Sports photography is a fascinating genre. In fact, many professional photographers specialise in one sport because knowing the game and its rules is crucial to taking great pictures.
But sports shooting can be a part of your photography even if you’re not a professional. Your kid might have just started playing football and you want to immortalise his first game for example.
Taking portraits with your Sony A7 III can be an easy genre to begin with if your partner, kid or friend is happy to be photographed. And, while portrait photography can evolve into a more complex form of art involving lighting, extra accessories and specific locations, all you need to start with is your camera and a lens.
Using the Sony A7 III for portrait photography is no different from any other Sony camera, or any other camera for that matter as far as the basics are concerned. In fact, many will say that the lens plays a more important role than the camera itself.
The autofocus of your Sony A7 III is among the best you can find today but it is far from the only Sony model that can claim that statement. In fact, all recent Sony E-mount cameras perform really well, with the Sony A9 setting the benchmark in the mirrorless category.
If you look inside the menu, you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of settings. I created this article to guide your through them, help you understand what they do, and explain how to use the autofocus of your Sony A7 III, or other A7 model, at its very best.
Taking pictures at night can be a fascinating exercise, and there is nothing more magical than observing, and capturing the stars and the Milky Way.
In a previous article, we talked about night photography and the best low light settings for your Sony full frame camera. Astrophotography fits into the same category but we decided to write a separate post given its unique characteristics and challenges.
A typical situation all photographers encounter sooner or later is a scene that doesn’t have enough light. To obtain the optimal exposure, you need to choose the right settings and, in some cases, push the camera to its limits.
The good news is that Sony full frame models have great sensors as well as excellent autofocus performance in low light. They provide all the tools you need to survive your night photography session or any other low light situation you might come across.
