And to be ten again and spending the day playing there in and out of the cool shade. Catching craw-dads and salamanders and bringing snakes home in my pockets (not the pointed snout ones). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was with a group of 20 people trying to get this shot. I was the lighting tech. with my friend doing the workshop. It was a good opportunity to test out my new Sigma 85 mm. Art Lens adapted to a Sony A7 R II. It's probably wide open or f/2, I can't remember, but I was going for shallow DOF all day. Yes, I know about the stand leg.

Marvel Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Claude, how it the electronic viewfinder on those? Must be very good to be able to use outside and actually see what you are shooting. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well the DOF appears shallow for sure on these photos ☺️ Almost as with my old manual Nikkor 135 f2,8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMike Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Davis Monathan AZ Air Show March 2019. F-35 "Pissing Off The Neighbors and Enemies". Edited May 30, 2019 by CAMike 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizzio Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Excellent pic! We had an airshow in my town about 2 months ago. Local airport, National Guard station too. Two F-35s flew demo for two days (actually 3 days, first day for practice which I saw too) , flew in from Alvin Calendar AF base each day to do show demo, did not land nor static display. Incredible aircraft! I have seen a LOT of military aircraft fly over the years, but the maneuvers and flight ability of the F-35, simply incredible! Low speed flight and maneuverability. Sets a new standard. The evolution of stealth, computer aided technology and flight control. As of today, we will not sell F-35s to anyone, not even our allies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be very good to be able to use outside and actually see what you are shooting. Bruce When photographing twin sibling High School Seniors last year, I noticed that there's a "frozen" time lag in the finder while the RAW and JPG files are written to the card and I was panning. It's quite disconcerting in comparison to the clear and near instant view of a MIRRORED DSLR, which Blackens the view for a fraction of a second as opposed to 2-3 seconds in the Sony. This is why they created the super fast A9 for action. Using a 42 Megapixel camera for speed is not what it was designed to do, but rather give max resolution and sharpness. This camera gives my Sigma/Foveon based cameras a run for their money in the sharpness department, but you can still do High ISO shooting with it. That A series 85 from Sigma is scary sharp at all apertures, even wide open as I have to make a 24x36 inch print to even see all the micro detail. Photoshop retouching is required on all portraits with that lens. LOL. But you can tell when you look in the finder that your are looking at an OLED vs. the pristine clarity of a Pentaprism on a DSLR with mirror. Photography has it's compromises as well as audio, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know One thing these days almost everybody carries a phone and most take ok-good pictures so cameras are everywhere. If they could take more general pictures instead of pics of themselves. Concerts are tough lighting no matter what you're using but can be amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
