Taken today with my A7iii, any criticism is valued. :)

Would be better Portrait - as the path is the line
The lamp post is off so needs tilted.
The light on the right side in the dark is distracting
The colour can be used more to your advantage to make a even a stronger impact. I would adjust the contrast, make the "shine" more prominent in the darkness.

I like the it but the vignetting is a bit much for my liking. I'd crop the sides a little (~10% on all sides). It might work well as a sqare crop too if you are into that kinda thing :)

I have cropped it equally on all sides, any better?

Nothing i can do about the lamp post, it's wonky and has been pulled out the ground :p
The light in the dark i can PS out. I did think about taking the shot in portrait, what would you do to the colour?
 
It's amazing what you can do when you know what all the buttons do in LR and PS :p I think it look me longer to take the shot than it did for you to edit it :D Thank you. :) That's a lot better than mine. :)

Some from the last few days, as always with the Sony 85mm f/1.8, it's having to be an allrounder as it's my only FF Sony lenso_O

Lovely sharp images, reminds me I need to use mine more. Love the shots on the beach

Thanks, it's quite a versatile lens I'm finding through necessity. Looking forward to getting a 70-200 and something wider eventually. Since I upgraded to the A7 III I've been conscious of not buying cheap glass for it so I want to wait until I can afford something decent.

Wow!

No2 for me but all are fantastic!
 
I thought someone on here will know the answer. I’ve been testing out the silent shutter for wildlife recently. I’ve read about bending of moving objects such as helicopter blades but thought it may be ok for wildlife. I’ve noticed some odd ‘brush stokes’ in the bokeh and I was wondering if it was a result of water movement and the silent shutter. The image below shows what I’m talking about at the top left.

It may just be water movement and reflected light.

You get worse bokeh when shooting in electronic shutter mode

I had seen a review saying that. I have wondered if I would ever notice it unless the images were side by side like in the reviews. It’s the brush like strokes that seem a little weird. I was turning it on and off throughout the session so I’m now unsure if this was taken with the silent shutter or not.

I think it's just caused by the movement of the water in the OOF area rather than shutter/silent shutter.

Love the wireless control via phone for light painting cars,only just started having a play at doing this but the A7III works a treat.

12 separate exposures all blended in photoshop and used an LED panel to light each one.

Superb Glen. This is something I’ve always wanted to learn how to do.

Cheers,

Simon.
 
At the moment my 2 lenses for the A73 are the Sony 85mm f1.8 and the Samyang 35mm f2.8. I'm off to Venice in March and am thinking about getting a zoom lens for versatility/walkabout. I'm debating between the Tamron 28-75 and the Sony 24-105. I'm not particularly influenced by the faster aperture on the Tamron and the additional range of the 24-105 appeals. However, I'm more concerned about the IQ/sharpness between the two lenses. Any thoughts please?

I can't compare both, as I have only the Tamron 28-75mm, but I am happy with my choice.
F2.8 is there when you need it.
No focus problems, including video.
Very good eye AF and relatively light choice.


I have a problem. I am on a location now and have shoots several days.
This morning as usual I changed the SD card with another one and the slot 1 stopped working proper anymore.
I am not able to secure/lock the SD card in slot 1(probably the spring?)
It works OK in slot 2, and I tried several different SD cards.
I wrote a message to the website I got the camera from, just I was wondering is anyone else had such issue?

I am having Sony cameras since 2015, Changed quite a few and never had such problem.

I haven't, but I remember a few months ago, there were a couple of people that had the same problem in the Sony A73 Facebook group that I was in. Their cards would no longer "seat" in the slot as if the spring was broken. I've since left that group. However, they ended up having to send the cameras back to Sony for repair. Sorry that I can't link to the posts or be more helpful than that. I can confirm that it has happened before though.

I'd imagine IQ would be very similar between them both - They both sit at a similar level so I'd expect them both to be good performers.

Just the difficult bit of sorting in what order you rate aperture/focal range/size/weight/price ;)

Here's the Facebook group and a video showing the issue with slot one, but slot 2 working OK. I'm sorry, but I can't get the video outside of Facebook. If you join the group then you can see the video and how the discussion goes, including at least one other person that has the same issue... I hope that you get sorted out soon …
