Digital Photographic Practice. Ex.9. Scene Dynamic Range.

169 Orf:  Tone range is 12 - 250 if clipping of sky

is excluded. It would have required 4 stops less

to avoid clipping and led to considerable loss of

detail in the shadows.

219Orf :   Tone range is 20 - 210. The high

reading is on the lightest part of the sky and

the low reading on parts of the shore line and

the boat hull. No clipping occurred.

757Orf :  A flatter image. The only highlight

here is the offwhite bandage. The tone range

is 30 - 150.

774 Orf :   Tone range 15 - 240. No clipping

occurred. Shadow reading taken far left and highlight

on the girls right foot.

Nepal :   Similar range to the above - 15 - 220. At

first glance the Nepal image appears a lot flatter than

774 Orf  but tone highs such as the white shoe add

considerably to the range.

 

Moon :   Tone range is 4 - 250. Even the areas

that appear totally black have some detail. The

moon highlight is considerably clipped. This

can be tolerated in this image. All the cloud

detail around the moon would be lost if the

exposure had been set to maintain detail in

moon.
