samira meets the sony a7r

the portrait session with samira was going to be a film-only session, and I indeed shot it on medium format film, which I much prefer to any digital camera. I did, however, carry the sony a7r with me, so I got some test shots in the beginning and some extra shots after I ran out of film. this camera is extremely potent, easily paired to any kind of lens, and takes virtually no space in your camera bag.
the first five images were shot with the native carl zeiss fe 35mm/f2.8 lens. the rest of the images were shot with a 40-year-old minolta md 50mm/f1.4 lens (manual focusing, focus peaking, etc). the post-process included brightening, contrast, etc. - I did not change the colours, apply any noise reduction or sharpening. I've left the exif data on the photos.

winter solstice

now is the solstice of the year, winter is the glad song that you hear.

a trip to trikala korinthias, during the winter solstice weekend. all images shot with a v1.01 sony a7r camera, and the carl zeiss fe 35mm/f2.8. all images shot at ISO 200 (except for the fire, which was shot at ISO 500). aperture-priority mode and AWB were used during shooting. I did not alter the exposure or the white balance during post-processing.

for those interested in full-size samples, I have uploaded two RAW files. they will be online for a week.
