Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Just got back from a cruise with the Mrs. Since the kids didn't go with us we decided to go see the Tulum ruins in Mexico, something the kids would never do.... Well I'm glad I went but I'm not sure I would go again. Check off on the bucket list.

Just learned one of my favorite Rainier shots won the Galleria Feature in Landscape Photography Magazine. https://landscapephoto​graphymagazine.com/eve​nt/galleria

Believe me it does not look like this right now

Wow, loving your work. Particularly the colours and the symmetry

Sounds good Lee.

Hey, can anyone recommend a hiking boot? I don't own one and would like to get a set for my upcoming trip to DV.

I’ve got a pair of Mammutt boots with memory foam inners. Incredibly comfy and I have used them for 5-10 mile walks and full days out

Thank you. Will check it out. I was also looking at the Salmon QUEST 4D 3 GTX.

Boots are such a personal thing. I like Merrell, Salomon and Arcteryx. Mostly because they fit me perfectly. I would recommend going to a place like REI where you can return if necessary. I don't recommend Lowa's because they fit weird. REI's return racks are full of them.

The Salomon QUEST 4D 3 GTX is one of their best boots, and many happy owners.

I was about to recommend Solomon quest 4D 3 GTX to you after I read your first post! I use a La Sportiva 3 season boot but it’s rigid as it takes a crampon. However I’ve used that Solomon boot previously as a summer boot. It’s superlightweight and you don’t notice any weight on your feet. Reasonably waterproof too (in relation to Scottish rain which really challenges boots!)

Thanks Mike for the input. Yes I was planning to buy at REI and try them on. Appreciate it!

Get the best you can afford to buy. And try on several pairs...! I only have a cheapish pair in all honesty - £50 or so I think - but I can wear them all day, 7-8 miles no problem.

Alfredo, I’m now confused. I double checked online and I’m now thinking it was the Solomon cosmic gtx boot I had, not the quest. I had the sort of kiwi green colour of them and I can’t see the quests in that colour. I was recently considering the quest gtx as a new boot though and I think that’s where my confusion has come from.

I’m not sure of the difference between the quest and cosmic off hand though

This would be my suggestion as well, they are such personal things...I have wide feet so I have trouble finding boots that fit and don't hurt my feet. I have a pair of high top boots from The North Face now that have been good to me on long hikes and short hikes. I needed the extra support a high top provides.

How you guys cleaning your sensor of A7* ? My sensor is dirty beyond capability of built-in cleaner and rocket blower.
So far it did't bother me until I shoot some landscapes at F11 and beyond. I hate to clone stamp 20+ dust spots.

I've worn Merrel Moab hiking boots for about 10 years now and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

Here's a link to Amazon showing a selection of their hiking boots.

And me 'chillin' with a pair on my patio early last year. These are low tops whereas I used to get high tops when I worked in the field.

I bought the whole kit of parts recommended by Brian Smith. I clean mine a couple times a year...only 20 spots! That's not bad at all!
