Rawa, 2007

Posted on 18 Jul 201827 Jun 2019   by CY

Sony A7 III – Dynamic Range @ Bali

Posted on 24 Jun 201820 Dec 2018   by CY

I did a lot of HDR compositions while I was still using the Nikon D300 ten years ago. And with a good deal of luck and preparation, pictures like these were quite possible: HDR shots though are by their very

Equipment Review @ Bali 2018

Posted on 23 Jun 201830 Jun 2018   by CY

There were three lenses – the FE 24-105mm f4.0, FE 16-35mm f4.0 and the adapted Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 – accompanying the Sony A73 on its maiden overseas outing: and I ended up using just two lenses: and about 99% of

Bali 2018 – Eat Till We Drop

Posted on 22 Jun 201822 Jun 2018   by CY

Bali 2018 – Photography @ Villa

Posted on 21 Jun 201821 Jun 2018   by CY
