  1. You really have a cheap lens :P

    Check this http://alphatracks.com/archives/141 you can get very very decent glass like zeiss lenses and more with this way. I do the same but with Nikon and by that I have way limited choice of lenses because flange distance from lens to body is to big!

    You wont have autofocus or metering but that will force you to get into full manual mode. On ebay you have loads and loads of old manual lenses with supreme quality without breaking the piggy bank ;)

  2. Snow why the F8? I would try with F5.6. I think you would get enough depth of field. Grain here isn't coming from ISO but from jpeg compression. Also that kit lens isn't doing justice to your Sony. If there was wind you need faster exposure to freeze the motion.

    Also on camera flash makes things difficult. A flash diffuser saves the day in situations like this.

  3. Nice ones Alex. Keep practicing your composition. :thumbsup:

    Here are 3 pictures that could be done in photoshop easily but they are not :P I used a flashlight on a string, hanging from a ceilling. I spined it around, put camera in bulb mode and here is what happened. For the colored ones i used colored paper and double exposure.

    All at f5.6 and 28mm. ISO was set at 100 and times vary from 20 to 70 seconds. Next time I'll use wider lens to get all in frame <_<

  4. I've been meaning for years now to get a 50mm Nikkor lens. They're only like $100 to $200 (if memory serves) but I just never seem to get around to it. I did borrow a buddy's and shoot with it. It was nice. Not having the zoom as a crutch is really helpful for working on your composition.

    I got mine for around 130$ from ebay. That's AI version. AI-S version is even better if 3D and unique IQ is preference. Wide open is hard to focus if hand-held but stopped down to 2.8 really starts to shine.

    Like You pointed out, with primes one really needs to think of framing and composition and use own legs for zoom :)

  5. Thx Ruin. That old 50mm 1.4 Nikkor makes sharp pictures. It's only manual focus but the more i use manual focus lenses, the more i like 'em. Right now i have 5 of them and only one AF.

    Old glass FTW! :lol:

  6. Hehe yeah, it's the one behind the camera that makes picture ;)

    Here's my smokin lemon. 8 second exposure shot with some effects. No fire was used at all. Fake smoke... :shifty:

    Needs more work.

  7. Hmm invisible soldiers? :unsure:

    And while the game is free for anyone to play, players also can purchase premium items and fully personalize their experience.

    So poor kids will run with AK's and rich kids with super duper M4 with nuke bombs and 3 mile zoom scope? :stupid:
