clean pics, i like the one with the dog. how do you guys go about shooting random people?

just start shooting like paparazzi?

or you guys ask? sorry if its a dumb question.

 

[elboricua 6]

That's my 1st time shooting people and I had to grow some nuts to shoot random people .. lol

Some I asked - Some just happen to post when I pointed and some I just took ..

but yeah its harder than what I thought, that's for sure

BTW, what W/B was you using on those shoots .. I'm sure it was auto but let me know .. that might be the problem for the saturation ..

it's not the white balance, i know that forsure.

it's just something with the lens

idk

 

[kickmatic23]

some pics.. nothing great... C&C welcome...

 

[tony23retro]

ElBoricua... wow dude... those skyline pics are amazing! Where is a link to your Flickr man...

 

[i just got lucky]

gabe...are you talking about the isolation of the subject in your pictures? like the background is hazy? I think thats just the depth of field.

do you want the both the subject and background sharp?

 

[rap sizzle]

Agh, I really want to contribute to the thread but I'm having way too much fun recording videos right now.

elboricua, i like the one with the kid ducking into the subway. with some cropping, i think it'll be pretty clean.

ourtran, that picture with the tied up crabs has very nice color saturation.

im down to play that game some people were talking about. the one with the weekly assignments. let me know if anything develops.

nooo. not that.

i'm talking about the actual color.

like it's not saturated. idk. i guess there's just too much coming through the lens?

the exif are all in the originals. check out my flickr page for em.

50mm don't mind the lens flare, but if you look, it's REALLY hazy.. idk why?? this lens is pretty old, at least 15 years i think, and i think my dadbought it in hong kong.

and this is with my 18-55mm kit zoomed in.

anyone else have this camera, i know its the basic camera of the alpha line.. any lens recommendations, im about to get a the hvl-f42am flash but not sure if it would be worth it to get the f58am instead...

I have the A300, which is pretty much the A200 plus the tilt screen with live-view. Great camera. I just bought the hvl-f42am this Saturday. I coldn't justify getting the F58am.

I would recommend a prime lens, either a Sony 50mm F1.4 or a Minola 50mm f1.7 if you want to save some money. That's what I ended up getting.
You can also check out the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. That might be my next pick up.

team alpha aka sony OWWWpha oww oww oww www

i have a sony a300 with a few sigma/maxxum lenses. flash i use is the 42am i like it

family poster. i can use MD lenses with an adapter, this was taken with a 50mm 1.7 MD prime through the adapter at f22 and f1,7 respectively. the b/w was atlike f5.6 ..

all shot with a300 using 50mm MD 1.7

stop down the aperture maybe? if you shoot into a direct light source a higher f-stop'll make the light more uniform like how your kit lensdid rather than have the light spread all over

 

[qkslvrtypes]

well since i had nothing else better to do in the Philippines, took some pano's

quite a few of these are sloppy ... please forgive me.

driveway - where i spent my younger days while growing up in the Philippines.

a view from one of the walkways at the largest shopping mall in the Philippines, SM Mall Of Asia

another view

a random spot we found while driving around somewhere in manila

Pasig River

this is more like a stitched image rather than a pano...(consists of 4 photos)

i apologize for the quality. i was only able to bring my XT / Kit Lens / and a buddys' 50mm f/1.8

c/c please
