is the ISO 100
(http://s23.postimg.org/qs0pqlsxn/Adjusted_2.jpg)

Then DUAL Auto ETTR ISO 100/800
(http://s23.postimg.org/cj5oma3sr/Adjusted.jpg)

Don't know really but almost seems like ISO 100 is coming out on top for the shadows? The DUAL ISO one is more vibrant though, a bit like boosted saturation! BUT maybe I'm using it all wrong? And I did shoot hand held so I know the frame isn't exactly the same (which I find a bit annoying, should have brought my 3pod)

So let me know what you think, tell me if I'm using it completely wrong etc, just shout anything at them :)
CR2s are available if anyone should be interested.

On a side note, imagine if we could have the duals processed in camera :)
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Danne on August 12, 2013, 11:56:08 PM
Hi Magic 7D. Nice work with the dual iso tests. I think the best benefits with dual iso is that you are able to photograph motion. In static situations one can do hdr. However I feel dual iso gives more natural results than working with more files that often removes shadows etc to much.
Looking at your posted examples you probably could have done the picture with native raw. It,s in the extreme situations dual iso will work best.
I seldom use ettr at the moment, instead I set the ev+3 or 4 and than I simply meter the low iso in camera and mostly I get a good exposure for shadows in the ev+3 or +4 iso range. You could try to set the base iso at 100 and then the ev+ and switch to Av mode. Should give consistent results.  Ettr works ok most of the time. Often when I get some random results with ettr I simply do some readings on a dark area with no highlights to "wake up" the function. Usually after that I get good readings.
Please feel free to post some more examples and good luck

Second one it's the opposite. The blown areas are just to disturbing.

I've been experimenting with the dual ISO feature for my 5DII for a couple of weeks.  A huge thanks to A1ex and the gang for giving me the ability to do Zero Noise in my camera in a single exposure.  Unreal!

This exposure was rendered in Raw Photo Processor (RPP) - RPP has no noise reduction.  Tonal and contrast edits in Photoshop.  Remarkable image quality, especially considering the magic that is going on in the image acquisition and conversion to DNG.

You're right it is a fully manual 14mm Rokinon fisheye lens. I had an F-stop of 2.8- wide open, and a 25 second exposure. It was shot with my 6d and in post I applied a light S curve and cropped to straighten. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me I would love to help.

@kirkt also has some cool examples and in-depth analysis here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1333150

Hi A1ex, thanks for noticing.  Here is a comparison I did using the above image I posted earlier in this thread.  In the below post, I was comparing the dual ISO shot with a conventional raw taken at the same settings immediately after acquiring the dual ISO shot.  Not only is the visual annoyance of noise reduced, but the tonal and color fidelity in the deep shadows is maintained and permits more flexible post-production.

Here is another example, shooting a scene that would typically make me consider using an HDR approach.   This gives you an idea of the DR of the scene (about 13 stops) - the face is backlit and difficult to bring out without good data.  This rendering is hyper real, in that the interior light level was lower than is depicted here.  However, with good data, you can craft the image the way you want to!

Here is a composite of the raw and ML DNG in RPP.  Both files have been pushed 4 stops to expose the face in the shadow tones.  What a difference.

I gave it a test for portraits to see how it would affect midtones: (dng left side, I took 2 shots, one raw and another for dual-iso)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2y3KfDwffWQ/UmzYcpwpFVI/AAAAAAAATrU/3XL760NNFyc/w958-h538-no/Screen+Shot+2013-10-25+at+8.19.11+PM.png)
Not that noticeable when zoomed out. Please ignore the color, must be some color adjustment I missed in editing.

Zoomed in:

Moire is kind of bothersome for the hair, in some shots it went really bad for the skin detail.

Interesting to note the banding in the sky:

Dual-iso setting is 100/1600

I'm going to try a less powerful setting next, maybe a 100/400, I really don't like moire even in the midtones (maybe a lesser setting may prevent it? ). Kind of hard to fix it without affecting detail. I still like dual-iso, it has it's use for high contrast situations, but it would've been great for general use.

If you overexpose a regular image, you loose all detail to white.  With dual-ISO, you can overexpose highlight detail at the expense of less resolution in those highlights.  One of the primary goals when using dual-ISO is to consider where wanted detail, must retain full resolution.  So for skin tones, your base/recovery ISO must be set where the skin tones haven't been overexposed in either ISO. 

The same applies for the shadows.  Only in this case, we keep the full resolution but suffer the noise.

I'm not sure what banding you are describing.  Note also you have described ISO 100/1600 but the LR panel it's ISO 400.

