Basket Case
A dilapidated old pickup provides the perfect opportunity to put my new Rokinon 14mm lens to the test as well as try a new approach to HDR merging...

THe Rokinon is a winner, no doubt...sharp and wide, plus f2.8, I hardly even notice the manual focus and manual aperture adjustments...I do that anyway!

Merge to 32-bit HDR provided a tiff file with all of the data from 5 RAW exposures. When adjusted in Camera RAW, a few tweaks of the sliders to open shadows and bring down highlights was all I needed to obtain a great base image for additional post-processing work. This one is waaaaaaay overcooked intentionally, and totally appropriate for the subject...
