My Sony A7s Landscape Portfolio

Hi there!

 

I thought, I'd share some of my newer landscape-pictures I shot with my almost one year old A7s. I switched from a Canon 5Diii to the Sony A7s, regularly using my old Canon lenses and some newer Sonys.

One of the first pictures I took with my new camera. It's Austria's Hallstatt Village.

 

 

Also, since I own the A7s, I really got into night-photography. Here's Europes "highest" church at the top of the Dobratsch-Mountain in Carinthia, Austria, and some other random shot at the Sommeralm in Styria.

I'll add more from time to time :)

Thanks for the kind words so far :)

 

Here's something "a litte more special": Fireflies in a nearby forrest. It was kinda scary, walking through the woods all alone as it wasn't as bright as it seemed to be in the picture.

Plus some other milky-way-shot I took during the "pleyades-shooting star season" last year.

Hi there and thanks!

 

If I remember right, the astroshots have all been done with the Sony 28mm 2.0, the firefly/fireworks-thing with the 55mm 1.8 Zeiss and the windturbines with my trusty 135mm 2.0 (plus 2x converter) Canon lens.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. What are your typical settings for milky way shots? I sold my A7ii and I'm now deciding whether to immediately buy an A7S (reasonable price used) or save a bit more for the A7Sii. Your input will be appreciated!

Long time no see :)
@AL PHA

As A7s I user I don't see a reason to change to the A7sII. Lossless Raw would be the only one I guess cause startrails look kinda ugly with tha A7s, especially while pixel-peeping.

 

 

I bought a Sony 16-35mm last Friday and had "a little luck" with it on my weekend-mountain-trip :D

I'll post some of my shots from my recent Soutwestern US trip. I own a A7r too since about a year so the topic-name isn't 100% correct anymore :)

    • Assuming you didn't change the functionality of the button: the default function is 'focus hold', meaning that if you're in continuous AF mode, the focus is locked at whatever distance it was at and it'll no longer change with half-pressing the shutter button. Apparently this function doesn't work together with face/eye AF, which kind of makes sense: if you're trying to focus on an eye, the distance is usually not constant (either you or the subject moves). Locking the focus position will cause the eye to go out of focus.
    • As far as I know, the only way to reset this camera is through the menu, but of course, navigating in the menu without a display is not possible. One option could be to connect the camera to a TV screen with HDMI cable, press the show images button and see if you can access the menu from there.   Some users have reported an "unofficial" way to perform a hard reset. Please note that I have not tested them and I am not aware if they work or ultimately you will end "bricking" the camera, so this is a big "proceed at your own risk", assuming that you have nothing to lose and everything else failed. Remove the card, so your pictures are safe. Try several times removing the battery with the camera on and leaving it out for some time. The sudden loss of power might cause the camera to reset.  
    • Hello. While traveling in India, my camera on a tripod got caught in the wind and fell from above. Unfortunately, I managed to find it Unfortunately, viewfinder didn't work. So I made a mistake and switched the settings to ONLY viewfinder. And now the LCD screen shows nothing and I can take photos blindly. I tried changing the settings using the chain navigation buttons. But no luck. Could someone with this camera please Write instructions on what buttons to use to get to this option?  i try: MENU;9x RIGHT; 3x RIGHT; 1xDOWN; SELECT/CENTER; 1xUP; SELECT/CENTER Can someone check if this works for them with a LCD screen on?