Why do you dual_iso a static scene - to save shutter cycles, or to save time on the whole pano? Strictly speaking this would be a scene for traditional bracketing which would give you lower noise and higher resolution in shadows/highlights.
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Andy600 on December 01, 2013, 10:16:57 AM
Bracketing might be the traditional way to do things but ...1. No tripod with me 2. it took about 10 seconds to shoot 3. Dual ISO = less card space used (compared to 8x bracketed shots) 4. I was out shooting video that day 5. one less step in post (HDR merge) ;)

Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Africashot on December 01, 2013, 01:05:55 PM
Most of these shots here look really great, I don't know why but every-time it I give dual ISO a shot and use it together with the ETTR function (I lack the estimation of setting the split ISOs myself) my shots just tent to turn out extremely underexposed, often beyond recovery... this might be because I mostly tried in interiors where there might be too much difference between high and low lights, or it is simply too dark for a slowest shutter speed of say 1/60 for handheld... anyway these samples make me a bit jealous!
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Andy600 on December 01, 2013, 02:02:56 PM
@Africashot - It's more luck for me. I tend to not use auto ETTR. I snap a few shots and if the preview looks very slightly over exposed I know I'm in the range. If they look dark I adjust the settings.
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: Africashot on December 01, 2013, 02:12:14 PM
Thanks! That might be a better way to go... I am so inexperienced with Dual ISO I was actually under the impression the preview wouldn't tell me much about the final image, also I thought it would probably be easier to recover shadows then highlights in this case, but this sounds like the way to go, I'll try it as soon as I get a chance!
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: 1% on December 01, 2013, 11:35:52 PM
Last bit of shooting its been pretty good, esp outdoors. I set minimum to 1/60 or like 1/250+ (driving), clip green... also the raw histo will tell you where you are in terms of ETTR so something like +/- 1 is alright without auto.... I also noticed the preview seems a lot darker than the shot when imported to light room. I was thinking a bunch of shots were way worse and then pleasantly surprised when editing.

Then again sometimes it will take a shot with bright light and  blow the hell out of it... I had this prob on waterfalls most noticeably, indoors it would occasionally pump the ISO up too high ignoring that I'm shooting a well lit subject for the background. Not sure if changing metering mode helps, it didn't seem to. So I'd have mad motion blur of something moving on a stage but the darkened background lit to daylight levels (bleh!)

When dual ISO was picked it usually made sense though unless it did the flip flop like 800/100, then my shot turns out half res for 90% of the pic and really dark, needing +5 in LR.

I.e. wtf did AETTR+DUAL do here:

Post by: a1ex on December 02, 2013, 06:58:49 AM
How did the previous shot (3284) look like?

If it was slightly overexposed, ETTR maybe didn't know how much to go back, and just underexposed by a large amount (so the next picture, 3286, should be pretty good).

Blending info (I used this script (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7022)):


raw/2151.DNG:
--temperature=5000 --green=1 --saturation=2.5
    midtones: brightness level  7598 => exposure +0.75 EV
  highlights: brightness level 36122 => exposure -0.50 EV
     shadows: brightness level   245 => exposure +1.68,+2.62,+3.55,+4.48,+5.42,+6.35 EV

raw/2157.DNG:
--temperature=5500 --green=1 --saturation=2.5
    midtones: brightness level  3319 => exposure +2.12 EV
  highlights: brightness level 44011 => exposure +1.24,+0.37,-0.50 EV
     shadows: brightness level    61 => exposure +3.16,+4.20,+5.24,+6.28,+7.32,+8.36 EV


The improvement from 100 to 100/1600 is smaller than I thought; I can barely see any difference when looking at the pics on the monitor without zooming. Guess I should try something a little more extreme :D

The differences in the dual-ISO shot will be more apparent if your printing large.  There's lots of detail in the shadows also which helps to hide the noise.

Hi all.  First of all I want to thank the ML team for coming up with such a wonderful software.  I have been a long time Canon user experimenting with Nikon at the moment but very soon I will be buying Canon 60D or 7D.  I am still in the decision process.

I wanted to ask about something that got me somewhat confused.  At the first few posts of this thread I remember reading "Dual ISO" feature was only available to 5D Mark 3 and 7D cameras.  But I saw Dual ISO pictures from 60D and even 50D cameras.  What am I missing exactly?

Main reason I am asking this question is buying a 60D is easier for me than buying a 7D.  I have used both cameras before and even though I want to buy the 7D my budget may not be able to afford it and I want to make sure I'll be fine with 60D.

