With my A6500, A6300 and A6000 I use HVL-F20AM, HVL-F58AM and HVL-F60M. In the menu I set the camera to WL Flash and use the HVL-F20AM on the camera as a wireless controller. I setup the other two ...

Clyde, thanks for comments. Yes, it is amazing how moving a light just a little can change the entire attitude of an image.  While I have been away from this type of photography for a few years I ...

Yep, I like this much better.

Thanks Steve, I like the front of her face lit and the shadow on the side because her face is tall and narrow. Although I will try with and w/o the shadow (I think simply moving my light by the ...

My lighting ration appears to be greater that 4:1. I think I will try to reduce the ratio by making only one change (moving my main light from the RH side of my camera to the LH side). This should ...

Thanks Alan. I was just thinking it would be fun to do a formal portrait of each adult family member (we have five children and their spouses).  I am also thinking of trying to do a portrait of my ...

Clyde thanks for suggestions and kind words. Yes, I will try changes to remove shadow from ear and cheek.  I did not have a background light and it was pretty light w/o shadows (I vignette and ...

Well I moved from a large home 3 1/2 years ago to the condo I currently live in. Actually my condo is spacious but not like the home I moved from where my basement was 42' x 62' and that was all ...

Maybe a silly question but on an A6xxxx camera is there any reason to choose the 24-105mm over the 18-135mm? Not thinking about the possibility for FF (only use on APS-C) what would be the up side ...

OMG, sounds like you have known me for a long time. LOL. Although, I'm not rushing into E-mount FF because I already migrated from A-mount FF and still own a full FF system.  I'm also not a fan of ...

I am considering the FE 24-105mm to use with my A6500.  Reviews seem to be very positive for this lens and I like the zoom range.  The f/4 aperture is fine for most of my photography (even with ...

Thanks for viewing and kind words. Yep, I just had to get out on a nice day and have some fun with my camera.

Yesterday was a beautiful but cool Fall day in Michigan.  I enjoyed taking my A6500 w/10-18mm f/4.0 for a walk.  There was lots of color every but the peak color is still a couple weeks off.  ...

There's no way I would purchase a souped up APS-C camera (especially if in a larger A7 style body).

Yes, I can do the same thing with my Android phone or tablet. The phone and tablet have the operating system to make the file transfer.  I guess the OP was hoping Sony would provide a app on the ...

Great series (especially the barn owl and Lancaster). Don't get a lot of opportunities to photograph a Lancaster flying (excellent fly over shot with bays open).  That is a tribute to the men who ...

Nice series and photos from an interesting place. I enjoyed viewing, thanks for sharing.

I love the smaller body and form factor of the A6xxx but would enjoy if Sony could add a FF sensor (probably asking way too much).  I know the A7III is not so far off of this concept but I still ...

Body shake.

So I wonder how much this would be an issue with the 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA, 16-35mm ZA, 24mm f/2.0 ZA or 50mm f/1.4 ZA? Is this a factual issue (or just a guess / maybe) with these lenses when focusing ...
