8 photos taken with Elfa, 1 with RX and 2 with Alpha.
Figures…
So the takeaway is that it is the photographer not the tool that matters, right?
I’d go so far as to say it’s only the photo the counts. Not the person, not the gear and not the technique…
I don’t believe in separating art from the artist. Whatever the medium, arts & humanities are a personal expression that doesn’t simply spontaneously appear from the ether. Often an artist’s backstory can enhance experiencing the work and brings additional insight and discovery.
Admin, is that Model/Ferret portrait — that’s with the Zeiss FE 35mm f2.8?
That photo by Saurav Anuraj would make Bresson proud. Lovely picture!
This week’s selection is very good!
Some great pictures. Thanks.
Good stuff all around.
Love the first B&W photo a lot!
I’m just now accepting the A7s as a ‘possible’ addition to my gear, but ONLY as a travel cam.
Dan – I was in the same boat as you – A900, CZ glass, etc, – I went ahead with the decision and got the A7s. Firstly, there is a lot to that camera – more than I know how to use at the moment, almost embarrassed to say, but no-kidding. Consider getting both adapters – LA-EA3 and 4 for your various uses – one where you need quick autofocus and one where you want nothing in-front of that awesome sensor other than the lens. Also, ensure you get a 64Gig memory card so that you can use all of the video functionality.
Just be aware, it is a tiny camera. Good from a travel photographer perspective – but still kinda’ awkward with one finger on the shutter and only the middle two fingers holding it. My pinky is not use to just hanging out like that. Its made for small hands I suppose.
However, because its so small – it makes it possible to use a Scottevest travel vest and a just a small bag for flights.
So, pull the trigger … er … on this camera decision, I mean. You’ll be glad you did.
Is there a way to submit a photo to SAR through email or this site, or do I have to have a Facebook account? I treasure my privacy and don’t find any “social network” secure enough to be trustable, actually I also don’t see any value in having an account with them.
Apparently not, which is a shame.
If your photo is on your computer, you can click on the photo icon (landscape looking thing’) within the reply window, or grab a photo from your desktop, etc. Otherwise, you can also post a photo link (e.g. smugmug or similar) within the text of a ‘reply’ and it shows up as a jpeg.
I got a website.

No not facebook … ever!
Heah Chris,
Very nice photos and great looking website! It pains me that I let go of my Leica glass when I see those taken with the 135 Elmar’.
Regards,
Dan
Yeah that Elmar from the 60s blows my mind. It’s going on my a7R when I get it in November. I have the FE 35mm 2.8 and I think I’ll pick up a Leica 90mm, I see Elmarits for $450+ these days.
Having used a 4×5 for years, adapters scare me not at all. It’s amusing how they frighten people.
All great images – always inspirational to see them.
Jason Bassett – Excellent composition – Did you light the backdrop, like Edward Steichen did in some of his portraits? Or was did you apply some vignetting in post processing? – Regardless – excellent composition – great expression on model’s face, too.
Sergey Kuznetsov – Great capture of the Antelope Canyon – Did you have to battle any crowds to get that excellent shot? – I have a potential trip near Antelope Canyon – If I go, I may have to try to add a few days and see if I can get there, your image is inspiring me.
Calvin Taylor Lee – Kudos to you – well deserved recognition by the magazine. Excellent capture of a tricky scene – Did you use a reverse grad. ND filter?
Maxime Siegler – Excellent shot of the Blue Angels – I understand it was fairly cloudy that day – I’m sure that’s probably one of the best shots of the day. Great post processing to bring out the blue sky.
