The number one resource for information about HDR technology, workflows, tutorials, news and opinion.
Here's a frame grab from the project I'm working on now - shooting models with LED lights. Lumix GH5, Olympus 75mm f/1.8, HLG, 400Mbps, ALL-I, ISO 500, Lishuai 700RSV For those who are interested, here are screen grabs of the waveform scopes before and after applying the Leeming LUT at 100%.
Update: See new workflow with Leeming Fixie LUT here. For those looking to work with Sony's HLG, here's the workflow. Apple has gone ahead and and released what can only be described as a humungous update for Final Cut Pro, including the ability to edit 360° video, advanced color grading tools like curves and wheels, look up...

Ever since Fuji added 4K to the X-Pro2 with firmware update v.4, there's been a lot of hype about the video capabilities of the camera. But does extra resolution alone a video camera make? For one thing, unlike the more capable X-T2, in-camera sharpening and highlights/shadows cannot be adjusted while shooting UHD on the X-Pro2.... Continue Reading →
I’m at work on several projects at once: how to shoot models using natural light and how to shoot HLG and use the Leeming LUT in post. The frame grabs below were shot with HLG, 400Mbps, ALL-Intra, ISO 400. Leeming LUT applied, no color correction in post.
After being charged $50.00 to shoot at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum, being denied entrance to the Saigon Zoo and being chased off the grass at Tao Dan park, I thought it might be about time to look for some locations that were a little less hostile to photographers. So this afternoon, we set... Continue Reading →

This afternoon, it felt like I was carrying seventy pounds of gear with me down the alley in 90 degree heat to catch a... Continue Reading →
A reader over at EOSHD suggested I do a tutorial showing how I shoot and use HLG with the Leeming LUT, so we're at work on it now. Stay tuned!

Lumix GH5, 4K, 400Mbps All-Intra, ISO 400, Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN, Lumix GH5, 4K, 400Mbps All-Intra, ISO 400 I’ve been thinking of doing a comparison with the Veydra 16mm, one of the sharpest of the Veydras from my brief test. Of course, that would mean bringing out the old tripod... Continue Reading →
The Sigma may be a touch unwieldy, given its size and weight, but considering the extraordinary image quality, all can be forgiven. =) All screen shots are SOOC. Click to enlarge.
I only had a chance to shoot with the Sigma for a little over a day, but it's definitely a worthy successor to the 30mm f/1.4 DC DN, if not even sharper. It reminds me of nothing less than the Leica Summilux 12mm f/1.4, my favorite vlogging lens for the longest time - until the... Continue Reading →
The Sigma 16mm f/1.4, wide open. A blisteringly sharp lens with nice bokeh.Lumix GH5, HLG
It's been suggested that rather than spend my entire life savings on one anamorphic lens, that I should either get a Canon 5D3 or BMMCC and shoot RAW or pick up a true cinema camera like the BMCC, Ursa Mini Pro, the Canon C200 or an EVA1; or (gasp!) even try shooting Nikon, Sony or...

Just kidding! Before I delve further into the current monitor situation for HDR, let me first rattle off some of the specs of the 27" Dell UP2718Q, talk a bit about why it's so freakin' awesome, then why you might not want to pull the trigger just yet, and lastly suggest some options that won't require you...

OLED isn't the holy Grail: Most reviewers, and more importantly, professional colorists I've read and listened to in podcasts and in interviews believe that OLED delivers near perfect picture quality. CEO and General Manager of Flanders Scientific Bram Desmet has gone on at length about the superior picture quality of OLED. At the risk of repeating myself, DisplayMate considers the recent line...
