haha... humorous photo!

Found another shot that's worth fixing up and posting. I took this one with the panorama mode of the NEX. Took 2 tries to get what I want. Not sure if anyone has the same problem. My problem with the mode is that it seems to cut off too early sometimes.

Very nice images, Bugleone. That duck looks like it survived a hunter's shot.

Thanks, Streetshooter. :D

This was the first time I went to Yosemite. Amazing place, wish I had more time to go around. Definitely on the list of places to go next. Taken with kit lens.

Nice!!!

Jimmy, these are wonderful photos. I have been on the fence with the idea of selling the 16mm. Even though I've decided to keep the lens now, I've not entirely convinced with my decision (mainly b/c I have the 18-55 and think that is a very good lens). But looking at your photos, I think I...

That's brilliant! :biggrin: Maybe I'm daydreaming here, but wouldn't it be wonderful if they make full-frame NEX? :D I give them another 5 years before that becomes reality.

So... let's try to use the Image gallery thing. English Lavender. [Taken with Tamron SP 90 f/2.5 adaptall. I'm very please with that lens. :D] Edit: so it works! :)

Thanks BBW. Well, I don't want to saturate the image thread with 1 single theme (which is flowers to me) so I picked the ones I enjoyed most. :D But here are a few more. Regarding embedding, I wasn't sure which is allowed and not, so I only used links. Cool! Sisters Transition... Star...

That cow reminds me of the monster in "Avatar - The Last Airbender" (the anime, not the movie). haha... sorry I went geeky on you. After a few weeks of abandoning the NEX (just so I could use the Canon system), I'm back to the small guy. Nothing spectacular though. These are from a garden in...

I like it. Did you process the video for the look? Or it's from the lenses? I mean the old (vintage-like) look.

Ah, yes. Thank you Olli. Wonder why I missed that.

Ok, I'm a bit frustrated with using the Sweeping panorama. Checked the firmware, it's up-to-date (version 03). According to the manual, and this website, you can pan the NEX vertical in sweeping pano mode. But I can't seem to get this to work. When I switch to sweeping pano mode, there's...

And here's another one.

BBW, the photo makes itself (I think that's how it is said???). I just recorded it. :D And thank you for the compliments. It's encouraging.

Simon, I never knew how much work is involved in a b&w conversion. It is a great image too. :) Well, this is nothing of that sort. But one I just snapped yesterday after the storm passed by.

BBW, I think you're correct. Thanks for the correction. Now I learn something new. They look so similar though. Pennyann, lovely shot!

Here's one with Canon FD 55 f/1.2 ssc.

That's "decisive moment" right there.

Thanks BBW. They're called pansies? :D Funny names. I think I should start learning the names of these flowers/plants I take photos of.

So many nice photos, I can't go through them all and comment *sigh*... Here are a few from my first few attempts to use the NEX with either the 16 or 18-55 kit. First, from the 16. From the kit: I posted these in another thread already, but ... :D

LisaO, these are really nice.

On the same thought, Canon FD has many good lenses for cheap. Something like a 50mm f/1.4 can be had for around $50 (depending on the version, I guess). Olympus OM lenses are also a good alternative. I have an 21mm f/3.5 and can't wait to test it on the NEX once the adapter arrives.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. :) Looking forward to see some sweat stains on the camera. :D

I use a Canon 5D as a main body, will downgrade it to a 50D (well, not sure if it's a downgrade or an upgrade). With Canon, I shoot mostly from 24-135mm range. And yes, I used to snort at the NEX when I saw it at Target a year ago. Such a tiny flimsy body with a huge & seemingly awkward lens...

Ah... a fellow Canon shooter, and a Vietnamese American from SoCal too? :D

Heather, you need to go into Menu, --> Set Up. Then scroll up to "Release w/o Lens" and Enable it. Then you're good to go. Back to the discussion about the kit lens, I love it for its range and very admirable performance in good light condition. I haven't used it in low light so I don't...
