Fun With Sony Cameras

re: Fun With Sony _____

A few shots that I just came across, again. Taken this past St. Patrick's Day in Coral Gables, FL. Gear was the a900 and the 135/1.8, which is easily one of the best lenses I have ever used. It is this one lens more than any other lens that makes me think I should keep the a900.

Most of the colors are straight out of the box. I fiddled with a few things, but my PS skills are non existent so I didn't damage the photos too much. I cropped the shot of the guitar player drinking a beer.

No flash.

Andrew love your pics with the leica watte, have you compared it to the sony 16mm pancake?

Woodmancy, lovely sharp black and whites for an especially sharp lens ;)

A clean sensor and a macro? I agree, but I now need a macro. The first eggplants of the season are coming in and the Minolta 85/1.4 doesn't do it justice.
Mikal, a set of extension tubes does wonders, I've taken many good macro's with the 85/1.4 that way. Closed down at 4 or 5.6 it's bitingly sharp even at short range.

Thanks for the comments, I forgot to mention that the last one is actually an 8 image pano.

The under-the-pier shot is awesome. Maybe if you'd waited about 20 more minutes. . .;-)
I agree 20min would have extended the shadow perfectly, but as my wife reminded me this was not a photography expedition... In her defence, She has demonstrated superb patience in the past on loads of trips, so I was just taking it easy with a little NEX kit. Might be a holiday, but I still needed to shoot for the fun of it :D

Well, the solar eclipse came and went... I tried without much success:


Although, the eclipsed sun casted a funny shadow:


Then I peeked over the fence and saw the neighbor's flower were watching the eclipse as well :)


Sony NEX-5n with 35mm Summicron.

Nice taken using the Sony inbuilt Panorama feature?
No, I stitched it using hugin. The inbuilt stitcher seems to really struggle with skies. Also it only outputs a jpeg file.

I just set up my tripod and did it the old fashioned way.

Cindy, thank you for the kind comments.
