First 5D Night Shot (HDR)


This is probably not too impressive right now. But to share my enthusiasm I'm thinking about pointing out the differences between HDR images taken with a crop and a full-frame sensor camera. The interesting point would be a comparison of the raw output from an HDR-software after tone-mapping...

About this picture: I took it in Williamsburg, Virginia. The sky was very dark blue and the moon almost full. Other than that, it was very warm and smelled like spring - a beautiful night for picture taking!

So here it is: the very first '5D Mark II' picture I'm posting. Let me welcome you to the full-frame/fisheye age on fluck.de with a slam dunk by Kareem Maddox of the Princeton Tigers.

About the lens: It's the Sigma 15mm 2.8 fisheye. It's a little less expensive than the Canon counterpart, but at the same time it's built nicer and produces a little bit better images - at least that's what I read.

I also read a lot about the 5D of course, so there were no surprises on that part either. This is an ISO 6400 picture. I'm all set, that all I need for now.
