History in a Golf Ball (imgs)

Last week's trip, I was on my way out of Epcot when I happened to notice no line at all for Spaceship Earth...so why not?! It gave me more opportunity to play with some dark ride shooting with my A6000 and 35mm F1.8 lens, and I've always enjoyed the history of communication, no matter who narrates it!:

Hammering out the papyrus scroll

The high and mighty of Egypt

Muslim scholars who kept the knowledge when Rome fell

Early printing, when pressing had to be done manually

The theater...ACTING! Thank you.

Some guy, painting some roof, somewhere

Civil War over! And now, the press can run on steam

Sending the telegraph

Foxy Brown plays a lab technician, in '60s technicolor

The Woz, in the garage

these all look great! what really impresses me though, (knowing you shoot jpeg and hate post-processing) is the colors and white balance. they look perfect!

Thanks Craig. The A6000 I think really retains nice vibrant colors - aside from better noise control and detail retention at high ISO, that's one of the more notable things over my NEX-5N - the high ISO seems to keep a little more dynamic range and better color fidelity now. As for WB, fortunately that ride isn't quite as bad as HM or POTC, but it still can be fussy - I actually shot most in AWB, but I usually took one or two half-press shutters as I first entered a scene to force the WB to adjust on that lighting before I shot...it works pretty well in all but the worst red or yellow light cast.

Craig nailed it! These are great, and with the no post work (or little) they are super impressive.

I just told my wife yesterday to not let me buy anything for my D7000, I want to get a mirrorless next (but will wait a year or so)!

Many thanks John!
