Thanks, I'll take another look after lunch!

This is great, but I'm not sure how to read it properly. Do the hours go 48 hours from now, or 48 hours from the next sunset in my area? (Sun sets around 3.50pm I think where I live). This is what confuses me - if I go 48 hours from now, it will be 9:27am where I live, but the map shows a...

A lot of people really don't like being photographed though. Look at the furore over Google Glass. From angst to bar fights. Has anyone ever had a remark when shooting people at eye level, or otherwise?

Just the original A7 without the in-body stabilisation. You're right, practise will help more than relying on IS.

The missus has decided she wants a Canon (looking at 5D range - 5DS during an upcoming HK stopover looks most likely) but I'm determined to stick with Sony's A7 range. She wants a Canon because she believes the colours are warmer and she's unhappy with how cold she thinks Sony pictures look...

Thought it was a bit too much! They should annotate images like that in the news to stop some of us from having inferiority complexes. ;)

I mean it's a bit too spectacular. No doubt it's been touched up, but to get all those little lightning strikes. What are the odds? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/03/sicily-mount-etna-voragine-crater-erupts-lightning#img-1

Brilliant :clap:

Interesting indeed. I went hard on a low carb, high protein diet this year while marathon training. But I felt like crap most of the time, and I'm glad I'm done. (Gained 6kg since the race too!) Want to try something like this as some experienced distance runners are saying that teaching your...

I guess it was a silly question in retrospect :oops: :$ Like you say I'll do the groundwork and see! I turned off the Steadyshot option in my cam and took some pics, then turned it on and repeated (some low light shots indoors while I was waiting for your replies). No difference after zooming...

How high would you put the ISO up in your own use when shooting in low light? Is there a point where you say it's not worth it because the noise is too bad?

Ah okay thanks! That's given me an idea. I can set my kit lens to 35mm and play with shutter speeds in low light to see how we fare. Maybe there's a way to turn of the IS on the kit lens too to see.. will go through the options.

Reassuring that, thanks! Is this lens considered fast enough to shoot in the evenings with a reasonably steady hand then?

The other half and myself have just started getting into photography recently but are already wanting sharper images and a 35mm prime looks like our next lens purchase (only have the 28-70mm kit lens now). Sony's 35mm f2.8 doesn't have IS I discovered as I was about to buy one and am now at a...
