Interestingly, there has been very little 3rd party lens support for E Mount - http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/ While OTOH lots of support for the A Mount from Sony, Minolta and beyond. They've sold a ...

Wow, that's sloppy.  Fingers should be anywhere near sensors!  Glad you got it sorted...

This, and the edit by Keit both have introduced some nasty banding in the sky.  :-(

"Auto" WB never works right consistently.  It has no idea of the color of the light in the room/scene, or any other variables.  It really isn't helpful to use Auto anything on someone's photo for ...

Don't they get a proofs gallery (low rez non-downloadable?) Those are previews. I agree with the others on time - 4 weeks is very long  - 6-8 is crazy long. I'd go crazy if I had a job sitting in ...

Something like a darkly lit restaurant?  You're not going to light the room but you can cover the group easily.  Are you shooting down a long table of 20 people or across a table of 6?  A small ...

One word - Florida.  ugh.

Flashpoint are the house brand for Adorama.  Many (or maybe all) of the lights are rebranded GoDox (commonly sold on Ebay from China etc.).  Adorama warrants and services them in the US under the ...

Damn you beat me to it! THIS is how you get rid of Purple Haze.....

I agree I think you captured the mood of the ay nicely.   The images generally could use a bit of "clarity" PP clean up IMO, but that's just a matter of taste.

If we only could - the image is a mere 600x900.  :-)

From what I can gather D lite 1, 2, 4 are the same as RX1, 2, 4? 100 watt 200 watt 400 watt respectively - right? I think 100 is really weak and may disappoint. I just bought a couple of these (reb ...

Based on the information in the post I think this is a great start. 24-240 covers a lot, but doesn't cost a lot. Maybe - add a wide fast prime for WA and low light capabilities along the way, But ...

I'll just go with my first impression (before reading the post) and say #2 is leaning a bit towards green... just a tick. The second impression was - this is like the popular low contrast filters ...

This is difficult with limited lighting in a small room - the key to realistic "cut outs" is to match the lighting to the new environment.  Otherwise it might just end up looking cut out.  Not to ...

That's exactly right.  Someone just made some adjustments and saved them as a "preset".  It's not magic - though it may be helpful to look at how these things are done by analyzing the settings - ...

A helpful note on your edit - this is not even close to a correct WB/skin tone.  Just trying to help, not anything else. Were you viewing/editing this through a high quality calibrated monitor? ...

Neither one looks right to me - did you shoot a white balance reference to use in post?  The 2nd one - "orange" one is the worst of the two IMO.

Absolutely was green screen.  Look at the out of perspective people in the BG. As far as lighting - look at the shadows.  First, his nose - clearly the key light was high and slightly camera right. ...

Another approach for the flash would be to leave it on camera and use the TTL capability/Auto more - and just set an in camera compensation level if you find it's too weak or too hot. You can also ...
