@sonyalpha α7R IV | @zeisscameralenses Sonnar T* 55mm ƒ1.8 ZA
...
Just got my hands on the Sony α7R IV and was able to take it out for a test drive. Luckily, I got to meet up with one of my favorite people in the world, and we got to shoot something real quick. As advertised, the 61-mega pickles sensor captures some mind blowing details. What people should talk about more is the dynamic range this camera has; 15-stops. I shot this directly into the sun, and I was able pull out so much detail I thought I would have lost. And oh man, the Eye AF sticks on like my α9. Focus points take about 75% of the frame. Lens selection here is my oldest and still favorite FE-native glass the Zeiss 55 ƒ1.8. So happy it can still keep up with 61-mega pickles. Rounding off post-production was done with @captureonepro, with the recent version 12.22 update.
...
@Sony just keeps upping the game with their mirrorless technology. Highly recommend this body for portrait and landscape photogs, as well as the overzealous wedding photographer like myself. Can’t wait to shoot this with off camera flash, especially my Profoto strobes. I will have to test the video capabilities next, as well.

Stay Golden, pt. XXXVIII

"The mystical structure, with its perfect amalgam of delicacy and power, exerts an uncanny effect. Its efficiency cannot conceal the artistry. There is heart there, and soul. It is an object to be contemplated for hours." ~ the legendary Herb Caen

I’ve been so fortunate to call the San Francisco Bay Area home, for so long now. It’s amazing how a structure like a bridge 🌉 can be so iconic and represent a City. Is there a structure that stands out in the area you live in? Definitely would like to hear some recommendations on places and things to see in your neck of the woods.

I had an amazing time photographing Janice and Johnson’s nuptials at The Gardens at Heather Farms (@gardenshf). The venue has a beautiful rose grove where the wedding gazebo is located. The day was gorgeous and made for a picturesque sunset.

I got my old @leicacamerausa CL analog film rangefinder back from getting a CLA. I popped in a roll of @kodak Tri-X 400, paired the body with a Nikkor-S 50mm ƒ1.4 LTM and went for a quick photowalk in the City.
...
I love the convenience of mirrorless digital, but analog film just captures a bit more character of a scene. Tri-X has the right amount of contrast range and grain that I feel is pleasing to the eye. Ilford HP5 is right up there, too. I’m going to try out more analog films to compare. Maybe it’s the lens, too; I love that I can adapt all my manual focus lenses on my @sonyalpha mirrorless bodies, and I think I’ll be shooting more with them in the future.

I had so much fun photographing this maternity session with Morgan and family. I brought both digital and rolls of analog film to this shoot. I like to compare aesthetics and give the client the best of both worlds. These guys were wonderful, and I’m so happy I got to do this with them. Congratulations to you guys!

San Francisco has always had this mystique about it that, even after living here most of my life, I still find it so enchanting. There is always something to new to photograph here, because there’s always a new way to look at things. The City is a beautiful 49 square mile grimy island tucked away from the reality of the world.

It was awesome capturing the moon peeking through one of the Bay Bridge towers. What a gorgeous evening for a moonrise like this.
