That would have looked great with some prop blur. How come you chose shutter speed of 1/6400th and ISO 640?
Edit: Ah, just seen that it was shot in auto mode and previous posts.
Only pros use auto mode.

Thanks for all the reply’s plenty of interesting food for thought, Unfortunately the person who was buying my last canon body has pulled out etc, so it’s back on eBay with a £1 fees offer, hopefully I can squeeze some extra value out of it.
The sensible solution will be the 7iii, as trying to do more weddings etc, but at the same time I do a lot of landscapes etc so the extra resolution has some benefits as well, a well priced 2nd Rii shouldn’t hopefully lose any value so might be an option to get it have a play see how it goes then sell on for hopefully the same price /very little lose. Will just have to wait and see and hope the grey import price further drops on the a7iii not in a huge rush either.
I wouldn't dismiss the a7RII, it's a bit of a bargain now and it was only 5 minutes ago that it had game changing AF. I'll be holding onto mine for a good few years, served me really well during the winter wedding season (so lots of darkness) and has easily handled everything I've thrown at it, which has been a fair bit to say the least.
Good luck stopping the helicopter blades on smaller shutter speeds..That would have looked great with some prop blur. How come you chose shutter speed of 1/6400th and ISO 640?

Welcome back
big delivery day here. a good day to WFH
First dibs on the 50mm ART please.
I think that after you've got to grips with exposure and what the buttons all do just about everything else is opinion really (and maybe exposure is too) and if someone wants to blur or stop moving things who am/you I to judge.
Fair comment and I was only making a joke because the other posters were asking about rotor blur but Jonney got the other end of the stick I think.

Absolutely, you'd need to have a speed of 1/250th or even less to effectively blur rotor blades which of course makes everything else in the frame that's moving blurred.Good luck stopping the helicopter blades on smaller shutter speeds..

I really like blurring static subjects, makes everything look better and everyone feel drunk.
The blur just gives an image more life and I'm not sure anything else in Jonney image would be adversely affected by a slower speed?
Possibly but the swinging crew members would be blurred.The blur just gives an image more life and I'm not sure anything else in Jonney image would be adversely affected by a slower speed?

That's a style that makes some people look more attractive too and of course some of the most famous photographs are not exactly razor sharp across the frame. Take a look at some of these in this little article...

"There are no rules. No generalizations." I'd extend that to most if not all aspects of photography.
Can you see how he uses a slow shutter speed to indicate movement (moving subject) and make the image more interesting?
You think?
If only he'd had an A7III.
How would that change anything? It is a mighty fine camera though you should get it.
My point was (as I'm sure you know) that a picture doesn't necessarily have to be sharp, blurred, in focus, correctly exposed or anything else, and an extra point is that sometimes it maybe does Plus kit sometimes matters to get the effect you want and one thing HCB didn't have was fast responsive kit and if he'd had it he'd maybe have produced different pictures.
PS.
The picture that got me hooked on photography was one I took when I was 10 of my sister stroking a horse. The sun was behind them and they came out as pretty much just silhouettes and as the camera was fixed focus and they were pretty close they were a bit OOF too and I thought WoW a camera is not just for accurately capturing a picture of what's there, you can make a different picture too.
But I digress.
I like Jonney's shot.
told yathe sigma art 50mm f1.4. WOW
