Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

I got up early after looking out the window and saw snow on the ground outside our hotel in Santa Fe. I spent a few hours shooting around the plaza. It was quite windy which wasn't ideal for shooting so early in the morning. As a result, some of the lights and foliage moved. I couldn't decide if I prefer the color or black and white version so I'll share both.

I'm not sure what but this reminds me of a scene in something like a horror or crime movie

I like them both but in this case, I think I like the B&W best. It looks colder and the contrast deeper.

Love the first one. Lighting, moment, expression are all wonderful. Which lens did you use?

Black and white. Which is strange because I'm not really a mono fan in general.......

With my new 35mm Art

Eddie, got the new gopro case and tripod/selfie stick. It looks like it'll do everything I want it to do, except for float. I'm replacing the joby floating grip, which was free from B&H, you really need a grip or something when walking with this thing. Would like the tripod feature, so it's got it, want the extension aspect for low and high perspectives, and this thing is great for that, so much range. Lastly, didnt want anything heavy, have had heavy selfie sticks in the past.... this thing is really lightweight for what it is, under 200g I think. Such a versatile setup, only a slight bit larger than my default grip.

Looks good Charlie, I’ll see if I can source one

Edit - is it this one? Or is there a GoPro specific one ?

I think it needed more which was bad timing since it snowed a lot more the next day but this was our last day there.

Thank you Gene. I tend to agree with you.

agreed, the black and white is more interesting to me on this one, better contrast and mood.

Thanks Travis. The color of the sky in the color image is throwing me off. I do prefer the black and white version after looking at them with fresh eyes today.

Charlie - what’s your thoughts on the shorty? I see it gets good reviews

looks like the same one, possibly different seller. here's the link on the american site: https://www.amazon.com …tle_o04_s00?ie=​UTF8&psc=1 reviews are verified through fakespot. It's definitely made for gopro, with an adapter for phone. I like it because there's only the tilt axis for the head, no tripod head, dont actually want for this sort of thing.

I had to make a choice between the three, yunteng, shorty by gopro, and 3 way by gopro.

I wanted shorty for the size, but felt it was giving up too much being too small. Close to ground walking shots, and very high, looking down, drone like shots would need 3 way or yunteng. 3 way is too big and heavy.

there was one alternative that I thought was worthwhile to yunteng, and that was the mpow stick: https://www.amazon.com …fRID=5YDYEHXQDA​YY17M8SNZ8

it's nearly 3cm shorter, and in the bags I have, that can make all the difference. I think shorty can fit into my peak 5L bag vertically, while yunteng cant

that said, I may still get a shorty if I find the yunteng to be too big and cumbersome. I've also got a ScottEVest to carry this gear for travel
