Just thought I'd throw up a small selection of pics from me as I haven't for a while. Some of them may have featured before. Not really any sets here, just randoms, and hopefully not too many.

Been getting to grips with the A7R and I have to say as portrait camera it's an absolute DREAM!! It's small, light, portable, insanely sharp and detailed, and the eye AF feature is a god send for AF, but the MF ability using the focus peaking and MF zoom features makes manual focusing an absolute breeze. No more missed focus shots anymore!

I will never need another portrait camera, and using my Nikon glass on this camera with the Novoflex adaptor means I have things like the 85mm f1.4 and 200f2 at my disposal!! WOWSER. But the Sony/Zeis 55mm f1.8 is unreal. As Sony release more lenses for this camera it will become an extremely compelling proposition to ignore. The A7R is the dogs danglies.

The dog's "danglies"?!!! That cracked me up. You guys over there on that island kingdom...

Yeah, I recognize most of these shots, nice to revisit them. I always enjoy your work, Chris. Not sure if it's just me, but with your pictures, it seems like the pictures start with the subject's eyes and then I move out to get a sense of the whole person and environment. I like that. Your pictures just always draw me immediately to the eyes. Which is part of what makes No. 4 so compelling.

Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays.

A really solid set of images! My favorites are 1, 4, and 5...great expressions & moments. I also love the perspectives you got with the photos of the kids...right at their eye level, and melting backgrounds. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!

nice images all the way around.
I really appreciate your black and whites a lot. Nice tonality.
Your color images are lovely as well, but I do see a lot of green in some and the skin tones could be improved. They look a bit muddy on my monitor.

Thanks for the feedback. I have noticed a bit of a green hue to some of my colour portraits also, but these ones appear ok to me on my monitor. I must get my monitor calibrated soon though as my printers seem to produce slightly different prints to what I see on my screen.

Nice work...

As some mentioned, I think you do a good job a picking backgrounds that work. Skin softening seems a bit overdone on just a couple...but hard to know for sure as I wasn't there.

Well done...
