judging from your photos, except for the first one, your shutter speed must be about 1/100 and below. And that your hands has not gotten used to the weight of the camera.
Also, need to work on metering, and WB, and composition as well.
don't worry too much about what others say, just follow your instinct on taking photos. You do not become an artist by imitation. Create your own style and build up on it.

Thanks for your comment....and yes....it were all the first few test shots right after the camera purchased...hence still finding difficulties on handling it ....the w/b is one of my identified enemy in photography ...but will practise more...FYI, the last pic was taken using 28mm at f2.8 with the shutter speed 1/320

try tilt the kl tower's pic a bit to the left. a bit senget rite?

maybe a bit of touch up from photoshop might save the day..

Yeah....like the leaning tower of Pisa.... Actually facing some difficulties in holding the camera straight in portrait mode... Just got it a less than 2 hours..will surely practise and take note on this....thanks for your comment....

True that all the picture above haven't been thru any post processing except resizing it...will try to spend a little bit more time on PP next round...thanks

Congratulations to own new gadgets!! you are using F2.8? which lens?

Do share more pics!!

Thank you!!!

It's an old lens, a fixed lens of 28mm

Surely I'll try to post more so that more and more comments will come in and I shall learn from it

i not sure bout Sony, but u think there is an option to turn on the electronic guide line on ur VF right? turn it on and use it to judge 'straitness' of your compo, if your lens doesnot distort a lot, it will be pretty much handy in times such as shooting the tower.

lao eh
ah gua picture also you take ar

Thanks...but neither me know there's any option of that, but will try to find out more in the manual and try it out...

It just so happen that this guy pass by me and I'm not fast enough to take the front part of him...hence only the back part of him...actually he's not ah gua...i guess he looks like foreigner (not westerner or european) to me

SWEET you have a beercan! How much did you pay for it? How come you have a Minolta 28mm F2.8 you're new to this (assuming you had a film Minolta, you'd have your composition practice.)

There are no electronic guide lines, but notice the diagonal corner lines:



Those are lined up to divide the picture in thirds exactly. You can select those AF points by pressing on the keypad diagonally.

Yeah! Albert is my sifu.

Long time didn't touch on slr edy...need more practice to pick up any skills that I long forgotten.... And yeah the beercan is great....it's sharp...i got it in a bundle from a friend of mine....3 lens + 3 UV filters = RM1400 and that's the reason why i got the sony a mount so fast.

Thanks for your sharing info as well....will practice more and post more for judging!!

Yeah...I had read his blog and saw his shots....that's another supporting material for my decision on the dslr......it's great!!!
