Share your October Photos (2023)
Quote from denniscrommett on October 23, 2023, 1:45 amThis morning I went to Chesterfield Gorge in nearby Chesterfield, MA. A huge tree had fallen and been carried to one of my usual spots to hang out for a bit (and take photos, including the third photo, which I've taken many times over the past couple years, in different seasons and with different cameras; any of you do that?). Anyway, the tree just about blocked access to the rock it landed on, but not all the way, and it had some cool textures to check out. (Fuji X-T2, Fuji 27mm f2.8 WR)
Love this! It reminds me of the volanic flows you see in the Northern MN on the shores of Lake Superior!

The Sony a390, i managed to pic up with the kit lens with 1,100 shots for about $125.
First the a390 photos

Man, you have such a creative way of capturing kid candids. I really like it. Inspiring me to go and try a few shots of my own (and see if the kids stand still for even a second... xD)
Thank you, i really appreciate that. Its taken alot of practice over the years and some influence...i usually try telling a story with my photographs (i know it sounds weird but thats from jared polin) of the kids, i try capturing the emotion and feeling (sort of the Adolfo Rozenfeld style if you know who that is)....i also forgot to post these:

Your work with the Minolta AF system is so inspiring! I love my 7D!
I've been shooting alot of Medium Format Film!

A project in the works for a while, I've finally gotten a Leica Leitz Colorplan 90mm F2.5 projector lens adapted into an M52-42 18-36mm focusing Helicoid housing. I still need to shave a few mm off the bottom of the lens to achieve infinity. Here's some shots on the K1! It's very dreamy and a tad soft.

Quick little shoot with the Sony A380. It feels like I'm using a 35mm. The shutter butter placement is terrible.

Beautiful colours!
I see you have a new full suspension Specialized. Very nice 😉 I did like the colour of your old Trek though! It was a very photogenic bike!

I am on the hunt for that exact camera. I have old Minolta glass. I also just bought a Sony A-mount 16-105mm at a thrift store for $10 so now I need something I can use it on!
The a390 is a sweet spot due to the high-ish resolution CCD sensor and the fact that it uses an SD card unlike most older Sony DSLRs.
Look forward to seeing more of what you do with it.

I can't say for certain what happened, but I tried to use a Sandisk 170 128gb card the other day and my a380 was not having it. Could just be an issue on my end, but my recently acquired Finepix has an issue with CF cards where it can't take them if they're over MB in size. I haven't heard about Sony cameras having this sort of problem, but I haven't done any research into it. Have you heard about any issues like that with SD cards and old Sony cameras?

That shutter button placements screams finger cramping. Like how does past multiple levels of QC and engineering, was everyone afraid to say maybe this a terrible ergonomically designed body. 😂
Some more K1 and Leica Leitz Colorplan 90mm F2.5 shots this afternoon.

Trying to get my footing back with full frame after a year exclusively shooting APSC.
I got this camera from KEH's "bargain" bin for about $390. The closest to ccd full frame ill ever be able to afford lol...its still got that old color science since its sonys first full frame sensor. So here we go, fully invested in A-Mount with the Sony a850....alot of people complain about the high iso performance but i dont think its really justified since its a sensor from 2008 and its pretty good up to 3200 and maxes out at 6400....and the fact that its 25mp from a 2008 camera is pretty cool

Congrats! Those FF Sony DSLRs are on my list to try. I wanted to get to it before the end of the year, but things slowed down. I think those are super cool, and to use those A mount lenses on digital FF is a sweet thing!
