finejava: Welcome back!

#1 is a lot duller than #2, why is that? Like #3 but #4 could've been far more zoomed/cropped. #7 from a lower angle and nearer point exaggerates size.

lwliam: Nice! Where was this?

braindead_fr3ak: Hmmm, I am not feeling your closeup shots. #2 needs fill light to the eyes stat. #3 looks like a wedding shot.

wingster: Wow! That is something you don't see every day.

alex_cyw1985: Nice #1 but #2 should be shot from directly in front to get a consistent pattern. Crop #4 to a square. #9 also from direct in front better. Other shots not so interesting.

achew: Not quite feeling it for the wallet shot or the portrait. Portrait is shot with a long lens hence the people in the background are nearly the same size as her.

hazril: Good shot, albeit overexposed.

Sheep319: The bokeh and slant does not make it look appetizing.

e-jump: Nice! This is what the Sigma 28mm F1.8 is made for - closeups that look real. (Of course, stopping down would've helped.)

scph50004: Cheap macro - Sony 30mm F2.8 DT Macro SAM - around RM7xx. Meant for food and product macro, not the insect kind of macro. Cheap wide is the Samyang 8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye for RM12xx.

VeRoN_7: Interesting #1 but the choice of background is very important to making that kind of effect.

#3 is almost there, try a different flower.

#4 is fresh, well done! Very unique and you have caught the fountain in almost its best colors.

thanks for the reply bro... looks like i'm gonna have to eat grass for the next few months already...

if really wanna have an entry-level of Macro lens ... well there weren't available but the Macro Lens Adapter ... Raynox 250 may serve you for macro photography in a more budget way ....

looks like i no need to answer for that...

Shooting at high iso kinda intimidating so this is my first time shooting way pass iso100

pic spam:

C&C are welcome.

^ love the last pic with the pink flowers on the tree. gives a bit of an infrared image look.

veron : i love the last one and the first one....for the first one if can duplicate layer... bump up the contrast a bit..convert to monochrome and then merge it should hv a nice ghosting effect...the second one... awesome colours..

Guys, is it too much using liveview will shorten the lifespan of sensor?

I've been reading comments on article at Digital Photography School - http://digital-photography-school.com/sony...w#comment-86344

hey guys... not sure you guys got the updates... they said the streets workshop will delay... but i cant remember wat time is it... i think 2.30? cjlai, soket... remember??

ps: they announced during the heritage workshop

ahhhh... this is where as a alpha user, proud to say, it only applys sensor liveview that used by Nikon and Canon LV technology. this is where Sony Alpha surpass them in LV technology.

sony uses a dedicated additional sensor for LV, the main sensor is safe sitting behind the shutter.
but sony has several unit that able to expose the mainsensor for liveview for more accurate Manual Focus uses. that IF u plan to use MF.

destfull: That's why Sony has 2 sensors for Live View - the upper Quick AF Live View one is the one that will endure long exposures. If you find hot pixels you can use the Pixel Mapping function in your menu.

if not mistaken it can be use on the lens filter sizes from 52mm until 67mm

yeah SAL1855 can be used as well but I think when equip it .. is good to use between 35mm~50mm range
