Title: Capturing the Cosmos with My Sony Alpha A7R: A New Photographic Journey

The night sky has always held a special allure for me. Its cosmic beauty, filled with stars and celestial wonders, never ceases to amaze. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to combine my passion for photography with my newfound fascination for aerial perspectives, thanks to my "new to me" Sony Alpha A7R camera paired with a 24MM - 70MM Sony OSS lens.


I began my evening capturing more pictures of my best friends. Lola, Joey, and Trixy. Trying out my newest lens. I was amazed at the stunning shutter speeds capturing the K9s in mid air, 4 out of 5 shots the whole scene was in sharp focus. I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the photos. Can you pick out the photo where I accidentally jerked the camera just as the shutter tripped?


As the night started to draw nearer, I wanted to test out some sunset and low light abilities of my new camera. I pointed the lens toward the west and was astonished at the beauty of the sky that appeared on the camera's monitor.



A Photographic Adventure Begins

The moment I held the Sony Alpha A7R in my hands, I knew I was in for an extraordinary photographic journey. This camera, renowned for its remarkable image quality and versatility, promised to be the perfect companion for capturing the night sky in all its glory.

My first celestial photography experience with this camera was nothing short of magical. With its powerful low-light capabilities, I captured a mesmerizing shot of the star-studded sky above. The 24MM - 70MM Sony OSS lens allowed me to frame the Milky Way in all its grandeur, revealing intricate details and cosmic wonders that I had never seen before.


A solid tripod mount for your camera is a must have for celestial photography.

My journey into celestial photography was further fueled by my recent achievement of earning my Part 107 FAA drone certification. This certification opened up a world of possibilities, allowing me to explore the skies both day and night. It rekindled my passion for photography and video, pushing me to seek unique perspectives that were previously unattainable.


A New Chapter of Exploration

As I continue to explore the boundless beauty of the cosmos with my Sony Alpha A7R, I am reminded of the endless possibilities that await. The synergy between my newfound drone piloting skills and this remarkable camera has re-ignited my passion for photography and video, allowing me to embark on a new chapter of exploration.
