Some samples for HD3D and 28mm - Landscape Imaging

[NickT]

I hear you Jeff. I guess like anything it's a question of priorities as to what gets done and when. IMO the Phase long exposure method is a bit of a pain in that you have to create a black reference at the same exposure setting each time..

Filippo,

Just sent PM with 3 images.

Kind regards,

Thanks Nick. I'm looking forward to it still, and not needing the dark frame will be a real winner. My Sony does the same thing. It leaves one plenty of time to contemplate the next shot.

Derek,

thanks a lot for the samples.

I have got some problems using phocus, it crashes everytime I try to open an image. I have to study a little bit about it.

Fillippo,

what computer are you running phocus on ? Mac/PC, Which OS and version, ram, graphics card ?
if you give us some details i'm sure we can help you out.

as it happens i've never seen phocus crash when trying to open an image...
if you're on Mac and running OSX 10.4, it will crash when you try to launch the Phocus application (as phocus require 10.5 to function).

regards, alex.

Phocus crashes on Windows 3.1

Kind regards,

Hi to all,

the computer is a Mac Pro/6GB RAM/2.66 GHz Quad Xeon/Nvidia 120 (512MB)/Mac OS X 10.5.7, Phocus 1.1.3.

Seems that the preview of the Raw is available but as soon as I try some operation inside Phocus, i.e. double click on the image to view it or even export as tiff, Phocus crashes.

Thanks for the help.

Filippo.

My images were created with Phocus PC, perhaps this is the problem?

I wonder if there is a version issue?

Kind regards,
Derek

i suspect there is a bug with Phocus and the nvidia geforce gt 120 card.
anyone else here running this card ?

i suggest you send support@hasselblad.com an email.

Hi to all,

I will try on my windows machine as soon as I can get it available.

I have seen that, even on another similar mac pro, the behaviour is the same.

On my Mac the preview on the finder recognizes the 3F standard, the icon is fine but when I try to have a full screen preview I see only a black page.

Nick, without wishing to sound like a complaining Aussie, I think that Phase backs have been able to do long exposures for years. If I remember rightly, it was a serious consideration for me when I bought my H3D.

Having said that, I'm eternally happy that I bought the H3D. I can't see Phase or whoever giving me better service than I have received from Hasselblad over the years.

Hi Jeff,

I think some of the solutions that the members provide here, is giving Hasselblad, a run for their money!

I guess the word "soon" means different things to different people.   32 seconds and holding on Nov. 19, 2009

hi gdwhalen

firmware version R256 was released some time ago which adds 64sec exposure to most of the hasselblad cameras and backs.

these threads can get rather out of date.
