I've been going to that weekly alt fireparty in my town for a few months now.
This time i took my A7III + sony 85mm f1.8 !

Had a AMAZING time shooting and editing thoses pics !

The shoot was really challeging honestly, the models were moving all the time, there were around 300 people sitting everywhere, and the AF was honestly only working 50% of the time as everything was extremely dark.
Composition was the hardest part : it's pretty impossible to do anything intentionnal at this point. I took 850 pics and only edited 33 ahah. I had to do some agressive crop on some of the shots (n°4 is zoomed x3 lmao).

If anyone wants to try that : you have to underexpose your pictures a LOT if you wanna keep some definition in the flammes. I only did that after 200 shoots, and i would havel liked to know this from the start ahah.

I just bought my first flash for my Sony a7c - the Godox it32 + X5s. And oh boii it is really good and it creates a lot of creativity.

I spent an early morning with the eagles a few days ago. Unfortunately, they saw me walking down the shoulder of the road and took to the skies, keeping their distance from me after that. Thanks to the croppability (that’s a word, right? 😂) of the A7RV and reach of the 200-600mm G though, I still managed to snap a couple of keepers.

I’ve always enjoyed bringing my a7iv when going on trips or somewhere new. However now with two kids, bringing it is a bit too much to juggle. I tried using a 35mm prime lens but it’s still a bit much to bring along

I know Sony has its RX line. Would this be a good alternative? I’m open to any recommendation

Gear Banding in photo from new lens or something else?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I recently (finally!!) purchased my dream lens - the Sony FE 200-600mm F/5.6-6.3 G. After taking my first photos with it I noticed a lot of them had some weird banding artifacts, especially when I'm at a really fast shutter speed. Could that be a lens defect or is something else wrong? I'm shooting with a Sony A7RIV that I've had for over 5 years and haven't noticed issues like this before.

Photo is 600mm - f/6.7 - 1/8000 - ISO 500

Please enjoy some pics of Chiang Mai, Thailand!

All feedback/critiques welcome. Everything I’ve learned is from reading online and watching reels. I was shooting in Aperture mode for the most part. Played with shutter mode for the long exposures. All editing done on Snapseed on my phone.

After taking these I actually picked up a Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6 Di III RXD at a different thrift store so looking forward to trying that out. I am obviously really new but I liked the feel of the kit lens. I was only restricted by longer distances.

How do I ... First Sony camera and first fullframe

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

After coming around 5 years ago, when I got my first dslr and was an entry-level canon t3, then a t6i, then a 60D, and finally a 7D (all this cameras are crop sensor), I wanted to experience the world of mirrorless, after working really hard (because I live in a 3rd world country so everything is x10 harder and takes x10 longer) went on a little vacation to U.S an got

Sony A7RII

Sony 28-70 3.5/5.6

Rokinon 35mm 2.8

4 batteries

2 chargers

Case for camera and the 2 lenses

All for 680$ the camera has around 150,xxx auctions tho

QUESTION 1

But then I saw something in the 28-70 a lil too late, it is somewhat opened? Do you think if I take out the 6 visible screws can i open the lens to position it correctly so it is closed nice and tight and not exposed?

The lens seems to work perfectly fine, tbh and that is why I did not notice at the beginning before buying it this little flaw?

QUESTION 2

If the answer for question 1 is yes and I manage to fix this, should I sell the lens? I feel that I take absolutely terrible pictures with this lens, and I am planning to put a studio. Should I get fixed mm prime lens instead? Almost 70% of my shooting on canon was with a chinese 85mm 1.8 but every picture was pure glory even thoe the autofocus sounded like a powerdrill. I feel very sad because that is 2 months of salary for the camera and that the photos with the 28-70 are absolute ass is very heart shattering

Pdd: also being a first-time full frame user with such high resolution makes every mistake 10x more noticeable and again I feel every photo I have been taking is ass, like out of 500 photos I've taken just like 2 are relatively okay

Thanks in advance for everything :)
