Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Wow that's a blast from the past ! I've seen it a couple of times but of all the movies from that era Dune was by far my favourite.

David, when you use CPLs do you not use hoods? I bought a 67mm B+W KSM CPL for my Tamron (also fits my batis lenses) and realised when it arrived today it’s near impossible to turn with the hood on. Curious as to what you do

Sorry about my late reply. I typically just whip the hood off and turn the CPL as needed and remount the hood. Since I’m usually just trying to cut the glare off foliage I find that I only need to adjust the cpl every so often.

l love how the CV 40 hood is a screw-in...you just rotate the lens hood adjust the cpl!

Dune is fantastic. Also really like sci-fi channel’s two Dune mini-series.

I grew up a huge Tolkein fan, but find the LOTR movie trilogy borderline unwatchable. I’m nuts over GOT, though...can hardly wait for tomorrow night!

I also grew up with Tolkien, I think of the three movies the only one that I actually enjoyed was Return of the King but nothing compares too the book of course. My daughter is also a huge Tolkien fan she started reading incredibly early, I think at the age of 2 or 3 if I recall correctly and it was the first "grown-up " book she read when she was 6 or 7, she can still recite entire passages from that book which still amazes me today. Needless to say she's also a huge GOT fan and we are looking forward to tomorrows epic battle scene!

Snaps while on a family outing in my city

The more and more I push myself in post processing I really do enjoy the silly detail I get with a 24MP A7iii file. This is even using compressed raw.

My rx1rii eventually sold last night. Man that was hard to shift for some reason. I priced it lower than others were going for and it still took about 4 weeks!. I was worried I was going to regret it but I deliberately stopped using it when I listed it so now used to not having it

While searching for something else, I happened to notice the thumbnails of the two raw images and the final resulting jpg I blended of my TV. For the heck of it, I grabbed a screenshot to show what the originals looked like compared to the end result.

Hey, I'm bored.

My daughter showed me this abandoned hummingbird nest at her neighbor's house a few days ago. I was fascinated by the materials used to create it. It looks like it's made mostly of wood, leaves and paint chips as well as cat and dog hair.

That was so well done that I didn’t even question it the first time, I just thought to myself that it looks like a great image from the tv. I never even thought that you would have done two exposures. Nicely done!

Thanks Eddie. The hardest part was evening out the light on the wall in post. I used two graduated filters in ACR for that.

BTW, the image on the screen is a moving screensaver from the Apple TV 4K device.

I never got a chance to get into GoT....I probably expose my kids to too much adult content when watching things on TV, but GoT is on a whole different level so it just never happened. The thing is, I LOVE fantasy, but this just never happened.

But those marvel movies man. Connecting 22 movies over the course of 11 years into this overarching saga, while telling really great individual stories and building out all these characters...its a feat of storytelling that's unprecedented and stupidly ambitious. For fans of these movies, 11 years builds a lot of emotional investment into these characters and their stories, and the emotional payoff for those who've followed this closely all this time is huge. They really nailed the conclusion.

The funny thing is, outside of one big fight scene at the end of the movie, there wasn't much action

I haven’t seen any of the marvel movies oddly. I’m a big fan of the batman movies etc but never got into marvel. I really need to make a point of checking them out. Huge GOT fan though! Can’t wait until tonight/tomorrows episode

i like half of the Marvel movies, im a giant Hellboy fan but haven't heard any good things about the new movie, even though i was looking forward to it since i loved the Guillermo ones and i don't watch or read any GoT stuff for fear of anything being spoiled. i too am excited for tonights episode.

been walking around the past 2 weeks with just the 50 1.8 STM on the A7iii and i feel like i can almost live with just that kit. haha, my wife would love that.
