I remember when the a6300 came out support was added about a week after.

I've been irked by shooting bracketed shots and having to wait for it all to flush before I could look at them. Does the a6500 simply have a larger buffer with the same write speed to the card, or ...

I posted there but my comment was deleted.. If you have back-button focus enabled on your camera (half shutter press doesn't trigger focus), when using the remote control app, tapping the phone ...

Placed 8^th in the challenge. The 3rd night in Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota. At night absolutely no noise or light pollution to be heard or seen. Eerily quiet sitting at the shore line stacking multiple shots together for this final image

Placed 111^th in the challenge. A fun honeymoon through Maine included a quick trip to Rachel Carson Refuge.

Having a larger aperture (lower f/number) means a lens is "faster" and can acquire more light.

The Rokinon 12mm f/2 and 21mm f/1.4 have both treated me well. Keep in mind they are manual focus. http://www.lonelyspeck.com/rokinon-12mm-f2-0-ncs-cs-review/

In general lenses with faster apertures are better for astro. If you've got a skytracker though that requirement can be relaxed a bit because you can have longer exposures to make up for slower ...

Do you have the viewfinder/back screen switch set to auto? Put your eye up to the EVF and it switches to that? If you're carrying your camera around and it keeps switching between the two that'll ...

I went canoeing over the 4th of July weekend, total of 8 days taking pictures during the day and astro at night. I brought along a lead acid battery to charge my camera/phone/fitbit batteries. I've ...

Yes, definitely use the blower, not your mouth :P

Neither the camera nor the lens are completely sealed. Dust can get in from the body or through the lens. If you find it just blow it out, what's the big deal?

Rokinon makes one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/981711-REG/rokinon_16m_e_16mm_f2_0_ultra_wide_angle.html Also a 12mm with a wider aperture: https://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Ultra-Angle-Moun ...

I had the 70300G out from rentlenses this past week! Unfortunately it was cloudy most of the time, not everything has an interesting background.

White balance is controlled by the camera whether a manual or automatic lens is on it.

You use faster aperture with low light, not slower. Read and memorize the exposure triangle. Each corner plays a part, and each has benefits and drawbacks when approaching the extremes. http://sony ...

One thing you can do as a beginner is set the camera to auto and look at the settings it's trying to take the pictures with and figure out why it's using them. If that picture was in good sunlight ...

The second picture was at f/22, which is going to cause distortion in the picture. Why did you take it with the aperture so closed?

Placed 59^th in the challenge. I tried out the SEL70300G lens this week on vacation. It was my first time using a FF lens on a crop body!
