The Photography Thread

[Siddhartht]

Then you might want to find other ways to utilize the crazy light gathering capabilities of the high ISO full frame and the fast lens. Night shots at the jetty? I'm sure the boats are lit up. Street photography at night

Not actually. The only reason I use 1.8 is depth of field for portraits, in fact I mostly work at 100 ISO anyways. One more thing to consider is that A7ii has a traditional CMOS sensor, whereas A7Rii/iii have BSI sensor, which is more optimized for low light photography. And I would say, going from APS-C to Full frame is nothing phenomenal; it all comes down to the photographer than the camera - and to some extent, the lens. I'm quite happy with the bokeh this lens has:

The bokeh is pretty cool.

I would love to get a full frame just to get the following type of images with zero noise. This is at f/4.5 at some 100mm

Well, then you would need to buy an expensive full frame like A7Sii or A7rii, because A7ii has similar noise characteristics as A6000 (probably because of same sensor tech).

With great camera comes equally expensive lenses - said someone once

Full frame is really cheap to get if bought used...a superb 5DMK2 can be bought for as low as 50k ..but the lenses are just too costly .
maybe it can be compensated with old lenses.

Lunar Eclipse, taken from my house terrace. It was difficult to get sharp moon. Phase detection is somewhat accurate but contrast-detection in live view keeps hunting. Manual focusing takes more time and patience. Taken on Nikon D5300, AF-P 70-300mm Lens, Tripod and Remote.

You generally tend to shoot or at least the ones you post here are high ISO photographs aka low light photographs. I don't think FF is maaaaassively better in low light. May be a couple of stops better not more.

Setting at infinity or back off a little bit after setting at infinity should do. I don't know why it was tough for you.

The last two don't have much contrast despite shooting with the same lens. Is it the way the light? Kinda hazy. I was thinking "did he shot those two with his Sigma?"

Missed the wildlife shots Sujoy. Great ones

I shoot a lot of low light shots, hence many of them come out at ISO 3200 types. The sony nex6 is pretty good at it, but from what people tell me full frames are amazing

Thanks amlan.
Yes for shooting low light nothing compares to full frame + prime lens

Even I don't know what happened that day but it happened quickly. All the neighbors had come on my house terrace to see the moon and were chitchatting. I was so confused.

The blue Moon is too dark to focus properly and city dust pollution makes the visibility worst. I guess either slow shutter speed caused the blur (even though I have used sturdy tripod and remote) or the wind.

On normal moon phases, I have taken near sharp photos using AF and handheld.

Looks cool, next time if you get a chance do an early morning shoot. The golden hour is amazing

Awesome, check out google for pre wedding shoot poses, ideas and props. Carry stuff to make it look more fun (guitar, rings, card, chalk boards)

Some suggestions off the net. *uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/37bb4d48824c10bee1cb8c571531d7ce.jpg*uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/03f45a7b0e1f2aeaf526754b0f42862f.jpg*uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/2a3d3af92e7b02f9920ed27e10d77ec7.jpg*uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/f9e9b59bd6baaf057ca02e426d29a8bb.jpg*uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/3825a3ff7d94dfd7c0a49eaa22c793c5.jpg*uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180207/f7f3ad04a0bf4d925e52be5d7a43aba2.jpg

I'm quite out of loop with forum, thesis and stuff. Oh, and some random pictures of stockholm here and there with a 85mm lens.
