Fun With Sony Cameras

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

Oh yeah, we get one or two of those "Wrath of God" type storms every year that blow in from the Pacific. I've also been stuck on I 80 during in white-out conditions.

Earthquakes, mud slides, wild fires... all part of West Coast living. Elsewhere they have hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons. No matter where you go, mother nature rules all.

And it's only going to get worse...

I've been a member here for over 4 years and liking people's pictures but as you can see, I still haven't been able to figure out how to post a larger picture....... would anyone care to enlighten a not very computer savvy person please. I'm using a Mac and export my pics to a file on my desktop to drag/drop into Flickr usually :0

Michiel: Wonderful subject and capture!

Indeed. The combination of light, composition, and processing makes for strongly compelling mood. On a more mundane level, the DoF is impressive. Michiel, was that at f/16?

On Flickr just click on the turned right arrow on the bottom right of the screen. Pick the size you want from the drop down menu, make sure that BBC Code is highlighted, copy the contents of the box under the size and post here.

It sounds much harder than it is.

Michiel,

Do you use the Contax N lenses with a manual adapter? I never minded shooting landscapes that way with the C/Y 21/2.8 Distagon. Or with tech cameras, for that matter. There are some electronic adapters out there, and even one supporting AF, but I'm not sure that they're necessary.

Thanks,

Matt

You need an adapter for sure.
I use the Kipon manual adapter with electronic contacts for in camera diafragm stearing and lensdata.
There is also the Fringer AF adapter for sale on Alibaba.

Maher, what was the iso / asa on the circus shot? And which 70-200/2.8 were you using, the first generation or the new one?

Two of them are at 6400 and the 3rd at 3200. All at 2.8.

JM, thank you. Thought I saw that you used the 70-200/2.8G. No reading = not thinking straight.

Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)

Taken this evening inside Castle an Dinas, this is a Cornish Iron Age hill fort - Circa. 200 to 300 BC.
Within the fort are the remains of two much older Bronze Age round burial/barrow mounds (Graves of local chieftains) - Circa 2000-1500 BC...You can just see them either side of the tree on the far left.
The Castle consists of three ditches in concentric rings (which would have been the moats) + A rampart for the castle within as seen along the right flank.
The irony of today is that the moats are now bone dry and the castle within is becoming a small lake.
In Arthurian legend it is believed to be the hunting seat (Hunting Lodge) of King Arthur.

Lovely atmosphere, Barry! (Tho' I think you mean moats - motes are bad news for photographers!)

Thank you Bill for pointing it out to me, my silly mistake I will edit it to moats
