Sony A7 + FE 24-70. ISO 400. Overcast sky, with rain and wind.

Both cropped, 2nd picture about 20% of original frame.

Over there
A7R FE 55mm f1.8 at f8

I don't normally quote with the photograph (as it wastes space) but I really like this landscape. I like the way your eye travels from the top to the bottom and there are layers, each with its own interest - which is a strength of the framing and composition. You have captured what the subjects on their bench are seeing.

I also like that it is an exemplar of the 55/1.8. I must try and make more use of it as a landscape lens, myself.

Many thanks Louis for your comment, very most appreciated.
I really love the FE 55mm lens it is glued 90% of the time on the A7R...I used to hate all standard lenses (as I thought they were just boring).
My 50mm Summilux-M ASPH was never hardly used in comparison to the FE 55mm...I find that really weird and can't explain it, especially as I prefer manual focus lenses over AF.
I was very fortunate that the lady put her arm out at the time as it does aid the composition as you say...Thanks again...Cheers Barry

I am quite certain that Michiel’s red ships had a big influence on what I was shooting yesterday.
So you can blame him if you don’t like my red images...:D:D:D
All shot in a very, very, very dark tractor shed that I found at St Winnow, Cornwall.
All taken with the A7R and 55mm F1.8 FE at f1.8 and at 1/60th.
Thank goodness the A7R handles low light scenes well as I was quite happy to shoot above 3200 ISO for some of these.


SEEING RED.

Re: Fun With Sony _____

NEX5NIR on a RhinoCam with 80mm f/2.8 Hasselblad Planar. Eight shot (4x2) Stitch using AutoPano Pro. 113 MP image after cropping. Small image below links to 25% file. Detail is a 100% crop from original (note fly on rock). Tried using the A7r on the RhinoCam and although it will mount in horizontal mode OK, you can only do a 3 shot pano stitch.
Correction. I was able to use the A7r on the Rhinocam in landscape mode to shoot a 4x2 pano. Portrait orientation is not possible because the grip is too thick for rotation.

"Love the tractor and the ships, guys! :)"...Many thanks Godfrey, most appreciated.

"Almost Red" Excellent again Werner, more than good enough for the train category:)

Now if we can just find a red plane and Quentin buys a red Ferrari...We will have planes, trains and automobiles covered (in RED that is).

My last two red tractors (for now)... A7R + FE 55mm f1.8 at 1/60th.
