First Shoot w/my new camera



As you all know my purchase of my Sony A200 was delivered to me in early December and the unit did not work. I was very upset! I personally took it back to get it replaced so I would not have to go through the 10 days of waiting on the post office, and what if the unit fail again, I can't. So I take it over there and being that it is the worlds largest camera store, it took a while to get customer service to help me, but I was patience, being I have the love of the Lord, I waited, and waited. Finally the guy shows up to look at the unit and ask what's wrong with it. I said, it won't come on! He ask me if I charge the battery, DUH!!?? So he goes through a series of back and forth with the unit and after all that, he ask, What do you want to do? HUH!!?? I want you to give me a working camera! So he looks for a A200. He find one like I ordered and then he says to me, You have to pay the state tax on it being that I am picking it up from the store. Well you know I said that I was not paying anything being that I burned gas and payed tolls to get there I thought it was an insult. So he made it so that it look like I purchased the camera and that was it. I made a comment about it on Twitter and the rep from the store responded. I told him what happened and he was very concerned about my situation and made it right by sending me a $25 gift card. That was very nice of him and I am happy with my camera. The photos above are of my model Sade. She bared frigid temperatures for the shoot. It was shot on my balcony with a single strobe through the window and a diffuser. The setting were ISO 100, 1/20, F/5.6,w/18-70 lens. I adjusted to exposure in Lightroom because it came in a little dark for my taste. The weather was a bit rough, we have a blizzard warning so I knew we will have enough snow for the shoot. But it was a great shoot. So until we meet again, Let your light shine!
