Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

I got a loaner from Fuji to try out and it was nice (owned the S, T & F previously). Will likely end up with the V at one point in time, it’s a great vacation do it all camera

A good way to bring a 2nd camera along as well. unless you're going minimal

really like the x100 series especially with the new lens. good gas control, I'd probably be suckered in after being able to use it.

The color seems accurate. i think the Color Science of Sony now is great. this was just AWB.

I think so too, a7c, a7s3, a1 seems to have good colors. I find myself just using the sooc jpgs on some pics. Ones that I do pp are landscapes and a few selectives.

Thanks Eddie.

I think the debate or difference is what is the purpose of the media...in RE the goal is just to show off the place and hope someone will like it enough to buy it. In Architectural work, it is showing off the design, details, showing the work of the designer and their talents. You would use framing or compositions that you would never use in RE work. I shot a space for this client, their own home, his architect also had it photographed...that guy was an RE guy in the Bay area and the two sets of images couldn't be more different. Nothing wrong with that, the styles just look very different.

This one is from the one of the other projects we shot I am working on next...it is an image I really like.

A1+2.0TC+200600 at 1070mm.
Never liked the 2.0 on the 200600 on the a9 or Riv.
Maybe the A1 is different, or maybe this is a one off.

Oh, Poof just walked in with a huge inotonous obliquous saying 'what's this'.
Gold I responded....if you like tea

UM well i need to take the 2.o tc off my list then!!!!!

leaves me money to buy the Fuji GSW690II a 6x9 film camera

Lee, is your insert quite tight in the kamber 42 at the bottom? I went for the Neweer one as it wasn’t as tall (similar depth and width) and it’s a bit of a pinch point at the bottom. Will still work ok though I think. I’m just trying to decide if I have enough space in the rest of the bag for the other walking gear I need to carry. Also finding the empty bag quite heavy in comparison to others I’ve used

Also, is this the orientation you have your insert? I.e flapping down like that ?

The Pacsafe is tight at the bottom yes. It does open the other way though - to the side.

I was surprised to see how much these are going for on eBay. Since it uses 120 film, it would be something I might be interested in as well.

(I paid $38.47 for my Kodak Vigilant Six-16 on eBay.)

This one is a bit more experimental trying to push hard to accomplish things entirely inside the Adobe apps inside iPad Pro. A scene like this entails massive color temperature issues as the night sky, street lamps, and interior lights are all at severe odds with each other. After using some extensive masks in LR to isolate the bad color temperature inside the store it still wasn’t enough, so I brought the image in to PS (iPad Version) and used a bunch of curves adjustment layers to eliminate the remaining bad color casts. Because Adobe has so far crippled their iPad LR and PS, this was just a lot more work than it needed to be. I literally felt like I was time-traveling back to the 1990s and working in a really primitive version of PS.

This is somewhat a failure. I had to quit and just could not find the patience to fix all the color temperature error - just the worst bits - but I’m really glad to have tried and maybe I can keep improving. I enjoy the challenge and hopefully Adobe will soon bring their iPad apps more up to speed. A year ago they didn’t even have a curves adjustment layer, so they are making progress.

Here is the SOOC for reference…I think you see all the color errors that remain in my edited version:

Looks good to me David.

I agree that while LR for ipad is fantastic, anytime you need to get down and dirty in post, photoshop is pretty limited. I suspect it's a hardware limitation. That said, I haven't tried affinity pro which is supposedly great.

I almost pulled the trigger on the M1 ipad pro, but I think I'd need to see apple truly merge MacOS and padOS so thst we get desktop caliber apps on the iPad before I throw more money at the idea.

The flipside is my surface book, which had been inherited by my kids for homeschool, but still use to process on the touch screen sometimes. It's basically a desktop caliber tablet, but using a desktop apps and a desktop OS environment with a touchscreen interface has its own set of issues.

yup, looks good to me. I sometimes take a break whenever I look at my images too much. My eyes may or may not see a different color taste when I resume.

Maybe I wasn't clear/concise...but so far I like the 2.0 + 200600 on the A1, not so much on the a9 or the Riv.
But remember one man's opinion who just tries to get an image

For that perched shot I was very pleased.
Honestly at 1000-1200mm I don't think I could stay on a BIF...just too old with my reflexes.

Reflexes and reaction time. Well I need to improve but wonder if I can.....
But I now know why Cliff Swallows have no neck. They hit the water so hard and fast that a normal
neck would snap!
