That's really beautiful. You ought to sell prints of that when it's done; I'd probably buy one.
A frame from phone video. Anyone know why a video camera would capture colors better than a still camera?
There's a couple of possible explanations. Video is taken at lower resolution that stills. Sometimes this is done by cropping into the chip, but other times it's done by effectively combining multiple photo cells to form one "pixel". This effectively means you're capturing the image with larger photo cells. Larger photo cells have a greater dynamic range, and therefore better tone and colour reproduction (the still images look really contrasty and saturated).
Another likely possibility is the compression and post-processing. A lot of phone or compact cameras do automatic post-processing to try and compensate for the poor quality image they produce. While this is all well and good, it produces a less accurate representation of the subject, which can be particularly noticeable if photographing something in very muted colours or similar. These same cameras lack the processing power to apply this post-processing to video, so the video comes out looking more natural.
Interesting to know!
Not a clue but thank you for the close ups!!It's funny the one map I am making is going to be printed on 18 x 24 paper too
I can't wait to see more images as it looks really nice so far!
That latest picture is seriously the most beautiful map segment I've ever seen. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I'm risking to not be able to rep you when it's done if I do it now, but I can't resist!
