>>3972707>You have no clue what "proper dynamic range" is. That's the point I'm driving home when asking for a sample photo. As a practical matter the 5DsR has very good DR.Not the same anon
A forest scene with clear skies in frame requires at least 15 stops of dynamic range to be captured without blowing any of the colors.
Most digital cameras only handle +2 overexposure before a color starts to desaturate or shift in color. The 5DS R already starts to fall apart at +2.
https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Camera-Noise.aspx?Camera=979&Test=5&ISO=0&CameraComp=979&TestComp=0&ISOComp=100So place the sky at +2.
To replicate how landscape painters paints, or how a human perceives a forest scene, you'd then need the vast majority of the scene to be brought close together around middle grey, but still leaving plenty of detail in the deepest shadows so they aren't just lifted greys.
A forest scene enclosed by trees would probably be average metered to be 6 stops below the sky at +2. So we're at 8 stops. You image will now have the entire forest at -6 EV and very underexposed and needs to be brightened.
You could bring the highlights of the sky lets say -100, that should bring down highlights around 4 stops if you're using Lightroom. You can then in turn raise the exposure of the scene by 5 stops ( maximum in Lightroom). Now you forest scene has absolutely no shadow detail, only the average green patch of your scene is gonna be -1 EV still and your blue patch of sky is +3.
Raise the shadows by 100 to lift up roughly an additional one stop. Your average green is now correctly exposed.
Pic related is a 6D image shot at iso 100, F16, 1/30th. The 6D has a slightly better dynamic range than the 5DS R (6D at 10.2, 5DS R at 10.16). I tried recreating the steps above. Source:
