gjtan: I see that the snowman shot is wide, but it has too much stuff in the background. You could do better with a tele and standing further away.
blowsh: Would prefer #3 but exposed with +0.7 from the current exposure.
d4rkholeang3l: Yes that is correct - TTL compensates for the diffuser and any light-reducing filters. Though
kysham is also right that we often need a positive EV due to the tendency to underexpose when there are bright highlights.
Tilt in #1 tak jadi lah but I like how you've done #2.
amadeo: Please add this to the list:
Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 SSM ZA = RM38xx
Sony 35mm F1.8 DT SAM = RM7xx
Sony 85mm F2.8 SAM = RM8xx
Mikeshashimi: Whoa that is rare! Never heard of a Tamron ultra-wide gear-stripping.
yuhi: Certain lenses are prone to gear-stripping, but they are the minority (with the exception of the Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 DT.)
porkchop:
Mikeshashimi is using a Tamron 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DiII. The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is a faster lens but the 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC arguable. I don't remember which one gets darker faster.
zstan: Thanks! And yes beware the blacks and whites as Alphas prefer to meter them neutrally grey.
kopitiam: You can't choose Auto ISO in Manual Exposure.
The picture would be more interesting by cropping the top 1/3rd and bottom 1/3rd out.x
e-jump: Distracting background is distracting! Much prefer your second shot. And I like #3 (or is it #5?) for the angle. And oooh #6!
SiLVeRClIdGe: Congratulations!
mastering89: Delete to magnify button makes the STF easy! Though it has to do with how you are holding the camera, to avoid introducing shake when turning the ring.
evilhomura89: Go there again with a telephoto lens and get just the lion and the sunset.
ahpingko: Refreshing! I prefer #2.
wha7ever: I like the coal-like cool colors of the rocks. Something different. Though the cropping does feel tight.
fansoption: I like the idea in KLIMS #7. The difference is that the 85mm F2.8 SAM is smaller and it has a SAM AF/MF switch but that's it.
Langham Place #1 is nice too. The others bokeh not so nice.
farhan29: Would crop more off the top of #2. #3 the door is distracting.
nevermine: You're trying to cram too much in a picture. Find a less complex scene, or zoom in on the details.
SoulPower: Lovely! You can DIY your own softbox from soft foam paper, the type that wraps stuff.
8tvt: The F20AM can only be used as a wireless trigger on the A850/A900.
laszlo: I like the color in #1 but in #2 it's a bit too green/cyan.
wingster: I only like #7 - probably would help to darken the ambient more in the other shots.
psychohew: Love #1! Now if only #2 was looking at you. #3 is well done for the effort.
linkinstreet: I was gonna say I liked #1 but after scrolling down I'd say you could crop the plate so the shot is square. #4 is gold!
67zai: You also need a flash.
shukrie: Familiar!
Thank albnok. I think i wont get 85mm F2.8
