Our final day in Prague included another sunrise start. The best way to capture stunning shots of a city in the middle of summer is to get up before everyone else does haha. This morning we decided to head to the Prague Old Town Square. WOW it was beautiful with the bright, sunrise light streaming through the buildings.
Unlike our first day in Prague, on day 2 Dan and I managed to wake up at sunrise. Since we are here in the middle of summer, it gets extremely busy during the day. In order to be able to capture photos of the city, we need to get up as early as possible! The bonus side to having quiet streets is early in the morning, you also have beautiful soft light to work with as well.
The Samyang V-AF 75mm T1.9 is a full frame, Sony E-mount lens. For photography, I am using this prime lens on the Sony A7IV and the A7sIII for video. This V-AF 75mm T1.9 is part of Samyang's new video lens line up.
The Sony A7RV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. The A7RV weighs 723g, almost as heavy as the flagship Sony A1 which weighs 736g. The Sony A7RV received a huge overhaul to Sony's well known eye AF. The A7RV now uses an AI processing unit to improve the camera's subject recognition capabilities. The new AI processing unit allows the A7RV to have better accuracy with autofocus and more variety in autofocus subjects. These autofocus subjects include humans, animals, birds, insects, trains, planes and cars. Watch my Sony A7RV real world review video below. I share real time human, animal and insect subject recognition examples in stills and video.
The Zeiss 55mm f1.8 is a budget-friendly prime lens which I am using on the full frame Sony A7C camera body. In this behind the scenes video, I share with you my composition tips and how I direct my subject for portraits with a 55mm.
In this photography tutorial, I share my favourite portrait composition tips to capture better looking portraits. I chose an urban location for this photoshoot, since having a distracting background with lines, different colours and textures is helpful to see the before & afters of my composition tips.
The GM 35mm f1.4 is a small and sharp prime lens when paired with the Sony A7III. This 35mm f1.4 focuses with ease in strong backlight situations with both eye AF and subject tracking. In this portrait photoshoot on the GM 35mm f1.4, I share the image quality and sharpness when taking portraits at wide open apertures.
