Hi, I've used this in the past for remote bracketing, works well http://www.breezesys.co.uk/DSLRRemotePro/index.htm Some other interesting bits on their site as well. And I don't think anyone as listed it in the thread but best place to look for basics and how things work is http://www.hdrshop.com/ Hope it helps Cheers Lawrence On 16 Jan 2013, at 14:35, Byron Nash <[email protected]> wrote: I find that the slowest thing on set is capturing all the exposures. I don't have a tool like the Promote Controller or any other device to automatically fire off the brackets. After seeing a video of the author of the HDRI Handbook on set, I'm convinced the fastest method is a pano rig like the nodal ninja with a spherical fisheye and something to fire the brackets automatically. In and out very quickly. > >On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Jahirul Amin <[email protected]> wrote: >Slightly off topic but this is pretty interesting stuff... > >http://fxguide.com/fxguidetv/fxguidetv-165-scott-metzger-on-mari-and-hdr/ > >J > > > >On 16 Jan 2013, at 13:19, Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> wrote: >We do pretty much the same - a fisheye lens shooting in 3 directions for good overlap, 10 exposures via software control and stitch the result into a fairly highres LatLong HDRI 360. This is good for lighting and in most cases reflections too, but hardly enough resolution for a background. The software control for multiple exposures makes for better quality HDRI's as clouds, cars and pedestrians move less, and we can get in and record the HDRI in about a 10th of the time we used to without it, in all only some 5 minutes break for the crew for one HDRI. The Director and 1st AD will be much happier too. >> >>The chrome ball comes in to use in tight spaces where it is hard to fit in a camera on a tripod, but it is mostly sttting and collecting dust on a shelf these days. Mind you, if we had more time on a shoot I would like to have a chrome ball and a grey ball and have them in front of the liveaction camera just after the clapper - it would help setting up HDRI's and lights and balance the whole thing faster when lighting your scenes. >> >>Morten >> >> >> >>Den 16. januar 2013 kl. 12:11 skrev Anthony Martin >><[email protected]>: >>These days I use the chrome ball just for light positioning reference. For capturing the actual HDRI I'll use a fish eye lens on a DSLR, nodal ninja attached to a tripod and then shoot between 8-10 images (including direct above and direct below) covering the scene. >>>Then load these into PTGui Pro and let it stitch them into a LongLat HDRI.
