Very nicely done.

Was that a Sony A6500?

Thanks Greg, the camera is the Sony SLT-A65V which has a translucent mirror (ie it's not a mirrorless).


I guess it is actually mirrorless because I've removed the translucent mirror so that no light is wasted. A side effect is that it is now manual focus only.

Beautiful sky colour and great blending of the different exposures. Terrific image!
