Any thing Shot with a 5ds/r
- Thread starter gary samples

I am no.13 in line, so I cross my fingers for enough boxes in the first delivery. Rumours says it will be tomorrow ... Going to Crete on Sunday, so it would be fun to take it along.

As some of you know, I always start with a number of shots of The Local Lion. No new camera or lens without a series of good cat images 
The camera is over exposing, so I have to under expose a bit. On this first one I have only lower highlight a bit, to get some structure in his white fur. Look at the shadows. They look good to me.

This is the same image. Just for the example, since we have a couple of thousand posts about shadow noise, I have lifted shadows +100 in LR. (Highlights still a bit down). Everything else is default LR settings. Judge for yourselves.

Maybe some of the doubters will now back off a bit? No chance, but those lucky new owners certainly have what looks to be a very good performing camera.
For a good time there I was the only one paying attention to the very carefully worded comments by Canon, and it does mean we can have a more structured debate on what "traditionally measured" actually means because when I measured film DR years ago we actually had truly different DR capacities depending on the emulsion density and the density of the recording media (dye or silver etc), not just the same number range in a 16 bit file with more or less noise.

For the most part, I'm pretty impressed with my 5Ds R. The improvement in detail is as dramatic as you'd expect. I can't post a 100% crop at the moment, but in this image, I can see the expiration date on the sailboat's license tag:

I also really like the color rendition. Here's a one-second (+/-) exposure:

I briefly had a chance to experiment with shadow recovery. I shot a frame that included the sun. A ferry that was crossing the sound was nearly in silhouette in the JPEG. When I boosted the shadows +100 in Photoshop, I could actually read the name of the ferry. It lost a bit of the color, but the noise level in those extremely boosted shadows was surprisingly low. I'll post it when I have a bit more time.
