Took a walk with an old friend

[unlo]

Had to dust off the Nex-5r last night and go for a walk. shot with Rokinon 12mm F2
Felt nice remembering the quirks of the camera that started it all for me
took some shots with some of the built in apps... sheesh. forgot how clunky they were.
here is an image with the hdr painting effect applied in camera

NEX-5R    ----       f/1.0    1/50s    ISO 100

took some bracket exposures for merging in LR for comparison

NEX-5R    ----       f/1.0    1/100s    ISO 100

and another I merged in post

NEX-5R    ----       f/1.0    1/100s    ISO 100

NEX-5R    ----       f/1.0    1/60s    ISO 100

Clunky app or not, I like that first image, Matt.

For me, it's the 2nd shot! Also great output from the Rokinon.

It isn't terrible. But my eye likes the image from LR better. I may be biased for having put the extra work in to get that result however. =D

I never used the NEX-5R but I have an NEX-7 which I converted to full time Infra Red. It's a nice little camera body which will accept all of my E-mount and adapted lenses...

The 12mm f/2.0 Rokinon is one of my favorite non-Sony lenses... It is sharp as a tack and easy to manually focus...

The 12mm pretty much lives on my NEX 5r. Ive got the a6500 and 16mm Sigma of I need AF. I do love how the rokinon renders.

I sold my Nex-7 to help fund my A7ii. Kind of miss it, just a tad.
I like the moodiness of the first image. The darkness looks more 'real' to me, like it was closer to sunset.

Just an idea unlo, but if the picture seems off once posted, make sure that you have used sRGB as the output color space. I know in the past that has bitten me, as browsers are inconsistent rendering any other color space.

Thanks for the tip. The first image was rendered in camera and is a .jpeg. I'm pretty sure I only use sRGB from LR, and so far I'm pretty satisfied with the output.
