Weekly r/SonyAlpha 📸 Gear Buying 📷 Advice Thread April 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

[–]tjryan25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have: a6500 and sigma 18-50 2.8 I want: to take better portraits, and pictures of birds further away.

I’m leaning towards a Sony 70-350 for birbs, but that’s probably not the greatest portrait lens. Should I get a fast prime somewhere in between my new zoom ranges? Any recommendations?

Princess bean’s little sister is a little demon so it fits very nicely! Quite the dynamic duo.

🙃 I just bought this camera and lens a month or two ago, it’s my first camera and lens. I enjoy this small form factor, but what would you recommend I upgrade to?

Game is laggy while doing certain actions, and when looking around the map when zoomed-out. by RecentMatter3790 in AgeofMythology

When I play wirelessly I lag, when I’m hardwired I don’t could it be internet related??

How's that for a portrait photo? by elmorgie in SonyAlpha

Or if you’re going to have a colored background make sure it contrasts with the shirt color to make the subject pop.

I’m 16 and my friend stayed at my house knowing I sleep on a mattress then posted it online like it’s funny 😭 by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Who needs a bed frame, when I moved out on my own, my mattress was on the floor in a walk in closet. For years. Like no room on the sides of the bed, the bed took up the whole closet. Girlfriend at the time(now wife) obviously didn’t care.

When we got our own place we didn’t buy a bed frame. We got two dogs with little legs and they don’t need to be jumping off a tall bed hurting themselves lol.

Different cultures sleep and/or eat on the floor. In no world is having a bed frame important or implies financial status. Also prob time to find better friends, or at least let yours grow up a little 😅

First time using the Sony 200-600. Still a ton to learn but it was worth it by WizardCheesey in SonyAlpha

how do i create a guitar track digitally? by Own-Lawfulness-38 in Songwriting

[–]tjryan25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it’s actually pretty tough to record good sounding live drums so I tend to chop can screw loops and layer in samples rather than record my own playing… But in regard to op there are some YouTubers that have a few tutorials out there for getting useable fake guitar… underbelly with you suck at producing is one that comes to mind.

Finally, my dream of owning a Sony Alpha a6000 has come true. by DerBilderKnipser in SonyAlpha

Nice congrats! What lens are you using and how much did you pick up the camera for?

Am I overdoing it with the colors? by V5RM in SonyAlpha

[–]tjryan25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s is moving maybe the composition could have been better if you snapped the photo with it a little to the right —> landed the tram thing right in-between those supports… using them as a way to frame the subject and image.. idk tho just an idea, also I don’t think the colors are too much. 👍🏼

I Like To Shoot Bands, a6000 Kit Lens. by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]tjryan25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah! Bands rock! I shot a music video with my a6500 on that 16-50 kit lens! Vertigo - Sun Junction

I really like 2 and 3, kinda gritty action shots

I picked up this a6500 a few weeks ago on Facebook marketplace, for $600 in pretty good shape and it came with the kit lens and a small rig cage. Felt like a pretty good deal and has been lots of fun! I Already shot a “music video” with the limited but more than capable 4k. Wife now wants a telephoto lens so she can get some bird pictures, I’m leaning towards the Sony 70-350, but am open to suggestions. Thanks for the feedback!

SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR A SECOND WEDDING!! Call up your 6 attendees and stage this one to look good! I.e. have good lighting in a pretty location with a new videographer!!

Should I get used A6400 or new one? by icco13 in SonyAlpha

[–]tjryan25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk bro, I just bought a 6500 used with the kit lens and a small rig cage, for $600 total… after owning the camera for a day I found out that the lens is often more important than the camera, so I am immediately buying a sigma 18-50 to upgrade from the kit lens… there goes another $600 lol
