  •   Support New camera Wilfredor! :-). I like that the light looks so natural, not over processed, and that the high viewpoint helps keep perspective distortions to a minimum. The church is an interesting mix of new furniture and old style gilt and statues. There is a little loss of detail on the brightest parts of the central altar. I guess the sunlight coming in there is really bright. Is this an HDR or standard photo? I wouldn't want you to reduce the highlights more if that didn't recover any detail, as I like sunlight whites to be painfully white. At pixel peeping there is a bit of noise that perhaps could be avoided with a sharpen mask. You've exported this as "ProPhoto RGB" colourspace, which is too big for 8-bit JPG to handle, and might cause some viewers to see very strange colours. Could you export as sRGB please. -- Colin (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Colin, thanks for your review, and yes it's a camera from the Quebec WikiClub, they have lent it to me for a project to photograph church interiors. The quality of this camera is superior to my camera d7200 but it also generates very large files that are difficult to develop. I'm still using my d7200, because with the z7 ii I'm sometimes afraid to go out and take a photo of something meaningless because I'm supposed to shoot images that add value to Wikipedia. At the end of the project I must return it to the WikiClub. Regarding your comments I have applied a noise reduction, overexposure improvement and details of the altar, this image is an HDR of three exposures separated by two steps, I was mounted on a wooden surface and maybe there would be some vibration. --Wilfredor (talk) 20:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
U r a bit ruining it by using such a narrow aperture though (and no it's not needed for the DOF) - Benh (talk) 08:21, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Benh, thanks for your sugestion and you are very right, I waited too long for all the elements to come out in focus, however, what would be the correct aperture? (maybe f/8 in this case). I also made a panorama with a much higher resolution but my computer is not capable of unifying such large photos. Is there any technique to save this time? Should I reduce the size of these images?. Thank you very much in advance for the answers, maybe this could be discussed elsewhere --Wilfredor (talk) 01:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Wilfredor: getting the right combo depends on the "absolute" aperture (like f/8 on FF is a f/5.6 on APS-C), resolution and distance to the subjects. Since the z7 is very high res, I'd stop down as much as possible so I'd say f/8 or f/10 (after that you loose quality, but maybe the increase of DOF for the resolution makes up for it? f/16 has probably lost u sharpness, though it's still holding up well here). Most subjects are in the distance so that makes them easier to keep in the same "DOF area". As for ur very high size pano... I'm afraid I can't help. Only large amount of memory can :) FYI Diliff used 32Gb. (maybe a kubernetes cluster of 4-5 raspberry pi 4 @8gb would make a cheap Hugin panorama computation device?? Worth exploring...) - Benh (talk) 17:38, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
