I wanted to test for skin tones in a low-light environment, slightly underexposed. Not a scientific test by any means, but since I shoot a lot in a docu-style with available light, it was important for me to see how skin tones behave in a challenging daylight environment.
Key is the overcast sky/sun or lack of - through a slit between the curtains in the studio. Apologies for the colour chart being out of focus, I shot mostly at fast apertures.
The colour rendition wasn't the focus here, but rather noise levels on skin tones - pay attention to the darker part of his face. For me Q0 showed the best results, being the highest bit rate, but was a bit more noise than I expected. 5:1 and 3:1 are excellent, and 12:1 is still definitely usable despite less detail and some noise, which can easily be cleaned up.
Many thanks to my DP Rumen Vasilev for being the model for these tests, and to Visual Impact/VI Rental in Teddington for letting us film in their studio and use some of their lenses for these tests.
