Many thanks for the laurels, Georg! The B&W images were taken on a heavily overcast day, so the color versions aren't much to look at.Ron, jawdropping pictures in deed! Wish you would also show the color versions ov the b&w you posted, they must be spectacular too.
No problems what so ever. It wasn't too cold, actually - always above freezing, even at night. Battery life was pretty much unaffected. I kept the camera in a dry bag when not in use, and brought it into the cabin where we stayed in the bag, waiting for it to warm up before taking it out of the bag. Standard procedure, really...How did your A7R perform in such a rather hostile environment? Any special precautions you took when coming from the deck back into heated rooms? I imagine the temperature difference to be able to cause problems.
I can't say more at this point, but if you'd like to go there, please send me a PM. There will be an opportunity next year...We are dreaming of that trip since a few weeks, Iceland/Greenland, what an adventure!
Works for me, too. :thumbs: Excellent composition and light. Thanks for sharing. And be safe!'shoreline at Wolfe's Neck' - a7r / Samyang 14
I shot this handheld while awkwardly perched on a steeply slanted boulder...almost went in the drink a couple times. As a result, it's not as sharp and crisp as it could be, but the image works for me regardless.
More excellent shots Georg, my wife loves that horse, shes a pretty mare.Yep, that was on my mind here. It was only the second time I had her, the horse that is :ROTFL: get used to me standing there while she passes by at speed. She is 13 now, and we did not let her go full speed, around 50%-60% at the most, a solid training gallop so to speak.
I would love to do that with the 77MKII and the 70-400G II. With my oldish a900 and 5 frames per second, and by looking at the series of bursts, I would think she makes around 2 - 2,5 gallop strides per second. I very much enjoy this, it is fascinating when she passes by you at such speed, and next time I try the 135 instead, now that I trust her not running me over.
