Re: Fun with the Sony A7 and A7r series
This one shot truly speaks to the dynamic range available with this A7R.
I had been shooting in the sun when I spotted this lil guy. I grabbed the
shot but when I got home the image was REALLY dark. It took a bunch of
processing but I'm quite happy with the result!!
The ducks were a hoot! All I had was the 28-50 so I just squatted down & shot
some scenery. The ducks were too far away. I'm messing with settings & going into
the menu and I notice the ducks heading my way. I shove it down to wide, hold the
camera close to the ground & blindly shoot. The great thing was this one duck kept
flapping her/his wings..... just like he was proud of them!!

Dear GetDPI Friends - I survived the 1,600 mile fall trip to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The mandatory fall color samples are below. All with A7 + Zeiss.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 and A7r series
bcf, I have had it for a while but never used it much on my NEX 7 or OMD. The shot
with the child and the other with the ducks were from the first hour of use on the A7R.
I have to admit that I will be using it some more from what I have seen. Stay tuned..... ;-)
I just went into Photoshop & did a quick process..... This is another duck shot which is
easily only half of the frame.
I darkened the sky, used some detail and slight levels.
This is the 100% crop, unretouched but reduced in size by Flickr. Considering that
I was squatting on my old knees, holding the camera down by my ankles, at 65 I
am not that steady anyway & the ducks were constantly moving with me adjusting
the manual focus. I think that the lens / camera did pretty good.... ;-)

Today we met this wonderful family from Punjab, India in front of the Niagara Falls.

Yep! How are the sides and corners? Do you know which aperture you used?

Nice textures in that bollard picture Bill
I spent last weekend in London with a couple of friends. Coming from the mainland our first port of call was St Pancras (but we didn't have any goodies at the champagne bar)
Both A900 + Minolta 16/2.8 fish

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 and A7r series
Another Barbara Hepworth sculpture...This one is known as “The Bride” (1970). She is made out of plaster (part of the “Family of Man” series).
She is sitting without the rest of her family in a rather run down conservatory, presumably as protection from the typical Cornish elements.
I included the chair within the picture as representative of a diminutive “Groom” otherwise she was looking rather sad and lonely like Miss Havisham from Great Expectations.
(No flash allowed - Taken hand held at 2000 iso under dim lighting conditions).
