Captured inside a Cave in Iceland. The scene presented an extreme dynamic range challenge with bright daylight outside and deep shadows inside the cave.
I captured multiple exposures as a precaution, unsure how much I could recover in post. In the end, I didn’t need the over or underexposed files - the correctly exposed image had more than enough latitude.
Thanks to the Sony A7SIII’s modern sensor, I was able to capture this in a single exposure - no bracketing or tripod needed, captured in RAW. The camera retained highlight detail while preserving an impressive amount of shadow information, allowing me to subtly recover tones in post. I purposefully avoided to recover a lot of the shadows to maintain a natural look.
Lens used was the Laowa 15mm F/2.
