Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has a lot to learn.

I'm thinking about some fancy chrome ones. The tires are getting pretty worn and beat up and no longer hold a charge of R-22 for more than a half hour.

Or, a "point and shoot" quality user. To compensate for the high contrast between the top of the car and the side, infill flash should have been used to fill the shadow and reduce the contrast between side and top. Set the camera to expose the rest of the scene correctly (eg ISO 100 1/100th f1:16) and the flash at -2EV to put some light in the shadows on the car without washing them out completely. > composition is excellent so it makes up for the poor quality equipment. We only have the word of the OP that the camera used to take these was actually a Sony A350, the exif has been stripped and so there is no way to confirm or disprove his(?) claims. > We only have the word of the OP that the camera used to take these was > actually a Sony A350, the exif has been stripped and so there is no way > to confirm or disprove his(?) claims. Except he's been posting here (dslr.systems) for a while, seems a reasonable person - not a troll, and some of us tend to believe him. EXIF proves nothing anyway - it's very easy to forge. >>>> Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has >>>> a lot [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Or, a "point and shoot" quality user. Many other posts from the OP disprove this statement.

Here: http://photos-of-portugal.com/medium/0013.jpg the lighting is horrible. As if the owner spot-metered on the car. A polariser filter and fill-flash would have helped. It looks like a user error.

Thanks. That's all I wanted to know: how are the pictures, or better, the composition. Too bad other, better camera's don't have that tilting screen. It works great for these low shots! SignatureFocus > Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has a lot > to learn. > > But what do you think of the pics? > > http://photos-of-portugal.com/ I don't understand your "no sharpness, useless IS" claim. First of all to judge sharpness you would have to inspect the high resolution originals, not some resized images. Secondly, on such a bright day the exposure times must have been very short, so IS will not have been used. So why are you complaing about IS? As for the colours if you shoot RAW, the camera output does not matter. And what do you mean with bad software?

It's difficult getting good results when photographing a car on a clear day when the sun is high in the sky. A bright flash or some large reflectors would have reduced the harsh shadows that detract from most of the photos. > Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has a lot > to learn. > > But what do you think of the pics? > > http://photos-of-portugal.com/ Needed a polarizer... >> Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has a lot >> to learn.
