Lights of the Market

While staying in Raleigh, I was experimenting with the Sony A7r and exploring its capabilities. I went inside a lively fresh market with many bright colors and unique products and produce. It was a fairly large building that I actually went into after walking around outside where the State Farmers Market was taking place. The camera has a variety of different presets and filters that you can use in live mode with your camera. I decided to try… Read More

I saw little purple flowers a little ways behind the bright pink flowers, a beautiful lake, and the Japanese museum on an island sitting on the lake just come together. Before even raising my Leica X1 to capture the moment, I had already composed the… Read More

Carnival Squash

Late last year, I went up to a State Farmers Market. There we were so many stands and vendors that I just took my time and explored the place. Since I was still fairly new to my Sony A7r, I decided to experiment with some of the settings. There was a live pop color preset that when you look through the lens, all of the colors around you were full of life and saturation…. Read More
