Season of Summer Light Week 28, Wednesday - Strawberries
"Beginning of this season I told you about the Finns obsession for the ice-cream in summer. Ice-cream isn't the only thing we connect with summer - another one is strawberries which are bought from the market square, eaten and also stuffed in freezers for the winter. Strawberries are essential for summer and no self-respectful Finn will go about without getting some of them. I should also add that they are very healthy with a nice amount of C-vitamin in them. Like others we also plan to buy them and we've been speaking about 5 kg (most of them will go to freezer and we'll be eating them along winter). But the thing is our freezer is currently too full which means I need to shape up and start eating all the stuff we've put into it. Hah, feels like work when you actually have to do it.. [...]"
FE55 with NEX7
This body really show me how crazy the FE55 capable of. The zoom in detail simply looks magic to my eye.
The light is harsh and boring at noon in Oregon, hence BW

Nice landscapes. I am guessing these are from Crater Lake?
It may just be my monitor, but I do notice a bit of patchiness in the sky gradients.
Here are a couple from around Haeundae. Sigma 30 and Nikon 200/4 ais.
Season of Summer Light Week 28, Saturday - Splash!!
"Lately I've been fascinated by the idea that I could get that summer light very literally in my pictures by shooting in back light scenarios and let the light bounce inside the lens causing haze and sun flares in final pictures. If one goes by the textbook it's 'against the rules', but in my book the imperfections and happy accidents created by this technique adds something very special to pictures - an element of being there, one might say. [...]"
Agreed on the A6000 being excellent. I've never been a fan of the NEX cameras, and while Fuji is still my main kit (primarily due to the lens lineup and the excellent direct controls), I really enjoy the A6000, especially with the small and excellent Sigma primes.
Best bang for buck photo gear I've used in a long time...maybe ever. There are still some areas where it lags behind my X-T1 (mainly RAW file integrity when pushed hard), but what a great capable little camera with a ton of features and really nice image quality. The NEX-6 I have is a nice camera, but still has so many infuriating things that ruin the experience for me, and the A6000 has fixed essentially all of them.
Here are a few from this morning with the A6000 and Sigma 60mm f/2.8:
