Me and my Brother went on a Caterham Drifting Experience yesterday, weather was appalling but it was great fun. Those cars are tiny, they had to take the seat out for me to fit in :ROFLMAO:

Unbeknown to me my brother took some shots with my camera, he wasn't aware I'd dropped the shutter speed to 1/80 and that it was BBF but thankfully with a bit of help from Topaz Sharpen I've got a couple of usable images of me in the car too :clap: I didn't actually take many photos as I was taking video instead, unfortunately it was so wondy you can't hear the car's engine over the wind noise :headbang:

Extra motion has been added to these in photoshop as even at 1/80 motion blur was minimal.

Nice I prefer the b+w personally not sure which program you used I was thinking Silver efex or similar for lots of contrast

What do you think of it?
I'm not a big fan of black and white TBH, so it's not something I do very often.

I just did it in Lightroom. with a couple of tweaks.:(
 
As it's quiet on here a couple of photos from me testing the cropping ability of the A7RV and the 70-350mm lens when a red kite flew by. Also a photo of my best friend Hugo. He is coming up to 14 years old in a month or so and is camera shy generally. I should have been better with more foreground and not clipping his paws.

7Artisan 40mm f2.5 review.


I bought my Sony 40mm f2.5 before the cheaper alternatives came out but I bought the TTA 40mm f2 for the wider aperture but sadly it had issues on my camera and went back. It's "issue" with the cheaper brands which worry me and also some Chinese makes don't seem to have got to grips very well with flare as it seems to be a common criticism in reviews.
 
The rumor site says there's a bunch of new cameras coming in the next few months.


Anyone waiting for anything?

I think the only thing that could interest me is an A7cIII with the do everything back screen and 1/8,000 shutter or auto switching to the electronic shutter above 1/4,000.

I just bought an A7cii, so this is the most likely announcement.

I’m not waiting or for anything, and I’m a bit ‘concerned’ that future bodies are going to have the grip of the A1II and A9III meaning it’s highly likely I’ll stick with the A1 for a very long time.

I hope they all do I love the A9III ergonomics.
