HDRI light probe environment light test in Nuke

LDR still at eV 0

I shot an oversized christmas bauble from each side of my room using Magic Lantern on my 550d to bracket the exposures at -5, -2.5, 0, +2.5 and +5eV. The large exposure steps did introduce some banding when converted to HDRI.  Also, taking the stills with no tripod and not measuring distances resulted in shallow focus and the need to adjust the input rotation in the spherical transform when matching one lightprobe angle to the other in Nuke.  I also realise now that if I took the second set of exposures at a 90° angle form the first rather than 180° then I could have removed myself from the final image.

Hangrip solo shooter rig

Made this solo shooter rig using most of the parts from my Hangrip V8 kit and an extra baseplate and rail. Had to use the extra base plate to allow the lens to clear the follow focus mount. Haven't tested it in the field yet, my main concern at this point is that the weight of the shoot 35 cinefocus might cause it to shift. Might have to invest in some 15mm rails too....
