Article No.1 – Colour Space Conversion

RE: REC 601 RED PATCH BARS to CMYK Preliminary results: What happens when your turn an engineering test signal into a painting? This I guess..

Cinemascope Imperial War Museum

Here’s a few photos taken with an Optex 1.33:1 anamorphic adapter attached to the 20mm f1.7 stuck on the front of a Panasonic GH1. It sort of works in so much as you get a 2.37:1 ratio image. There’s quite a lot od distortion at the edges though.
