Before sunset

I made a mistake with timing yesterday, and went to Sveta Nedilja an hour too early, so instead of a sunset I got to see the most contrasty, harsh sunlight. Of course, after we got tired and left, the golden light started. 🙂

This had an advantage, though: instead of the typical sunsety shots I had to look for things that are actually interesting on their own and regardless of the sunset, which is an example of photography in bad light I was talking about before.

Australopitecus hvarensis 🙂

This is exactly the kind of shots that I would normally take with my phone, because the light is so harsh I wouldn’t bother taking the camera, and then I would see interesting motives and end up with iPhone photo quality. This time, I took the A7CR with the FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens.

There’s one thing I noticed – I got dust on the sensor two days in a row. Either that’s because I was careless when changing lenses, or the collapsible lens “inhales” air into the camera, or it’s just that the A7CR, unlike the A7RV, doesn’t have ultrasonic dust cleaning; it’s hard to tell. The dust speck was prominently featured in all pictures and I had to clone it out, and I need to pay more attention to those things in the future.
