Beercan At the Beach

Unread post by KevinBarrett »

I recently got myself an A77 and took it to Ruby Beach in Washington State's Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula. The A77 definitely scrutinized the resolving power of my Minolta 70-210/4 more than the A700 ever did, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. These are just a selection of the shots I've uploaded so far, but you can follow any of them to my Flickr page to see more. Your feedback is welcome!

2 and 3 for me. In the second I like the silhouetted figures and the colours over the ocean. In the third there is the spectacular lighting and colours. Nice series. Like Frank, I will get the beercan out today after seeing those :) .
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

1 and 2 for me!

2 for the composition, the first for the color and contrast in the sea. Nice!

Nice, Kevin.

Neat take on wide-angle views. Pretty exceptional tides there and some outstanding rocks that make the scenery more compelling and intimidating for anyone who has plans for an ocean outing.

Thanks for sharing,

Beer can never ceases to amaze me. The second one is my favorite.

You make a good point--I'll have to be better equipped the next time I go. 8)

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Thanks again guys. That one was shot with the 16-50/2.8 SSM. The silent internal focusing makes a stealthy combo with the A77's electronic shutter, despite the size of the whole kit, for candid shots of strangers. Here are a few more with it:
