One more from the Farmers Market. 'Princess in Waiting'. Dunno if the comp works, but I kind of like the dog (collar said Princess) looking off for her owner, and the leash holding her back. Kind of makes an interesting sense of tension, maybe...
Michelle, thanks for your kind words, they are much appreciated. I checked the pic, and the man on the rocks is in focus. DOF actually extends to infinity. Thta is one of the advantages of using a 24mm lens stopped down on a crop sensor: vast DOF...I guess what you are seeing is low contrast, which I selected in PP.
Your dog shot certainly works for me. A cracker of a shot!

Thank you!!
Very interesting about the man on the rocks! It may well be low contrast... Or maybe I am just getting used to too many crunchy oversharp images.
Well, Michelle, there you are right! Crunchy, he definitely ain't..... I also checked another shot with a man so far out that he is quite small, on a picture I published on the previous page, and he is no crunchier, though also in focus. That picture, unlike the one you commented on, is focused to infinity rather than on the foreground, so there can be no question of where the focus is. So what you are really saying is, you'd like more sharpening, I guess...

I think sometimes true WA photos like that lose their impact at smaller viewing size, at least I have noticed it for some of my own photo like that. I don't know what the answer for that is, other than seeing them bigger.
Just out of curiousity, what was your sharpening routine for that image?
Michelle - i like the dog shot.Hard to go wrong with a face like that.
Philber - i like the perspective on the last shot.
Rioni - Nice shot of the mansion.That 50 Cron has great contrast,sharpness and color.Is that your house? If So DANG!!

I've been following this thread for a couple weeks now. The images here are fan-freaking tastic!
Just got an nex 5n, can only dream of taking photos like these.

Awesome heavenly beam of light mco
Thanks Jae, it was spectacular for a few minutes... Wayyyy beyond my abilities for light shaping. I'm glad NEX files will take so much pushing around without totally falling apart.

Congratulations on your new NEX 7 and I like your photos.
I had to smile when I saw your post because at the beginning of July you posted that putting multi-thousand dollar lenses on an APS-C sensor was a waste. Of course, I disagreed with you at that time and I'll be interested to get your further opinions after you've had some more time with the new camera.
