This isn't the usual shot I take. This is a 5 frame panorama taken on RX100 IV. As this was an unexpected sunrise (I only had the camera with me but did not intend to shoot!), I had not tripod, no clamp, no filters, so I had to handhold it at ISO200, f3.2 (equivalent to f8-9 due to 2.7x crop factor) and 1/640s.
So I got curious, since I don't have a GND filter and no clamp so it would be hard to bracket the shots, I thought why not try shooting underexposed and see how much shadow I can lift. I guess I can still lift enough shadows.
Would I consider doing serious landscape or cityscape work on this? Probably not. But if you see a sunrise too good to pass up yet you don't have your camera with you, this might be it. If I really want to shoot, I'll still bring the Sony A7R out with the proper stuff with me.
