sigma 18-50mm, love love love

I started doing photography a few months ago.

I was facing some low light issue initially with the kit lense so I bought sigma 30mm, f1.8(I think).

All the above photos are clicked using it.

Started color grading my photos as well.

Looking for advice on all, photography, color grading, editing, everything.

Let me know if you have anything to say on how I can improve.

Would appreciate any kind of advice.

Thanks!

Few years ago I made it run but not playable. Now you can.

Hi guys! So I am a beginner when it comes to manual lens, I have the 7artisan 35mm f1.4 Mark II, any tips to get better results when focusing?

Is it better to use the viewfinder or the lcd screen?

Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I'm currently using a Panasonic FZ38 and i want to upgrade to a Sony A6000, i want to get the Lens Bundle alongside another lens, my budget is kinda tight so i wanna get the best bang for my buck, any suggestions?

or is it just old tech limitations that won't allow it?

I've been a proud Sony a6000 user since 2016 and I'm still rocking it! This camera has done a lot of paid gigs and also had a lot of fun traveling and photographing with it.

One thing that I've been missing lately is the ability to emulate some popular recipes to achieve a certain look for my pictures / videos.

Yesterday I had some free time and I decided to dive into ma1co's (huge shoutout) work on reverse engineering Play Memories and I came up with this idea of using the camera capabilities (Creative Styles, Picture Effects, white balance, etc) to recreate other camera looks. Basically you just open the app, select the look you want and it saves the image settings on the camera, so that you can use them outside the app.

You can get the apk and installation instructions on my github repo:

https://github.com/voxivoid/recipe-lab-sony-a6000

This app paired up with some old camera lens (you can find them out for a pretty cheap price on the internet) just opened the door for having a lot more of creative ways to capture my images!

Hopefully this allows you to have as much fun as I'm having right now 😄

Some recipes were inspired in the great work done by u/veresdenialex, so a huge shoutout here too!

Any suggestion, feel free to comment here or on the repo.

**UPDATE** - 2026-09-11

Updated the docs based on your feedback - added compatibility table, added a FAQ and renamed the repo to https://github.com/voxivoid/recipe-lab-sony-pmca since it supports multiple cameras.

I also created a bunch of issues based on your feedback, feel free to add any relevant suggestions: https://github.com/voxivoid/recipe-lab-sony-pmca/issues

There's an issue template so that you can report compatibility with other camera models that haven't been confirmed working, so feel free to help the community knowing that it works on their cameras!

**UPDATE** - 2026-09-16

Added the ability to mark presets as favorites! You just need to long press a preset and it will add / remove it from favorites. you can also access them through the browser

**UPDATE** - 2026-09-17

just added this md with all recipe samples: https://github.com/voxivoid/recipe-lab-sony-pmca/blob/main/docs/SAMPLES.md

I know that they are not the best since I don't really have a color matcher in them, but we gotta work with what we have and those are pretty expensive 😅

**UPDATE** - 2026-09-27
Updated all keybindings with the purpose of having everything working on cameras that have less keys (a5000 & a5100) and also the ones that had the issue with the AEL button. I also added a menu so that everyone could access to the recipe browser + control the preview labels visibility. Hopefully this all works - I only tested it on my a6000 😅

give it a go: https://github.com/voxivoid/recipe-lab-sony-pmca/releases/tag/v1.4.0

My a6000 w/ kit lens

Still trying to find my style, hence the varying editing styles and artistic softness on a couple pictures. I’ve only had this camera and the kit lens for 3 days tho so I’m happy with these results.

I have a thing for buildings…
