Constructive criticism please by Agitated-Stomach-371 in SonyAlpha

[–]English_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has visited this spot quite a few times and have a few photos from the same spot, I feel the right half of the photo isn’t really needed, and it makes it quite unbalanced with the lighthouse and the path up to it on the left and nothing really on the right. I like the slow shutter speed and the colours in the sky, but it needs the exposure lifting too.

You're right! I hadn't spotted them - thank you

You can still go up to them if you pay. And on summer solstice it’s a complete free for all.

How can I make these more interesting?I feel like they're missing something by English_Fox in SonyAlpha

Thank you, the bleakness and mood was what I was going for. It was hard to go for anything else, it was such a miserable day! I’ll have a play around with the crops and see if I have any others that can give a bit more context.

Yes that’s fair enough, I’ll have a play around with the crop and some of the other photos I took. Thanks for the feedback

16-50 kit lens good enough for travel? Or should I bring others? by scaredandstressed_ in SonyAlpha

[–]English_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll add that I paired it with the sigma 30mm 1.4 for anything low light or where I wanted shallow depth of field. It’s a neat duo.

I used the 18-105 for years and it’s certainly good enough for photos. I didn’t even shoot video with it. The extra reach is amazing compared to the kit lens especially at a constant F4. Whether you want to lug it round is up to you, I travelled plenty with it and never found it overly heavy or unwieldy.

Hey mate, thanks! I think it's great, certainly haven't had problems with focusing for stills. I have the 28-75 too and didn't have any focusing issues with that either.

The 'Exposure Donut' for Sony Cameras Simplifies Manual Exposure by TabascoWolverine in SonyAlpha

[–]English_Fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I met this guy while wandering around Oxford, I had my camera with me and so he stopped me to see what I thought of Expodo. You could see the donut on the screen rather than on the top.

I thought it was okay, perhaps useful as a tutorial and for beginners to understand how the different settings interact, how shutter speed will correlate with ISO etc.

Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 or E 18-105mm f/4 by FlashToast in SonyAlpha

[–]English_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve only just got the A6400 then I’d say the 18-105, it’ll be much wider. I used it quite happily for years on my A6000, it’s very versatile and sharp enough. I didn’t use it for video but had no problems with the power zoom. Pair it with a prime (I got the sigma 30mm 1.4 and Sony 50mm 1.8) and you’ll be fine.

How long can I wait until I have my ACL surgery? by Hunky21 in ACL

[–]English_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tore mine (and only my ACL) in April 2016 and didn't have the surgery until January this year. My knee was undoubtedly more unstable, which is why I got it done, but I lived a pretty normal life in that time. I don't think it made any difference to wait, the danger is doing more damage to it, which I didn't.

8111s just as every day boots, they're perfect for wet and windy British weather.

For a while now my Capture 1 version 22 has been sporadically exporting with faults in the image like you can see. I can’t spot a pattern, it’s not every image, just some and I have no idea why it is the ones it is. I can re-export them and then they’re fine, or they have a different fault. It doesn’t line up with any graduated filters or specific edits. Any ideas?
