We've had snow all week. Going to head down to the park as soon as the sun rises see what I can see and photo.
I regret not getting my A7C with the kit lens now. Seems to get rave reviews.
ThanksGreat set of Betty images mate, the last one is fantastic as love her smiling.
Yeah same here I was out at 8am and did just over 10km. On the way back the car park was full (so much for staying local) going to avoid the main bit of the park next time.I'm so glad we went out pre-sunrise. By the time we left the 'country park' type place at 9:30 it was rammed!!

Nice set of images. Does the animal eye focus keep up with your dog on the A7R IV. It is looking nice and sharp on these images did you use animal eye detect.
Thanks, tbh the A7RIV isn’t great for this, but then neither was the Z7 so I don’t know if it’s because Betty’s face is predominantly black and so there’s little contrast to work with but both cameras seem to heavily back focus. On a run towards the camera like this I would guess hit rate is 40-50%. I didn’t use animal eye af because I’ve found it’s not great for this, especially as the eyes are a similar colour to the face.Nice set of images.

Over on Luminous Landscape someone got banned for claiming that Sony's eye af was racist because it worked best on white people. I have noticed that focus sometimes fails on Mrs WW and heads for another face even though it's Mrs WW who's in the camera as the saved target face but in my innocence I'd just put it down to skin tone and the camera finding better contrast on someone elses face I suppose these system will get better but the colours and contrasts the gear sees must cause problems some of the time and possibly always will.
Me neither, although it appears to be dogist I'm not sure why WW's camera struggles with Mrs WW though User error I saycan't say I have experienced racism from my Sony cameras

Thanks, I have found that with my Z6 and Black Lab. A9 II is top of my list at the moment but I'd miss the resolution for landscapes and keep a D850 for that. Would you rate the A7R IV autofocu better than the Z7 for actionThanks, tbh the A7RIV isn’t great for this, but then neither was the Z7 so I don’t know if it’s because Betty’s face is predominantly black and so there’s little contrast to work with but both cameras seem to heavily back focus.

If it had full real time tracking with animal eye af it would be better but I think it’s only the A9 with this. This is why if the A9III is high MP I’d be sorely tempted once the price drops.

Nice shots, the last one looks like me every time a new lens gets delivered.

Why does that make me want to open a tin and eat a biscuit?
Bonio ?Why does that make me want to open a tin and eat a biscuit?
It is weird, you’d expect it to prioritise those people who are stored into the settingsI don't think it's user error and it's not all the time. It's worst when she's stood next to someone else as the focus may select the other person despite Mrs WW being the one who's plumbed into the camera settings. I'm sure it's just a matter of the lighting at the time. Her eyes are very dark and you'd think that'd help but even when she's stood next to one of her family members or a friend with similar colouration the camera may prefer them to her. Colouration wise she's about middling for a Thai with some being lighter and some darker.

It's snowing in London
Thanks.That's brilliant. Excellent capture with the apple as well. Like something from Beatrix Potter.
