New Entrant to Sony Family

[Kanna1808]

Hi I am Kannan Rajan from Heathrow, London UK. I am into photography mostly landscape, travel and occassionally wildlife for the past 10 years and have been a major Canon user - Canon 70D, Canon 1D Mark IV
Had a pretty bad experience during my latest Turkey and Scotland trip and hence wanted to move to Sony.
Recently purchased Sony A7RV and the Holy Trinity 2.8GMII lenses and took it for a spin to Cotswold Wildlife & Gardens last Friday.
I am still struggling with couple of menu options, which should automatically come through with usage. But boy, the image qualities were of a different level.
Posting few of my shots here for open feedback please.

Welcome aboard!

Standard advice for new Sony users. Use the FN menu and then create your own groupings of menu options in the My Menu section (though Sony annoyingly erases this with some updates) as the menus on cameras now have too many options with many being a set once and forget.

Welcome aboard Kannan.

As you've asked for criticism, here goes:

Your first red panda is blown out around the top of the head and ears. Use the exposure compensation dial and see how the image changes in the viewfinder. One of the key benefits for me with mirrorless is the almost wysiwyg view in the finder.

Your guinea fowl has lost a foot. Lovely colours though. Unfortunately, once the human brain has noticed these things, it can't let go of them.

Good effort though and we look forward to seeing more.
