It's IR of some sort but I don't know if it's a filter / lens / software....

Ay Ay Ron · Mar 20, 2014

I’ve just had a reply from Vincent Laforet on Twitter about this picture, it’s safe to say I’m chuffed with him being one of the top guys in Photography world wide!

Yeah he’s one of the big names, especially in commercial etc as I’m sure you know. He also did the commercial job for the 5D Mark II (my camera) when it was the first 1080p video DSLR

A couple from me.
Have been collecting some full frame classic minolta lenses and this is from the 135mm 2.8.

This is from the far more modern RX10

With these full frame minolta lenses, and you being a bit of a Sony fan I’m surprised you haven’t got an A7/A7R yet?

Well as you know glass first ;-) I grew up with Minolta and I'm probably foremost a minolta fan, but sony is their digital modern day equivalent. I would absolutely consider an a7 or an a99 when the time is right!

Took this tonight while on my way back from work.

I've had some issues with the sigma 17-35 2.8 today. Shooting in aperture priority, of I shoot at 2.8 it's fine, the highlights aren't blown and the sharpness is OK. If I go up to f8 then the highlights are blown out massively and the darks are very light. Surely this shouldn't be the case? The metering is evaluative like I usually have it on.

Quick shot with the Sigma 105

Matt_90 · Mar 28, 2014

What sigma lens is that shot with?

Scrooge · Mar 28, 2014

Looks an awesome lens for under £400!

Ay Ay Ron · Mar 28, 2014

Sigma 105 1:2.8 DG Macro.
I might get some extension tubes for it too this year.

Brazo · Mar 28, 2014

I bought the older sigma 105 for a bargain £110 and then sold it on eBay for £220

Ay Ay Ron · Mar 28, 2014

Did you never use it? I remember you saying you had one.

Brazo · Mar 28, 2014

Not in anger mate, no.

JJ! · Mar 29, 2014

Ay Ay Ron · Mar 30, 2014

Another one with the 105, this time with a 2 times converter. I really need a mono pod or something until I get a decent macro setup just to slow down the camera shake! And the wind doesn't help either!
