Dynamic Range Perception : Poll/Survey

WmAx said:

I have taken 4 clips of controlled lighting static scene test
captures, thanks to imaging-resource.com. I would like for a few
people to list in order, with ratings (1) being the 'best' and (4)
being the worst, what they believe looks like preserves both
hilight AND shadow details in teh best visible balance. Each
example is identified as (A), (B), (C) and (D) at the far right of
each image. I suggest using the 'EXPAND WIDTH' java funcitno button
that this site gives you as an option over teh posted images. Feel
free to play with your monitor's contrast and brightness controls
if you can't tell enough difference to give an answer. NOTE: LCD
monitors and some 'old' crt monitors will proably not be useful for
this comparison.

I will identify A, B, C and D in a day or so after I get a few
responses. BTW, NO cheating by going to imaging-resource and trying
to find the exact matches before giving your answer. Then your
answer would be biased, now wouldn't it?

For those who might not for some reason know what I am referring
to, here is a synthetic example at two extremes to make it clear:



Now, on to the poll. These samples had only one modification made
to them from teh orginal file(s): they were all resampled to the
same physical dimensions.



Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Though not to sceintific standards, the images used above employ
the highest level of controls that I know of from the cameras being
compared that are avaialble.

In order to help the usefulness of this poll; please state whether
your monitor is LCD or CRT and if it is calibrated or not.

Left Ones (dark):

Right Ones (light):
A, B, C, D

Don't know if this will be helpful at all, but there you go.

This poll requies taking into account the left and right sections
of each item(a, b, c, d) and identifying which one you feel
displays the most balanced level of highlites and shadows(not
nearing exposure limits while still being able to show detail in
the shadows). It would not be useful to rate teh left and right
sides independantly.
