This little girl has very dark brown eyes. Is there a good way to bring that out? I didn't "photoshop" these except to crop for posting.

very cute pics of the grandbaby. I'll let Matt or someone post on the PS tips. I still consider myself a PS nob.
 
Thanks Dan. I am open to a lot more critique though .. lighting, composition, etc.

Just want to learn is all .......

I am loving the remote flash. Lot's to learn there for sure.

The beauty of a remote flash is this.

When on a sunny day, put the sun behind the subject, then use the remots flash from a 3/4 on the side to provide a "key" light and a VERY diffused on camera flash for fill. This way you get three point lighting out doors, and if you put the remote on a short rod, you can ge tthe flash out there pretty far.

A peek inside a tee vee studio.
1/60 sec @ f5.6; 30mm; iso 800 (I wanted to use 200 or less but more, I didn't want flash and I didn't have a tripod.)

This video clip is a guy talking about the A900 (now known to release in August this year) and it's full frame sensor. Mentions some nice lenses coming with it.

p.s. If a mod would not mind, could you change the title of this thread to simply reflect the Sony Alpha cameras instead of specifically the A700; similar to what you did with the Nikon and Canon threads? I started it when I got my A700 so that is what I went with ...
