Hello to all the friends.
I am a landscape photographer, working mainly in Sardinia, Italy. From the beginning, I have always make use of Minolta gears and when I switched from film to digital I chose Sony A900. From march 2012 I'm shooting with the beautiful Sony NEX-7 and Sony E 18-55 OSS, an excellent camera to carry with me on rough trekkings.

Now I am happy to announce that I am a finalist in one of the most prestigious nature photography competitions in Europe, the ASFERICO PHOTO CONTEST 2013. Of my fifteen photographs I have sent, one has been selected and highlighted in the category Plants and Fungi. This photograph was taken with Sony NEX-7 and the plain Sony E 18-55 OSS, zoomed at 30mm about, ISO 400 and 1/100" at f/16, handheld under a light rain. The kit zoom isn't the best lens around, but stopped down f/8 to f/16 isn't bad at all. The picture is very crisp and sharp!

I'm proud!

Congratulations for making the final Antonio . I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Superb shot Antonio, and wish you win at the contest.

oh oh Antonio

beautiful shot, good luck with the contest,

and don't go away

Thank you very much, friends!

The Sony Nex-7 camera is very useful when traveling, makes excellent photographs and stunning video too. Since the NEX-7 is on my hands, my Sony HVR-Z5E camcorder stays at home, because is bigger and not so pratical to carry with me in a plane!
