Get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and assignments at end of chapter to practice what you’ve just learned. While the camera manual explains what the camera can do, it doesn’t show how to use the camera to create great images! Starting with the Top Ten things users need to know about the cameras, author Brian Smith, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery, carefully guides you through the operating features of Sony a7, a7R, a7S, a7II and a7RII and how to use them. Distinguished by a uniquely fast and versatile design, the Canon EF-mount Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM is an Art-series zoom, covering wide-angle to normal focal lengths. It’s your guide to all of the Sony a7-Series cameras including the new a7RII. According to Sigma, despite offering the highest image quality in its class, the High Speed Zoom Line has a compact construction.įor more tips and tricks about getting the most out of your Sony a7 series camera, check out my new book “˜Sony a7-Series: From Snapshots to Great Shots’. High Speed Super 35 Zoom Line offers the constant aperture of T2 throughout the zoom range, and the optical performance is ready for high-resolution shooting such as 6K – 8K. Sigma 18-35mm T2.0 and Sigma 50-100mm T2.0 Super 35/APS-C lenses are priced at $3999 and scheduled to begin April 26, 2017. In addition, the wonderfully soft bokeh opens up completely new dimensions in isolating persons from the background.The first two Sigma E-Mount Cine Lenses are available for Pre-order Now!. Your results will be much more satisfying and your scrap will be reduced to a minimum. The picture happens, you focus, and the lens focuses where it should focus. In combination with the lens, the strength of the focus system clearly comes into effect here because together, they manage to capture this very fraction of a second. That’s why I chose the combination of Sony a7 III and SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art. Emotions are spontaneous and within fractions of a second, the moment, this one moment that, when looking at the picture, makes tears spring to your eyes … this moment is gone if your equipment isn’t working perfectly and isn’t very well tuned. A gust of wind then made sure that the hair in Sophie’s face blew and I shot the photo…īeing a passionate portrait photographer, I want to capture emotions. The weather was excellent (low sun) and I asked Sophie to “integrate” into the hedge in order to amplify the effect and make it more harmonious. The idea was to take a few pictures with the hedge to get some depth into the picture. This is Sophie at the end of our shooting day. This allowed me to reliably use this lens for vlogging, even in the low evening light. The autofocus of this lens was fast and accurate, in both photo and video modes shooting on the Sony a7 III. And since it’s an Art lens, as with all the other Art lenses I’ve tried and owned, it’s incredibly sharp even wide open at f1.4, so while the foreground and background lost focus, my subject never did. With the SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, I was able to get that wide angle of view that really shows off the subject’s surroundings, while shortening that depth of field enough to render the background and foreground out of focus, like I wanted. To start with, I don’t want everything to be sharp and that’s often the biggest hurdle with wide angle lenses, since the depth of field gets very deep very quickly, leaving very little bokeh to separate subject from foreground and background. When it comes to urban photography and shooting portraits in the streets, I like to show as much of the surrounding architecture and movement as possible.
