Long exposures have long been a primary compositional element of Landscape & Cityscape photographers like Paul Reiffer. The methods and application of creating long exposures can be quite challenging due to the additional accessories and technical understandings necessary to see your vision come to light.
Phase One knows these challenges well, having pioneered the ability to capture 1-hour digital exposures as early as 2007.
With the most recent developments of the “Infinity Platform” found in the IQ4 150MP, Phase One has taken this understanding even further and provided the ability to capture long exposure equivalents through Frame Averaging.
Frame Averaging in the IQ4 150MP allows the photographer to:
- Capture Long exposures in daylight without filters
- Stop and save an exposure to accommodate unforeseen interruptions
- Instantly review the RAW file results without further processing
Join Product Manager Drew Altdoerffer & Paul Reiffer as they speak about the science behind Frame Averaging, the application of the tool, and the image quality benefits provided by thinking outside the box when it comes to Digital Photography.
