People sometimes see what they want to see when comparing or
analyzing photos. I'd thought it might be fun to try something
different. I made several crops of the IR comparison photos. The
crops are arranged in a 2 x 2 grid. However, the name of the camera
has been replaced with a letter (A, B, C, D). The letters were
randomly assigned to each camera, and the assignment changed with
each comparison. For example, the D60 crop might be "A" in the
first comparison, "D" in the second and "C" in the third. (Or it
might not!)
Because of the difference in sensor sizes, I first cropped each
original so that the field of view was almost identical. I then
scaled each photo up or down using Photoshop's bicubic
interpolation to either 2400 x 3000 or 1500 x 2100 (8 x 10 and 5 x
7 photos at 300 ppi). Therefore, each photo was resized and no
camera was at an advantage.
My challenge to everyone is to try and identify which crop belongs
to which camera in each comparison. I would also be interested in
knowing which crop you think looks better and why?
Comparison #1: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #2: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #3: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #4: Originals cropped and resized to 1500 x 2100.
Comparison #5: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #6: Originals cropped and resized to 1500 x 2100.
Comparison #7: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #8: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Comparison #6: Originals cropped and resized to 2400 x 3000.
Good luck!
