Sony Alpha 550 Part 3!

Here’s more from the Sony Alpha 550! Thanks to Sony Malaysia, I was 710 meters above sea level in Langkawi Island. Some pictures can be clicked on for a larger view, and some pictures have EXIF data included.


Why so serious?


Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan at 210mm F4.


Lives up to the 14.2 megapixels, albeit with some purple fringing. Click image for a 100% crop.


The floating bridge!


Don’t miss a spot.


Live View for the overhead angle.

smashpOp ready for action. 75mm F4.


Spotted at the side. Live View and a tilting screen helps with the angles!


It is recommended you air your tattoos every 7 days to keep them looking fresh. So I say.


Down in the Underwater World Aquarium we pushed ISO3200.
