three raindrops
Another experiment in DSLR scanning with the Pentax K-1 and Pixel Shift.
This is a half-frame (18x24mm) crop of a 35mm frame. But I see higher quality versus a full frame scanned on an Epson. For this picture, it really needed such a tight crop as most of the image was distracting and unnecessary. It's great that the 4X resolution boost of this digitization method makes that possible, at least when a fine-grained film is used. There was also an increase in both highlight and shadow detail. In testing, the ideal aperture for detail was f/10, but anything from f/8-f/11 gives extremely good resolution. -1/3 exposure compensation was used so as not to clip shadows or highlights on this contrasty film - it filled 95% of the histogram.
