Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

The formation...

...a composite.


Bored this morning so I composited together two older photos of mine.

Sitting by the camper van on the shores of Watts Bar Lake at Euchee Marina along with 500 or so other campers... Most all here for the eclipse. Met folks from Houston to New York Florida and Pennsylvania. My image strategy is A7Rii and 100-400 for totality (no filter needed) and several bracketed shots, all on an Induro and giblets. The take everywhere everyday Olympics M1ii with PL 100-400 and filter for the approaching totality shots on my Mefoto. The RX100v on a small tripod shooting video of a white sheet on the ground hoping for the millions of snakes that might appear that most miss looking up. And my old EOS GX1 running time-lapse of something. Shot Milky Way last night with Milky Way emerging from the plume from the Watts Bar nuclear reactor. Little light noise pollution thanks to Travis. That filter works a charm on sodium vapor.

The formations, the moon and the banner sig--fantastic!

More from last night's self-portrait session. Which do you like best? Color or BW?

In this case, I think I prefer the color version Nadim. The lit side of your face appears a bit washed out in the B&W version. For all of your self-portraits, you might consider brightening your eyes irises just a small amount to add a bit more life to them.

Below is a quick example.

Love the hat too!

Thanks, glad you liked it. I put my sig on the bottom of two aircraft at first but wasn't happy with that look. Then it hit me to add a banner.

Genius isn't to be rushed, they say

One last one with the A77ii.

Not the cleanest shot in the world, but this hit cost #88 millions of dollars.

Instead of being a first or second-round pick, he dropped to the 5th round because of the obvious ACL tear he suffered.

Luckily, he took out a $500K insurance policy before this game.

colored for me too.

for this type of lighting though, this is how i would color tone it.
