Icicles, testing out the new Lens
Icicles, testing out the new lens
As you may have read on my Market Friday post yesterday I got a new lens this week and got to try it out today.
Now I am not totally happy with the shots I got with it today, and debated with myself about sharing them, but in the end I know some are expecting to see some shots with it so here goes.
Sony A7iii 90mm F10 1/100 Sec ISO 100

This is perhaps my favorite shot of the group with the blue sky in the background, there is actually some trees in the background but with the tight focus on this lens with these settings and the icicle being so close to me they are mostly blurred out, and I almost but not quite caught the drop falling
Now I was going to stay in this position and try to catch a drop falling but, when icicles are dripping down on the ground, and the ground is pretty cool, the drops when they land on the ground turn to ice pretty quickly, which I discovered when I moved my foot a little and it slid across the ice, not bad and I didn't fall, but I thought it made good sense to try from another angle
Sony A7iii 90mm F4,5 1/1000 Sec ISO 100

In this position the background was a house, and it still was a bit slippery underfoot but I tried a few more shots with different settings, in the hope to get shots I liked and catch a drop as it was falling, which I missed again in this shot, I was using continuos shooting, but the drop fell right out of shot by the next shot.

Again I missed the drop but I like how with this shot and edit the icicle kind sof looks like molten silver to me

And finally, I did get a shot where I got the falling drop in the photo all be it out of focus,
These are all actually off the gutter of our condo, I did walk around our complex a little and get some more shots but those will be for another post, Even though I am not totally happy with these shots I am happy with this lens and did walk around the complex getting some more shots and playing with it, I do love the lens and will be sharing more macro shots in future posts now and again
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Thanks :) I wish I could have got more shots with the sky as a background for the blues, but it was just to slipery in the spot to get that angle
:D your most welcome hun :D Yeah i know what your talking about, so we need to invent one of them; -move a object to a backdrop WE would like; kind of a gadget ;) :D
I know I could have done that in photoshop, But I try to leave backgrounds as they were when I shot, but with these there was really no reason not to LOL
Hi sweety🐉🐲💗 Yes we do have photoshop buuuuut you know me, im not a fan ;) LOL
I find backdrops to be the hardest while grabbing my pix...
I agree, there was noo reson to edit this set of yours :) em are sooo cool🐉🐲💗
Hi :)
Yes I do use photoshop a lot, but I very rarely if ever change the backgrounds or edit things out of shots as I like to share what I actually see not what I wish I had seen :)
I second that, its a honest picture if you dont dabble with editing away ;)
I do neeeed to go to a ps editing class, i wounder what i would have gotten IF i hade edited? ...
I learnt my editing from reading online never made time to do a class, I probably should I am sure there is so much more I could do than the small amount I know so far LOL
This lens was worth waiting for, @tattoodjay, great photos.
I also like the first picture best, because you can see it's an icicle, but the others are extraordinarily beautiful, like liquid metal. Congratulations to this lens, which would be worthless without the good photographer you are 📷👍😊
Ohh yes I do believe it was worth the wait, I love it and looking forward to learning how to get the best out of it :)
I was wondering if it was just my warped mind seeing the liquid metal and am glad you and others also saw that
Yes, your mind is alright and your eyes are OK ;)
Hope to see more macros, maybe some spring flowers soon...
Well it is debatable if my mind is right but thanks and yes I am so looking forward to spring and the new lens
I just wanted to be nice in public LOL
LOl I can understand that :)
