Under the Bridge

Pushing my new compact camera , the Sony RX100 VII ,through its paces.

As you know I love doing portraits, so I got my daughter to test it in difficult circumstances, against the graffiti under a bridge.

I think it passed OK. The "eye autofocus" feature, when enabled, is pretty incredible. It locks onto the nearest eye, no need to faff around with spot focussing. In fact it tracks the eye too, if I move from left to right, up or down, or backwards and forwards it still locks onto the eye !

I am underneath the bridge near the exit looking towards the brighter light, the camera metering did a cracking job. This is f4, so the detail is excellent.

I am in need of a lockdown haircut !

Conclusion: Camera is good for street portraits and my "strangers project"

It's a great portrait! Your daughter did a real good job.

Great shot! You look like part of the street art 😊

Looks great. A lot of those with newer technology are pretty awesome let alone handy to carry around. Good to have a nice portrait of oneself.

[Allison Williams]

Excellent portrait. Such rich color and realistic facial tones!

[Peter Dulis]

nice sharp image

[LManning (Laura)]

Looks great!!

Fav for a cracking shot, Phil. Love all the colour! I remember that camera being almost too sharp for its own good - if you get my drift!

[Margo]

Great shot of you & the grafitti

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice to see you again. Well done to the camera and to your daughter. Interesting info about your new toy.

Good choice of background, and good shot by your daughter too.
