The Sony α7r (ILCE-7r) pictures thread

And this is the Youtube version for comparison. Youtune seems to do some edge-enhancement, but there's also significant macro-blocking, resulting in Gibb's effect ringing:

Thanks again Christine.
Yes, Bali is a very beautiful place.

With the Pentax K24/2.8

Certainly a very handy lens that is wide enough for many things and very portable since its not big at all.

PS - just joking - please post more photos - they are beautiful!

I really enjoy all of your wide angle shots. Some test shots of a sale item

Schneider tele-xenar 135mm f/4.0 in chrome

Cheers,

Thanks Hin,
Too bad you are selling the lens.
It caught my eye on your Flickr page.
A gorgeous looking lens.

Something else using the K24/2.8

pinholecam · 06-10-2014, 04:28 PM - **1 Like**

Some people shots around the Ubud area of Bali, to me, the Pentax A50/1.4 is certainly one of the best 50's out there and one of the reasons I want to use it on FF to maximize the isolation effect.

pinholecam · 06-10-2014, 10:09 PM - **1 Like**

Pentax K85/1.8 on FF.
Swirly bokeh that is otherwise not apparent on aps-c, since those swirls would not be part of the image circle.

Again, I got FF to use these lenses for the isolation effect they give for the same working distance.

those bali pics are awesome!

good surf in bali, wish i was there.

Christine Tham · 06-11-2014, 03:29 PM

More amazing pictures from pinholecam as usual - love them.

Makes me too ashamed to post my own photos LOL

Here's a photo of me instead, taken on the FE35. At the background is my alma mater (University of Sydney) - I can't believe it was exactly 30 years ago that I studied here.

Just visited at random - had a few hours spare, and we were in the neighbourhood. I did take a few pictures - will post them once I gather enough courage.

I often look at photos on the net and wish I was in some temperate climate place with the nice fall/spring colors and all that.
But I guess the grass always looks a bit more green on the other side.

I have to count myself lucky to be able to access diverse cultures and places within 1-4hrs flight from where I am.
Downside is the heat of course

Uni of Sydney has nice architecture.
I came from UNSW which had none.

Manyar beach again in Bali.
Could have been better if the tide was lower.
It was a 'splash' of a time when we were there; Literally.
Water was a bit too high and rode up the shallow rocks onto us.
Maybe I will revisit this place again on another trip.

LOL - my high school was quite close to UNSW and most of my friends went there.

I was granted a scholarship to study at Sydney Uni. In retrospect, it was probably the best thing that happened to me, in terms of my career.

Australia in the 80s had an elitist core, underneath that "classless" and "everyone's equal" image we like to believe in. If you came from the right background, went to the right schools and universities, then you probably will get a great job, perhaps working for Daddy's company or one of Daddy's friends.

Being at Sydney Uni exposed me to this inner circle. When I graduated, my first job was with a stockbroker that would only employ people from Sydney University. They never stated that publicly or officially, but it was quite clear from their recruiting practices.

I would like to think that elitism is no longer the force that it was in those days, but I just realised it is still there in full force - our current Prime Minister is very much a member of the inner circle. I know, we have some mutual friends and I have cycled with him on a few times and chatted with him.

But anyway, back to topic - I am now sufficiently brave enough to post an architecture photo from Sydney Uni:

So much great photography here! I've been enjoying the thread for a while now. I hope you don't mind if I join in?

This is with the A7r and a Helios 40... because a 1100g lens on a 465g camera is a good idea.

Helios 44 now. Why not put a $30 lens on a $2000 camera?

The dog park was all I've had time for so far (I just got the camera a few hours ago), but I'll try and take it on a bike ride this weekend. Early, early in the morning, before it hits 110°.

Christine, it's winter for you, isn't it? Lucky. And Pinholecam... just hot all the time. I'm sorry, man.

It doesn't seem to stop you from taking amazing pictures all the time, though.
