Sony A7x lounge

Brought the 35 f2.8 out so I can forget about the rx1. Nissin i40 with flash bender (bounced camera left)

Mystik teach me about flash bender please.
I'm flying out in a couple of days with a Nissin i-40 and couldn't find a flash bracket for the A7Rii, maybe a 'bender' will help my cause.

Ordered the Pentax SMC Takumar 135mm F2.5 final version, the 6 elements. m42 mount

Looking forward to your impression. I'm considering picking this up next.

I'm starting to lean more and more towards the FE 35/2.8. Hard to give up that AF.

Given the beautiful cloud cover we had today, I wandered around parts of Long Beach (was there for a dinner meet) and hit up Hilltop Park as well.
Came home and just finished downloading the pics. Bleh! I appear to have made a horrible hash of everything.
Does that ever happen to you guys? Uninspired days? Where the light and skies are perfect, but you go out and shoot the worst compositions, with the worst settings and come home to discover nothing but blown skies, out of focus buildings, and compositions that make you cringe?
168 actuations today. ZERO keepers. ZERO!

I will for sure... I'm going to use the FE90 for family portraits which AF is a must especially with kids. For a model which i can slow down, i will use the 135.

That came out great! Where was this, if I may ask?
And I assume this was a sunrise? Not a sunset?

thanks fellas for the comments and likes.

i had that today,i was in town taking an employee to the airport and brought the camera,took all kinds of shots,horses,bridges,o​ld trucks etc maybe got 5 good ones,looked good thru the view finder haha

Uninspiring... I took out the 24-70 today, I was not inspired.

Yesterday, was able to ditch the crowd and had a great time shooting, but today, had some responsibilities and meh. Not a single sunset or sunrise was taken = fail.

If I could isolate a day for shooting, I could get good coverage, however I'll just have to accept the 4 hours I had yesterday.

i'm really impressed with how the Sony A7RII handle noise at high ISO. this pic was taken with 1/60sec F2.5 @ ISO25600. Ambient light.

No noise reduction. I just screen shot this one.

the second pic was just an export. no editing at all.

Extreme... ISO102,400 ETTR -1.5 exposure. No noise reduction

Wow. I need to try pushing ettr a bit more

Impressive Vin. Thanks for sharing. I've not done any ISO extremes yet but that day is coming.

Wow.......

Vinz, looks like they're having baby carriage races in the background.
