I decided to shoot everything with ISO 50 after being inspired by some guy who claims that ISO 50 on the Sony a77 gives you better detail and colours since the ISO50 is not exactly an extended ISO. ISO 50 is , really useful if you want to slowdown your shutter speed by 1 stop without having to decrease your aperture, especially in long exposure shots. Decreasing your aperture pass the len's sweet spot may cause diffraction which results in your picture looking soft.






The Sony sensor never fails to disappoint me in colour separation and DRO works wonders in high contrast situations.


Shooting with Live-view definitely makes you look less intimidating when shooting people eventhough I was holding a rather large camera.



After some outdoor shots I brought the a77 indoors. Thanks to the fixed mirror and electronic first curtain shutter, vibrations are reduced to a minimal and very low shutter speeds can be used with only me holding the camera in one hand. Oh Steady Shot works as well
