Shooting panoramas with the Sony RX100 Mark VII



So shooting panoramas with the Sony RX100 Mark VII is a bit different.  The lens is equivalent to a 24-200MM on a full crop.  The above shot I had to shoot vertically composing 2 shots together and aligning them in Affinity Photo on the iPad Pro 12.9”.  Colour corrected in Pixelmator Photo.  That’s it, that’s all.  The Royal Dominion observatory has a pretty cool sundial in front of it.

I have to get used to working in Affinty Photo on the iPad.  I have two books that I have to read before I leave for Calgary in April 2020.  That is my goal.  I’m actually surprised the photos were able to be imported from the Sony RX100 Mark VII.  I guess Apple updated its Raw engine in iPadOS 13.2.  I’m actually able to import all the files from the Sony RX100 Mark VII into Photos.  The Sony RX100 Mark VII came out in May and only now does Apple update the RAW engine.

On a side note, I don’t think I’ll be purchasing the Sony A7RII camera, lens and battery grip combo.  I think the Sony RX100 Mark VII is good enough for me.  The 20 megapixel, 1” sensor is big enough and good enough for the photography that I do.  I don’t want to be saddled down with a huge camera and lens combo.  Now that Apple has updated its RAW engine in the iPadOS, the Sony RX100 Mark VII is just great for me. The RX100 VII and the iPad Pro a great combination for a mobile photographer.  I’ve been looking at the Henry’s and Vistek websites and there is absolutely nothing that I want or need for my photography.  I’m probably going to give the Sony RX100 Mark VI to my girlfriend so she can do photography as well.  I’ll just buy some more batteries and another battery charger.
