Here is another handheld slow shutter attempt of the same waterfalls but this time at an even slower shutter speed of 0.3 sec. I was pretty much relying on the Sony Steadyshot IBIS and the silent electronic shutter. During post processing, I applied Topaz AI Sharpen as well. So my conclusion is that you could probably get away without the need of a tripod for silky waterfalls shots.
Handheld shot of my son Zaid. It was a cold winter night and we had a temporary electricity breakdown. He is holding a lamp in his hand. There was a lamp on his back as well. I think the light came out well.
A bundle of thanks for 10,000+ views.
Big waves half an hour before sunset, The causeway was wet from spray. Wondering if any waves went over it at high tide.
Vintage treatment to a scene steeped in history, obvious giveaway being the “STOP” sign.
Handheld, wide opened with FE 55mm f1.8 ZA.
What’s next after the Sony alpha 1 since it appears that Sony has a few more cameras (FF or otherwise) to announce over the next 2 months?
In terms of cameras;
1) A74 with a rumored 30-32mp sensor. We should see faster sensor readout and with the new Bionz XR processor, better AF and fps. Hopefully Nikon will use this sensor for their next Z6iii.
2) A7R5 is not due till the end of 2021. Highly likely the same 61mp sensor will be retained. The A1 or α1 has only 9% more linear resolution than the A7R3 and the A7R4 in turn has only 10% more linear resolution than the A1. Perhaps Sony will use a higher mp sensor with the new more capable Bionz XR processor since Canon has been rumored to be working on a very high resolution (90mp?) mirrorless body. 61mp to 102mp is just around 30% more linear resolution, roughly similar to going from 24mp to 42mp. Sony will need better IBIS but there’s no improvement in IBIS with the latest A1. Meanwhile Nikon is rumored to be using a 61mp sensor on their next pro specced Z8 camera, the Z6 and Z7 series are not considered pro-spec by Nikon.
3) If A7R5 does get a significant boost in resolution, Sony might finally do a high end sports oriented APS-C body with 30+mp? 90mp FF sensor translates to a 39mp APS-C sensor. Canon’s existing APS-C (1.6 crop) EOS M6 is already at 32.5mp.
4) Curved sensor RX1. The RX1Rii successor is 1 year behind schedule and Sony has finally just released the FE 35mm f1.4 GM, a lens that many speculated was held back to protect sales of the RX1 series in the past. A curved sensor RX1 camera is possible although there is no economies of scale for such a sensor which is most suited for fixed lens cameras currently. There are only that many fixed lens large sensor compacts. Perhaps Ricoh GR (Leica Q?) and Fuji X100 will get a curved sensor in their next iteration? Would be great if Ricoh can leverage on a curve sensor for a more compact lens and do away with their failure prone retractable lens barrel in the Ricoh GR series.
5) Canon EOS-R1 flagship!
In terms of lenses;
1) The Voigtlander 35mm f2.0 APO Lanthar is really happening! I talked about Voigtlander making APO Lanthars here previously; flic.kr/p/2cqYQa4 The 50mm f2.0 APO is already out and now the 35mm, next 28mm perhaps?
2) The Canon RF roadmap has more unique lenses to be released;
a) AF tilt-shift TSR 14mm f4L & TSR 24mm f3.5L (all
tilt-shift lenses thus far are manual focus only).
b) RF 10-24mm f4L, widest hyper-wide zoom.
c) RF 135mm f1.4L will be huge but should be way
smaller than a 200mm f2.0.
d) RF 1,200mm f8L
A handheld shot taken using my waterproof Panasonic point-and-shoot camera. I am so impressed with the "handheld night exposure" preset of this camera. What it does is it takes several shots and combine them into one image...brilliant! :)
SOOC, just added frames and watermark.
Thanks for your visit, comments, and faves!
Have a great day my friends! :)

Random shots on Monday. Trying to keep my mind off the world issues and see the beauty of this planet.
