What is This Man Waiting For?


What is This Man Waiting For?  He is waiting for admission to the rarified atmosphere of the elite group of photographers who are using the Sony a7iii mirrorless cameras!  My cameras for the last 20 years have been Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and the new, new thing is called "mirrorless" cameras.  In the DSLR's there is a mirror that reflects the image from the lens to the focusing screen, and then flips out of the way when you take a picture.  The mirrorless cameras take the image from the lens on the sensor, and then that image is sent to an electronic display inside the viewfinder.  The other thing about these Sony cameras is their sensors - they are very sensitive sensors and so these cameras are perfect for night sky photography.

Funny photo and caption. I had to read the entry twice to try to understand how this new camera works and produces an images. I still don't, but from a layperson's eye, I enjoy all the photos from any of the cameras. Trace

Of course you are. Stan must have wanted his Sony back. Look forward to seeing night time or new photos.

The photo made me think of a little kid who is waiting for the post man to deliver his new toy. Gee - that's what this is :-) Enjoy your new "toy". Looking forward to more photos. betsey
