    Sury,My comment about shooting the shot just a little differently referred to the first shot in the thread. As for lighting, I usually eliminate highlights, and then lighten shadows and then bump exposure to get back any sky light. You use Lightroom correct?Statistics: Posted by jbtaylor — Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:21 pm

    Thank you JT. I am slow and a photographer and she is a fast walker. I was mentally replaying the location and could not see how I could get to what you are suggesting from where I was.Perhaps this would do the trick?Lonely fishermanStatistics: Posted by sury — Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:56 am

Sony’s Master plan – new 85, 24-70, 70-200 and more

By David Kilpatrick, on February 4th, 2016

On Tuesday, February 2nd 2016, Sony UK held a press event to which I was invited. Well, I’m in a different country and about 400 miles from their Weybridge offices, so as usual my trusted English office editor at large (and son) Richard made the still substantial journey from Leicester. The result was a . . . → Read More: Sony’s Master plan – new 85, 24-70, 70-200 and more

Sony DT 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM

By David Kilpatrick, on February 14th, 2012

I’m about to offend myself. I own this lens, and I know how upset owners of brand new lenses get when someone says it’s not perfect. Well, the 16-50mm SSM is far from perfect and if you know how to check out lenses, you’ll agree should you be lucky enough to own one. It’s a . . . → Read More: Sony DT 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM

The 70-300mm G SSM sized up

By David Kilpatrick, on May 27th, 2008

Today I took delivery of a Sony 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G SSM lens. There is no doubt this is the best built Sony SAL lens I’ve handled (the CZ 135mm 1.8, 85mm f1.4 are a class above again). It weighs over 800g with its lens-hood, which is one of the most efficient deep tele hoods I’ve . . . → Read More: The 70-300mm G SSM sized up
