On the Water… is a gallery of images of any vessel on the water, near the water, or a bridge going over the water. I have used many aps-c and full frame camera bodies and lenses over the years. I have a tendency in haste to upgrade to newer bodies... The Sony a7c is one of those cameras. I loved it when I first tried it out even though I was, and still am, a Canon faithful at heart, but Sony has become a close tie for me. I upgraded to the Sony a7c Mk II when it was released and was not very pleased with the overall look of the camera itself, (I know, but little details tend to bug me at times), but more importantly, I wasn’t happy with the image quality from the higher megapixel sensor. More megapixels does not equate to better pictures. I recently tried out the Fujifilm X-E5 which is an aps-c body and I was not pleased with the aesthetics, functions, and image quality of that camera. I was interested because of their film sims. What I didn’t know what that they only work when you shoot in JPG. I did so and found the images to be too baked and the shadows were too strong. I had to use the RAW files instead and even with my own Lightroom editing, I found the shadows to be too strong and the highlights were too dull and washed out. I didn’t keep that camera long enough to take any photos over water, so this is just background info.

TIP: For those of you who have moved onto shooting with a Full Frame camera, do not make the mistake that I have made. Don’t use crop sensor lenses on your camera. Many of these pictures were taken with such a lens (i.e.; Tamron E 18-300mm). Sure you can get 450mm, but it’s like shooting a 300mm FF lens and then cropping in. And in reality, you will get a better image that way because mounting a crop lens on your full frame body will decrease your megapixels. For the Sony, my images were decreased to about 15-17 megapixels.
