Hello All,

After seeing the new cameras from PMA and not feeling confident with my repaired S9000's Command Dial, I decided to trade it in with some other gear for a Sony R-1.

The s9000 is a great camera at its price point. But I felt the R-1 and its lens would suit me better for my people pics.

One of my first R-1 shots:

Regards, Nicholas

    that shot looks noisy as heck - is it because its attached rather than linked to your SM?

    Nice shot. The foreground stuff, i think they are chairs and that candle are distracting from a really nice shot.

    Hello All,

    The foreground items are what you see while sitting in the pew, my intended vantage point of you, the viewer. Guess it didn't work.

    I already do miss the range.

    That is not noise, its 'photographic grain'.

    Regards, Nichoas

    I like the vantage point. It's one of the better composed pics you've posted
    (at least in my opinion).

    I do think the small size of the attachments does limit the viewer's perception
    of the shot though. I don't know that I would categorize it as either
    grain or noise but probably compression artifact.

    Don't you have a smugmug account you could link from? That'd really show
    off the quality of the shot.

    The R1 is a fine camera and I have to belive that a linked shot would show
    it off in its best light (so to speak).

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Ian, that's what I was getting at. I know Nick has a SM account.