I'm really interested to see your photos but unfortunately your links are broken - DropBox permissions issue maybe? The reason I'm so curious is because I'm going to Son Doong Cave in April and have been wondering what sort of results I'll be able to get with dual ISO. I'll have limited battery capacity, will only have once chance at the trip and I won't be able to do any processing until the trip is over so the more prepared I can be the better.

Indeed, sharing a shot here that was also taken with dual ISO - maybe not the best example for a situation that has a lot of dynamic range, but still, the difference was noticeable that day from dual and non-dual iso shots :) Point is, dual iso takes away nothing from shooting moving objects.

The use of dual_iso is questionable for static scenes, as some shots in this thread are - is this explained in the in-camera help lines(s) clearly enough? For a good example look at the cat shot above.

This method is ok if you just want a quick hdr extension, but otherwise you might want to try dual_iso vs. an actual 2x bracketing enfuse/hdr shot with overlap of ~2ev... and I would suppose for "keepers" with details in the shadows and highlights a >2x multiple bracket will be superior hands down if viewed @100% mag.

Negative!

Most all of the original problems with dual_iso are now fixed with the latest cr2hdr.

Bracketing shots will have motion effects on all but the extreme static scenes.  Kill the shutter faster.  Arguably, longer to post process. 

That's 3 issues with bracketing vs dual_iso that I can think of, off the top of my head.  Using ISO to bracket, instead of dual_iso, now that would be silly :P

Of course your evaluation and choice of words is of course up to you, but from my experience I strongly disagree with your assessment, and afaik alex also wrote that dual_iso is for high dr motion. Btw usually you will do shutter bracketing, not iso.

Even ignoring the acr wb problem the loss of fine detail in shadows and highlights is  noticeable, an inherent problem since the dual_iso shots simply only have half of the data. Also with "real" bracketing you have a wide post-processing choice, often exposure fusion is preferable to blending/hdr... not to speak of real detail work with ps layer. I'd advice every aspiring "dual_iso only" user to really try both options and look for the advantages and disadvantages him/herself.

a1ex shared 1 aspect of photography where dual_iso would rain supreme, yes.
As a photographer, you understand the rules of exposure and composition, then you break them.

I use dual_iso, every, single, time, the shadows in my shots are more the -8 EV from saturation.  I don't conform to rules.  I make things work as I need them too  ;)

Depends on the hdr software you're using, at least Photomatrix is extremely effective in compensating small frame differences - and all my lenses save one have IS anyway.

I admit I'm often shooting worst-case situations - furry animals with a good lens, so there's a lot of very fine detail esp. in the highlights and this is where I see the resolution loss of dual_iso. Still, better than clipping and no details at all, that's why I'm a big fan of it :-)

This is my first dual-iso image.  Driving home the other day, a really awesome thunderstorm was rolling in. I drove out into the field on the farm to get a wide, clean shot of the impending storm.  I used my 50 f1.8 on my Canon 6D and shot in dual iso 100/800.  It really helped me to get the bright clouds and the dark soil all in one shot.   The final image here is a pano stitched together in CS6.

Thanks for all the amazing work ML!

Danne,

The images with and without seem to be the exact same photo as  moving subjects seems to be the same.  With and without dual ISO would have to be two separate shots right ?   Cause you have to turn it on and off to take the two different shots yet moving objects seem to be in the same exact place.  Does this suggest that the differences can be HDR or post processing techniques ?

Thanks,
Scottie :o

Hi! It is the same pictures. The comparison reveals the higher dynamic range between the untouched lowest iso and the processed photo lifting back all those nice noisefree shadows. Of course it would be an even better comparison if I got a normal shot as well to put next to the dualiso-file

Sigma 35/1.4 art @ f/8.0, ML ISO 100/800 (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=10111.0).  20 images stitched in PS.  Some light processing with Viveza, to make the clouds a little more menacing.

The hardest part was brightness matching the exposures, due to the current DNG rendering method, that's based on the WL of the images.  There's probably an easier way, but I ended up just matching the exposures based on the histogram.

I've spoken to a1ex about it, fingers crossed it's somewhere near the top of his todo list.

Here is another one, looking opposite to the last, just before it bucketed down with rain.

After seeing some of the other images in here, I'm a little ashamed to even post this. But here is my rough and dirty first test with dual ISO.
I was on a walk and there wasn't much catching my attention, but there was some wide DR between the setting sky and dark foreground. I took the opportunity to give it a whirl.

