Sony FE 28mm f2
Besides the 35mm primes, there’s another focal length that I really like for casual photography – and it’s 28mm. I didn’t own a 28mm prime during my Nikon DSLR days, but I had one such during over the 7 years

10 Days in Maldives 2019 – Equipment Comments
Equipment wise, the Maldives trip turned out to be quite a varied experience: I bought just two lenses for the Sony A73 – the FE 24-105mm and Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 – and not unexpectedly, used the former far more than
10 Days in Maldives – Day 10 – Olhuveli Beach & Spa Maldives
Before we began planning for our Maldives trip, a stay at a water villa at an all-inclusive private island was the bucket list item. So, in a sense, the planning for our 10 day trip was first largely centered around
10 Days in Maldives – Day 09 – Olhuveli by Sunrise
The third in my series of posts covering Olhuveli by day, night, and finally – at sunrise. The lightweight Sirui T-024X Carbon Fiber Tripod and C-10S Ball Head was carted along for this Maldives trip. And after two earlier attempts
10 Days in Maldives – Day 08 – Olhuveli by Night
A companion pictorial blog post to Olhuveli by Day, and this time when the sun sets. Our Ang Mo bud quipped that he was half-expecting for a bunch of very drunk Aussies to show up at any time. Fortunately, that
10 Days in Maldives – Day 08 – Olhuveli by Day
It was literally impossible to take a bad picture at the Olhuveli Beach & Spa Maldives. A collection of pictures from our point of arrival and across the four days we stayed at the property. I’ll do a longer commentary
10 Days in Maldives – Day 07 – Huraa Island
Truth to tell, prior to departure, I did have some trepidation to the length of time we’d be spending on a local island, and that we’d be staying in a guest house. The touristy private island resorts, where we’d be
10 Days in Maldives – Day 04 – Sand Bank
Some of the most stunning pictures one can get out of a Maldives trip would be ones taken on sand banks. These are tiny little islands with white sand, and little else – no vegetation, no shrubbery and tree cover.
10 Days in Maldives – Day 03 – Guest Beach @ Huraa
Given the various challenges our party of noob snorkelers experienced on Day 2 – including Peter who didn’t want to give it another go – our host @ The Sunrise Huraa, Sameer, proposed that we go to an easier location
Chinese New Year 2019
Our yearly tradition of having taking our family pictures on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This year’s setup is different though, with the Sony A73 doing duties for the first of hopefully many years to come. The
Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE Lens – Part 2
Continued from the previous post! I placed an order with B&H Photo Video for the Samyang lens on the 9 Jan WEDS afternoon, and it was delivered by DHL Express on 12 Jan SAT afternoon – two days ahead of
Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE Lens – Part 1
My first lens acquisition for 2019! Thankfully again it’s not an impulse buy, but a considered one, and also for my favorite prime focal length too: 35mm. One of the nicest things about the Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras is the
