Canon 7D with 50mm f/1.2 in low light and shallow DOF
2 years ago
Here are some clips (no sound) that we shot in the San Juan Bautista State Park. Especially the Bar room is very dark. All clips were shot with the 7D and the Canon 50mm f/1.2 (mostly about ISO 600 -800).
Shot at 1080p and down sampled to 720p.
We like this combination for indoor scenes.
Note: The Pool scene is not slow motion. We cannot really play these balls in a museum :-).

Prev week
Did you stop down the lens or was it fully open during all shots?
thx
Stopped slightly down. Old habit. 1.6-2.0 about.
I've seen you shot the same bar room with the GH1 as well, with the kit lens though. Comparing both cameras, what differences in low light handling did you experience?
thx Uwe!
This was way the best low light shots I got so far. The real comparison would be using top Leica or Zeiss lenses. Try to do this.
Also the auto WB was fine with the 7D.
Btw, it's always interesting for me to watch photographers enter the video area. There are stunning images in "Walking the Monterey Commercial Pier"!
Not planning for Holywood.
The contrast here is really tasteful, there is a really nice level to the low-end tonal range...
Any hints/experiences you've had would be very helpful,
thanks!
- Sharpening very low but not off
- Contrast low
- Saturation one step down
Quaite happy with my settings on the 7D. May need to tweek the GH1 settings though.
Would you recommend the 7D over the GH1 for video use only?
