Leo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Since I got the Sony α 100-400mm 4.5/5.6 GM lens, my hobby has been to chase the sun during the golden hour and frame it within the Boston cityscape. This lens has given me the opportunity to see the city in a completely different way. Before the lens, I never cared where the sun was 🤷♂️. After the lens, I can't take my mind off of the sun 😎! Here are four shots during the golden hour with the big sun. All shots are taken by Sony α7IV & 100-400mm 4.5/5.6 GM 🫡. * Four residents of a skyscraper in downtown Boston watching the sunset. I Love the scale of the people in relation to the sun. * The sun is setting over downtown Boston skyline. I shot this 3.45 mi (5.56 km) away in town of Winthrop. In foreground is Boston Logan International Airport. * Sunset over the Charles River and Harvard Bridge, between the Gothic towers of Boston University College of Arts and Sciences building. * Sunset over the Charles River and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

tonygale Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 And another from Arches National Park a few years ago. Balanced Rock both backlit by the setting sun and front lit from the other side. Both with the a7RIII the back lit is with the 100-400GM and the front lit with the 24-70GM. I like to try different angles to see what works. It is almost never my first try.

Rexyspride Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Taken on a recent trip to the Isle of Wight. It's a place called The Needles I'm guessing because of the pointy rocks at the edge of the cliff. I only have the 24mm 2.8G so far and probably could've done with something longer but you've got to work with what you've got.

Stuart B. Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 This shot of the Golden Gate Bridge took several trips to the same spot to get the right conditions. I took several different exposures and layered them to balance out the color. Products Used Alpha 7R IV (Alpha7RIV)Cameras 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCastro Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I was rushing through Inhambane, Mozambique, to get to our lodge to capture this photo. I luckily made it just in time. 🙂 No two sunsets are alike, but that is especially true in Africa.
