A walk in the Park

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

A walk in the Park

Postby aim54x on Sat Mar 28, 2015 10:13 pm

Just sharing some photos I took with the Sony A7 as I strolled through Hyde Park tonight.

War Memorial - SEL2470Z
Image

Across the water - SEL2470Z, slight crop
Image

The Fountain - SEL2470Z
Image

Vista - CV12/5.6 - I am tempted to crop the top and bottom on this to form a pano...thoughts?

Wow, such lovely sharp/ crisp images. I have to say the Sony can take some pretty spectacular shots. #2 is my favourite of the images you've shared, took me a while to actually scroll down further.
In regards to the last image, I agree a crop would make it look a bit better in regards to the composition. Would love to see it when you've completed the crop. So don't forget to share it.

Well done!!

I like them all! No cropping is needed.

Good images and the technical quality is evident. #3 looks like Paris.

Excellent stuff. Hyde Park? Been a long time since I was there. Either of them. :(

On the last one, I'd crop from the bottom, but not from the top.

Thank you everyone! I am still not undecided about the crop on the last image. I will have a play and see what happens, if I find an option that I am happy with I will post it up.

I have to admit that there have not been many instances where I have been let down by the Sony, but when it does hit it's limits it is frustrating (silly Sony RAW limitations). Now that I have made my peace with the Sony RAW file the relationship has been much more enjoyable, especially now that I have a few M-mout primes to keep it all small and compact.

I should have an opportunity to visit the other Hyde Park in June.
