Hello guys,
I'm running into some problems with one of the project that's coming up. I'm shooting video of off-road vehicles installed with LED light bars driving in pitch black (outdoor in the wild). You can see a sample screenshot here:
For the shot attached, I actually used a 5D3.. forgot what lens I used but it was probably a Canon 24mm 1.4 L Mark II Initially it actually looked really good in the LCD preview, but once I got back in the studio to see what I had it was WAY OVER EXPOSED. The actual image should have clear details of the ground ahead, very clear details of the peripheral, and you should be able to see even further down the road.. CLEARLY.
If I remember correctly, the settings I had was probably 1.4/60/3200 or 6400.
and what I ultimately want to achieve is to see ALL of the details very clearly and close to what the human eye sees.
So, I want some recommendations on the following:
- Camera: For camera, I've looked online and it seems like the Sony A7 can do some pretty amazing things at night, not sure if this is what I need?
- Lens: Any recommendations?
- Settings: Any recommendations?
- Focus Point: Where should my focus point be? Ground close to the car, far away, or center of the screen?
Any discussion would be great! Thanks!
