Alpha Male Elite 4,956 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: KL	8tvt: Since you cannot buy any more lenses, just use the brightest lens in that focal range that you want e.g. 18mm F3.5, 28mm F2.8, 50mm F1.8, 55mm F4.0 (of 55-200mm). (Instead of using 18-55mm at 55mm F5.6). I like the color combo of #2 but the other buildings could use some slightly more telephoto perspective. death_nite: #1 with the proper WB would be great. I like #3 how it brings into context the baby and mother.

Click here to jump to it! >>>[Sony Alpha F.A.Q<<< courtesy of Ahmike Common Kelvin White Balance Settings: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 2500K - very strong orange tungsten light 2800K - strong orange tungsten light 3200K - yellowish tungsten light 4500K M6 - flourescent light (most flourescent tubes are green even though our eyes don't see it) 5500K - flash 6500K - daylight (or daylight-balanced flourescent light) 9900K - strong blue stage lighting or evening light Xenon lighting is rare but that should be between 7000-9000K. Whenever you enter a new situation that has different WB, just set your Kelvin WB again and test with one shot. You should be able to do this with practice. With the Sony A300/A350/A450/A500/A550/A560/A580/A33/A55/NEX-3/NEX-5, you can use Live View and see the effect of changing Kelvin WB... live! M = Magenta G = Green 2500K = Blue 9900K = Amber Take a picture. Supposing the picture is very Green, you need to add the opposite which is Magenta. If the picture is too Blue you need to go closer to Amber. So if the picture is very blue-green-ish, you will need to go closer to 9900K M9. Removing Pop-Up Flash Effect In Wireless Flash Mode: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To prevent the built-in flash from appearing in pictures when in wireless flash mode, you can use any of these methods, or a combination of them: - use a darker aperture (e.g. F11) - use a lower ISO (e.g. ISO100) - use a shutter speed faster than your flash sync speed so that High Speed Sync is activated (e.g. 1/320th of a second) - use a piece of exposed, developed negative film in front of your pop-up flash Sony Alpha Lens Line-up: HERE courtesy of vcxv Below are the official additional accessories* that comes with respective Sony Alpha camera: Flash hotshoe cover (Sony FASHC1AM) -

From the Minolta 24mm F2.8, a classic. Also, a HTC Dream, the first ever Android phone, with a most interesting slide-out screen! From the Sony 85mm F2.8 SAM, at F2.8. This lens is good!

Alpha Male Elite 4,956 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: KL	I think Iqbal took this shot. Zeiss 24mm F2.0 at close range! croomaniac looking through the Zeiss 135mm F1.8 while I take a shot with the Zeiss 24mm F2.0. Ted reviewing a video. A grab shot, with the Zeiss 24mm F2.0. 100% crop from the A900 at ISO1600. Though I could've gotten more pixel density out of the A55. Regretfully, the lens in this carrying case could not make it to the gathering. Yes, the Sony 300mm F2.8 G SSM can fit in such a tiny box! Once the hood is positioned backwards it is pretty short. It focuses to a record close 2 meters and is 2.3 KG light. In comparison, the Nikkor 300mm F2.8 AF-S VR II is 2.9 KG, and the Canon 300mm F2.8 L IS USM II is 2.4 KG (with the first version being 2.5 KG.) The ND filter shot. 2.3 KG is definitely handholdable though you may not prefer to do so for extended periods of time.

I like the color combo of #2 but the other buildings could use some slightly more telephoto perspective. yes using kit lens for widest range only... which is for the last shot iso 400.. others on minolta iso800.. so can get higher fps.. surprise though noise control still ok..
