RE: OT Albums to CD's
My wife bought me the ITUT400 model shown on that page - it worked a treat and the included software made losing the hiss, crackle and pop childishly simple. I can now cheerfully listen to the last of my '78's to have survived moves between four countries! Oh, and the software even tidied up one which had a crack right across one side - a bit of sellotape to keep it reasonably together was all that was needed.

I.e. all of the values fall between 2048 and 2080 mV at base ISO, or ETTR 4063 to 4095mV which get represented by the values 2048-2080 (or 4063-4095). You lost me here. If there's 5 stops of scene dynamic range, the low and high pixel voltages should differ by a factor of 32; for example, 64-2048 mV. You're taking the five bits off the top, not the five bits off the bottom. But you've got a point there. I think what you're trying to do, specifically, is reduce quantization noise--the noise caused by rounding to the nearest bit--by allocating your whole 12-bit dynamic range only to whatever the scene dynamic range is, without loss. My thinking is that that, especially if you expose to the right, quantization noise should be smaller than other sources of noise, such as photon shot noise and amplifier read noise. I don't, however, have figures for consumer sensors to back up this intuition. That's pretty much my idea. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Could you electronically boost contrast between sensor and A/D?
On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 3:52 AM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: You're taking the five bits off the top, not the five bits off the bottom. But you've got a point there. OK, thinking about it a bit more, you're asking about additive light, such as a veil of light scattered by fog. The original scene had some modest dynamic range (e.g. 5 stops) but once you add the veil of light, the light intensity seen by the camera has a much smaller dynamic range when expressed in stops (e.g. log2(2080/2048) in your example). The issue with additive light is basically the same as Why can't I see the stars in the daytime? There's a bright star in the sky that you can see easily at night. In the daytime, you're still getting all the photons from that star, but you can't see it because of the sky. But why? The answer is not trivial, and it has to do with the physics of light, rather than the way sensors or eyeballs work. If you wanted to model additive light naively in Photoshop or Matlab, you could add, say, 2000 counts to every pixel. Then, assuming you didn't saturate any pixels, you could go back through, and subtract 2000 counts from every pixel, and recover the original scene. I think this is what you propose the camera do for you, more or less. The problem is that the add 2000 counts to every pixel model isn't how the real world works. Light consists of discrete photons, which obey photon statistics. If you have a source that emits, on average, 100 photons/sec, that doesn't mean that photons come evenly spaced in time, 0.01 seconds apart, like cars on a train. Instead, during a small interval of time, like a microsecond, you have a certain probability of observing a photon. In the example of 100 photon/sec, in one microsecond you have a p=100*1e-6 = 1e-4 probability of observing a photon, and this is independent of what happened in the previous microsecond, or how long it's been since the last photon. In these short windows of time, photon arrival is a binomial process (coin flip with a biased coin), which leads to exponentially-distributed intervals between photon arrivals, and Poisson-distributed counts over longer periods of time. For larger photon counts, the Poisson distribution is well approximated by a normal (Gaussian) distribution, with a standard deviation equal to the square root of the mean. For example, in 1 second, you collect an average of 100 photons, with a standard deviation of 10 photons. So in a sequence of five 1-second exposures, or in five adjacent pixels of an array, your recorded counts might be 107, 89, 101, 106, 91. (I used an online RNG to create those example counts.) This variation is usually called photon shot noise. Now let's work an example with additive light. Since this is a thought experiment and we want the math to be easy, we'll use a Gedankendetektor 16, which has a 16-bit ADU, perfect quantum efficiency, and unity electron gain. That is, every photon hitting a pixel excites one electron, and every electron reads out as 1 ADU (A/D unit, also called DN digital number or just count). All the way from 1 photon = 1 e- = 1 ADU up to 65535 photons = 65535 e- = 65535 ADU. The Gedankendetektor 16 has a read noise of 5 e-/pixel = 5 ADU/pixel. Now we observe a star. The light from the star falls on a single pixel. The sky is perfectly dark--there is no additive (scattered) light. During our exposure, say 1 minute, we record 100 photons = 100 ADU from the star. Our read noise is 5 ADU, so our signal-to-noise is 100/5 = 20. The star is well-detected and clearly visible. Now we add scattered light--sky brightness. During the day, we have a lot of scattered light from the sun, giving us a blue sky. During a moonlit night, we have less scattered light than in the daytime. During a moonless night, we have less than that, but still a some from atomic and molecular transitions in the atmosphere and light pollution. During the same 1 minute exposure, we still get 100 ADU from the star, but our sky brightness, which is added to that, averages 1,000 ADU/pixel. We can measure and subtract off the mean level of 1,000 ADU, but the photon shot noise, sqrt(1000) ADU/pixel = 32 ADU/pixel, remains. Our signal to noise is now 100/32 = 3. The star is 3-sigma above the background noise. This is not very good, and would not usually be considered a detection. (Remember, our star is actually on top of noise; if it happens to be on a high point of the noise, we might measure that pixel 4- or 5-sigma above background; but it's just as likely to fall on a low point and measure 1- or 2-sigma above background, which is well deep in the noise.) (Note: We still have the 5 ADU read noise, but it's small compared to the photon shot noise, and when you add them in quadrature, they still round to 32 ADU.) I want to stress that this dramatic reduction in signal-to-noise from scattered light is a physical reality of the light incident on our sensor. I've made up a sensor to

