I'm a fan of ROA's stuff I've seen it online a bit. Him and Phelgm are def my two favorite artists.

Hi All!
Shooting season start to be over here. There is supposed to be some snow tomorrow... so good time to get back to Fred Miranda and other photography stuff.
Nice to see that A7/A7r/A7s keeps getting more popular. So we have slight change of getting some interesting native lenses as well - kind of waiting for Loxia 35, if it kept even 50% of magic what is in ZM 2/35 photos I'm pretty sure I'll like it. I was really close of getting 2nd A7, but decided to wait A8 or whatever comes next as both A7 and A7r have design issues of their own.
From optics point of view I didn't really get results I want from most of the new lenses, which were possible due to shorter register distance - Rokkor 58mm f/1.2, Canon FD L 1.2, Leica-M 50mm f/2 were are good lenses, but rendering style really didn't work for me. FE35 was clearly not for me and stopped using for nature photos already before summer. FE55 is technically pretty damn nice lens, I did lot of work to get it working for me, but rendering style just wasn't what I want from normal lens, and also 45mm or 50mm work better for me than slightly longer normal lenses. Both FE primes were used a lot to shoot landscapes (or lakescapes...) as shooting from boat is much easier with AF-lenses, specially when shooting alone (=controlling the boat with other hand).
New lenses what worked well were Contax G45 and G90 - G45 maybe best lens I have ever shoot with (not technically, but as total package considering all aspects). Also got some nice photos with G28, but it's rather challenging to shoot and limited to close-ups only due to thick filter stack in A7 (in A7r it's just awful). Naturally the "old gems" did work and were heavily favored at end of shooting season after I understood I don't get what I want from some of the new lenses I had high expectations.
Seems that I have few hundred pages to browse here...

Our babysitter's daughter is a senior this year and they couldn't afford portraits and asked if I'd be willing to take some pics. Hesitantly, I agreed, but forwarned them that I'm a novice and not to expect too much. Went out tonight and snapped these. Not great, but they were free and I was able to get some practice.

Very nice shots Alaska - I think she'll like them ! Good exposure / lighting.
However if I was you I'd get a little more variety in the poses/face. Checking pro's senior shots is always a great idea to find more that both you and she may enjoy. The Portrait forum on FM has hundreds.

Thanks for the input Frogfish. I only had an hour-ish, but am going to take some more in a few days. I noticed they all looked alike as I was going through them in LR. Going to check out the portrait forum and try and get some more pointers before I do it again.
The more I review the pics from yesterday, the more I'm seeing trees growing out of her head (which I was trying to avoid), uneven lighting on her face (it was all natural light), pretty bad CA in a few of the high contrast shots (which I corrected, but it seems to jump from one spot to another) and she has the same smile and pose in every picture. I think Frogfish was spot on. I really do love people pictures though. Great landscape/architecture shots can take your breath away, especially now knowing how difficult they are to take and process properly. Thanks for the help and critiques.

Love this! The composition and the pp, which enhances the composition in my opinion.
Some more from last weekend, when it was sunny. The gray and rain has begun in Seattle.

More 135/3.4 Leica + A7 yesterday:

DSC01842 by unoh7, on Flickr
DSC02080 by unoh7, on Flickr
DSC02027 by unoh7, on Flickr
DSC01964 by unoh7, on Flickr
I was whining in another thread about the lack of infinity stop with adapters on A7: I'm now totally spoiled by the M9 in this respect, and I can shoot it faster than the A7, even close in, though obviously for critical situations, like high speed with off center focal points, the A7 is better.
But to be fair, my hawks M CF adapter has an adjustment for this, so if I got off my butt and set it, things would be easier with the Leica 135 above
The other really nice thing which Sony could easily do (since Leica does), is that the M9 makes a very good aperture guess on each shot, rarely off by much
I'd parked in the last shot to try and catch my favorite mammals:
DSC01927-2 by unoh7, on Flickr
Fastest land animal in NA, and fastest on earth past 2 minutes (that's how long a cheetah can last at high speed), incredibly adapted with huge eyes, blood coolers on the skull, bones 20 times more dense than a cow, and about ten different gaits.
Just wish I'd got a better shot!
Here they were when I first saw them:
DSC01899 by unoh7, on Flickr
oh....they are pronghorn antelope No close relation to African antelope, they had some really wild cousins in NA last ice age, but now these are the only ones left.
