Is there ever a time where you feel like jacking in the NEX with the crappy AF and mostly manual system? and getting a 'normal' camera? Yesterday was one of those days!
Went off to playgroup again to take some more pictures, and after 100 shots, came home and loaded them up. Honestly, if there was ONE picture that was correctly focused, exposed etc i would be suprised. I was using the Helios 58/2, had it accidentally set to High Contrast, which i always find difficult, and some of the parents made me feel I was being intrusive.
THis kind of situation reminds of what I really dont know about photography, and how the NEX offers a steep learnng curve to the beginner. Consider the prideful grin removed.
I include some of the more bearable pics (out of 95!!), but there is something wrong with each:
Both of these are misfocused, but would have been my favourites otherwise
This was really over exposed, I've actually made her look almost grey in trying to correct it
Ok, this is Kira,I take pics of her all the time
Again, Alice is so fair haired almost all the pics of her are blinding (not in a good way)
