A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Tasked with being photographer (alien.top)

I’ve just been tasked with being the photographer for a family portrait that takes place in about 2 hours. Borrowed a Sony a6000 from someone who doesn’t know anything about photography either, so they were of no help besides providing the camera . Photoshoot is outside with about 25 people. Weather is sunny.

Seeing as I know nothing about photography, my plan was to set to some sort of auto mode and let the camera do what I don’t know how to.

Looking for any suggestions on camera settings to increase my odds of producing useable photos.

set it on auto everything and use a tripod. that camera should give you excellent exposure and focus on its own. pose the group in the shade, and take more than one photo.

edit: i'm late to the party. the dudes gave great advice.
