Fun With Sony Cameras

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

Hi Barry

Beautiful coloration of the rock isn't something you see everyday and the small/smooth pebbles at the base would be worth taking a few close-ups as well. Thanks for posting.

Paul
Great shots, as usual, Barry. I did chuckle to myself at the gabion wall shot. I recall you saying on here that you are/were in civil engineering, and having been in the same line myself (now retired, and glad to be out of it!), I sometimes suffer from the same 'affliction'.

I once showed a broadly similar shot to my resident art critic (i.e. the other half), attempting to present it as 'Art'. I'll go no further than to say that she had a somewhat different view, and I was left to lick some painful 'artistic wounds'...! ;) :D
Thank you both Paul and tbhv55 for your very kind comments :)
I do have a slight confession that the rock although a deep red colour in reality has been exaggerated with a little tone mapping.
My artistic wife also gave me her artistic impression and said bluntly! ”What on earth have you done to that lovely image, you have now turned it into a raw piece of meat, it now resembles a giant steak!!!”
Feeling pretty deflated because I went ahead and uploaded that image first before getting her “expert” opinion (as I’m colour blind and she is not) I was just about to remove it altogether just as camping kindly gave it a like...So I decided to run with it and see...It seems to be quite well received here so I’m guessing there are quite a few carnivores still out there...BTW my wife is a vegetarian and I am not.

PS. tbhv55....Likewise glad to be out of the CE game ;)

Thanks Barry. The image looked "enhanced" to me as compared to "natural". :grin:

Barry (A.K.A Mr. Prolific) -

For my taste I would have preferred something in between the two.
Medium rare. :)

I think that I will side with your wife on this one : I prefer the more natural version .. But then I'm not very carnivore either, so what do I know..

I like your composition and the smoothly polished curves of the rock. Now that the red paint is gone, I would like to strike my hand to follow the curves of the polished rock.

Michiel, Enjoying the urban views and buildings series. A bit off topic but can I ask what adapter you use with the 24-85 lens? I know it is autofocus but wondered if you can use it manually as I have long been admiring the results you get with it.

As it happens, I have been vegetarian for 25+ years - however, I didn't react to your image in the same way as your wife did. The "giant steak" idea just didn't cross my mind! :)

Yes, although I thoroughly enjoyed civils for most of my career, by the later years, it had changed to the point where I really just wanted to get out.:( Photography (hobbyist only - not professional :)) became far more appealing.

Found in Vissigen that suburb near Sion.

There is an old farm there beneath the high buildings and it has become an active cultural place. There are artists in residences, exhibitions in the barn, a restaurant with a nice garden for the summer and where small events take place (music, philosophic speeches etc). There are a few sculptures around the barn which could also serve as playing ground for the youth.

A7r2 and 90mm TSE
