QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Apr 16 2011, 12:19 AM) does anyone know any tips for taking event photography? do i really need a good composition when the lighting is a big problem during night events? You need good composition in everything, irregardless of what genre of photography. For events photography, a flash gun is a must! Don't let bad lighting control you, YOU should control the light when ever possible. Otherwise, crank up the iso or get a big aperture lens.

What sarcasm? Albnok is one of the few people here who owns an a900. Not in the position to comment about problems, will wait for his reply.

QUOTE(67zai @ Apr 17 2011, 03:14 PM) Guys, if you were to choose a lens for walkaround or street shooting, 1750f2.8 vs 16105f3.5-5.6, which one u prefer? Depends on what body are you using and what kind of shots you want to achieve.. for me and my a300.. 1750 definitely... |

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Apr 21 2011, 12:28 AM) QUOTE(ieR @ Apr 21 2011, 01:31 AM) cant be 50mm eh? the subject is small, and so close, it must be some lens can focus that near... 30mm macro? or 100mm macro? Correct answer is tamron 1750 shot at 50mm with f2.8. Quite surprised it can produce such shallow depth of field. And yes, it can focus THAT near.  Wouldn't swap it for any zoom lens in the range man.  |
