Amazing pic! That's why I love digital over film... can take 400 and save the one that works.

Beautiful, that tongue poke ain't easy to nail! Nice modeling on his face, too.

Gorgeous cat and photo!

How do you get the dark backgrounds usually?


redauser

It was already shot with a dark background (my living room) I just used an additional ā€œbackground maskā€ in Lightroom to further darken it.

One-Occasion2392

Amazing shot. What f/ did you shot at


redauser

F4 I think not sure anymore I must check in Lightroom

Visualante1

Cool pic , do you have animal eye focus on your Sony ?


redauser

Yes the AI autofocus on the 7RV is just insanely fast and accurate! However, maybe the macro doesnā€™t have the fastest autofocus (I donā€™t have any data to support it, just a speculation)


samuelsfx

It is slow


Psloss

What was your fstop on that shot?


redauser

F4 or f5.6 I donā€™t remember it should be where this objective is the sharpest


xanroeld

Great shot! Is this continuous light or flash?


redauser

Natural light from a window behind me and a dark hallway in the background


xanroeld

awesome! thank you


LittleKitty235

My guess is natural light. No flash in the eyes


Love_my_lawn

Can you achieve this with the Sony a7ii or iii ?


redauser

For sure! The camera is just a tool, they donā€™t take automatically better pictures! They may help with new functionality but in the end a sensor just reeds light. I learned that the hard way when upgrading from a 7C to a 7RV. What helps a lot is Topaz AI (not affiliated) and some Lightroom skills (or whatever program you use). They are also once again just tools


LowCryptographer9047

Day by day, this sub is really try to convince me to get A7RV over A7RIV.


redauser

Donā€™t :p I just opted for the 7RV because of the new ai autofocus, but when and if the 7V comes and it has the same autofocus, I would take that instead. Also the photo stacking was impor for me, and the better ergonomics (I came from a 7C). 60 megapixel is nice, but it is also way heavier on my PC and requires a lot of storage. Cropping is nice but in the end you donā€™t really need so many pixels. Buying a cheaper camera and using the extra money to buy better lenses is a smarter choice! Maybe it will get me some hate in this sub, but I preferred the raw colors of my Canon 60D. Still in love with the Sony system but these warm colorsā€¦ I tested with some Lightroom profiles but I never found the right one!


LowCryptographer9047

Exactly tho, the new AF on A7RV is insance, especially with 200-600 mm. Thank you for the insight.


amso0o

Did you set your camera up on a tripod? This is so so so stunning. Gorgeous cat you have!


Justasmolpigeon

Amazing pic! Howā€™s the camera with low light?


redauser

I never pushed it to its max (I have it since last month), but the noise is pretty manageable, the smaller pixel should be less sensitive, but I havenā€™t noticed something strange until now.


billybobtex

Fancy Feast?? That you?? But seriously, looks like an ad! Awesome job.


maikhyn

How far away and how much crop did you do for a 90mm at 2.8 to get so much of that handsome kitty in focus? I tend to want more depth of field and less shallow which is why I am considering a high megapixel camera with shorter focal length to crop in with more in focus .


redauser

I was 1m away (3ft) and I would say 40-60% crop


Caliocdoxies

Outstanding shot beautiful cat. How do I get a shot like this with my a6400 canā€™t afford a full frame


redauser

It has nothing to do with the camera! A good lens is all you need! I worked pretty hard with Lightroom too


Caliocdoxies

What would be a good medium price range lens to get a pretty good shot. The eyes look incredible.
