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

Milky Way shot in Kruger NP back in September

Thought I might try the new C1 Pro v9 processing and I'm pretty impressed with the update.

A7R II, 16-35/4 15s @ f4 ISO 4000

This shot was handheld at 5000 ISO. I will take it again soon with my PentaxZ on a tripod. I sort of like it the way it is. ( A7r I Contax N 24-85)

I feel your pain, Barry. We're soggy on this side, too!

Old fireplace at Trerice Manor House dating back to circa 1570 (During the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 of England).

From my window.

During this whole year, several events took place in order to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the adhesion of Valais to the Swiss Confederation. Among the festivities was a special event organized by the mountain guides : the illumination of 13 summits with Bengal fires, all at the same time, but only for 3 minutes. It was a little frustrating : you had to choose one mountain among 13 without the possibility to photograph the others.

I decided to photograph the event from my window, because one of the lighted mountain appears just behind the castle of Tourbillon. Luckily, the illumination of the left castle was down since a few days : that should have allowed the illuminated mountain to stand out better. Alas, the weather wasn't very collaborative : the air wasn't clear, but slightly misty. Add the bird distance (43km) and the result was extremely dim and deceiving, just as the picture.

Yes, the idea was cool. But many people were deceived because seen with naked eyes the lighting was quite dim and 3 minutes that is very short. In the lateral valleys the mountains being nearer, the pro photographers got better results with longer exposures than what people saw in reality.

I had planned to use two cameras : the A7r for a wider view and the E-M5II and 40-150mm for a much closer view. But for some reason I couldn't fire the E-M5II from the tablet.

You can follow that link to see more pictures of the event and different summits with better lighting (this is a Google search link, so the results may depends upon where you are located, I hope you will see the images nevertheless) : https://www.google.ch/search?q=Valais+illumination+des+sommets+bicentenaire+photos&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1osKCnL7JAhVByRoKHbtzDCAQ7AkIOA&biw=1920&bih=1199