The only processing was some of RAW Therapee's auto highlight recovery, etc...

I'm a gig/event photographer experimenting with dual ISO.  It's been great in environments where there is such a strong contrast for things like stage lights and flash work.  A couple of examples.

Not sure if this is a good candidate for Dual ISO, but I went for it anyway

Interesting combining flash with dual iso(second picture). Do you think the result would be different with regular raw in this case?

Third photo looks relly good. I like it a lot

The big win for event flash photography is getting more DR in the backgrounds.  Especially events like festivals where you notice that background lights colour channels cap out really quickly and everything just looks really smudged.  Dual ISO has helped me immensly shooting manual flash in a pinch in this environment too - my TTL flash was stolen a while back and I haven't been able to afford a replacement.

Most of the examples here seem to be scenes which makes sense.  We've all seen overexposed skies and can appreciate at a glance how big an improvement we are getting with Dual ISO.  I question why most people haven't really discovered it for portrait/event/performance/street style stuff where the loss of detail across the frame matters less and your RAW files has much more flexibility in what you get out of a shot that is just snapped 'in the moment.'

If there is one downside for me though, it's shooting an event (200-400 shots) and leaving them to brew overnight, ultimately costing me 60mb each shot.  Here I was thinking that buying a 6D would be a good move to preserve HDD space - hah!

Hi, can anyone post a sample of a high base iso image using this? High like ISO4000, and then compared to ISO4000/8000 maybe
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: a1ex on May 22, 2014, 07:57:00 AM
ISO 4000 is actually 3200 pushed, and sometimes 1600 pushed (so you lose highlights and you gain nothing in shadows). Between 3200 and 3200/6400, the winner will be 3200.

If your minimum ISO ends up greater than 400, do not use dual ISO. Even if the minimum ISO is 400 (as in 400/1600), think twice before using it. Stick to plain old ETTR instead.

Dual ISO is most effective at 100/800, 100/1600, 100/400 and maybe 200/1600.

(I should probably add this advice in the menu)

@patiferoolz

not sure how accurate this is but its a step to what you are looking for, i use 320,640 or 1600 sometimes 3200, cleanest results iv had using them.

I don't use dual ISO all that much, but I didn't have a tripod with me for these first three:

(the ND makes some strong color casts that are hard/impossible to rectify, I don't have the $$$ for a really nice one)

add an off camera flash on it's most powerful setting (which still wasn't enough):

A hawk family lives around my house and he often comes to the trees in and around the garden. Yesterday he was  eating a garden lizard and screaming at the top of his lungs. I guess he thought that it was tasty! Take a look. Personally, I'd pass ;)

Shot with 5D3 firmware 1.2.3

The first one was shot with a 100-200L @200mm, ISO 100/1600, F/8, 1/250
The second one was shot with a 100-400L @400mm with a 1.4x so @560mm, ISO 400/6400, F/8, 1/200
I left the exif on so you can see but imgur.com kills it :(.

I was shooting against the light. The sun is a little to the left of the bird.

dual iso is way better than bracketing, and it makes photos look better than the usual jpg. but take some time prosessing though. excellent new feature. nice colors. this is how images should come out from canon by default in jpgs.

Post by: dualiso on June 15, 2014, 12:32:50 AM
had some time to take photos with dual iso today. here is what i think.
this is hdr properly made. there are some quirks to the process though. and to taking photos as well. it feels a little like developing photos. because you do not see on the screen of display the photos. you see some kind of lines there. for a second it shows large resolution with lines then smaller resolution. and you do not know what you took, can't tell if it properly in focus. and only on computer you develop the raw file you can see what you got. before i did not like raw files. people said that raw is digital negative. well jpg is also digital negative, you can edit it just as raw file. now there is a point of using raw with dual iso. i really like the dinamic range on the photos with dual iso. just take more time developing them. i would avoid taking photos where there is a difference in brightness because i would have to espose either on the bright or dark part. now i can take a photo and get what i can see. and i like that there is only one photo. because with bracketing you take a few photos and people would have moved, or leaves on branches would have moved. and even when you combine them in hdr the photos do not look right. they look like they make you puke, too many colors, hallow where overlap with bright and shadows. dual iso does not have those, single photo, no hallow in overlaping areas of brightness and shadow. thank you a lot. but does need work, like main is to see the photo you took without the lines etc, so that you knew what you took, so that you can tell if it is sharp, or at least not revet to lower resolution in preview in half a second. thanks

Blew out the background highlights for impact on this shot, but I love the contrast I could bring back in the tree to compositionally bring your eyes back to the flower girl.

