A Year in Photos - Sony NEX-5

[whatshins]

I don't think the NEX-7 is worth the extra money over the NEX-5n.

[whatshins]

Amazing images. I'm actually thinking of switching from my Nikon D90 to the Sony NEX-5N. Sorry Nikon peeps.

[Timasu]

@whatshins Thank you! I'm thinking about the NEX-7 for my next camera.

@goramsey Thank you!

I just got this camera today, but I'm am amateur. I loveeeee your photos though and I hope to create a few of my own!

[Timasu]

@awsomeolives I'm an amateur also. I've learned a lot using this camera. Have fun!

[awsomeolives]

@Timasu Thanks for your reply! Did you take lessons or were you able to learn on your own? I plan on looking up tutorials via youtube.

[Timasu]

@awsomeolives I mostly learned by trial and error. Some things like long exposure shots I learned how to do by searching Youtube or photography websites. I'm not good with Photoshop, so I used an online site called Picnik to touch-up photos.

wow!! i'm amazed! i love your photos!! that camera works like magic!! I'm planning to get the nex 5n but it's too expensive! Are you a professional photographer??

[Timasu]

@hopecarlyfaith1 Thank you!  I'm not a professional, just someone who enjoys taking photos. I would like to get the NEX-7, but I can't afford it.

I have the NEX-3. It is amazing, I rarely need to clean up the photos with software. The 200mm lens stays amazingly sharp. I would like to venture outside of Sony for other lens options...what adapter do I need?

[Timasu]

@HomesOfCocoaBeach I only know of the two adapters offered by Sony. It looks like they allow you to use Sony and Minolta lenses.

You've pretty much sold me on this camera. Beautiful pictures. The picture at 1:50 is purely amazing.

And I really like the snail/slug picture. :)

Thanks for uploading this!

[Timasu]

@Mirialiah Glad you enjoyed the photos. It's a great camera, and it looks like the NEX-5N and NEX-7 are even better.

Tim are you on twitter?

[Timasu]

@grd97215 Yes... azeducator

[cipajevas]

omg that is amazing!! how do you make colours like that?? do you use any software or something like that?

[Timasu]

@cipajevas I do some processing, but many of the photos don't require it. The Sony NEX-5 uses a sensor found in many larger cameras. I do simple processing with picnik.com

[MrAdrianPetcu]

v nice, thanks.

what lens it the best 4 video?

[Timasu]

@MrAdrianPetcu I prefer the 18-55mm lens for my photos and video.
