A friend of a friend made a post on social media about her 17 year old dog who is likely to pass away soon. I thought it would be nice to offer to go over and photograph her old doggo and other fluffy friends. She had an abnormally large livingroom so I had the pleasure of leaving the 135GM on the whole time. I ordered the 50GM a couple days ago, I hope its of a similar quality to the 135GM!
I was told the livingroom was quite well lit, though despite multiple downlights I still had to push into 1000ISO to go beyond f1.8 which was a little disappointing. I think the outcome was reasonable though. A couple of the images show a little movement, as a newbie to the 135mm focal length it seems anything below 1/100s can be a bit hit and miss.
Looking at a Limpkin.
Cropped almost entirely from left and right, tripod mounted Sony 200-60mm G set to 600mm and A7rIII; silent shutter.
ISO 100, f6.3, 1/200 second.
Exposure corrected -0.49 Stops.

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
Road photos of remote Ladakh, so remote I can't get a driver even a month before the 7-8 month long snow season starts. #1 a modern standpipe; #2 is the area's comms and police station, #3 a reliable spring water pipe. Excellent people are the police. Living in a poor yet idyllic mountain fastness will do that to you, brutal weather or not. People stick together and help each other without hesitation - light years away from our very troubled 'civilised' world. Current plans include Darjeeling and Sikkim, I may need an escape hatch at some stage.
