Title: Temples at Bagan
Post by: shadowblade on June 14, 2021, 01:31:45 am

Temples at Bagan, Burma, at sunset.

Taken from Shwegu Gyi Phaya. Ta Bat Kya pagoda in the foreground and Ananda Temple in the background.

This shot was somewhat ruined by motion blur from shutter shock, since the original A7r didn't have EFCS, so it took me 8 years to get around to processing it. After cleaning up, it still makes a perfectly good 12x16" print - just don't print it at 30x40" or similar. And you won't get another shot like this with an A7r3/4 or A1 - the temple in the foreground was severely damaged in the 2016 earthquake, with its spire toppling.

Sony A7r with Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM. 120mm, f/7.1, 1/30s, ISO 50.

Excellent light for this spectacular image. At that size, I don't see any blur issue (it's normal or/and my eyes are getting worse again).

I agree.
