Just beginning to get the hang of using the Light L16. I think this is exposure 63 I've made with it.


Light L16
ISO 750 @ f/15 @ 1/30 @ ~125mm
output: 12 Mpixel DNG original, processed in Lumen app on macOS
DNG processed in Lightroom 6.x

Note: very little post processing applied on this one, just basic tweaks and sizing.

First review impression: It's a very small, very handy thing to carry around. The fact that, in its slip case, it's only about an inch thick and just a smidge bigger in length by width than an iPhone 7 Plus makes it easy to slip into a very small bag or jacket pocket. The handling and control ergonomics are remarkably good, better than expected (particularly for an LCD only viewfinder type camera). It does its best performance at lower ISO settings (200 to 750), and fitted on a tripod if you want the ultimate 50Mpixel resolution quality. The latest firmware update has made a HUGE stride in shot to shot responsiveness, and added in-camera tone mapping for JPEG output (not used in this exposure) ... the flash works properly now too. Coming soon is "one shot HDR in-camera or in-Lumen processing. Workflow is still a bit complex, but then the Lumen app is still in beta and provides a huge range of processing options before you even get a DNG out of it. Lumen can also directly output JPEG finals but so far I'm liking the results from processing DNGs a bit more.

It's proving to be a fun and useful tool. Could become a delightful travel camera for some uses with a bit more polish. They'll get there, I expect, based on what I've seen so far. :)

enjoy!

The Light camera photo does render a strange all "in focus" perspective without a vanishing point.
Interesting camera and image concept.
Thanks Paul

It's such an improvement now that I don't have to carry around my big and clunky DSLR anymore ;)

A friend of mine found a rubber stamp that says: "If". She thought it was odd that someone would make a stamp that said "If", so she sent it to me and I had an idea of creating a set of portraits with the models having "If" stamped on their foreheads in poses that would either rhyme with "If" or use "If" as a common phrase.

These three are the latest in a series.

On rare occasions, I meet extraordinary people. This week has been filled with that.

I tried to think of something meaningful to say about this, but gave up. I guess it's called progress :loco:
