david purdie photo blog and gallery news

Whenever possible am getting out for the last couple of hours of sunlight, today near Woodchurch. I was testing out a really cheap elderly (1980s) 200mm f4 Canon EF lens. Bought for £40 on ebay and used on my Sony A7R2 with an adapter, it looks to perform better than my modern Canon 70-200 zoom. This was inspired after finding a very interesting site about using manual lenses, old and new, on modern Sony bodies....   https://phillipreeve.net/blog/  Although having said that this is a 2 frame stitched picture shot on the Sony using a Canon 85mm f1.8.

This was taken in Hastings during the last workshop of 2017 in November. We had a great day and an amazing sunset over the harbour wall. I will be adding blog posts from time to time here. If you'd like to follow me and the gallery, bookmark this page. Also I post work in progress shots on Instagram from time to time as purdiegallery.
