i feel like its a Code i'm trying to crack..lol..

i apologize .. i'm not here to bash sony .. i just struggle with skin tones , maybe i'm being OCD'ish

with canon it was not an issue at all .,. with Fuji .. its been a pleasure..

However i do miss the Raw files flexibility with sony as well as the sharpness and detail..
Fuji's got a certain "organic" or "analog" feel to it that i really like for People phototgraphy.. but for cityscapes.. theres a certain detail and crispness that i miss that sony gave me , as well as those juicy raw files full of details where you'd think there would be none ..

anyways any honest in puts on weather or not there were improve ments in the before and afters would be appreciated.

if you've got a similar photo at the same venue, maybe we can try to crack the code.

How so? It looks good to me, especially since it looks like you were shooting straight into the setting sun.

Agree with this. What issues do you feel you were having? The reason I'm asking is I just bought this exact flash specifically for HSS on my A6500 and would like to know what to expect. Thanks

Underexposed the background more, camera wasn’t having it. I was on my way to a restaurant and tried to catch the sunset in the front, and the light was gone in seconds, I didn’t have time to turn on HSS and didn’t know how off the bat. Had to pull down highlights in post and add vignette.

Edit: I guess I’m more annoyed I couldn’t just shoot whatever shutter like the strobes

Thanks, makes sense. If you could have turned on HSS it would have given you more options. I'll do some HSS practice today and see how it goes.
