Oh, oops, thanks for the tip! I hadn't realized this. I'm not surprised now that you mention it.
Sebboh, I like your interior HDR shot (I am assuming that it is HDR), although I am not a big fan of HDR's, yours seems quite well done!
Jim, that Fd 28mm is a nice lens, I had one years ago that I used with an AE1 - hows that for dating myself! Nice tones in the second image!
Ulrikft2 - did you cyan that image at all? I ask because Sony's seem to err on the magenta side, and there doesn't seem to be any of that in your image?

To me, that's a great example of what makes the NEX 5 and 7's sensors so impressive- the amount of detail you can pull out of the shadows. It doesn't seem to leave much headroom in the highlights, though, certainly not a comparable amount. But if you expose for the highlights, you can make HDR obsolete. I wonder if the same is true for the D800.

On an unrelated note, love that sunset shot, D.
thanks!
the interior shot is actually with the nex-3 not my nex-7. the original nex had plenty of shadow lifting ability as well.

Great images as always, Phillip! Did you capture them in the evening? The last three look a bit dark to me (at least on my screen).
you are right, when i developed them they were bright enough but i was basically sitting in a black room, no lightsources but my monitor.
Yes i captured pictures 2-4 shortly after sunset with a cloudy sky.

Nevertheless, a brilliant series. I like all of them. All.
fantastic shots in the last post phillip, i love all of them.
lately i worry that the nex's shadow latitude is leading to me pulling up the shadows too much, and that i should really let more images have large black portions. here is a shot at sunset shot with the shadows pulled up a ton: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7276/7422395136_d56edfe458_b.jpg
and the same image without the shadow recovery: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8147/7422395484_3ed261535d_b.jpg
any opinions, do folks like it better with as a silhouette or with brightened shadows? would somewhere in the middle work better for these types of photos?
that shot was with the c/y 35/1.4 incidently, probably at f/2.8.
