And for the second brand new content feature for today, I give you the first of my 4K Sunset videos.... Filmed on May 16, 2021, at the Brohard Beach and Paw Park (Sarasota County's primary dog-friendly beach) in Venice, Florida, it was a very windy day, but a beautiful sunset! For this video I used...

And it looks to be something of a "Baby-A9", with the same 24 megapixel resolution, a backside illuminated sensor for improved light-gathering and higher ISO range, 10 frames per second continuous shooting, most all of the body improvements of the A9 and A7 Mk.

At this point in my photography-as-a-hobby I believe I have amassed a decent collection of lenses for my Sony A6000 (and A3000) mirrorless interchangeable lens camera(s), including a workable range of native E-mount lenses. So, I'd like to give my thoughts on my favorite lenses… so... Continue Reading →
I picked up the new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens for Sony E-mount about a month ago (indeed, it was a part of the impetus to start this blog), and have been generally pleased with it for my needs and usage. I have done some general testing with an eye toward writing a... Continue Reading →
