You're right. None of the landscape shots requires f2.8, except for maybe shooting the Milky Way. But it's not something bad to have. You can't find a 16mm lens built specifically for the e-mount whose aperture starts at F8.0 anyway. But the SEL16F28 can be closed down to F8.0....

are u serious???

who needs bulb mode?i use M mode,aperture to widest,shutter set to 30seconds...play around with iso...

Did you take Sigma 19? I'm using that. Besides that, what's wrong with stopping down?
Wow.. Nice work! Feel inspired to break out my own 19

BW vs Colour.
Can anyone advise me which one is more suitable for this kind of shot?

Turn it to infinity?

Hand held or tripod? If handheld maybe motion blur?

which camera u using ? My A5100 when set to DMF, and u turn the focus ring, it will show a scale of focus area, from near to infinity. But then my old nex-3 first gen dont have this function.

If urs is older version, i search about this in mr google before, and the way is turn peaking and the MF assist or zoom magnifier on, iso set to highest, then try to focus manually by focusing on the brightest star.

I see. But there's only 2 ends ma. Turn to one side, it's thats MFD then turn to the other side should be infinity.

This. It actually looked like a cloud passed by while he was exposing the pic.

Have enough to pack it now. But want keep spare money in case of emergency.

Still hoping for a 35 or 50 f1.8 lens. But it's really expensive la. More than half the price of A6000 kit. Let's see if there's any good deals in any of the IT fairs here. Few weeks ago got one fair, Olympus giving extra prime lens that costs over 500SGD on top of kit lens(es) with freebies like dual 32GB card. Samsung on the other hand included free tablet with purchase of their camera. If can get A6000 with some similar offer it's really nice

So fast want persuade ppl buy flash d? Engine haven't order at all, even engine model not decided yet now already recommending me to supercharge my engine

Shot with the SE30mm f/3.5 macro lens. Quite close to the object.
It's not cherry though, it's black grapes actually.

read my previous post on how to get bokeh...

Try make a guess what lens and aperture was used is this



tip: it's also a 35mm

Just walk around the neighborhood only nia.. wont go far far....

just went to nearby park and did a shiock sendiri photo session....

In the end... all pretty bad 

All I know is the Flickr doesn't compress pics or otherwise do funky things to whatever you upload onto it. Other than that your guess is as good as mine.

I only use Flickr to store my online portfolio. For sharing I prefer the no-nonsense-ness of imgur because on my phone (which I use to surf 90% of the time), Flickr doesn't give me the bbcode option for forums.
