Some outstanding photos, Sunny, -- moody with good compositions -- in various 
moods. Actually, I was a bit amazed at the variety of the shots. (Although a 
gallery presentation where I could use a next button/arrow would be nice.)

You definitely have talent. Please continue to hang around the list.

Hi!


Hey everyone thank you for all your quick and extremely informative
responses.  Just wanted to introduce myself a little more
I've only just began to work with DSLR's and I'm a poor college
student :-(.  So after all your advice, I definately want the 50/1.4
FA lens... but don't have $200 to spend right now.  The only lens I
have right now is the kit lens that came with my ist DL, which isn't
bad.  Once again, thank you for all your responses.  If you care to
look at my amature photography,

Great stuff!!! Some really good photography... So it does not really 
matter which term you apply to yourself... It really does not matter...

Beautiful photos Sunny.

I particularly like the pan job you did on "Caught in Motion".  I'm 
useless at panning.


FYI, I bought an A50 f/1.4 just recently, and love it.  if I could have 
found an FA, I would have bought it.  Mind you, after using the kit lens 
and a cheap Tamron zoom, I thought I was just bad at manual focus 
(blamed it on my eyes), but it turns out that I *can* manually focus 
reasonably well, as long as it's with a bright lens.


For instance, I'm not sure that the effect I got on this shot is 
successful, but I did manage to focus on approximately what I wanted:

If you're short on cash, you might consider an A50 f1.7 or f/2.0, which 
aren't that hard to be had on ebay or keh, and are of very high quality.

Sonny, lovely stuff!  You've made some wonderful images there.

About the lens,  I know everyone raves about the 50/1.4 primes (with 
reason), but I got the FA 50mm/1.7 for two reasons:  it weighs two 
ounces less than the 1.4 (minimizing weight is important to me), and 
I only paid about $90 for a near mint lens on ebay, about 9 months 
ago.


Keep posting pictures, thanks!

Some beautiful work Sunny.
You've proven once again that it's more the eye behind the
lens than the lens itself that counts.

Hi Sunny,

I like your style! There are a lot of shots I see there that are unusually 
composed, yet beautiful, even of subjects I would not normally like.  Thanks 
for showing them.  It makes me think.
