With a new Nikon 7500 with a Tamron 18-400 lens and a Tamron 70-300 with macro mode I wanted to see what they could do. I also picked up recently a ring flash.
The first 2 images are individual shots, cropped. The next 4 are the same shot, firstly the full image, then 3 crop versions. I wanted to compare the different options
August / September saw us heading to the UK, first stop a quick trip into London, Burlington Arcade and Leadenhall Market, both historic shopping locations, one in Mayfair and the other in the City of London.
These were taken with a Canon EOS M6 with a Canon EOS 17-85 IS Lens.
I’ve been taking a lot of photos with my phone, over the last 3 years it has been a Google Pixel, a Google Pixel 2 XL and just recently a Google Pixel 3 XL. I’ve been very happy with the quality of these cameras, and the Google software is pretty good as well. I also like the way Google Photos will create panaramas automatically and try to provide stylistic filters sometimes.
I recently bought a Canon EOS M6, a mirrorless camera with interchangable lenses, and an adapter to allow Canon DSLR lenses to attach to it. I like the option to play with different lens types and more manual settings.
I also have a Nikon P900 which has a huge zoom capability, which is very useful in some situations.
One of the things that the Pixel phones combined with Google Photos can do is convert burst mode photos into gifs.
I’ve let this blog stagnate somewhat. My plan is to rectify that over the next few weeks. I have photos from various trips that I want to post here. I also need to start posting more regularly.
Stay tuned.
March 1st – 3rd 2019 saw the return of the Avalon Airshow. I had planned on visiting on the Friday afternoon and take a lot of photos but ended up becoming one of the vounteers helping to run the event. In the end I wasn’t able to take too many photos and could only use my Google Pixel 2 XL, which didn’t do too bad a job.
Took another trip to Hobart, and another visit to the Tasmanian Transport Museum in Glenorchy (website).
This trip they had a steam train running. So I took some photos. Then Google Photos decided that after I had uploaded these photos that it wanted to automatically enhance one of them. I think it looks quite good.
