Articles related to the Sony α 900 camera.

Now I have a 180° fisheye along the longer side of the sensor.

As we were driving around the main road of Monument Valley we also stopped at the North Window between Cly Butte and Elephant Butte. I just took a little walk to the north east. Then I was standing just north of Cly Butte, so this is the most dominant mesa. The Artists Point is located directly underneath the sun. In the opposite direction of the sun you can see Elephant Butte.
