Sony a7s Insane Low Light With Philip Bloom

The Sony a7s is our top-selling D-SLR right now, and with its insane low-light qualities, it's not hard to see why.

Here is a short video shot by Philip Bloom in Australia on the night of the SuperMoon. It was shot at 1 a.m., and yes that's moonlight, not sunlight, and that's the moon he's looking up to at the end, not the sun.

Amazing.

Salton Sea 2015: The Surreal, The Bizarre and The Obvious

This was one of the more surreal images DV Dude came across. A tree growing in a sea of salt, with some very mysterious metal boxes, and geothermal plants in the background. Almost looks like an album cover for Pink Floyd, except this was real. Captured on the road to Red Hill Marina on the Salton Sea.

While scouring the ruins at Salton Sea Beach, DV Dude came upon this slightly bizarre scene.  

This warning notice posted on a destroyed house in Salton City tells everyone that this structure is not safe for human habitation. Thank you Captain Obvious.

 

Greetings From The Salton Sea: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

DV Dude has ventured to southern California for his annual January Photography Trip, and his choice this year was the Salton Sea.

The Salton Sea has seen better days, as this nice beach tableau at the Salton Sea Beach demonstrates. This is bad.

 

And here's the ugly - dead fish. Lots of dead fish carcasses. This is a particularly bad section, and shouldn't be taken as what all the beaches are like. But there are fish carcasses everywhere. A tad gross, and ruins the nice mellow of the very peaceful, and quite beautiful, Salton Sea.
