Taken last night at sea with a Sony a6000 and Samyang 12mm. I did my best to stabilize the camera against one of the rails on our flight deck. It was a 2 second exposure, 1600 ISO and f2.

Yeah, we were doing about 16 knots that night. I was fortunate to have a 3/4 moon out to provide me with the light. Last night I took a couple pictures of the full moon and will post those later. Back to the stabilization. Yes, the ship is constantly vibrating and not to mention you have to time roll of the ship with the swell of the wave to the press of the shutter. The way I see it is that the more I do it the more proficient I become. Lets hope the a6100 has that stabilization built in!

I like the lens a whole bunch. It is a little touchy trying to focus at night time in the dark though but it is very sharp. I have no plans of moving to full frame anytime soon. I bought the a6000 about 3 months ago and love it. I upgraded from a Canon S110 which at the time was a top of the line P.A.S. As with everything in life though I out grew it and wanted to further hone my skills. To be honest this camera has opened up a whole bunch of creative ideas for me that the Canon couldn't. I didn't go with the 8mm cause it didn't look right to me.

Was able to get a pic of some lighting last night during the storm. I took over 50 pictures last night and this was one of the best ones.

If you put that shot^ into an editing program you could most likely lift a whole lot of detail and lightness/exposure into that shot especially if shot in arw [raw] format etc.

 

You probably know this already. Its surprising whats hidden in the supposed darkness.

 

I find even the sony image data converter to be a reasonable program for basic edits.

I actually did run it through PS and topaz denoise. It was shot in arw, at 15 sec exposure, f2 and ISO 1600. The pic I have on my laptop is a lot brighter than what was uploaded here and also a 12MB file. It might have something to do with this forum and how they compress it? IDK though.

Taken about an hour ago. Was super happy with how this turned out. It was a 6 second exposure, 640 ISO, f2 and the swells are 4 to 6 feet. I processed in light room then loaded into photo shop and used some topaz filters.

The samyang 12mm f2.8 fisheye has full frame coverage (but the extreme fisheye barrel distortion doesn't show as well on APS-C). The 8mm fisheye is only for APS-C. If you don't want the fisheye distortion, the 14mm samyang doesn't show as much (but is still pretty wide).

      Aperture and shutter speed move together, even though I'm in

      Are you sure you haven't assigned some strange setting to the front or rear dial? If it were me, I'd check all my settings. If all else fails, do a factory reset.

      A7 IV Freezing

      By Cameratose · Posted

      It really doesn't tell you anything, your assumption is based on a very scant bit of evidence. I use an A7 IV as my backup and have shot it in much, much colder temperatures than that, well below freezing. I've shot it in rain, snow and brutally hot temperatures, next to pavement that scanned 140°F in direct summer sun. There would be no point in manufacturing a camera that couldn't operate in such normal temperatures. Something else was going on.

      A7 IV Freezing

      By rngrrik · Posted

      Update: A bit more information. I used both the Sony and Chipfancier CF A cards in the A7 IV while in Alaska in temperatures ranging from high 40°F to low 70°F never below freezing. When I arrived back home I replicated the same setup with the A7 IV & 200-600 f5.6-6.3 Sony lens and switching the two mentioned CF A cards and had no issue shooting on Hi continuous. I tried various other lenses and got the same results. So that tells unless it was a fluke the A7 IV can't operate within the above temperature range.  I am heading to Africa next month and hope I do not have the same issues of the camera hanging up or buffering. I can't think of anything else to try or do.
