Helpful Posts: I just received my new/used 14mm Rokinon AF-f/2.8 lens. This is my side yard and my first try with the lens... I have a lot to learn about UWA shooting but, it should be fun learning.
This is not the best time of day for shooting - I will do some more when the light is better. I shot this at f/11 and processed in in Photoshop with NIK software...

Re: First Try With UWA lens
Looks good. How much of the image quality is due to post-processing versus the lens itself?

Re: First Try With UWA lens
You can't go around asking questions like that Ted. It upsets people like me who like to buy expensive new or classic lenses

Re: First Try With UWA lens
Sure - a bit of PP helps any image but, we need the camera/lens to give us a good starting point. I believe in testing the quality of a lens with the PP that I would add to any image...
This is the walkway down to the pool in my back yard...

This is the view from our bedroom - it is so quiet you can actually hear the acorns drop from from the oak trees!Last edited by rpcrowe; 21st August 2020 at 06:39 PM.

WOW - 14mm is WIDE!
I placed my camera on the table pointing at my Chromebook and this is what I saw...
It is an amazingly wide angle for a non-fish eye, rectilinear lens...

Re: First Try With UWA lens
First of all congratulations on the lovely design and upkeep of your garden, Richard.
Second, the distortion of the wide angle is not very noticable, apart from the pool area, so I you deserve credit for that as well. While post processing may have mitigated it the effect, the careful camerawork must have made a big difference.
