Yep, probably the best looking car of all time.The GT40 is such a wonderful shape and decades ahead of it's time, was a privilege to get a clear shot so close up.

I am around chap..... lurking in the darkness awaiting the next epic camera GAS attack.... just kidding!Where's @Riz_Guru
Cracking set (not sure about the colours on the first?), such a photogenic part of the world.Some shots from the last 72 hours.......
Left home at 2am on Friday and headed to Glencoe for sunrise, Then off to Glenfinnan to catch the Jacobite steam train.
I then headed to Mallaig and caught the ferry to Skye where the weather was pretty crap. Got some shots at Elgol and headed for Neist Point. Got to within 1/4 of a mile of Neist Point and the fog rolled in and I couldn't see 3ft in front of me....worst fog I've ever seen.
So I headed home to Prestwick and got there at Midnight.
Got up today and saw the Anatov 225 at Prestwick.
Back to work tomorrow for a rest....
Here's some of the shots......

I know what you mean about the colours.Cracking set (not sure about the colours on the first?), such a photogenic part of the world.
Tamron 70-300mm incoming! You know a system has made it when a third party consumer 70-300 arrives. Actually looking forward to this, will likely be more than enough for my motorsport needs along with my 70-180mm.
Looks good, I’m hoping the price isn’t crazy.
Someone who is considering it?Who ha s aspare hour or more to watch a 7s 3 review?
I'm just about to embark on shooting video on my A6500 never having done so before. I can find lots of YouTube stuff about general settings for video but I still have a few grey areas to clear up.
I'm unclear as to what are the best settings when just about to film in terms of exposure.
I understand that I should set shutter speed to twice the frame rate so should I set aperture to get the DOF I want and set the ISO to auto or am I still thinking too much in terms of shooting stills?
Be grateful for views.
I really hope the price is reasonable.

Thanks. How would this work:Thats correct, Auto ISO can be really useful but manual would be more consistent.
Hmmm, sadly I think you might me right. As it's never been listed as an Art lens I thought it might be a cheaper sibling but I've just seen the "A" on the side so I'm assuming that it's a new Art lens, guess I'll be sticking with the Sony f1.8 for quite some time then.I am gonna take a wild stab in the dark and guess it will be around £1300
Just noticed it has a lock button for the aperture ring, why can't Sony do that!

I wasn't that interested in the new Sigma 85mm art but after seeing the comparison photo with the Tamron 28-75 and comparing my own Tamron 28-75 to my 85 f/1.8 it looks like the new Sigma is about the same psychical size as the Sony 85 f/1.8.
If that is the case that changes things some what and it is a lens I would be interested in. I would never get rid of my 85GM, but I could see myself upgrading my 85 f/1.8 to the new Sigma, if it has a reasonable a.f speed.
The whole overheating thing imo is overblown, look at other cameras, they all overheat. Fujis XTs, Panasonic (excluding the GH due to clever design), Nikons latest, Sonys APSC/FF and now the Canon R5/R6. Its nothing new. Small body, fast memory, lots of processing of very large files creates heat and it has nowhere to go. Sony was smart in lifting the upper limit of the warning at the users own risk during tricky shoots.
For me with my creaking old A7 the focus performance would be crucial as if there's any hint of hesitation or hunting that would just kill it stone dead for me.
At some point your gonna have to upgrade that thing, That body is so old I heard Judas shot the last supper with one.
Even if it is super fast, you won't see the advantage on such an old body and it will likely perform much worse than it should.

Well now that cinema's wnt be opening anytime soon, i will just pop round yours to see TENANT!!!I am around chap..... lurking in the darkness awaiting the next epic camera GAS attack.... just kidding!
I have been pretty focused on work + family these past few months and have drifted further away from photography (iPhone still gets used a lot). The stock market has also taken more of my time and the rest has been put towards another passion of mine........ movies etc.
I recently upgraded my home cinema from high-end Atmos 7.1.4 sound bars to a dedicated 5.1.2 AVR + Speaker setup (this was after sending back the new LG sound bar for a refund)
Sound bars have their place but I was having too many niggles with them and thought I would be function over the appearance of the room.
You really crack me up sometimes
On serious note- I have a Sony 85mm GM - I doubt any 3rd party 85mm would tempt me to change that - I love the f1.4 add that to Eye AF its a dream lens for portraits

My worry is based on my experience with the Sony 50mm f2.8 macro I had which was unusable as an AF lens on my A7 but all the other Sony AF lenses I have work ok. If any other lens uses similar cheapo or otherwise crappy AF it could be just as useless. IQ and AF wise with decent lenses my A7 does everything I want it to.
Actually, I had a very bad day yesterday and as I lay in bed I did think about (trying) to sell just about everything I have and just keeping the A7 and a couple of lenses as I'm just not getting the time or opportunity to pursue this hobby now.
