An hour in Arlington TN

Just a little over twenty-five miles north-east of downtown Memphis is a quaint town square that has taken pride in its historical look. There is a section where they have preserved or rebuilt the town as it was 75 years ago. I love shooting old buildings, and I love all of the towns that have perserved town squares around the area, and there are quite a few.

Low light shots from around Memphis

I recently acquired a couple of faster lenses for my Sony A3000. They were two sigma e-mounts, one was a 60mm f2.8 and the other was a 30mm f2.8. What they have enabled me to do is get some fairly good hand-held, low-noise shots. The camera functions very well up to 1600 ISO and is acceptable to 3200 ISO. These shots were taken within that range. They are shots from around the Memphis area at twilight or darker.

Click on the first image and then look through all the slides.
