It's usually a case of right evening, right place, right time rather than 'working' on them

First gives a nice tranquil feeling - but does need some sensor spots removing

Pretty sure the spots there was due to a slightly dirty lens that i didn't notice until i was done *DOH* one of the perks of being on a beach that has a slight breeze i guess!

Thanks for the kind words!

Dirt on the lens would not resolve like that and would most likely hardly be noticeable. Those marks are definitely from dust on the sensor. You're shooting at F/22 and that's the reason they show up so clearly. Try shooting a plain white surface at F/22 to see just what you've accumulated.

Time for a sensor clean, probably.

I do like the feel of the shots, though.

My wife and i are going to be going on a European vacation this September. We will be visiting Italy and Greece over the span of 2.5 weeks. I am super torn on bringing my A7ii with me as i don't want to feel like i need to baby sit it everywhere i go and worry about it being swiped from me. Those of you that travel a lot, particularly to other countries how have your experiences been? I don't want to stand out as the visitor and become a target with a couple grand of camera gear on me. But at the same time, i don't want to regret not having it with me and only having my iphone 7+

New thread is up! Tell your friends:


Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Irishguy, in case you missed the announcement, we've moved to a new thread

A week ago on the Utah trip.
Worst time of day (1pm) to shoot a waterfall.
Used a CPL, an ND, and the SR app-

Been missing you folks. Had a total knee replacement done 3 weeks ago. Things are great physically I am supposedly way ahead on the recovery.... I was prepared to get off the drugs prepared to knock the physical therapy off the chart. I was not prepared to sit and not sleep and just be a grump.

Finally grabbed my camera for the first time checking the batteries and cards. Going to try and shoot something this weekend.

have like 40 pages of your comments to catch up on.....egad.

Good to hear the recovery is going well.

Once you get caught up here, the new Sony Lounge MKIII thread is already at page 25...

Sometimes I wish I could do more simple one light portraits.

A7II and Zeiss 35 1.4ZA - Love this combo

Could have been better. It sometimes seemed we were being shunned.
