This weekly topic serves as a place for forum members to share recent work with our Sony Alpha full frame cameras. It's OK for a7x and a9 camera owners to dazzle us with images made with other cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with similar cameras to compare notes, chops, and sensibilities.

Using Threaded View helps to keep each person's contribution and responses linked in a tree-like structure so replies/discussions are easier to follow.

To begin:

1. Add your contribution for the week by responding to this, the first message in this topic.

2. Change the Subject of your message, then embed your image into the reply with whatever you’d like to say about it. (Embedding makes it easier to participate, easier than a link to an image located outside the forum - but links aren’t a great offense).

If you especially want C&C (criticism/critique) or technique feedback, say so. It’s assumed one does want such feedback, but direct requests may garner a more studied analysis/response. If you don't want such feedback, say so, and others will respect your wishes.

If you feel you've been ignored, select your post, reply to it with a brief note to the effect of "Can I get some feedback?". Not getting feedback on a post isn't uncommon, so don't feel offended - no one is charged to ensure all posts get attention (we're not organized enough for that). If you want particular feedback (composition, exposure choice, etc.), saying so can be helpful for the potential respondents as to what your needs may be.

It is courteous and advisable that, should you post images for feedback, you also make comment on at least one other contribution. Respectful acknowledgment of everyone is the goal, and it’s requested that all participants assume some responsibility to that end.

Sometimes people illustrate suggestions by re-editing images that you post here and reposting them in this thread. If you don't want that done, please say so. Otherwise, we'll all assume that's OK with you. Of course, it is never OK for anyone to take your images, edited or not, and repost them elsewhere.

Warm Regards,

Happy Xmas and happy new year to everyone!!

I had a few days visit, to these two cites. Amazing cites, history, and beautiful country!

Some pics I planned. Missed a few due to short of time. Can't do everything with family in tow!

I took 400 pics in total in 4 days and most are panorama with A7R4/A7R3, so most are perfect for wall size or poster size prints. Will print them in the new year!

We just returned from a family vacation to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I was fortunate to try out the a7R V. It's a beautiful camera but a lot to learn after years of DSLRs.

Puerto Rico was warm and beautiful, with friendly people and delicious food. Unfortunately, we saw very few tropical birds; some of the residents speculated that the invasive iguanas have eaten the eggs. Alas.

DV,

Where did you take those photos? They're great!

Steve
 
Very nice series! Spain is a beautiful country, very well worth a few visits. Hope you tried "yema de Avila" in Avila !

We had a heavy rain in southern California on New Years eve which cleared up in the morning on New Years day.

I brought the 100-400 GM with me because of the lower light and was happy I did. I seem to get sharper results and better captures of bird in flight with the 100-400 on the A1 than I do with the 200-600. It does focus faster and perhaps more accurately, but I also think its lighter weight makes it easier for me to hold it more stably.

Most of the bigger birds must have cleared out during the storm, but after we arrived we watched ducks, geese, and pelicans return to their favorite spots.

We found this roadrunner scurrying around near the edge of the parking lot.
