eddy, morning sessions are a whole new experience. during that time, u can slowly prepare yourself, look for angle, take your time composing, test lights and all.... when the groom reaches, that's when it gets major hectic...

clive, leica is using four thirds as well. they will be the same mount.

yeah, that once in a lifetime day is very important to the couple, we should treat ourselves as professionals when given the job, don't go screwing around, imagine your own wedding, when results are out, imagine how disappointed you will be when you see the end product is even worse than your lowest expectations.

didnt you research on your photographer before hiring? on how is his consistency, experience, shooting style etc?
sometimes, its not worth paying a few hundred bucks less, but quality can basically go down the drain.

even if my parents say they good also, i make sure i make a thorough research on his work before approving
parent's taste may not be the same as our owns'.
most importantly, is you're happy, your wedding, not your parents wedding LOL...
if like that, i got so many uncles shooting since the film days also, but comes to wedding, i dont think any of them can take up the task with my expectations.
in fact, i have a couple of wedding shooters in my list to choose from d. pretty awesome work which i adore.

its a very versatile lens, the ONLY hiccup i have on this lens is that its f/2.8, wish it could be faster
its considerably sharp right till the edges on apsc, havent tried on FF.
its actually about the same as human's eye FoV. u look inside viewfinder with right eye, and open your left eye, you will see identical sized objects.
the 28 f2.8 is a good deal if u get it below RM400, i got mine at around 400 as well. considering the 24 f2.8 is 700+ outside... in fact, this lens was stuck to my camera for more than 3 months without coming off when i 1st got it it can be wide if u want it to be, and its short MFD allows u to go close to get a closer shot without distorting the image.

Mo0 dah lebih nih...

Sony Expo 2010 @ Midvalley Convention Centre, 1st - 4th April 2010 to be exact, that's why I said I missed it T.T

they initially emailed me to ask me if i can submit some photos.. then they said they will blow up the photo to be shown to public, so they asked for my consent if that is ok, so i said ok. i asked where will it be shown, they said not sure yet.. and thats the last i heard of it... then its only now i know where it is, and its from a friend's FB (minimuffin) pic i knew.. sad ler

AceCombat, nope not possible with Alphas as of now....

acecombat, for a frequent shooter, the camera probably can last you 4-5 years, which at that time i think your cam will dunno be how antique d...

fansoption, someone from Sony asked me to submit some pics to them...

but that lens is already out sooo long ago what..

mastering, for food, your white balance MUST be correct. easily done with us alphas, coz can custom WB on a white card or tissue at restaurants. then overexpose by 1/3 stop, that should be fine

Camera: Sony DSLR-A700
Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/6.3
Focal Length: 60 mm
ISO Speed: 800
Exposure Bias: +0.7 EV
if not mistaken, was using my Sigma

its not that others cannot custom WB, some will take a heck load of button pressing to access the WB settings, some of their lower end ones are ALL presets only and some only can use the color graph that looks like an X-Y axis graph.
