Had some fun trying out the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 on the a7R II. Sadly it seems decentered, so it's going back today. Here it is with a little light painting exercise on a covered bridge nearby here in Georgia. A vehicle happened to pass through the bridge while I was taking one of the several exposures and the glow of the taillights seemed so interesting I included some of it in this final composite of several light-painted exposures:
My girlfriend and I were spending the night in the single guesthouse at a tiny village in central Sumatra. When I asked if we could make arrangements for dinner, the owner said, more or less: I'm sorry, there is nothing tonight, but in a few hours we will have a big party in the village for my son's coming of age-- please come, there will be a lot of food.
An incredibly welcoming atmosphere, a ton of incredible home-cooked food, a really intimate gathering-- essentially the whole village. I only took a few shots so as not to interrupt the scene.
Photo taken about 9 minutes after sunset on June 6, 2015, from the overlook near Big Meadows Lodge, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image cropped (because other photographers were set up with me, one with a tripod leg to my right in my image) and taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M WATE lens set to 21mm, ISO 100, lens set to probably f8 for 1/15 second. Processed in LR6.
I decided to take my two images of sunrise posted earlier and stitched them together. Funny thing . . . Lightroom could do it but Photoshop did (both are CC versions).
Here are the last images from the interior of St Peter's Basilica. Needless to say, this is a very imposing church. The museum and the famous sistine chapel will be next. Too bad photography inside that chapel is not allowed , at least flash photography and shutter noise of any kind, that is .
