Anyone have opinions on the Sony A7RII? I'm thinking I may finally pull the trigger soon.

Damn, that is a serious camera. Im guessing it is more than a hobby for you?

Eh. At this time it is purely a hobby. Worked in the business professionally from a production/post-production standpoint about 15 years ago right when digital photography was coming on line. I was scanning in negatives to be retouched via photoshop. Talk about some tedious ****! Anywho...If I got that camera or an equivalent I would turn part-time pro. Just trying to figure out how far I want to go with it.

I was stir crazy sitting in the house waiting for the snow to stop so I went out for an adventure.
The first ones are at the pond next to my place. The last one is at a nature preserve.

Dude, I am so regret I didn't bring my camera with me. It was so beautiful when snow stopped and sun came out! Nice shots :tiphat:

Dude! Damn nice shots! Love it! Serene and calm. Very cool. I wanna see moar!

I wish I was as good as my ex-gf. Holy crap. She only just recently took up wildlife as an afterthought.

My gear now consists of:
Sony A7II

I've only been shooting since November, so any advice to help me improve is greatly appreciated! :tup:

Tigger, that photo is amazing!!

Finally took my camera gear out for a little exercise, bought a decent bit of equipment while I was out of the country and finally got an excuse to use some of it.

You guys make me jealous lol, I might as well sell all my stuff and give up hahaha. I need to take some Photoshop courses or something, a lot of the really good shots I see have that little PS touch that makes it amazing.

Anyway, I ended up getting the D750 I wanted. I got a combo deal, the d750, a 24-120 f/4 lens, 2 32gb SD cards, a 3tb external HD, and a $100 gift card all for $2300 shipped. So far, I love this camera. Before, with the D 5100, I would have to do multiple shots to get the picture that I wanted, then spend a lot of time in Photoshop to get it to look the way I envisioned in my head. With this new camera I just take the picture and transfer it to my phone and post it. Most the time I don't even need Photoshop now, so that makes me very happy. Here's a couple I've taken lately.

That's awesome! Glad someone finally plunked down on the camera I wanted. Now that you have it I have to get something else. ****. Now I'm stuck forking out $5k for the A7R II and lenses.

Huck. I hate you. ;) lolz

Picked up a 7d and a 70-200 F4 recently. Still getting used to it, its been about 6 months since I've used a dslr sadly. Here are a few from the recent Pirelli World Challenge at COTA

So I picked up a used D3s because I shoot alot of live music and really needed the ISO performance and the used price was right on. Coming from a D5100 I absolutely love it!

Nikon D7200 with a basic 35mm f/1.8 lens

Think of it as me motivating you to greatness hahaha.

I mean, as long as you're buying camera stuffs, there's a few things I need...

Oh yes dear, what can I get you? Want that engagement ring I promised you so long ago? Go to hell! Camera first. ;) hehehe

Damn you guys. I really want a full frame now! :crying:

Any leads on a decent priced entry level Canon?

Loooking for anything specific? I used to shoot with a Rebel and never minded it.

I currently have a T3i so literally any full frame could be considered a step up. Just trying to find one that's affordable-ish. I see an open box 5D mark III body on Adorma and I'm so close to clicking the "buy now" button.

Tracie, you can get a used 6d for just under a grand I think, if you find the right deal
Do you own ef-s lenses?

Same. I'm on a t4i and never have any issues. My general rule is to step a few more feet back if I need something bigger. hahahahahhaa

Dooooo iiiiiiit!!!!

Probably not lol.

Edit: I do have the 24mm pancake and the stock lens that came with the t3i. I've got an EF nifty fifty too.

Tracie maybe check out a Canon forum for their fs threads, I've seen good deals on nikonites for Nikon stuffs.

Ok so thinking about the 6D now. What two lenses would you guys recommend? I love shooting landscapes and need something to capture the kiddo's cute moments.

http://i68.tinypic.com/20qfeig.jpg

Testing out my new filters, still perfecting the art of white balance

Very nice!

What settings did you use and what time of the day was this?

24-70mm for everyday use. 24-135mm if you're tight for money.

Tokina 11-16mm for landscapes.

This was shot at F8, 30 seconds with a 4stop neutral density and was around I would say 3pm if I remember correctly.

To elaborate:
So I was thinking of getting the body only and buying two lenses to start off. My thoughts are on the 16-35 f/4L and the 100mm macro f/2.8L. Figured I could get away with using the 100 at track events. What would you recommend? I really want to keep the IS on both if possible. I shoot a lot of family events in small spaces, events out at COTA, landscapes, and flowers. I also want to get back into astrophotography at some point so I'm not sure the f/4 will be enough. I used the 16-35 2.8L before and it was great but so heavy and no IS.

I'm not sure if it fits well with what you're wanting, but the 70-200 f4L is a fantastic lens and is one if their cheaper L lenses. Very sharp.

More from the track:
