A short break to Germany and Switzerland. I took the a6500 and only one lens with me, the 18-105mm F4 G lens.

Neuschwanstein Castle taken with Sony a6500 and SELP18105G Lens

You might recognise the famous castle Neuschwanstein, it’s probably one of the most photographed castles in the world. I grabbed this shot quickly from the car park, which was lucky as shortly afterwards it stared raining and didn’t let up till we left. Unfortunately it came out a little soft when zoomed in to 100 percent, I probably wasn’t holding the camera still enough as I know this camera/lens combo is pretty sharp when handled correctly.

All of these shots were handheld and taken on the fly. The focal range of the 18-105mm G lens is very versatile, allowing you to capture wide-angle shots or zoom right in for close ups. I’ve not actually used this lens a great deal since buying it, but I’m looking forward to testing it against the Sony 16-70mm F4 that I also own.

If you also love shooting landscapes with your Sony Alpha camera, then I’ve setup the Sony Alpha Landscape Shooters Group on Facebook where you can share your photos with fellow landscape shooters.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started Alpha Shooters in 2017 to share my own photographic journey and experiences shooting with Sony Alpha. The site has since evolved into a popular community and resource. You can also find out more about my story here or follow me on Instagram if you wish. I also have a YouTube Channel but haven't published much content over the past year due to spending more time changing smelly nappies and also launching our community forums. However, I do plan to get back to creating content for YouTube in 2021!