Favourite part is it was an unstaged/candid photo.  I was the second shooter and the main photographer had the wedding party posed over to camera left.

I spent a lot of time removing hot pixels from these...and they were only 10s exposures. I've tried 30s, and there are just tons of hot pixels, but if you have the time to remove them, you can get some great stuff.

Well, I was is Costa Mesa, California for 4 weeks and discovered in the third week that the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve was just 15 minutes walking distance from my hotel. Luckily, I had taken my 5D3 with the kit lens, my 100-400 and the 1.4x. So I went over to the preserve a few times - four or five I think. There is a good amount of wildlife there. These are the ones with DualISO. To see others I have posted, you can visit my post on CanonRumors http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=22003.0 (http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=22003.0).

I use dual ISO more and more, I love DR. So much that I'm considering switching to the Nikon D810 if Canon's coming technology still show crappy DR.

On this panorama taken at the same time, I forgot to adjust color temperature for each DNG and I thought it looked pretty cool:

Some recent examples, no need to apply any NR in post.  Shot with the 5DIII, build 63b2f145cb3b.  Processed with the cr2hdr executable for Mac embedded in the LR plug-in (command line).  DNGs processed in ACR and PS.

Sorry for bad english, I want to say a huge thank you to those who develop ML! Plugin double iso work wonders !! Quality such as removing from the hands could not even get through the HDR. First time trying to plug. All greetings from Russia (Caucasus).

I've been shooting dual iso now for thousands of pictures in all kinds of types of shooting, action, still, etc. In still shots I'm not seeing anything, but positives.

I suspect, but don't know for sure, does dual iso cause softer focusing when using higher shutter speeds?

Specifically using AI Servo and highspeed shooting.

For some reason my Dual Iso 3X crop movie files would have alternating green and magenta tinted frames even when white balance was set the same for both frames. It is wierd. It doesn't happen when I shoot dual iso regular mode but aliasing is pretty bad. Wish there was a software that can get rid of dual iso aliasing. : (

Long time reader, first time poster. For the most part I have been using ML for the invalometer and bulb timer and has worked flawlessly and have started to explore the dual ISO feature.

I am interested in how people shoot in the field with dual ISO. I understand you shoot for the base ISO for the highlights and ETTR but how do you come about your 'recovery' ISO? Do you guess the gap? Shoot multiple gaps or liveview the exposure and work from there? Interested to see how people work in the field with this.

I'm normally not into standard images, I always try to do HDRs between real & comic view. But to show that 70d (YEAH, fresh ML!) is also capable now of ML & dual ISO here's one of my first tries. One is drago (luminance-hdr) developing only, showing a slightly real result, the other one is a mix of several HDR developments of luminance-hdr to have that "comic feeling". For bracketing images, it's mostly a harder effect, in dual ISO I cannot do full comic without having too much noise at the pics.

Those are ISO 100/1600and I found them in result slightly unsharp, I had to resize them to have'em sharp enough. It seems you lose a bit sharpness during the process or the image itself had been unsharp, I really don't know exactly.

I used Dual-Iso to take all of the images in this album. They are not great photographs and I processed them in a very contrasty way though, so it can be hard to tell, but the difference between regular cr2 files and Dual-Iso files are really dramatic.
Any Canon 650D owner probably knows that that the noise levels of this camera is a pain in the ass, especially when you try to pull the shadows even a tiny bit.
Dual - Iso sorted all of these issues for me. So whenever there is no tripod around, Dual-Iso is on.

Latest Dual Iso Picture :)

Zeiss 35mm

100/1600 ISO

Converted with Photoshop. Love the dual iso feature even for black and white images. So much control over the light!

And another one :)

These two images were shot on a trip to Lisbon, where I was taking all of my images with dual iso feature turned on. At first I was a little afraid, that I would end the trip with about 500 unusable pictures, but they turned out to be far better than I thought they would end up being. I won't do it again though. Using dual iso I realized, that in most cases I won't need it. Mostly it looks unreal and unpleasing to push the dr too much. I'm a total fan of subtle effects in that matter. So most pictures I ended up grading normal in a way I could have done without dual iso. For certain situations though I like it. The best thing about it is, that you can adjust the lighting in post, without having to think too much about it while taking the images. Taking a proper exposure in the first place is of course the far better option, but for spontaneous pictures, where you have to rely on camera metering, it can be a blessing to have it turned on.

