I don't usually put work on here, but I like how these came out. I used to shoot with Nikon DSLRs and couldn't imagine ever going back. Sony makes life significantly easier.
Great images, bet the client is over the moon with these

Excellent job Chuck. I'm sure they'll be thrilled with those !
Kevin,
Thank you. I took over 700 pictures of the couple during an afternoon and evening in Brooklyn and then the next morning at Central Park and Grand Central Station. They have lots to select from. I was honored to be asked if I would take these as they originally were considering hiring out for them. But I will not be taking any at the wedding! I will leave that to the professionals!
Chuck
René, I always admire your wonderful images. But the image of the metzgerei in the Altstadt is for sure interesting. I am referring to the signs they displayed out there, such as Ochsenmaul, China Topf, Beef Bison, etc. Great job!
+1 And they are a great looking couple! I love the image inside the Grand Station that you converted into B&W except for the couple. Excellent job!
Joshua,
Thanks I certainly have been inspired by your expert portraitures over the past years on this forum. I imagined in my minds eye that shot in Grand Central Station and told my daughter and her fiancé about my idea before the shoot. I told them they had to be perfectly still while I took a few very long exposure shots. I was thrilled that it worked out as I had imagined!

Yellow coneflowers have finally come into bloom in my garden. They make a great combination with the pinks, which look almost purple in soft dusk light. The Trioplan's gorgeous "painted" bokeh provides the rest. A7RII, Meyer-Optik Trioplan 100/2.8.
I did a decentering-test today for 16-35f4
Feels like I got a pretty ok copy
The left side looks slightly weaker .. nothing that I think seems to be any major problem
I am quite pleased with the copy
Is about the same result at 16 mm, 21 mm, 28 mm

Daniel, what has happened to the bokeh in that shot? Did you use a filter? Looks like a mirror lens.. I didn't get any results like this with the lens.
I added a touch of the software called Alien Skin bokeh in Photoshop
Dale you seem to have had a great trip around Scotland etc. Was it a cruise in that area?
Here are a couple of images from Ireland. of the Gallarus oratory is located on the western tip of the Dingle peninsula. Constructed entirely out of locally sourced stone, the church is corbel vaulted. This entailed gradually overlapping the stones, so that each course projected slightly inwards until the arch was closed at the apex of the roof. The exact date of the church at Gallarus is unknown, although it is estimated that it may date from the 11th/12th centuries AD. It is a strange feeling standing inside of it with all that stone just stacked without the use of any mortar.
