Re: apple ipad and photography

No, its a 1st gen wifi only ipad. The EyeFi card I have needs to connect to a wi fi network and the receiving device needs to be on the same network. The 3 Mifi is pretty cheap in the UK (about 50 GBP) and you can use pay as you go sims from 3. One nice touch is that in the NEX and a55, sony have in...

Re: Introduction by way of self portraits...

Thanks for the welcomes. I like the eye shot too. I was playing with the 'easy choice' 30mm MACRO prime - providing you have enough light (and its not so close to the subject that it casts its own shadow across it) it takes a lovely sharp picture. In fact I'm a big fan of all the 'easy choice' prime...

Greetings

Just a quick 'hello' to introduce myself - I'm new to the forum, to Sony cameras and Photography in general. In many ways, I'm Sony UK Marketing Division's dream customer - the epitome of their target consumer in terms of the p&s to NEX to SLT upgrade path, compressed into a few short months. Ba...

Re: A Public Picasa Gallery

David I'd be happy to share the picture - should I just send the jpeg to the email address from my account activation? Re the model shots, I had a great day at the NEC - I was there with a friend, a Canon 60D user, who didn't bring it because he didn't want to lug it around all day at the show - whe...

A Public Picasa Gallery

I just set up a Picasa gallery... I liked the fact it gave my friends easy access to exif data etc and the 20GB space was just 3.75 GBP per year. https://picasaweb.google.com/Dr.Scott.Nicol I'm also trying out flickr too as I get a free pro upgrade with my BT broadband. Same pictures as above basica...

Re: apple ipad and photography

I use the ipad as a wireless 'tethered' shot review device but it wasn't quite as straightforward as I'd hoped. Basically I have an Eye Fi wireless SD card in the camera (and the camera set to RAW plus JPEG shots - Only the top of the range Eye Fi allows RAW images to be transferred) and then (at my...

Re: Friedman's new Sony A33/55 book

As someone who is both new to the a55 and new to photography, I can thoroughly recommend the above pdf book - its a little rough around the edges (a few typos etc) but it does a good job of explaining how to use the a55 - the section on flash photography was particularly useful to me as a newcomer. ...

Introduction by way of self portraits...

Hi I'm new to the site and fairly new to photography in general, so I thought I'd introduce my self by way of a couple of self portraits :D . My choice to ignore the big 2 and go down the Sony path was pretty much an accident which started with a NEX3 last November. I was frankly astonished at how m...
