@likito

wad is tat two ball?MOUSE?!

hazril: Hot dang, and I thought I was getting a good deal for Keep filters at RM20 last time! (For reverse macro using superglue.)

Any metering mode works. Just compensate if you think it's got it wrong.

ieR: The 16-105mm reaches F5.6 at 55mm.

Izwan898: The F20AM has a wide-angle panel but not a diffuser.

Nashakir: The 50mm F1.4 does have cats eye bokeh but only really obvious on a full-frame camera.

Kul | Mo0: Congratulations!

e-jump: Eagerly waiting!

hokc77: Interesting green tinge!

She's beautiful.
Is the photo post processed (PP) and cropped?
IMHO you need a wider (ie <50mm) and faster (ie bigger aperture) lense (prime or zoom).
I think, since you shoot indoors, if you have a wider lense, you'll be able to shoot a more full-er body subject (ie not just the face, but also your daughter's whole body as well). You will have more options in "cropping" and compositioning your photo.

Maybe a Tammy 1750F2.8 or 1680CZ ? hehe
or Sony SAL35F1.4G

@kevinwee
dont know what is that
@neo_lam
yes

y not 50f1.8? or if he can afford it 50f1.4
"saya mesti pilih!"
a better alternative is the 1750f2.8

Thx.

Nope, the photo was taken in JPEG. unprocessed and not cropped. It was a snap shot, didn't have time to get ready.

It was not because of the lens as I have the 18mm-250mm. I was just too near with my lens zoomed.

I've got a few other subsequent pictures which is clear but didn't get that "moment" that I want. So sad.....

Thx for suggesting the 1750 or 1680CZ.... I've already been poisoned kaw kaw....

Yeah, I'm looking for the 50f1.8 to complement my 18250.....

guys,

what is the pixel size of 12R picture? ...

went tO broga yesterday..

group Shot

wah how many of u guys going to broga hills?

mind sharing the EXIF? the composition is very nice...

Camera: a300
Lens: sal 55-200F4-5.6 DT + ayam PL-filter
Exposure: 1/160
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 400
no PP.

why the bokeh is not smooth. is it because of pl-filter ?(its not cpl. not typo)

IMHO for indoor shooting, 50mm lense on APS-C camera usually not wide enough. That was why I suggested something < than 50mm lens

I did not realize that you have the 18250 lens. That lense should be wide enough for your indoor photo shots... but not fast (ie refering to aperture, not AF) enough for low light shooting. You'd have to bump up the ISO (which A550 is good in handling high ISO jpg) and/or lower the shutter speed (which is not ideal for shooting kids as it is difficult to make them stay still). For outdoor and bright sunny day, the 18250 would be good.
