Sony DSC H-9

[Maxxwire]

____Enter X-Glass____

I have now added a Sony's 1.7X Teleconversion Lens to my Sony DSC H-9 and it has increased the 35 mm equivalent focal length of its Zeiss Lens from 455 mm to 790 mm with the following results.



This photo was taken at 25.5X which is the H-9's 15X Zeiss Lens combined with the 1.7 Power X-Glass.



This is the same shot from the exact same spot using the 790 mm focal length of the 15X Zeiss Lens and X-Glass plus the 2X Digital Zoom hand held using Sony's Super Steady Shot.

I started out taking photos with a Leica Camera, a 300 MM Lens and a tripod 40 years ago and I never dreamed that I'd ever be able to get shots like this at 1,580 mm equivqalent focal length without the aid of a tripod, but the H-9 with X-Glass changed all of that!

This is how the DSC H-9 sees the fountain from about 75' away through the X-Glass on a sunny afternoon.

I was on a journey up to Pro Photo this afternoon and I made an unexpected stop along the way to take 170+ photos. Fortunately a few of them turned out alright.

I ran into a little fellow who was hard at work doing what he does best when I was out on my photo shoot today.





This is a 1:1 crop of the original picture above giving us a closer look at this busy fellow.

Joe- Being able to now use a great Camera like the Sony DSC H-9 with its Zeiss Lens and a Computer to present the Digital images imakes for as much fun as I've had in Photography since I was in the Portland State dark room developing film and making prints 40 years ago only now the pictures are made in Full Color without Chemicals, but that Magical feeling of discovering a whole new world of perception one image at a time is exactly the same as it ever was.

Wanting to take advantage of the DSC H-9's several manual setting modes I've started to experiment with doing some time lapse image gathering in the evenings. This is a 2 second exposure that I took last night.

This is another example of the many various types of images that can be created with some manual manipulation of the DSC H-9 during the capture period.
