How many stops between 1/6sec to 1/4 sec????????????

Scotty claims:
The difference between 1/25 sec and 1/4 sec is 2-2/3 stops, 6.25x as many photons falling on the sensor. That's the reason for the slight reduction in noise.
Again, Selmslie tries to obfuscate with bad math...no wonder he has problems with photographic calculations:
1/25sec ...1 stop > 1/12 sec...one stop > 1/6 sec ...one stop > 1/3 sec ... 1/3 stop >1/4 sec.
That is, in fact, 3 and 1/3 stops
He'll have to think on it a bit more; but, with effort, it should come to him!
I can't believe no one else has corrected him !

Correct progression: 1/25>1/12>1/6>1/4>1/3
I think 2 2/3 was correct.

"Well, selmslie claims the left image was actually @ 1/25 sec...that makes a 3 1/3 stop difference, (>1/12>1/6>1/3>1/4) which makes the difference in noise and shadow detail (due to increased tonal spectrum...) all the more interesting. "
The progression is by doubling the shutters open duration: 1/25 to 1/12 to 1/6 to 1/3 equals three stops.
Adding 1/4 sec is an additional 2/3 stop. I was off by 1/3 stop.
Is that what you were referring to , Martin?

But isn't 1/4 sec faster than 1/3 sec, so that would be 1/3 stop subtracted from, not added to, 3 stops, giving 2-2/3 stops (as Selmslie stated)???
Hi, John
The way I see it:
The progression is by doubling the shutters open duration: 1/25 to 1/12 to 1/6 to 1/3 equals three stops.
Adding 1/4 sec is an additional 2/3 stop. I was off by 1/3 stop.
1/12 is twice the duration of 1/25 sec
1/6 is twice the duration of 1/12sec
1/3 is twice the duration of 1/6sec
1/4 (shorter than 1/3 sec.) is ~ 1/3 the progression to the next stop ( but is twice the duration of 1/8 which is immaterial here)
now...how badly have I embarassed myself?
Dave
Take a deep breath and say I may be wrong. Check your math, it's ok to be wrong once in awhile......
You should only stop down to !/4 sec.
You go all the way down to 1/3 sec. which adds the extra stop.......

Not badly, it took me some time, too.
1/25 to 1/12=1 stop
1/12 to 1/6=1 stop
1/6 to 1/3 WOULD be 1 stop, but
1/6 to 1/4 is only 2/3 stop
1+1+2/3=2 2/3

And this took me some time, also!
A series of stops is just that: a "gapless" series...not a list with random gaps.
look at apertures: from f/1.4 to f/8 is 5 stops ( whether we go step-wise or simply jump from f/1.4 to f/8
1.4 2 2.8 4 5.6 8 is a gap of 5 stops
1/25 sec to 1/4 sec is 3 and ~1/3 stop
1/25th sec to 1/12 sec. to 1/6 sec to 1/3 sec to 1/4 sec is a gap of 3 and 1/3 stops
and 1/6 sec to 1/4 sec is 1 and ~ 1/3 stop (we don't get to leave out that pesky full stop between 1/6 sec and 1/3 sec) before moving on 1/4 sec.
(We are dealing with the total stops of exposure between the extremes of shutter durations)
Howzat?
The number of stops between ant two particular stops remains the same whether we get there step-wise of in a single jump.

Herein lies the error:
1/25th sec to 1/12 sec. to 1/6 sec to 1/3 sec to 1/4 sec is a gap of 3 and 1/3 stops
IS INCORRECTThe correct sequence is:
1/25th sec to 1/12, then 1/12 sec to 1/6 sec, then 1/6 sec
TO 1/4 SEC, then 1/4 sec to 1/3 sec
-------one stop---------------one stop---------------------2/3 stop------------------irrelevant--------
2 and 2/3 stop total

Another way to look at it: shutter speeds in 1/3 stop intervals (estimate) starting at 1/25 sec-
1/25-full stop
1/21
1/17
1/12- full stop
1/10
1/8
1/6- full stop
1/5
1/4
1/3-full stop
1/25 to 1/4 is 2 and 2/3 stops

Steve, Martin, Selmslie...
very lucid and spot on.
You're right!
i was wrong!
I really should have had that second cipher of coffee!

It takes a big man...
Now if only that could put the debate to rest, but I know better. In regard to the whole ETTR/EBTR/ERADR matter, you both realize neither of you stands a snowball's chance in hell of convincing the other, no matter who attracts the most disciples, right?
This seems to me a good point at which to respectfully bow out.
