Re: Fun with the A7/7R

Weather too lousy to go out today so tried something indoors for a change.

a7r with Summicron 75 mm ASPH at its closest focus. & shots with Helicon Focus.

Re: Fun with the A7/7R

The weather's lousy here, too!

I took the opportunity to plagiarise Michiel: I've often wondered how to digitally frame images, and never quite got round to applying the leetle (*very* leetle in my case!) grey cells. It seems that Mogrify is my friend...

This is with the CV 4/21, which doesn't work with the A7r.




Now - if I can figure out how to do that nice 3d shadow effect......

pace Michiel!

I was just wondering about that lens. What's wrong with it, corner colour cast again on that naughty A7r?

It is just a simple dropshadow in Photoshop; copy the layer - select the first layer and make it a little bigger in canvas size - select the second layer and go to layers, layerstyle, dropshadow and make your desired shadow.
Once you got it you can make an action of it and it will be a whistle of a cent.

Pretty darn nice for a lens which doesn't work ... !

You can do drop shadows with the Lightroom Print or Slide Show modules. Dial 'em in, output as JPEG. Easy, fast ...

Greetings from the Super Bowl, my friends. I have been busy, mainly shooting the A7 with native and M glass...and coming away quite satisfied:

Ash: Awesome! Just like being there. Terrific shots. I especially like this one of Sherman laughing. In that media circus, probably no one noticed that the little thing in your hands was an actual camera. :ROTFL:

Thanks for the vicarious thrills!

Cheers, Matt

Corner colour cast and smearing with both the 4/21 and the 4.5/15. I bought into the 'Lens Correction' app from Sony, and a very 'quick and dirty' correction has dramatically improved images from both lenses. There is some corner smearing and vignetting with the Biogon 2/35 and even with the Nokton 1.5/50 wide open, but I haven't tried the 'lens correction' app with these: in real-world use most images from these seem pretty good, though they wouldn't always please the pixel-peepers.

It is just a simple dropshadow in Photoshop; copy the layer - select the first layer and make it a little bigger in canvas size - select the second layer and go to layers, layerstyle, dropshadow and make your desired shadow.

Thanks, Michiel. I don't have PS, but Godfrey has pointed me to a LR solution. I'll try it next time it rains....

HI There - I lent my A7 to a friend for a week, just got it back, absence makes the heart grow fonder! Here are a couple from last night with the kit lens:

Ashwin, sweet stuff. A great photographer with unparalleled access to his subjects is a combination that cannot be beat.

Ashwin...fabulous shots and as usual! I'm saying this with a mix of admiration and envy :).

The shots of Sherman are especially good from a reportage point of view and I think there is something to be said for using a small unobtrusive camera like the A7 in such an environment. Most definitely looking forward to future postings of your Superbowl week experiences!
