Vivian Maier photography
An incredible story. Vivian Maier was a nanny who lived in Chicago for most of her life and passed away in 2009 at the age of 83. Little more is known about her, except that she was an avid street photographer. Her work was discovered at an auction in 2007, more than 100,000 negatives and undeveloped rolls of film, sold by a storage facility who were cleaning out her locker for delinquent rent.

Notes:
- Camera type: full frame with exposure bracketing and an 8mm circular fish eye lens.
 - Bracketing: 7 exposures at 2 stops increments.
 - Tripod: supporting 120 degrees locked offsets
 - Camera angle: should point up 7.5 degrees for better sky or upper dome coverage.
 - Camera focus: set and tape locked to manual
 - Start shooting looking towards the sun direction with and without the ND3 filter; The other angles will not require the ND3 filter.
 - Documenting shooting with a slate (measure distance to slate, day, location, camera info, camera temperature, camera position)
 
NOTE: The goal is to clean the initial individual brackets before or at merging time as much as possible.
This means:- keeping original shooting metadata
 - de-fringing
 - removing aberration (through camera lens data or automatically)
 - at 32 bit
 - in ACEScg (or ACES) wherever possible
