Here
are some samples showing how wide conversion lenses can help
you get more into your interior shots. The first
image shows the A80/95 at its widest zoom setting - no conversion
lens. Other than color correction, these samples are
untouched.
Some
tips for shooting interiors
Use
a tripod whenever possible. Most interiors aren't
bright enough for handheld photography and the built-in
flash is inadequate. Besides allowing
longer exposures than you could handhold, this also allows you place the camera
in the corner of a room - just flip the LCD around so you can compose, use
the self timer, and get out of the way.
Level the camera so it's not pointed up or down to avoid converging veritcal
lines.
If there are windows or glass doors in the shot, try to shoot at a time of day
when light levels inside and outside are close.
Or, (with a tripod), take correctly exposed frames of the interior, then take
correctly exposed frames of the exterior, and combine these in Photoshop. If
the interior is lit with incandescent light, you may want to change the the
white balance to the appropriate setting for the exterior exposures.
