A couple of weeks ago, I got a chance to use the Sony a7III, which was announced last month and is shipping next week. I was able to shoot an entire wedding with it along with my existing Sony a9. Here was my setup: For the purpose of reviewing the a7III, I am only featuring … Continue reading Hands-on With the Sony a7III and a9 at a Wedding
A few weeks ago, I was able to take the recently released Sony a6300 for a test drive, all thanks to my friends at Sony and Horn Photo. I shoot quite a lot with my Sony a6000, but this new iteration of the small wonder had a couple of very interesting features that I wanted to test … Continue reading Slow-motion video with the Sony a6300 & 85mm G-Master lens
I stopped by my local camera store, Horn Photo, to pick up some film (yeah, the stuff that looks like tape in a little metal canister and acts sort of like a CF card) and they happened to have one copy of the newly released Sony 85mm f/1.4 G-Master lens. They were kind enough to let me try it … Continue reading Sony 85mm f/1.4 G-Master: A First Look
Sony was busy cranking out new cameras last year, updating all their a7 series mirrorless cameras. I currently own the a7II as my main camera, and I’ve had the privilege of reviewing the a7RII when it was released. Both are excellent cameras. The only one I haven’t had a chance to review was the a7SII. Well, thanks … Continue reading Family Portraits in Yosemite with the Sony a7SII
My experience with the Sony a7II and the a6000 has been quite pleasant so far. I’ve had a chance to push them to their limits on many portrait sessions and weddings and they’ve both found a place in my lineup. But, the Sony a7RII is undeniably the hottest ticket in town right now. I’ve had … Continue reading Family Portraits With The Sony a7RII
For over a year now, I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the Sony a6000. Honestly, when it was released on February 2014, I never gave the camera a second thought. It was a sub-one-thousand-dollar camera and it was marketed toward enthusiast photographers and beginners. At $800 during its release, the a6000 sold like hotcakes. … Continue reading A Beach Trip With The Sony a6000
Things were going at a fast pace. It was the middle of a busy summer wedding season, and the last weekend that I had off was six Saturdays ago. I was also in the midst of pulling off my switch to an all-mirrorless setup for my wedding and portraiture work. The 55mm f/1.8 that I … Continue reading Sony FE 28mm f/2: A Closer Look
After a crazy day of putting together a last minute photo shoot to test out the newly released Sony a7RII last week, I got to spend a morning with my wife and kids. We met up with family friends at a nearby park so the kids can let some wiggles out. Since I still had the camera that my friends … Continue reading Kids At The Park: A Sony a7RII Video
It’s been a whirlwind of a day. I put together a last minute shoot yesterday because my good friends at Horn Photo and Sony were generous enough to let me play with the brand new a7RII. This camera has the makeup of being a game-changer, and I wanted to see if everything on paper translates well in … Continue reading Sony a7RII: A First Look
In the past couple of years, I have slowly sold off my Canon gear and replaced it with a Sony mirrorless system. I mainly shoot weddings and portraits as a profession, and my current go-to camera for this type of work is the Sony a7II, for which I will put together a proper review in … Continue reading Sony RX1 Review: A Two Year Retrospective
