Well done!  Your photos have been an inspiration to many of us.

I suspect we are coming from the same place.  Are you saying that Sunset and Landscape are the only Scene mode choices on the A55 that can produce a RAW?

Thanks , so I DID misread the manual!

Ralf What I meant was you couldn't (as I read the manual) shoot RAW in scene mode on the A55. Unless I misread the manual ;-)

3 and 4 are my favourites.

Like the blues - reflect the winter temperature!

Thanks!  I didn't terribly like the full zoom shots I got from the Beercan.  Here, scaled, is an example: Full zoom, DXO 11 Standard Landscape applied

Thanks!  I'm not sure whether afterglow is the same as Alpenglow (which I have been wanting to see in the Dolomites since the first time I went - seen lots of photos of pink mountains, but no pink ...

Thursday evening at Les Carroz in the Haute Savoie Used Scene mode (Sunset), and then retouched with the Windows Beta of Luminar from Macphun.  I used the AI enhancer. This is the first time I have ...

Nice to have somewhere to sit while thinking about those who made the sacrifice.

Favourite colours (just): Dramatic storm Favourite view: Town of Mammoth I've never been to Yellowstone, so I can't comment on the composition, really, other than to say which spoke to me.

To add to the enjoyment you get from your new A77ii, make sure you buy a copy of Gary Friedman's book - and also the (free) Sony 4D focus booklet.

I wonder whether circular sensors would provide: (1) better circular photographs than you could get on a rectangular sensor whose diagonal was the same as the sensor's diameter

Indeed, and some nice shots of them running around in the fountain at the Serravalle Scrivia outlet village, in clothes too skimpy to publish in a forum like this. There is a good place for my ...

Good suggestion to look at fill light/blacks level.  I will have another go - using a larger and better calibrated monitor - once the grandchildren go home (all too soon) to the UK.

For sure!  I was worried about getting the whole engines in focus, and about avoiding noise.  Will be more adventurous when we return.  Younger grandson wanted to know the next day "When are we ...

Mine is the alpha fitment, bought to put on my A55, and now used for landscape on the A77ii

Visited last Saturday with grandsons (7 and 4).  All these shots developed from ARW using AfterShotPro 3, and taken with my A77ii + Sony 16-50/2.8 or Minolta 70-210/4; post-processing was mainly ...

I am quite happy with the Minolta 24/2.8; on APS-C it gives you almost exactly the same field of view as a 35mm on full-frame.  Plus Minolta colours.  IIRC it was only about GBP 100 on e-Bay.
