A Visit To Bald Head Island

Bald Head Island Is The Place To Be

 

I finally made it over on to Bald Head Island! Before this trip to the North Carolina coast the closest I had been to Bald Head Island was just across the water on Oak Island. Some of you may have seen the photograph I took from here looking over at Old Baldy. The island is full of beautiful scenery and you get to rent golf carts to ride around in for the day! It has a nice quiet feel complete with beautiful beaches, nature trails, great restaurants and fun for everyone. I can’t wait for my next visit to the island there are still a few things I’d like to do like kayak all the marshes close to the boat house and photograph the birds.

 

Now here’s a shot I took from the West End of the island of Old Baldy.

Sony A6000 Leica Lens Test

Testing The Leica 135mm F4 Tele Elmar

These are my first shots using the Leica 135mm F4 Tele Elmar lens on the Sony A6000. Well in this Sony A6000 Leica Lens Test right off the bat I could tell these images were sharper than the 16-50mm that came in the kit. I’m using the Metabones Leica M to Sony E mount adapter to allow this lens to be used on the A6000. The lens is manual focus but focus peaking still works! Also another thing I found is even though the lens is manual aperture also all of the shooting modes seem to still work, like intelligent auto still does a fairly good job even without any lens electronics. Below are a couple quick shots I grabbed while testing the lens out.

Sony A6000 Test

I recently added the new Sony A6000 to my camera bag. So far I’m loving it! It’s about the same size as my NEX5N but has so much more to offer. The new Sony Play Memories Apps are pretty cool I’m liking the timelapse and star trails those are two I’ve been playing with recently. Here’s one I took using the kit lens 16-50mm which I’m still not so sure about. It seems to be hit or miss for the shots I’ve attempted with it so far.

Look for a full review of the Sony A6000 coming soon!
