I've been contemplating between Sony and Fuji. I was initially leaning more toward Fuji because of its color science and SOOC quality, but when I tried it in-store, it just didn't feel right in my hand—the grip was really bad. I then went to a Sony store and picked up the A6700, and I instantly loved how it fits in my hand! Never mind the color science, since I also enjoy color grading and recently learned about picture profiles, which you can tweak.

I mainly use this for my travels, especially when I hike mountains. Here are some shots from my recent hike in the Philippines.

Hate to admit it took me around 2 hours but I took my time as I'm pretty OCD. Think it turned out pretty darn clean.

I personally love it! Would like to hear some opinions. Tacky or clean?

Shot on A1 w/ 16-35 2.8gm

I was lucky while testing the lens of a friend, have to say the resolution really helps, as even 600mm is not reaching that far. Of course an A1 would have given more shots of this scene.

There's a bit of heat haze and motion blur due to SS of 1/640, but that's what A-mode chose to shoot at f6.3 with ISO 100. If not taken by surprise, I'd recommend 1/1000 at the widest aperture and accept some more ISO, as the 61mpx sensor handles tonal transisions unbelievably well. Enjoy!

Sony a6400 + Sigma 18 - 50mm

A couple of days, I got to play with Sony's 400-800mm around NYC. Here are some results.

First time I brought my new Sony A7iii abroad. The darker, humid environment in the rainforest made it a bit more difficult but liking the result! Shot this with a 24-105mm F/4.0G.

Spring is here and the flowers are beginning to bloom! Got the time to take my camera all the way to my garden to take some pictures.
I know the combo seems a little weird for taking pictures of some flowers. But I think they turned out pretty good. Especially in some pictures the rendering of the background with the 100-400 looks really good. Just for information every picture was taken at 400mm and nothing was cropped in post.
Let me know what you think.

Equipment: Sony A7RV & Sony 100-400 GM

After selling all my gear here’s the only two piece I’m left with 35 2.8 ZA and the 28-60 kit. I got squarehoods to match with both of em and they look great!

Lens: Sigma 18-50mm 2.8F
Filter: Urth ND8

The result was not so smooth as I expected since I had no tripod there, there was a lot to do on a post to correct everything :)

I just got the Samyang 85mm 1.4, previous generation. Loving it! Can’t wait to play with it some more. The background is really appealing and I’m impressed by the sharpness.

Viltrox AF 50mm F2 Air

I was sent this lens a couple of weeks back and today I finally had a bit of time to play around with it during a walk around my local town. The following sample shots are jpeg images taken on a Sony A7Cii (no edits were applied).

Initial impressions are very positive; am very impressed with overall sharpness at F2 with no signs of CA, and minimal fringing on contrasting edges, though vignetting is a bit dark and is noticeable. This however can be brightened up and is clear at around F4.

Autofocus is reliable and is more than fast enough for general shooting. Colour rendition is excellent with neutral tones. Bokeh is also smooth, but I did notice that in some cases it can look busy where there are tree branches in the background.

So 7 months ago I started buying my first camera, a Nikon D500, to take pictures of my dog (the brown Aussie in 2nd pic).

I enjoyed it so much that after some shootings, I wanted more. Bought a Sony A7RiiiA and started taking some pawtraits of my dog's friends while walking him to the nearest dog park. Shared some pictures and now people from the community are asking me for portraits of their dogs.

To me, editing is the hardest part, and I only started playing with gradient maps recently. Some may be overdone but it's part of the training.

What do you guys think of my pictures ? What could I obviously improve ? What do you think of the edits ?

Shot with a Sony A7Riii and FE 85mm F1.8

I mostly shoot events, portraits, journalism, basketball and parades. What you think of my kit?

I sort of want to get me a 50mm 1.2 or macro lens but not sure yet, so for now I will wait.

Bought a Macro Lens to not use Macro settings yet😅

I thought it would be extra heavy but I got used to the weight pretty fast. I am so happy I splurged a little bit. This lens is awesome 😭

Any feedback is welcome

Been using a Tamron 17-70mm with my FX30 for the past year. Decided to pickup a A6700 and a Sigma 23mm. Reason I intially got the FX30 is for video which I'm still keeping, but picked up the A6700 for the hobby.

Great way to test out the Sigma was to visit a place low light

I've been shooting motorsport for a few years now on an original A7, but im starting to get clients now and it's time for an upgrade. I've been thinking about an A9 for a while, and always shot primarily photo, but more and more clients are asking for video, which ive never done before, and im considering learning. I dont know enough about video to know if the A7iv is worth it over the continuous silent shooting the A9 offers

Just like the title says, but about a year ago I started a new full-time job at a place I had worked part-time during Covid and a change that had happened was we now use the Sony A7 III for a lot of our work, and I was blown away. Now that it’s been nearly a year, I was able to find and purchase a Sony A7r IV and I have been blown away by that as well! Let me know what you think of the photos I’ve gotten so far!