I've experimented a bit with Dual ISO on my Canon 60D, not with any great success. I am primarily looking to reduce noise in shadows. First time I tried it with a high-contrast area, it had bad sawtooth artefacts in the transition, which I think A1ex subsequently fixed according to a post. I just did a quick test today when out, a shot from within the car on a sunny day. All I see is the reduced resolution, no gain in quality. I would still like to experiment with the method using 2 brackets on a tripod, but I have to change ISO without bumping the camera.
Here's a crop (http://users.tpg.com.au/staer/DualISO/DualISO-cr2hdr-Beta2.0.jpg) from my experiment using a Canon 60D with Magic Lantern Nightly.2015Jan24.60D111 and Dual ISO set to 100/1600 and decoded using the Mac version of cr2hdr 2.0 Beta

I was using a Canon 6D with 100 iso and 1600 or 3200 combo (6d is really good with high iso). I was underexposing about 1 stop or more to keep lot of highlight.
All the photos are process with lightroom and the cr2hdr plugins.

I've been using dual iso for a while now, with varied success. Having the function fail on a frequent basis doesn't help but when it works I've been pleased with the result on the vast majority of occasions. Every now and then, though, one really gives me what I wanted and this is one of them:

I don't do the "ettr" because: for the exposure I don't use preview, histograms, zebras, etc. but only my exposure meter ( a Sekonik L-398A ) because I'm learning cinematography and I also shoot 16mm color and bw negative. The exposure index is the film/sensor sensitivity or speed.

From a total noob. Intrigued by the concept of Dual ISO. Understand the concept. Installed the LR Plugin. Set my 70d to 100/1600 and took a completely nondescript photo.

Imported the cr2 into LR and with no adjustments, exported using the cr2HDR plugin.

Then exported the DNG to a 90% jpg, and again, no adjustments, here are the results:

Post by: kidfob on February 17, 2016, 12:50:46 PM
Appreciate it DeafEye. I got tired of the Lightroom plugin, so I use cr2hdr and an application I created myself to batch process folders of CR2s and DNGs (I've called it Dual ISO Processor). I will create a new thread and release the app to the community as open source by the end of this week.

What made you ask? Did something seem unconventional about what I was doing? :)

Just curious if you had used the recent updated 20-bit cr2hdr version that's all. Looking forward to your application.

If you are on Mac ... Check out MLVFS or MLP which both are incredible apps.
Title: Re: Thread photos dual iso
Post by: kidfob on February 17, 2016, 07:41:26 PM
Levas & DeafEye, I believe the latest version of cr2hdr (Nov 24, 2015) is automatically 20-bit:
https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Other%20tasks/job/cr2hdr-20bit/

Anyhow, the app allows the user to point to the folder where cr2hdr is located so any version will work. The above is the version I tested with though.

It's a Windows Application. Perhaps someone can do a Mac Port if they feel its useful. Not sure what other folks are using to batch process Dual ISO images. I used to use the VB Script that was posted here a while back, but I wanted something powerful enough to process an entire directory structure and give diagnostic info and such.

MLVFS didnt work for me too well when I tried it. Im stil lan MLVRawViewer (and MLVMystic if any files give me trouble) guy.

MLProducer didnt play nice with me. I wanted to go from MLV to DNG. It seemed to want to convert to intermediary video formats. Maybe it was user error on my part....

Gotcha ... Sounds good and also with some of your shots it seems you were exposing for the highlights ... Try to use a little more of ETTR and then pull down in post. That way you will get less noise in the shadows and the highlights should still be there hence the full purpose of Dual-ISO.

I made MLP for mac work multithreaded and made dcraw snatch the correct white balance multipliers added to the created DNG files so using that is an alternative if you work with bigger batches of CR2 dual iso files.

Post by: mfturner on April 11, 2016, 07:41:13 PM
I have seen at lot of landscape and indoor examples for dual_iso, but not many wildlife or bird photos.  Birds in flight are almost always backlit, either bright sun or overcast clouds creating a silhouette.  Anything around water has specular highlights.  So dual_iso sounded like it was worth trying and I was not disappointed.  Everything below is 100/800 ISO on a 60D camera with a 300F4L lens, exposed using auto_expo with a few changes, -0.5 EV to protect hightlights exposed at ISO 100, and keep the shutter fast enough for active critters.

First attempt is my dynamic range winner at 13.08 EV on a 60D camera, too bad it isn't in great focus LOL.  I'll have to go back and see if that bird hangs around that pond.

