i'd spot meter... eg. pic 6, body totally blown out... it's a fashion shoot, the subject is the attire, not necessary lingerie. always keep the main subject properly metered, composition comes next.
try to avoid ppl blocking you from the front if possible. a sudden white 'thing' at the corner of an image is not very pleasing the eye.
and try as much to shoot getting eye contact. it gives much more impact.

example:

ahtsong, the CZ85 poison really kena you kaw-kaw ah?

wat crystel is that??

oh ya actually the night i only use prime lens cause i didnt bring my kit lens rofl..and many photographers squeezing around me lol....

agree bout the part especially lighting....im suffeing coz the venoue is at mist club and the lighting often changes with different colours and blas....got to learn how to get use and change my settings often

if you're using flash, then stick to flash WB setting. it usually does a good job. color shifts can be used to great effect sometimes. in any case the color turns out all funky and weird but the composition is great, there's always a black and white option

what to do....everyone is giving poison....but no matter how i got poisoned, i have to stop buying now as my baby is coming very soon, need to spare some $...


u need a flash gun...not the F20 but F58, even with ur 1.8, flash gun still an essential item.

correct if im wrong yfchin, but i think there's a flash firing. i see harsh shadows at the back and lit armpits, stage lights dun get to light below the arm wad

edit: sorry, just saw in ur siggy that's its an F20..

u r correct lwliam because there are so much flash light triggered by others (well maybe around100++ photographers in front lol)...

so there are many flash flashing around..reflected or watever

yeah..furthermore, sony offers a lot of OEM accessories compare to other brands.
thanks braynumb for the input ..need to shoot more photos..

guys..i have some money allocated for a new gear
i'm looking forward to buy either 16-105/18-250 or f58

who have ball to self service the A700

Ahaks. Putting on flash would be a totally new experience. It'll be exiting. So now screw my 1870 to 50mm for a cheap prime
