I've taken a couple of photos since I got my Sony Alpha 58 in August 2015.

Yes. Deal with it.
Anyway, no idea how many I will post. Just say what you think, be harsh, be nice, do whatever you want. I just want to get better and hopefully some of you guys can help me.
I'll be posting them from old to new, so maybe you can see some changes as well. The "collection" I'll be showing starts in December 2015.

And there we go. My latest photo. I might add a couple I haven't resized yet later. We'll see.

First one is nice
For a Sony
get lower to the ground. lay on the ground during your next session
>>2824087
I'll give it a shot!

Diffraction at f22 is softening this. F8 & zone focus for stuff like this.
Nice composition though
>>2824484
Hmm, never thought about that. I used the F22 to get a slightly longer exposure to maybe get rid of a little more of the wrinkles in the water. Honestly, that wasn't too smart since my shutter speed was still 1/40"... Just noticed that, I thought it was slower.
Thanks for the tip.
>>2824816
(Not the anon your replying to)
In daylight like this, It will be hard to force a longer exposure even with a tighter aperture. If you really want longer exposures in daylight, buy a neutral density filter or two.
>>2829110
Was planning on doing this, although right now I can't really invest any money in anything... Such a shame.
Great stuff, I'd work on developing your own unique style of post processing though.
>>2823938
Not bad, but would have looked so much better if you did a nice long exposure as well.
Otherwise, top shelf photos there OP. Excellent.
Photo thread bump.

>at f22
It's not that you've seen this, it's you reading exif and implying. Diffraction is never a reason to be bothered about, at least there are other reasons which come first.
