I have no idea... Snapped this on 2nd floor while rushing for movie... *OT, Star Trek if someone want to know*
After the movie, he was still there... So, I'm posted here to see any response from that user.
Apparently he was using Cobra and an Alpha with VG...

today already MAY 18, so any new update on the new alpha?

what i know is the ND is used to preserve our object without turning it to silhouette but still manage to capture the sun. correct me if im wrong

yeah where uh? anybody knows....?

sorry mushpop, i editted the post because i mis-posted haha.
hmm...ND is just to reduce light isnt it

basically yes...that is ND function. Preserve your object while maintain other brightly exposed to be seen like what your eyes see. Good for slow shuttering at daylight, scenery pics. Also got graduated (like gradient) ND

ND is used to reduce light without effecting the color balancing, this is mainly (as i know) for achieving long exposure (to take waterfall/beach picture - making the water 'soft')

to avoid subject turning into silhouette, u meter the subject's face then focus n snap. or u could meter the sky, and a flash toward ur subject. (techniques i read)

hope this helps.

damn, totally passed out last night.couldnt remember a thing. i tot my a300 was stolen last night. luckily got good samaritan help me to hide my cam in my car spare tyre compartment.

i learned my lesson... dslr + alcohol not compatible with each other

lol kopitiam... tot u only hang around kopitiam only

anyway.

"To help users take better shots with flash, Sony offers an affordable, compact external flash unit (model HVL-F20AM) that is simple to operate. Unlike a camera’s built-in flash, this external flash provides higher output (Guide Number 20), and enables users to bounce light off the ceiling to eliminate harsh shadows and achieve more even illumination when shooting indoors."

So far I've known that the new flash can do bounce.

"# The SAL-50F18 portrait lens will cost about $150.
# The HVL-F20AM flash will cost about $130."

20GN is quite ok isn't it? like 1/2 power in F42 right?

iinm our pop-up flash gn is 11... 130 usd = 462 myr.. worth it ka??
but the bounce thingy is better than flash direct with our pop-up 1 rite...

in fact i`m pretty interested with that flash.its good when u are traveling:)

hurm... i guess the street price is going to be lower than that... maybe... but its a fun toy! wireless with multiple flash is now cheaper~~

edit: (if the flash can wireless lah)

hi guys, wanna ask something.

I read somewhere in one the threads that fixed appeture lens has a faster focusing speed compare to non fixed lens.

Assuming i'm comparing Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 HSM against Sony 70-300 G. With camera setting fixed, focal length at 200mm, 1/500, f9 for example; would the Sigma still focus faster than the Sony G?

python?
