Jen Ong! At 135mm F1.8 on the A900. (Corrected her name. Eep, my bad!)

At F8 ISO200, plus two Broncolor lights, which were meant for F22 ISO100 at full blast, hence the overexposure (and attempt to recover it in RAW.)

But first, we rewind to how I got around to such pictures. It was the Sony Alpha 230 pre-release preview at SonyStyle!

New accessories!

And, of course, the funkily-designed A230.

The A330 was plugged into a Sony Bravia via HDMI to show what Live View looks like on a real big screen! (Pardon the obstructions and motion blur caused by the product manager panning.)

And that of course, led to a little studio session.

There was a competition also – I wanted to submit this picture. I thought it was rather cool that her elbows grazed the frame almost exactly.

Because I could submit more than one picture… this one won. This is how the JPG looked…

…and this is my RAW reworking.

So, I bought a 2.7″ LCD screen protector for my new Sony Cybershot W190!

Thank you Sony, and for the 5 people who voted for me (er, why didn’t you vote for yourselves when you could?) Oh yes and thank you Jen, and thank you George for setting the lights as they were!

Looks like my Canon Powershot A520 is going to be an infrared camera soon! (And look at the difference 4 years makes in screen size!)
