war Posted August 16, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2018 Very nice, especially the whole window with the detail of the stonework. Difficult exposure done well 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted September 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) dunk, how did you manage to take the picture with verticals and horizontals correctly? The A7S is not flooded with pixels to be able to crop pictures. Jan Edited September 4, 2018 by jankap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) dunk, how did you manage to take the picture with verticals and horizontals correctly? The A7S is not flooded with pixels to be able to crop pictures. Jan Hi Jan, Camera was held at arms length slightly above my head and composition achieved by 'rubber necking' the monitor image … not by using the viewfinder … During image composition camera was tilted slightly up and down … and side to side .. in small increments … until the monitor image verticals and horizontals appeared to be as correct as possible … By holding camera above my head and 'rubber necking' the monitor image, converging verticals were eliminated … Had camera been held lower using the eye level viewfinder, converging verticals would have been inevitable because camera would then require tilting upwards to include all of the window … Focus was achieved using the image magnification facility …. and by stopping down to small-ish aperture … Live view amplifies the 'stopped down' image brightness enabling clear focus … The very dull / low light required high-ish shutter speed to avoid shake and image blur … but A7SII has excellent low light high ISO capability with good dynamic range … the selected high ISO ensured shake free high-ish shutter speed … not sure if I used camera's image stabilisation facility but would not have needed it with selected 35mm focal length … resultant image was not 100% perfect as regards verticals and horizontals and distortion … but was good enough to entirely eliminate any residual distortion using PS Elements distortion correction tools. The A7SII's superb low light imaging capability i.e. excellent dynamic range with low noise at high ISO, is the main reason I acquired the camera. Camera has relatively low pixel count but the large pixels respond very well to cropping …. and to shadow detail recovery … It's a superb low light tool camera … and unlike some Sony users I do not find the Sony menu system difficult or confusing Credit is also due to the Leica R 35-70/4 zoom lens which is distortion free and the equal of any Leica prime lens within its aperture and zoom range.

dkCambridgeshire Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted September 4, 2018 Jan , You advised me to try a Sony A7 when you witnessed me using the R9/DMR in Lincoln … but I bought an A7S instead … and then acquired the A7SII. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
