Giving back with our Cameras.

 

So last summer I had the idea that the local Animal Shelter could perhaps increase their adoption rates if they had better photos of their animals. So from time to time I started volunteering to lend my talent to help them achieve that goal. It actually worked too, as it put more people in the door to see these precious animals. I love animals, cats specifically, and I love being able to use my talent to give back to society.

 

I hope you enjoy these photos, full gallery on my website at this link!

Great photos! I checked them out on your site. I'll take them all! (Just kidding - I have 4 so I'm already destined to die alone) Seriously, though, what a great way to give back. I did the same a few years ago at one of the local shelters, although my photos were not as good. Yay for helping kitties!

Kyle - all of these photos, as well as those posted on your site are clear winners! Any one of them could break a heart! Well done!!

 

And thanks for using the 55mm f1.8 as I've been agonizing over the cost of it versus a 50 mm f1.8 and I think you're tilting me in the 55/1/8 direction. I love the way these cats' eyes pop into dominance and capture the photo. Many thanks!

      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.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      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.