Re: OT - Another bad break for a cyclist
Sorry to hear. The guy apparently has serious problems. Hope you feel better soon. I learned not to confront truck drivers when I worked in New York. It must have been more than 25 years ago. I had been injured in a fall a few days prior and I could barely move my right arm. I was waiting to cross 7th Avenue in midtown, when a delivery van almost ran me down. As it sped by, I smacked the side of the van with my umbrella, which was in my left hand. The driver, a very large fellow who looked like a heavy from the Sopranos, stopped, got out and ran toward me. I flailed away with my bumbershoot to no avail. He punched me in the jaw and floored me, cracking a tooth and leaving me with a blue and swollen face. Truck drivers tend to be a breed apart.

Re: Manfrotto Ball Head
I have an opinion which is somewhat contrary. It is that if you are on a tight budget, then you can't afford to waste money - which is exactly what people do when they buy on price.

RE: Manfrotto Ball Head
That's a newer version of the one I've got. Great value for the money at that price. Fine for the FA*80-200/2.8 but not sturdy enough for the 300/2.8. Hmm. That's one type of lens I would've wanted to use this with. I photographed elephants in South Africa using a A 400/5.6 + 2XL supported by that ball head and the shots were sharp. I didn't tighten the ball head when I was shooting with a rig like that - the idea of it was to support the lens while I used one hand to hold the body and to track, and the other hand to focus and set the aperture.

Very moving, sir. As always, very well shot and edited. The shadow of the plane moving across the Polish countryside at the beginning and the flaring orbs at the end bookend it dramatically. I'm left to wonder if the teenagers understand what they saw at Auschwitz. They appear to be rather unemotional. Perhaps they are too far removed from the horrors of the holocaust to feel it deeply.

Re: OT - Another bad break for a cyclist
When I lived in Arizona there were nice bike lanes and even nicer canal trails so I could bike recreationally about 10-60 miles in relative safety. But I discovered nothing angers a motorist more than having to yield to a bicyclist, even for one second of braking. My last incident I was struck from behind by a negligent driver while traveling in the bike lane, and dragged along the street. The driver stopped and tried to assault me laying helpless in the street, but bystanders intervened. Cops investigated. They tried to say it was my fault because of lighting, until I pointed out my bike's two powerful headlights, taillights, reflectors, and that the street lighting for a hundred yards in any direction was bright enough to read by. The damage to my bike and his car was consistent with my story. I got a free attorney consult and discovered auto insurance normally would pay approximately 3 times my medical expenses. My suggestion is to record all expenses, maybe some future compensation will help. It is in many ways a PTSD type of injury with lasting effects. I got $3500 and a new bike - paid from his policy. It wasn't enough, but better than nothing. After a couple of years the nightmares of being helplessly dragged finally went away. And to all of us, please remember no cyclist can possibly cause a substantial delay, so keep a cool head and a sharp eye. Now I still use horns, lights, reflectors, bright apparel, cell phone, etc. I've added pepper spray (dog and human strength), a small steel object designed to destroy auto windows (in case I have to rescue a motorist)... and much more. All legal and backed by proper training, of course.
