This year&#8217;s setup is different though, with the Sony A73 doing duties for the first of hopefully many years to come. The lens of choice was the trustworthy Sony FE 24-105mm f4.0.

A number of accessories came out to play for off-camera lighting: both of the Godox flash units triggered using the Godox XPro, and also a Meike remote controller connected via a battery grip to the A73.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04463-CNY-day01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04463-CNY-day01.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04463-CNY-day01-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04463-CNY-day01-768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04481-CNY-day01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04481-CNY-day01.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04481-CNY-day01-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04481-CNY-day01-768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04504-CNY-day01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04504-CNY-day01.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04504-CNY-day01-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/blog-2019-family-A7_04504-CNY-day01-768x548.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our yearly tradition of having taking our family pictures on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
