Thanks, Rick. I believe you but I will do a test in the coming days just for sh*ts and giggles. Thanks for taking the time to respond. You’re work looks great BTW.

I would think though that a focused beam would start to mess with the inverse square law. Imagine a spot light in the sky, the shaft of light seems to maintain itself longer than one would think if it were subject to the inverse square law. Or a laser which is highly focused light.
If so, all I did was track the car and I used that to create a moving matte for a blurred version of the license plate. The matte was basically a highly feather ellipse–there is so much going on and so much feathering that you can’t really tell the flares are getting softened in those areas.
I don’t think I’m starving the sensor of light if I’m lighting things correctly.
My example is that the base ISO is 800. I decide to shoot at ISO 100. I pump enough light into the scene to get a proper exposure. I don’t think I’m starving the sensor of light. My question is why would this produce less noise. It’s not amplifying the signal at 800 or 100. What is the driver in this situation.
