(Apologies for the hyperlinks, still trying to figure out posting on this forum)

 

My wife and I traveled to Zon National Park in Utah, USA in May of this year. Here are a few of my favorites:

 

Our first hike of the trip. Taken at sunset from Canyon Overlook Trail. 24-70 f/4 at 24mm f/9 HDR base image 1/200 ISO 100 handheld.

View of the Watchman formation near sunset on a day with better clouds. 24-70 f/4 at 35mm f/9 1/125 handheld.

Sunrise photo taken on our hike to observation point. We took a cheater's hike starting from a trailhead outside of the east enterance to the park. Made the one way trip distance around 3.7 mi on to of a mesa vs the 8mi starting from the canyon floor and hiking to the top. My wife is pregnant, so we had to be conservative on trip distances. 24-70mm f/4 at 49mm f/7.1 1/80 ISO 160 handheld.

Those are some of my favorites. We also saw Bryce Canyon National Park and Arches National Park while we were there, but those pictures will be in another post. Here's the link to the trip album on Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/149544869@N08/sets/72157681970352140

Again, sorry for the issues in the original post.  I thought that posting the links would have a preview image show up in the post.  I'm always happy to hear comments/critique of my images.  Hope you enjoyed!

 

Night shot taken from near main park entrance. Watchman formation is in view. Light from near full moon that night washed out some stars in my astro shots, but it did a great job of lighting the canyon wall as the moon was setting.  E 16mm f/2.8 at 16mm f/2.8 1/20 ISO 800 tripod.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
