David,The Kissing Trees
Thank you Jerry. Here's one from December, 2009 using the A850 and 24-70/2.8:Tony,
Very well done.
Jerry
Thanks Dave, just to say that those two trees are standing entirely alone, I drove up the road for the first time and it just struck me immediately how powerful an image they make. Someone had a brilliant idea when they planted them there.:salute:David -- love the Kissing trees shot. Interesting how those two trees are just standing out there alone(though I can't see behind you )
HI DaveAnyway, here is what I came here to share today, a couple from Saturday evening:
I agree, she did a wonderful job. It looks like at least two vintage fans on the left, and the fabric looks brand new.Dave,
Excellent Sunset pictures. The color and light draw me into the scene.
Thanks for the comment. My first picture was a display for a Japanese New Year event. A young lady used a Japanese Kimono and fans, she did a very nice job.
Jerry
Yeah, it was kind of last minute notice. Lately the skies have been either clear or mud, so this was an opportunity I had to jump on.Nice sunset shots Dave, great colors and I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you there the other night.
Yes, the pano is 4 shots taken with the A850 and Schneider 28 PC, and the Coit Tower shot was also taken with the same combo (only one shot on that one).
Mark, that older flash will only fire at full power on a digital camera, no TTL. I have a bunch of those controllers kicking around doing nothing, from film days I had one and a spare, another came with an assortment of bellows/ MD lens bits and pieces, and yet another came with the 1x-3x macro lens. Doorstops, really. What you want to use the flash tubes properly on digital is a Minolta MFC-1000 controller. They are rare and pricey, I lucked out and picked up a spare that was poorly listed as part of a kit with an old Dimage 5 on ebay, for $170 or so as I recall. Just keep your eyes peeled.Dave
Excellent samples. I have this old old Minolta ring flash (still with non dedicated hot shoe) and a newer Canon MT-24EX. I have not been very lucky with two flash guns...
I have more luck with Minolta 200/2.8 HS
Well, it took another brilliant idea to get that shot. Very nice! :thumbup:Thanks Dave, just to say that those two trees are standing entirely alone, I drove up the road for the first time and it just struck me immediately how powerful an image they make.

Dave - those sunsets are amazing! :thumbup:
No, I can't count very well... usually I do just fine up to 21(unless it's real cold) but get lost after that.HI Dave
It appears that you can't count (I never thought of a couple as three).
However, you can take pictures - these are great!
Thanks Dave.That lens seems to be working great for you, though it seems to have met its match with Coit Tower. Did you use the lens unshifted for the pano or did you have something up your sleeve that I'm missing?
Welcome to the clubLove all the photos. So I signed up. Sony A850 with Minolta 135/2.8 and HVL-F58 AM Flash.