Another on the pond, with 12.78 EV if I recall correctly:

Even small birds in trees with black feathering benefit in the feather detail, this one is a fairly heavy crop:

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1522/26099678460_b5796223e5_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/FLkF7d)IMG_6656xs (https://flic.kr/p/FLkF7d) by Mark Turner (https://www.flickr.com/photos/141770216@N03/), on Flickr

Now something interesting I found was that particularly in photos of this osprey flying, with large blue sky surrounding the bird, the shadows of the bird took on a heavy horizontal banding artifact in a lot of the photos.  Not in all, but in maybe 60%.  With birds and wildlife in general you cannot always get as close to the subject as you might like, so heavy cropping is sometimes the only option, and this is when artifacts such as this banding become an issue.  It is always accompanied with the cr2hdr complaint "Horizontal Stripe Fix...Offset too large", but I think this is just a symptom, I think the fullres algorithm is related to the problem because I can eliminate it entirely with --no-fullres option, at the expense of resolution of course.  Here is an example, first the full frame image where you won't see any real problems, for reference:

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1654/25767699784_e400a8eda2_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Fg1cpW)IMG_6589xs (https://flic.kr/p/Fg1cpW) by Mark Turner (https://www.flickr.com/photos/141770216@N03/), on Flickr

Next a 900x900 pixel crop at 100%, with default cr2hdr settings, to show the banding, It shows in the preview of this post anyway:

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1581/25769801983_38e14ae2fa_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/FgbYjK)IMG_6589full1x (https://flic.kr/p/FgbYjK) by Mark Turner (https://www.flickr.com/photos/141770216@N03/), on Flickr

And finally a halfres version using the --no-fullres option in cr2hdr.exe.  You can see the resolution loss particularly around the beak, but there's no banding, it's super-smooth...

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1514/26280177142_e9da1ab1ab_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/G3hM5s)IMG_6589half1x (https://flic.kr/p/G3hM5s) by Mark Turner (https://www.flickr.com/photos/141770216@N03/), on Flickr

But this is great stuff, I may use dual_iso in alternating mode for a while until I understand the banding a bit more, but some of those shots simply aren't possible with this camera without dual_iso.

Hi A1ex, try this:

Let me know if you can't get to it.  I have other images that do this if you want more examples, most have this feature of an object surrounded by blue sky, but not all.  I tried a couple of versions of cr2hdr, and debugged it this far searching the forum then using --debug-blend to see where it is introduced.  I can manually blend them in gimp (using a layer mask generated from a greyscale copy of the fullres image, then monkeying with the levels a bit to get more details).

I think you've protected to many highlights there.  Remember that ISO doesn't fix shot noise, only exposure, and at a rough guess I would say you're probably around a half stop under exposed.  Probably splitting hairs, but in scenes like this with constant scene luminance where you have the time to nail exposure............

Also, personally, I think you've gone a touch heavy with the shadow adjustment.  The first two shots especially look like you've gone more towards the "hey I've got lots of dynamic range" rather then using the contrast to your advantage.  I wasn't there so I don't know how bright things were, but I think I would keep some of those heavy noise areas in the blacks, as blacks.

But I like them, and you know what they say about opinions, everyone has one just like an asshole.

Actually I totally agree with you @Audionut as you can see I shot those three with each shutter getting longer from 1/20th to 1/13th handheld wide open @ f4 with the maximum acceptable ISO 100/1600 combo and tried my best to have it metered into the middle of the viewfinder but it was about over a half stop under exposed so guess I should have slowed the shutter down even more (or a faster fisheye lens) otherwise then I would need a tripod because apparently I'm not a professional photographer. If you want, I'll post up the DNG's to play with and Thanks for your kind comments & criticism! [emoji3]

I have just found the Dual ISO setting in ML and am stunned and exhilerated to try and get the best out of my photos with this. Hence I just went down the harbour to shoot some pictures.

However they are way over-exposed coming from LightRoom 5.3 in the Dual-ISO Magic Lantern conversion plugin out to DNG photos. What might be wrong with them. Why is the exposure that I have dialled in in LR disregarded in the conversion proces?   :o

If I choose one of my normal export presets, it gets correctly exposed, but with the interlacing horisontal lines...

When trying to compensate interior with exterior exposure I mostly use flash + Dual ISO. You can check the results here http://www.ramonclemente.com/portfolio/ (http://www.ramonclemente.com/portfolio/)

I usually try to bounce flashes on walls, ceilings or any other neutral surface I can find in the room. This particular room had two walls of red bricks, red bricks also in the ceiling, light brown tiles on the floor and very dark mahogany furniture (behind me) so bouncing the flashes would have cast red tints to the scene. The room had three 20W incandescent light bulbs.

