Winston: “I thought you may be interested in my relaunched blog – wmlsays.wordpress.com (my winstonllamas.com domain redirects to that URL).  I am an amateur who enjoys photography as a hobby.  I will normally post pictures that I take along with writeups.  No equipment review, just pictures and short about the pictures.  I don’t discuss techniques, but you may find some of my ruminations useful.  Just photography from an amateur’s point of view.”

David: “I would love it if you would share a video I made showing how amazing the Sony A9 skin colours are against the canon 5D mark 1V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63-GMMTOmJ4“

Anonymous: “OCT 18, 2017 — Image & Nature, a french magasine about nature photography just published 4 pages about the Star Eater issue. Thierry Legault, Ian Norman and Frédéric Michaud were interviewed by Marie-Émilie Colle.
Incredibly, Sony did not answered the questions of the journalist…

Sony A7rIII tests roundup (Untitledshot, Jason Lanier, Patrick Murphy-Racey)

Share

Josselin Cornoufrom “Untitledshot” posted this video on top and also made some RAW images available for free download here: hive.co/l/sonya7r3raw. Hew writes:

“The Sony A7r3 is coming, and it feels like an important iterative upgrade over the A7r2. After trying it, it should purely be an update around increasing your productivity, with a better AF, 10FPS, longer battery life, dual SD card and a better grip.
On the image quality side, it is hard to justify upgrading to the A7r3. The image quality is so similar to the A7r2 that I was not – with the current Camera RAW processor – able to find any differences.
Pixel shift may seems like a good feature, but it requires a software to edit the file. No – the camera won’t do the stitching for you. You cannot see the result right away – I think it is a big limiting factor, especially for outdoors/landscape photography. Also the lack of playmemories software might be a limiting factor for those who were relying on apps.
On the other side, I was really impressed by the 24-105mm, the file won’t resolve 42mp, but still – this may be the first decent  all around lens for the Sony A7/A9 series.
P.S.: I also uploaded a quick Slow motion video of the two shutters: https://youtu.be/7L1B1WqZTmU.”

Samyang 14mm F2 8 AF Lens Review | John Sison

Sony Recognized as a Leader in Combating Climate Change and Water Resource Management by CDP Report
Zeiss workshop next week with Greg Waterman.
Teardown of a Salty Sony A7sII (Lensrentals).
Ledgo Versatile LED Mat 2 Bi color led flexible light (Personal View).
Sony RX10 IV and RX100V = Travel Camera Nirvana (TheDigitalDigest).
iOS Apps Can Secretly Shoot Photos if Given Camera Permissions (PetaPixel).

Ramesh: “I wanted to share a short film I shot mostly with RX10 Mk3, A7R2, RX10 IV and Samsung Galaxy S8. I would say Rx10iii was used for nearly 75% of the shots. It was a borrowed RX10 mk3 from a friend and I immediately saw the potential of the camera for movie making. I ordered mk4 right away and have since received RX10 IV after most of the shoot was done with mk3.But I used mk4 for some nature shots in the movie and I could immediately see the advancements in AF with the new model especially in AF-C. I will sure be using mk4 for future movies that I plan to make. Now to the movie.. this was shot with 5 friends and myself. All 5 of my friends acted in the movie and I was the solo crew member handling everything from story to screenplay to camera, editing and direction. The whole shoot was completed in a day and half and I used FCPX on a macbook pro to do the editing.
This movie is about 20 mins long in a foreign language but has English subtitles which you can turn on by clicking the CC option in youtube. Please watch it and let me know any feedback/comments or questions about RX10 cameras. https://youtu.be/Bo-Ne8GHflk

Eric: “I just released a short horror film for Halloween that we shot with a Sony a7Sii.  Thought your readers might get a kick out of it if you’d be willing to feature it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFENYeRXOE“
