The continuous bracket exposure 0.3 EV on my Sony alpha 7S

This morning I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and while I was walking I started playing with the menu on my Sony α7S. While I was stepping through the shooting menu to change from timer (I’d be using the Sony for some food photography as work) to single shot my finger slipped and I noticed more options in this menu. I came across an option for continuous bracket exposure 0.3 EV. I also noticed I could change that to 3 or 5 shots and change the exposure increment from 0.3 to 0.5 to 0.7 to 1 to 2 EV.

Roses from my garden

One of my work mates is very keen on growing roses. One day I mentioned I grow roses in the garden bed in the balcony in the rented apartment. When I explained that I do nothing to maintain the two plants which produce red and pink roses the look on my friend’s face was priceless.

Trying out Easy2MapPhotos on an early walk

This is more of a test post. I’ve just installed a new plug in called Easy2MapPhotos The plug in allows me to add a map to each photograph I upload so you can see the location from where the photograph was shot.

Yerra Beach on Lake Ginninderra is in need of attention

I grew up in Brisbane and spent 12 formative years in Darwin. These are places near beaches. As a teenager and young adult much of my spare time was on the beach and in the surf. It was like my natural habitat. In Darwin going to the beach is potentially dangerous with crocodiles able to chase you on the sand and deadly jellyfish in the water.
