I'm enjoying the new (to me) camera so far - Sony a7s, with the Sony 50mm f/2.5 G lens

This is with the lens wide open and iso 10000, so I won't say that I love this shot technically but I love that Tigress came out of the closet to hang out with me and this is already satisfying my desire to have more camera than my phone (and honestly more digital camera than I ever had before, even if it's a 11 year old design)

I wanted this camera many years ago because it was a full frame sensor and optimized for low light use, and the move to Seattle and an urge to go on walks after dark got me thinking about it again, and it was a lot cheaper now, so I got it

Also feels good to kind of relive something of the experience of a 35mm camera with a 50mm lens which was approximately where I learned to be serious about photography

It's got warmth almost like film does, somehow. and how the focus fades but then is sharp again in perimeter. It's a good candid shot. (And adorable moggie)  

I have a Canon DSLR for product shoots that I hadn't used in forever. Kiddo dug it out, charged it up, and took some amazing pictures. I honestly had forgotten how good 35/50mm looks. It's just better. They just feel more real.

@MissConstrue Thanks. The lighting is kind of weird RGB led lighting I had turned down to a really warm color

@recursive Ooooh, I'm about to deep dive into "how to light my rooms like someone with taste and not like someone with a loyalty card at Lowes" I've seen youtubes on doing lights like that, and it sounds so awesome. It looks great in the shot.
