I actually did an experiment on pentaxforums comparing the same shot, one with a grad and Nd filter and the other just using interval composite mode. I had people try to figure out which one was which and it was split 50/50. I don't use the mode much but have been thinking of using it more. Another cool thing you can use it for is shooting wind turbines. They end up looking like giant man made industrial daisy flowers.
Nice to hear about the explanation for the save process function where each image in the series is +1 of the previous image to show the steps. I had always used the end result and never bothered with the in- between stuff. Oh, and by the way, for the name - two hard consonants - hard “G” and hard “C” like “Gasoline” in the “Cayman” Islands, lol.
I have not used this feature due to the fact of moving branches around the subject and I know how to correct that by taking another single image at a shutter speed fast enough to correct the motion of branches and foliage and such around the subject. I have done that, but I am intrigued by the thought of basically adding more water flow, especially on lower flow periods. I will say I am enjoying your channel and the information and knowledge I am gaining about the K1. I am glad I stumbled across your channel. Thanks for sharing
That's super to hear I'm glad you're finding it informative. We're in this together, I love to learn too and try different things. I do plan to try a kinda happy medium with this technique in the future on some of my more serious landscape work. I believe a blend of slow mo with some texture from the water will be possible and add to the overall impact of the shot. Thanks again!
@@SummersSnaps Yeah, I like to show water flow while maintaining texture which is why my shutter speed for water falls is normally never slower than a half second, generally I prefer one quarter second.
@@tonyb2760 Yeh I feel the same. You might like the video I did about 'do you need a tripod' as it's about waterfalls (for the most part) and how even a good flowing fall at 1/6th or 1/8th can be had handheld and the water I think looks pretty darn good!
I've used the in camera averaging on the K3 but usually with longer exposures, enough that on a single shot you would get some motion blur, between 1/15s to 1s or more, just my using a low ISO / small aperture. What you get is a lot smoother looking image because you are averaging shots that already have some blur "built-in". I will use a cable release and hold it to get 10 to 20 continuous shots so there is no gaps between shots. Just be careful to not make the exposures too long for fear of the noise reduction kicking in which will introduce a small gap between each shot as the de-noising takes place making the result less smooth, causing a "stutter" in the images. Or turn denoise off for long exposures. Playing around, I had never been able to figure out the brightness mode, I guess the subject matter wasn't conducive to producing appreciable results. Now that I know how it works I'll know when to use it. Great video, thanks.
The Sigma fp as an 'ISO 6' (and up to the base ISO 100) which is somewhat similar to the Sigma SD Quattro SuperFineDetail (SFD) mode of a seven-shot composite into one image (to increase dynamic range and decrease noise, two problems with the Foveon sensor). All interesting stuff. -Tom
Yeh, I have heard of the insane IQ of this mode from Sigma. Pentax offer a similar mode called 'Pixelshift' which I talk about here; ruclips.net/video/045VuBTOoyU/видео.html
Another nice vid Eddy. I have tended to use the PS workflow for this but I reckon I will also give this a go as well. Always good to have alternatives to work with.
Thank you. I think the 'Bright' could be an interesting one, we have waterfalls that flow off from high cliff faces up here and when its windy it can really blow the fall around. It could be interesting to 'build' up the fall as the camera records and adds more and more of the sway of the water etc. Fun stuff to try out :)
Brilliant! Nicely explained Eddy. I'm going to be all over this like a rash.
Super, glad it was of some use or at least entertaining if nothing else.
Great video thanks Eddie, tried this a while ago but have been meaning to give it another go
Thanks!

Yes! I recall that shot of yours, one of my favorites I've seen of your work, it was a really cool effect!
