Sony A35, Sigma 10-20 at 10mm (with Polarizer), F16, ISO 400, 1/100s hand held Very nice scene and defineatly something that pulls the viewer inside the image. -Toni -- Toni Ahvenainen (1976) Year of the Alpha - 52 Weeks of Sony Alpha Photography: http://www.yearofthealpha.com Flickr-account: http:...

Re: Lesly

Well, there's a bit of personality in this shot because of brave pose. Colorful bras do attract the eye.. but I guess it's their job as well. To me this kind of picture calls for eye contact. You could also shoot it from bit lower to get even more attitude into it. -Toni -- Toni Ahvenainen (1976) Ye...

Superb stuff from Birma as always. You need to do couple of mediocre pieces as well, otherwise you're killing us.. :D

Re: Introducing Year of the Alpha – 365 Days of Sony Alpha

I like the details and the story in this one Toni. The longer I look the more interesting details come out. The reflections to show you what is across the street. The person walking away. What the shop is selling. Etc. a really compelling street picture :) Thanks Birma. Your words always count! :) ...

Re: Introducing Year of the Alpha – 365 Days of Sony Alpha

I really like the perspective of the church along with the stained glass lit up and the color of the sky. Beautiful. I agree with Sury on the two images in one. I think the reflections make the shot but then again, without the person walking away the shot wouldn't be as great. Well composed. Thanks...

Re: Introducing Year of the Alpha – 365 Days of Sony Alpha

I like the fact that there are two images in one. The street scene and the reflections seen. :lol: Sury, I've learned that sometimes you have great eye for opening and explaining the image just a few words! It's like you compress what I had in my mind and express it in one sentence. Thanks for that...

Re: Visiting the past in Virginia

I saw this posted today. I have had my E-M5 since May 2012 and it is still going strong. The longest I have used a digital camera since my first one bought in January 2000. E-M5 successor has sensor shift to create up to 40 megapixel images on the fly http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-e-m5-successor-has-...

Re: Tiny sensor revenge gallery thread!

Its a slug. Hah, what tha he.. was my first thought when I saw that. Seems like you already guessed my reaction before hand!! :lol: Might indeed be ababy slug, which makes this image something I haven't seen before. -Toni -- Toni Ahvenainen (1976) Year of the Alpha - 52 Weeks of Sony Alpha Photogra...
