I took these at a recent mountain bike retreat weekend. Amanda (pictured) started the fire going but then she really got into a rhythm of spraying embers upward with the large branch she wielded. She was in a focused, trance like meditative state. Away from the fire, super friendly and solid bike rider.

Wow, really nice pop & blur, especially considering it's APS-C. Did you soften the background somehow in 15mm shots?
Thanks for the kind words. Yes I blurred the background for the 15mm shots. With my current software i.e. DXO PL Elite 7/FilmPack7, PS (with neural filters and generative AI) and Topaz AI, I think I bought my last FF camera already.

You did a great job blurring the background. The results definitely look pleasing and natural looking.

Staying at the same location, the Blue City in Morocco - she is probably a French tourist and she was posing for a companion. I pointed at my camera while looking at her and she nodded. The power of the sign language!

I did a fitness style photoshoot for the girlfriend of one of my best friends and partner. As you ca see, she spends a crazy amount of time in the gym. This is the first time I tried this type of photography.
I used my A1, a variety of lenses, and a Godox off camera flash setup. I shot a couple with my Leica M11 to see how the strobes work with that camera. Exactly the same as the Sony it turns out.

Here are some random samples so far.
Wow, can we say toned? She must have worked out everyday at the gym…
