PLAYING WITH THE A7R

I recently upgraded from shooting with a Canon Rebel XTi to the Sony A7r. I still am learning all the nuances of the camera, but have been enjoying playing around with it and seeing how far I can push its insane low-light capabilities. So far I only have a few Canon FD mount primes and I love how they produce a softer image. Hoping to get some different glass the the future...

Nighttime take of the bathroom. Really pushed the ISO on this one. There was basically no light in the bathroom, aside from the spill of a street light from outside. I wanted to see how close the camera could get to seeing what my eye see and how well such a high ISO would hold up. The quality is definitely degraded, but I was able to pretty much match the camera to my eye. I love the color of the light, the contrast, and the mood of the image. Despite the lower quality, it has a sort of painterly aspect to it.
