Sony Sunday pictures of the week / 17 August 2014

[howardstanbury]

<p>I'm sorry to say that my most recent photos have been with cameras made by other manufacturers - an early Olympus 'compact' zoom film camera (the AZ-300) and an Instax 210 camera. No room here, then. But I did venture out with the NEX-7 once this week to visit the Barbara Kruger exhibition at Modern Art Oxford</p>

^ NEX-7, SEL 16mm f/2.8 and 0.75x adaptor (= 12mm)</p>

<p>Earlier this summer I was in Arles and visited one of the many exhibitions at the big photo show there, Les Rencontres d'Arles</p>

<p><a title="Les Rencontres / Muniz by Howard Stanbury, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3909/14694053597_336747e86a_c.jpg" alt="Les Rencontres / Muniz" width="537" height="800" /></a><br>

^ Vik Muniz at Église des Trinitaires (NEX-7 and SEL 18-55); the lady here was practising her operatic voice in this lovely setting.</p>

<p>And the word on the Arlesian street was that you had to be fairly well endowed with photographic gear to get the job done </p>

Me, I prefer the NEX-7 with 18-55 lens.</p>

<p>Please add your selection of pictures taken with Sony/Minolta gear, digital or film, to a maximum of 3 photos.</p>

<p>Howard, Those are excellent, sharp photos. That NEX -7 and 18-55 lens is great.</p>

[howardstanbury]

<p>Thanks, John: I agree! The lens (and the 16mm f/2.8 prime) is under-rated.</p>

<p>Playing with the Nex3 and kit lens. This is a geode which occurs around sedimentary rock, so there are a lot of them around here. This one has been polished up.</p><div></div>

I used the manual focus ring to zero in on this blossom. Worked well.<div></div>

[randy_cooprider1]

I removed the color and increased the contrast.<div></div>

[howardstanbury]

<p>I love the colours in those wedding pictures, James. And a nice flower shot, Randy - presumably your kit lens is the 18-55 too?</p>

[randy_cooprider1]

<p>Howard, yes it is and it must have been in government because it says "OSS" 8-)</p>
