The Silver Lining (or, my attempt at capturing the night's full moon after 3 glasses of wine!)

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

The light was incredible this night. I couldn't resist taking another shot of the city. Well I resisted about two hours.. But being still awake, I finally gave in, although a little too late : this is why the lighting of the castles was already spent. If the moon light looks that good tomorow, I will try to snap another one with the castle fully lighted.

In between I hope you all had a great Christmas feast with your loved ones.

A7RII Zeiss C/Y f3.4 35-70 @ 70mm & f9 (7 files)

Perils of uncompressed files: I planned to stitch these files, but forgot to switch from uncompressed to compressed – or alternately I forgot to use DNG converter to make lossless compressed files. So the original stitch was 2.55 GB, and 3.5 with some corrections. The file would print at about 20x40" @ 360 ppi. Very tiring for my home iMac with only 4GB memory – I did a few chores while it was processing. Don't do that again, Kirk! :banghead:

PS to Lucille: Vintage mink?

Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Pretty sure this bird is the inspiration for the word "hyperkinetic".

I see that everything is going by two today : two pillars, two birds, two red/orange and similar boats and two towers in the back ! Great catch, great composition which leaves me smiling. What did you offer to the birds (seagulls ?) to get them so well positioned ?

Annna, this is just lovely. I love the way the eyes are directed into the scene by the man-made arteries, and then begin to focus on the stunning natural beauty of the place. Believe it or not, I think it works quite well without the floodlit castles, as this gives the snowcapped mountains greater prominence. Nicely done, and thanks for sharing!

Thank you Annna, those gulls were just waiting for the fishing boats at Polruan to go out! + A bit of patience waiting for them to walk along the top of the beam...Hope you had a great Xmas day...Love those night time shots from your home, it's the colours and the lights that make it!...+ The mountains and the slight star trails....Excellent it all works extremely well...Cheers Barry

I took the boat over from Polruan to Fowey to get closer to this old fishing boat in the estuary, the water was a bit choppy but I did manage to get one sharp shot :) – Sony 90mm Macro (Tone Mapped)

A7RII Contax G 45mm Planar. A quiet moment of reflection.
A striking portrait, Christina. Usually that much blank white would upset me, but here it makes such a nicely balanced composition. And the subject turned 3/4 away really does give a feeling of reflection/contemplation, looking into the unknown. Muted color adds to the effect. Nice to see an unconventional portrait.

Rich shadow detail, too!

Kirk

(PS, 45mm is such a nice focal length. It looks like Zeiss is making Batis lenses in focal lengths that don't duplicate Sony Zeiss, so maybe they'll make a 45.)
