Jack...always good to see you post! SEM 21 above?
Thank you Gregg!
Winter months in NWest are really gray, flat, boring and totally lifeless.
Hopefully spring will bring welcome changes.
On a positive note, I am heading again to South East Asia for couple weeks (including filming location of Avatar movie)
In the mean time I frequently enjoy every page of inspiring FM posts.
Yes, SEM21, which I decided to keep for its optical superlatives.
I am finding the lens correction app useful for keeping track of which lens I am using, but why on earth did they assign the focus magnification to button C4 when C2 is not assigned to anything. I find it the most difficult button to press when holding the camera with a normal grip, and because it is within the app, it does not appear to be possible to assign it to another button. Anyone else found this, and is there a workaround? Maybe I am missing something. Surely it must have been obvious to Sony engineers that people would use this app with manual lenses, and that the focus magnification would be the one button people would want to use regularly.
It would all be good to be able to press one button to go to "Application top" to make it slightly easier to change lenses.
Photo taken at 7:14 PM on June 6, 2015 of a Doe White Tail Deer, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image cropped from a horizontal to a vertical and taken with my tripod mounted Leica R 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens with my Leica R 1.4X Apo Extender and my A7r; ISO 400, lens set to effective aperture of f8 at 1/250 second. Exposure corrected by +0.48 Stops and processed in LR6.
So far some great forest images on this page, both the infra-red set and the colour ones. And nice processing on that (Roman?) arena Werner.
Summer is over now, and I've been doing some location scouting for new portrait locations. The sun had already set, and I didn't have a tripod, but I still just had to a take a photo of this moonrise from Megalong Valley in New South Wales.
The processing might be a bit heavy handed, and a tripod would have been awesome, but I am still pretty happy with how the a7rii performs in low light like this.
