This aperture series from f/2 - f/13 is a dual purpose presentation designed to show off the high dynamic range of the Sony A7S II (uncompressed raw) as well as the outstanding brilliance of the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Distagon.

Major contrast control was used to open up deeply shadowed areas even as brilliant white clouds presented an exposure challenge. A perfect ETTR exposure was made which exploited the full 14-bit dynamic range of the A7S II.
