Sony A7x lounge

Beautiful scene but I'd like to see a bump in contrast and vibrance. That would bring out the sun rays more too. Here's a quick example to show you what I mean...I used Nik Color Efex Pro 4's tonal contrast and darken/lighten center filters.

Gene, I re-edited the image. The original had a magenta cast to it and the golden yellows were not as golden as I wanted.

Here is version number 2:

Awesome Joon; really well-conceived and executed image.

I keep seeing gems like this with the CV 10mm that showcase the lens' FOV and I am just blown away by the image quality.

Thank you for kind words David. I'm 150% sure you would make much better images with this lens. I really enjoy your work.

thanks
A7R II = A7s/A7II + 1000€
and definitely no need for 42mp files
that's why leaning only A7s/A7II direction

I just sold my A7S. And to be honest, while its a fantastic camera, 12 mpx didnt cut it for me. The point was to get a camera that handles noise better at high isos but i rather use my A7RII at 12600 and downsample after NR instead of having no flexibility. The colors on the RII also seem quite a bit more accurate. Just my opinion

Inadvertently started this and feel I cant miss it each year now (excuse the second and third photos which are non Sony)

Wow, super shot Joon. Love how it looks like there is no water beneath the pier.

I like the improvement Alfredo. One thing you might try when evaluating an image for an overall tone is to add a curves adjustment layer, select either the R, G or B channel, grab the picker tool in the upper left of the box where the line graph is then place your cursor somewhere on the image and drag the picker up or down and view the results. Below is a little reminder image I made for myself as to what the complimentary colors are. If you use the picker on the neutral gray part of the image, it will change colors to match the color channel, either RGB or it's complimentary color. When done on a photograph, it makes it easy to add or subtract the selected color from the image to see if there is any improvement to your eye.

Here's my complimentary color reminder image to test color channel effects. With a curves adjustment layer on the "R" channel for example, dragging the picker up over the neutral gray portion adds red to the image and dragging it down adds cyan and so on.

Love the series Eddie, especially the most recent one. I'd almost swear you clone your face onto your sons the two of you look so much alike.

I'm curious where the hummers get to the nectar at your feeder Eddie. Are there small holes punched in the lid?

Butterfly feeder...hummers not invited.

Doh!, my bad. Where do the butterflies get to the nectar?

I'm debating the 70-300 vs the 70-200 F4. Does anyone who's shot with both have any comments on how the two lenses compare?

If I need a fast aperture telephoto, I have my 135 and 70-200 f2.8....so max aperture doesn't bug me much. Mostly concerned with AF performance and reach.
