Sony a7rm2 and Samyang 135 mm F2

I just got hands on brand new #Sony A7Rm2 camera and my favorite focal length 135 mm. At the time of this experience there is no native 135 mm lens available for Sony A7 series. The camera is delivering very high quality  images. Very rich in color and dynamic range is incredible. The lens itself ( #Samyang 135 mm F 2) is manual focus but it is quite easy to handle it by using focus peaking inside the camera.
The results are incredibly sharp, no chromatic aberration. I took some shots along the Nidelva River in Trondheim Norway.

A good thing about ‪#‎Trondheim‬'s ‪#‎Nidelva‬ river. Whenever I make a walk around it, I can take new photos with different perspective and some added stuffs. This is the reason that I always enjoy my walking trip there. 

Nordlys (aurora), over Trondheim

Aurora or northern lights called nordlys in Norwegian. An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, especially in the high latitude regions, caused by the collision of solar wind and magnetospheric charged particles with the high altitude atmosphere.

It is easy to see it in higher latitudes in Norway but not very often in Trondheim position. I wanted to take a picture where I can see the city as well. On 12th of september the aurora index was so high and it was very nicely visible over Trondheim as well. the tower in the left side of the picture called Ttyholt tårnet which has a rotating restaurant in top. From there you can see almost entire city.

AWESOME Aurora over Baklidammen

This was unexpected aurora, northern light in Trondheim.I was just out to take some night photos but fortunately I could see some green light as well. Baklidammen is a dam in Bymarka in Trondheim municipality in Sør-Trøndelag. The dam is located just west of Theisendammen, between Fjellseterveien and Old Bynesveg.

Flower mask!

I like this kind of blurry background which comes from a telelens. The colors in foreground come from another type of red-orangish flowers. Tele Lens 70-400 mm has been used on Sony A77 which is a crop sensor camera so the effective lens angle here is 600 mm. Flowers have been spotted in TRondheim Botanical Garden.

Matching colors!

I saw this beautiful flower in Ringve Botanical garden in Trondheim. The combination of these colors were very charming and peaceful. I hope you are agree with me and give you a sort of good looking set.I have used tele lens 70-400 mm on my Sony A77 (SLT-77V). The tele lens can give a nice compression of the distances. 

Landing and take off of giants!

I was in the Ringve Botanical garden in Trondheim to test my new camera Sony A77 (SLT-77). I tried to do some micro shots with 85 mm F 1,4. I tried to shots flower and birds. My main reason to get a crop sensor to rich far distance and also get more closer for macro-photography. 

Below you can see that I have been successful to capture two nice moment in the natural life of bees and flowers. The beautiful flower name is Buphthalmum salicifolius.

Jonsvatnet Trondheim Norway

Jonsvatnet is a lake in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. Most of the lake is in the eastern part of the municipality of Trondheim, with a very small part of the shoreline belonging to Malvik municipality. The lake is the main source for drinking water for Trondheim. As you can see the picture has been taken at sunset time. This was unique sense because of the perfect reflection  on the lake and also the shape of sun rays on trees.

Tranquility in Jonsvatnet, Trondheim!

Jonsvatnet is a beautiful lake in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. Most of the lake is in the eastern part of the municipality of Trondheim, with a very small part of the shoreline belonging to Malvik municipality. The lake is the main source for drinking water for Trondheim. Fishing is not allowed in this lake and also kayaking is allowed only in some part of it. The lake will be totally frozen in the winter times and people skating on it. I had a trip around this lake in May 2012 to test my beloved Nikon 14-24 mm F 2,8 on my Nikon D700. The weather was fantastic. I was there in sunset time. The wide end of this lens, 14 mm, is just fantastic. It is truly superlative performance in any situation. The only problem of this lens is that you are not able to use normal ND or CP filters which is in favourite of many landscape photographers, also lens is pretty heavy with almost one kg. I would say the weight of the lens is not an issue especially for landscape photography because photographers normally use tripods but filter disability may suffer those who want to capture long-exposures photos.

Bakklandet, those beautiful wood houses of Trondheim

Bakklandet is a neighborhood of Trondheim, Norway. It lies on the east side of the river Nidelva between Bakke Bridge and the Old Town Bridge. The area is dominated by small, wooden houses and narrow streets. It is among the major tourist attractions in the city.The streets of this part of the town are narrow with some very famous cafe, bars and some traditional butics. This picture has been taken by my 24-70 mm with ND filter on it. Using ND filter made the clouds smoother and the color of sunset is brighter. It was raining just before I took the picture as a reason you can see a small pond in the middle of the frame and a little reflection of the houses. Indeed there were some people walking around in the street but because of long shot they are not appearing in the frame. This is actually very useful tool in order to eliminate not needed elements.

Reflection in Leirsjøen, Trondheim

Store Leirsjøen or big Leirsjøen located in Leirelvvassdraget in Bymarka, Trondheim. Leirsjøen was originally separated from Frøset lake in the east, but by damming in 1929 waters were joint. Leirsjøen was drinking water in the years 1922 to 1993, after this period it is a reserve water source for Trondheim. For this reason, it has not been allowed to fish in the water. The result is a large population of smallish trout and char. I was with my friend to take some pictures and test the #ND filter. Indeed the reflection of water was so amazing and exactly like a mirror. I decided to take the picture with my tele lens 135 mm which is one of the most sharpestest lens produced by Carl Zeiss. You can find the picture in higher resolution and deatails by this link: http://bit.ly/Leirsjøen

17 May Norwegian National Day

In the 17th of May,Norwegian National Day. Norwegian are celebrating this day with parades and carnivals together with wearing their beautiful traditional clothes called Bunad. This is my 7 years of living in Norway. Almost every year I am going out in this day to take pictures and share the happiness with the Norwegians. I like pretty much their clothes and traditions. The Bunad has different shapes and forms based on the different communities in Norway. For example in Trøndelag province the colors are more into greenish. Noteworthy, Bunad is very expensive and normally they keep it at least for some years. I heard that some of them got the Bunad from their parents and then gave it to their childs.  See in larger version also the detail of photo : http://bit.ly/17mainorway
