Hi guys!

 

I'm from Indonesia and a new user of a6000. My wife bought me an a 6000 a week ago as a bday present and I'm very happy with it. Hope I can learn a lot from this forum ever since I'm a new user to sony camera (before using sony, until now I still use nikon d70s, canon g12, polaroid 600 series, and fuji instax 25).

 

It's nice to join this forum and hope I can learn a lot from this forum.

 

Cheers!

Mangga Mas! Sugeng rawuh / selamat datang!

 

Jakarta is a wonderful place for photography. Very colourful, lively and ever changing. From the pinisi (wooden cargo ships) in Sunda Kelapa port to food stalls in the poorer neighborhoods. And usually people enjoy you taking their pics. The don't carry a grudge when you point an expensive camera at them.  But please reward their positive attitude by giving them prints!

 

Kind regards, success with your photography!

 

Freddy.

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
