Is there any rumors of a IV? It’s been mentioned a few times but I thought the III was still pretty new

You'll probably have a fair bit of warning, the A7R IV should be out before the A7 IV.

The technology is pretty sound at this point though, I'm hoping they focus on usability.

Nice idea I like that. The couple look a little lost there though I think it’s because of the dark background behind them. If you had of moved them to the left so that the yellow painted part of the brick wall was behind them they would have stood out more. Not sure if it would have improved it or not but that’s what I would have done. Or maybe had them take a few steps forward and crouched down and shot up so they where larger in the frame. That may not have been the nicest perspective though.

They are lost in the graphic. Especially her hair is covering the entirety of her face.

She's looking at him hence not seeing her face. Like I say I've about 10 variants from this. I like this one, looks grand on a big screen.

I know you can’t see her face, because she is looking at him...that is self evident. It is also self evident that all that brown and dark colour is lost in the graphic.

I’m sure you have more but I’m not commenting on the others, I haven’t see the others, I’m commenting on the one I can see here and the one here is that they are lost in the graphic.

And like I say it looks fine in the version I have on my screen in front of me lol

Potatoe vision TP forum ain't the best place to view a photo ha. Also I don't recall asking for CC tbh.

Same exposure. Identical settings. The mimicking the graffiti was a p*** take which got a laugh out of them and ain't something I'd normally do as it's corny as hell, it's pretty evident that there is 2 people in the middle of the pathway there.

These are pre wedding shoots to build rappor with my customers and give them some nice images, not competition entries. I've also said before that posting photos to here takes a massive dump on the image for whatever reason.

Always good to get them laughing with the first few. We have a couple of things we do now at the start of every session just to get them warmed up :)

But I can only comment what I can see, I can’t comment what I can’t see.

I take your word that it looks fine, but that’s all I can do when I can’t see it myself.

I’m not critiquing your photo, I’m telling you that they are lost in the colours, so that you are aware. Don’t get so defensive, you should be aware of these things IMO, it’s only good from your point of view that you know.

Ok Raymond. Here's a super crop of that image. Are they really lost in the colours!? Is it not pretty obvious whats going on in the photo ?

Brown on brown = lost in the colours.

They are both wearing black adds to it even more.

And they both have dark hairs.

He is wearing black trousers.

It’s like dark shades stacking on dark shades on top of more dark shades.

Am I lying?

Is it just me are you always involved in arguments on this?

I’m not arguing with you, I’m just stating what I can see. If you think it looks better than that’s fine. I’m sorry trying to tell you something I thought you should be aware of, didn’t know you will get so defensive!

Jesus H Christ.

Sometimes I'd like to take an axe to my printer, Epson R2880.

Keep thinking I'll treat myself to a new A3. What are you lot using?
 
For pictures?

Laser printer, that takes me back. When I used to fix stuff I fixed about a gazillion laser printers, it was usually paper handling and fixer unit faults. I remember one day I think I got about 18 fault reports on them, all in the same place. What Joy.

What sort of results do you get?
