Long Exposure : Water and Rocks Part I

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  !  Water and rocks are my favorite combination for shooting long exposure photos. The stillness of the rocks add the solidity and the motion of the water adds the fluidity. The blurred motion of the water just soothes me so much! I have a bunch of ND filters from 1 stop to all the way 10 stops that I use for shooting these pictures! Enjoy! 

Travel Journal : Zion and Bryce

Image
Check me out on social media  Instagram  and  Facebook  ! I have been to Zion and Bryce national parks twice so far. They are absolutely gorgeous and it's difficult to shoot a bad pictures there! They are massive and each park needs a few days to truly explore it. Zion has other surrounding areas like Wire Pass and Toadstools that are also very picturesque.

New to Sony System

I was completely oblivious to the advancement in digital photography as I concentrate mainly the results than the tools. I shoot medium and large format films and till recently shot with Olympus 4/3 systems in the digital world. I heard about the world of mirror less cameras and how they make using legacy lenses on digital cameras an easy process. I decided to check out the Sony A7 series and bought a used Sony A7RII. I'm super impressed by this system. It was very intuitive to learn and there are plenty of custom button that I can customize, so I didn't have to go digging around the menus. It has very good video feature and I think it'll be a new skill for me to learn! I don't have any "digital" lenses yet and decided to adapt Konica Hexanon 57mm f/1.2(pictured below) and a Pentacon six 135mm f/2.8 (M42 screw mount). Both the lenses had ready made adapters available to the Sony system and were very affordable. There focus peaking and focus magnifica
