Snapshot of the Day: Father & Son: Sony SLT A77

A77_STREET_01062012_0069
The best camera is the one that’s with you. Shot with the Sony SLT A77 (currently in Stock at BH!).
Shutter speed 1/640, f4, ISO 800. I rarely consider a full size DSLR for street shooting, the A77 however does quite well. Translucent mirror and first curtain shutter minimize shutter sound. Just for fun, I compared the A77’s dimensions 5.59 x 4.09 x 3.15″ to the Leica M9 5.47 x 1.46 x 3.15″ almost identical in height and width! Fun times!

    Great shot! I’d like to know whether you asked permission from the subjects to take their photo – or whether they didn’t realise they were being photographed. Keep up the great work!

    thanks Rufus! You won;t be disappointed once your A77 arrives. Pentax, I wish I had use for the new 645D, looks like a dream, I used to shoot film with it and loved it, I also shot the 67 quite a bit, ah, good ol’ times…..

    Hi

    Stumbled across your blog. Now bookmarked.

    I like your work, some great street photography.

    This particular image is terrific – you really nailed the focus there and shallower DOF for the boy on the right draws the eye to the guy with arm up ( hailing a cab I guess ! ).

    Nice work.

    And you are a Sony user. As am I. A900 user with an A77 on the way.

    I also have a soft spot for Pentax. When it comes to cameras I prefer the “road less travelled” rather than being the same as the other guy…

    Greetings from London. Peace. And happy shooting.

    Rufus
