Re: across the bay in mono
I think you should crop off some of the bottom and make a Pano.

Re: Allatoona Dam, Sun Surveror and Super moon
Thanks all. The leveling drove me nuts. I think the lean is more a curve in the shoreline as I wound up using the flag pole and support under it as a guage to level with.

Allatoona Dam, Sun Surveror and Super moon
I use a cool app on my phone called Sun Surveyor. I know when and where in degrees the sun and moon will rise and set. Even 3d views of their paths. I used it here and had planned this shot two weeks in advance. Going to the dam and figuring when and where the moon would come up. At the time I didn'...

Zoo Atlanta and a77
A recent trip to Zoo Atlanta. Cloudy, warm and the animals really in form. The monkeys were all the way on the other side of their area and out of range. I randomly fired my flash to get their attention and they came over to pose. A77, Sigma 8-16mm, Tamron 18-270mm and 580 flash. I have totally unde...

Re: A77 versus Full frame
Well now that I have had seat time with both I think that both are the same in noise areas, a77 maybe a little better, but with that I think the a850 has a touch more color depth and seems less prone to flares. Yes Doc the iso 50 is sweet when I want to do long exposures with car trails ect. I enjoy...

My favorite place of Peace
You may see a couple of sensor dust specks but I have removed those since uploading to Flickr. You get the idea. The doves were nesting in the rocks and cooing ecohing all around. You can see one on the far right. It was a beautiful Friday the 13th. The Carl Zeiss lenses are amazing. http://farm8.st...

Portrait Prime
Sorry for all of the lens questions. I would also like to ask what whould be a nice portrait len option, prime? I have the 85mm 2.8, 50mm 1.7 and a Leica R 50mm I am awaited and adaptor for. Would the Leica R 90mm be a better choice than any of the Sony lenses? I guess I am asking which lens is the ...

Re: E mount prime lens quality.
Thanks Mark. I will always have a soft spot for Olympus and hope they can get back in the game. If they were to come out with a camera of equal IQ of some of the competitors I would pick one of their cameras up. Their 4/3rd HG and SHG is awesome lenses. If the OM-5 were to put up some nice numbers o...

Re: E mount prime lens quality.
Thanks, Mark. I suppose with an effective focal length of 45mm it's not that high a priority and the reviews have been good and the price is certainly attractive. OSS can be handy on this focal length when shooting at low shutter speeds. For what I use the NEX for, that doesn't happen too often and...

Re: A700 vs A900 vs A77 autofocus
Though I have never used the a700, I have the a850 and a77. The a77 focuses very quickly and accurately. The only bug I have with the a77 is when I am shooting my daughters soccer games an fire a burst of several shots it takes to long to process the files and I miss a shot. Also it is slow to proce...

Re: E mount prime lens quality.
Well coming from Olympus to Sony I can tell you first hand Olympus has a ton of m4/3rd lenses and not one stands in the grade of their HG glass much less the SHG glass. I never warmed up to the m4/3rd cameras due in part to this fact. The image quality of the NEX camera system smokes the Pens. Olymp...