This time I had no umbrellas or diffusers with me and the only way of getting a kind of natural look was using the few light coming from a dimly lit courtyard so I took a couple of Dual ISO long exposures. I also did bracketing as a back-up because I have to admit that I had not done long exposure using Dual ISO before. When photographing interiors my shutter times are usually from 1/4 to 1/160, this time I took one at 4" and another at 8".

I like the result. The only issue I find is that dead, hot and stuck pixels are more noticeable; they even seem bigger.

That's probably because of interpolation, but dual-iso conversors already have a algorithm for dead pixel removal...

In your user case, wouldn't be better to work with HDR, instead of dual iso?
I've already tried both (using HDRMerge (https://jcelaya.github.io/hdrmerge/) for processing) and HDR gives me better results (of course).
Dual Iso is very useful for high speed photography and MLV video, but if you have a tripod and time, HDR gives much better results.

Dual Iso is very useful for high speed photography and MLV video, but if you have a tripod and time, HDR gives much better results.

I do not only use Dual ISO because of its DR expansion but also because it helps me optimizing my workflow in most of my sessions. HDR means usually 3 bracketed shots + exporting those images to an HDR software + importing the tone mapped image to LR again... and that means extra time added to the session and therefore high prices for my clients. Of course that in high level shootings I bracket the scene and work with layers in PS but for mid-level ones DISO is the best option in my opinion to 1) get good results, 2) good prices and 3) be able to shoot many properties during high season. Anyway, as I wrote, I also took some bracketed shots just in case and these photos were a kind of experiment to see what the results would be using DISO in a very dark bedroom.

I didn't make any plans to shoot the solar eclipse on Monday and the morning started out with heavy overcast skies in Los Angeles. When it started happening I grabbed the 700D, put on a 135mm Rokinon with a Nikon 2x teleconverter and added a 2.1 ND filter. Just for fun I shot some dual iso and was able to pull some details in the the thin cloud layer covering the sun.

Post by: dfort on August 24, 2017, 06:29:00 AM
The settings I used were to set the shutter speed to 1/4000 sec. -- as fast as possible. I also had all of my ND filters ready and went from stacking a 1.2 and 0.9 (7-stops) to no filter, depending on the the cloud cover. The dual iso setting was 100/1600. I also had the intervalometer running so it was taking a shot every 10 seconds. I kept my hand on the F-stop ring and adjusted so that I could see something in the LiveView display. Not very scientific or well thought out but something I learned when I was making a living in photography is that the only thing that matters is getting the shot so bracket the hell out of it!

This is a shot without dual iso. The sun is pretty much burned out and this is as far as I could stretch the image.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4366/36596529892_5f08b272f2_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/XKUMkj)

If I were to do this again I'd seriously consider getting a 3.0 (10 stopper) ND filter or maybe even a 5.0 Solar Eclipse (16.5 stop) filter. Stacking filters and shooting straight into the sun is an invitation for some weird flare patterns.

This is what that dual iso shot on post 1761 (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7402.msg189014#msg189014) looks like before processing.

Not very impressive, is it? That dreaded costal marine layer really helped the shot and so did dual iso!

Cool! Thanks. So I will start scouting for ND filters now.

Yes, that marine layer of clouds in LA is something!

Insanely amazing work by @dfort and if you don't mind me asking what was the actual ISO for the non Dual ISO shot -- was it 100 or 1600?

100 -- You wouldn't use a fast ISO then add ND filters to counteract it would you? With dual iso I was able to knock it down enough so the sun was just clipping at iso 100 then dig out some details in the clouds with the 1600 iso. Without dual iso it was either severely clipped sun with clouds or detail in the sun with a black sky. I suppose shooting separate exposures would have worked but the clouds would probably move between exposures. I was right next to the ocean and these clouds were flying by low and fast.

Some Dual-ISO fun stuff coming from a SL1/100D shot in 100/1600 during the Women's March out in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend.

Operated entirely in AV mode (set it to +3/4 of a stop OE which is approximately 3 clicks to the right) since this seems to have served me well when it comes to shooting in Dual-ISO while there are constant changes in exposures and whatnot while marching along on the streets.

No time to hesitate. Just frame your shot accordingly and the rest is history!

Should have listened sooner. [emoji14]

Wow, you are so good at reportage, DeafEyeJedi :)
It's so funny and naive for the rest of the world... "Who runs the world girls" - Phhhh.... :)
Thank you, I'd like to be there :)
