wow... tis is something new to me.
achew, u did tis in photoshop? very interesting n unconventional type of photo.

yup..all my processes were done in photoshop...

well..u can call it unconventional...u can say its manipulation(i merged the bokehs)..u can say its deceiving....u can say its not a photo at all..lol....apparently not everyone can accept my type of photos..wahahahaha....but well..i did it to practice my shooting/lighting skill n brush up my photoshop...kinda long never touch any of them makes me forget everything..lol..

Thanks Achew! Will try to keep these points in mind in my future shots. Thanks a lot.

so lets go we buy 70200........

C&C appreciated. PPed.

Thanks for comment. I used F5.6 here. 28 MM, 1/60 Sec, ISO 100.

Just passing on some knowledge from the sifus here =)

Try using a higher numbered F.

But i really like the way ur balcony shine!

Seng_Kiat: Depends; there are many lenses suitable for the A850/A900, but each has its cons.

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG non-HSM - tends to gear strip
Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG HSM - no gear stripping, but a bit expensive
Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8 SSM - at RM5350 it is the most premium, big and heavy

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 ZEN - rare
Sigma 24-60mm F2.8 - possibly discontinued (but smaller, lighter and no gear stripping)

Tamron/Minolta 28-75mm F2.8 - good and relatively cheap, my personal recommendation if you want to skip the Zeiss. Minolta versions have better samples.

Tamron/Sigma 24-135mm F3.5-5.6 - not so bright aperture - but if you like the range...

Tokina 28-70mm F2.8 - rare, but there are a few people selling this.

Tamron 28-105mm F2.8 - huge and rare.

Minolta 24-50mm F4, 35-70mm F4, 35-105mm F4, 28-85mm F3.5-4.5, 24-85mm F3.5-4.5, 28-105mm F3.5-4.5 - cheap compact kit lenses. Most are decent on the A850/A900.

Minolta 35-105mm F3.5-4.5 RS - compact budget kit lens. Skip this, I had one.

Minolta/Sony 24-105mm F3.5-4.5 - smallest kit lens, but weak corners wide open. F8-F16 in studio is excellent though. I have the Minolta version of this.

Minolta 28-70mm F2.8G - big, rare, slower focusing, MFD is a rather big 80cm.

Minolta 28-135mm F4-4.5 - big, rare, heavy, MFD is 1.5 meters, but it is one of the best old Minoltas. Beercan-like images.

Of course, you can skip that focal length entirely, and use just the 50mm F1.4 or 50mm F1.7.

Thanks for nice advice. Will try shooting with higher F number.

What is the best price for the Tamron SP90 and where can i buy it?

Thanks for the comment. This one, I was just trying to play with the settings of the camera. In my next shoot I will try to give more emphasis on story also.

u dont really need to give a "story" for each shots..but at least give a clear msg to the viewer..which one is your subject.. =)

If not mistaken I saw new SP90 for 1.3k. IF not mistaken la.
