Very, very angry (A99)

Nordstjernen · Jun 5, 2013

Today I had some visitors outside my house. One of them acted like mad and screamed and shouted all the time, attacking other visitors! One of those 'Angry Birds', I supppose.

Sony A99 and G 70-400 mm at 180 mm. 1/1500 sec at f:8. Cropped a bit:

Not quite friendly ...

Great photo

Almost every day now I'm amazed with the beauty of the pictures made with the A99.

Very beautiful picture, but you knew that already, ;-)

Great shot! Thanks for sharing.

Nice action shot. The 70-400mm G1 still going strong

I will keep my first generation 70-400 mm lens, at least until the new 400 mm f:4 is available - depends on price, sharpness and bokeh of this rumored telephoto prime.

Actually, I don't hardly use the ISO setting. My cameras are "fixed" at ISO 200. I just expose correct when the situation and subject allows this. If some underexposure is needed, i.e. to ensure very fast shutter speed, I brighten the RAW files within Lightroom. This gives the same amount of noise as if using higher ISO settings, but also makes you keep a wider highlight latitude. Great for sunlit white seagulls. When bumping up the ISO, you also reduce the highlight dynamic.

With the beautiful and extremely helpful WYSIWYG approach of EVF cameras I find this strategy very smooth and efficient, with excellent visual control also when underexposing the scene a stop or three. I always use manual exposure, and never Auto ISO.

Thanks, useful advice. I'm also manual everything (except focus)

Brilliant shot and some interesting advice as well. Thanks for posting.

Sorry, it's not very sharp. But, at the time I was just getting used to the A99.

Best,

Christopher
