Hello people

have the opportunity to create cool images for a company's website. Only I do not have so much experience... and meander through with the auto function of the camera. Now I got a few pictures for reference. These have once created a photographer for the company, but I do not know him and I know nothing else how he shot the pictures.

So now I was handed a Sony alpha 7iii and told to take quality pictures. What setting do you think he used? What lens do I need to get there?

Thanks friends! I really need support :P

Sorry friends. But I do not know why the link should not have worked Olaf? Have even tried it myself, was just with wetransfer... Anyway here is a new link to Sharepoint. Thank you!

I don't see anything especially challenging about those shots, they look like snapshots to me.  I suggest you take the camera into the shop and take some shots in Program mode, using the front and rear dials to change the aperture and the shutter speeds as you judge fit.  If you are going to be shooting someone using a grinder as a cut-off saw, I suggest you stay far back from the action and  zoom in with your lens instead (assuming you are shooting with a zoom lens).  Those molten metal filings hitting the front element of any lens can inflict some serious damage to the glass (tiny pock marks on the glass).  Put a filter on the lens to protect the glass.

Thoki   The best place to get good and free tuition is on YouTube.  There are many videos covering all of the controls of the Sony A7iii as well as the effects of aperture settings, shutter speeds and ISO, and how all three work together (the exposure triangle). Go there and explore and learn.

    • AI sez: The CHIPFANCIER CFexpress Type A 4.0 memory card offers 1700MB/s read speeds and is VPG400 certified, making it suitable for 8K video and high-speed shooting. However, some users have reported limitations in frame rates with this card.  Don't know if that applies, but it sounds similar. Any chance on using/getting a different card? The A7 IV has a ridiculous buffer, it shouldn't slow down at all with a good card. 
    • Make sure camera and lens is updated to latest firmware. 
    • ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.
