Great shots! pictures that involves bright sky seems underexposed by 1/3 stop to me. 1st picture contrast very kau biggrin.gif Seems like someone did his homework and fully optimized the in camera settings brows.gif

As far as i am cocerned, 4/6 overexpose some pix occasionally....i'm using 3/6 thumbup.gif hey, you seem to have the wide angle covered well, i have all the tele stuff.....if we go jalan jalan, it'd be a great combo lol

Yes... wished i could linger around to maybe get somemore shots and maybe a few HDRs, but the weather really... hot... gf cannot stand.. i also cannot tahan actually... hehe smile.gif

the sky not that clear actually... especially the moving clouds with ugly reflected light from the buildings combined with slow shutter speed (makes it look like streaks of haze which is also looks like lens smudge). Which is why post-processing is important to me...! sweat.gif

please continue your series yah!!! i like them as they are of different perspective...

Thanks!

hmm.. not really fully "optimized" la... using "normal" jpeg profile.. never customize all those color mode III, tone compensation, sharpening all that... i leave that to PS sweat.gif

maybe i should try 3/6, after all better to introduce a little noise than blown highlights.. rolleyes.gif

lol.. but wait... you got 70-200mm f/2.8 for me to play? brows.gif

Yeah go HDR with ur tokina....that'd be my only reason to get that lens tongue.gif

3/6 is slightly below overexposure threshore, and i dun need to always adjust exposure compensation, save time mar laugh.gif

Try my settings in a new bank:

Image sharpening: Moderate high
Saturation: moderate
Hue: -3 degee (gives skin tone a more pinkish tone, I hate greenish cast shakehead.gif)
Custom tone curve: (inject it to your camera with camera control pro. My curve adds shadow detail but retain highlights *check pm*)
Color mode: srgb (lazy to PP hehehe)

No lar, 80-200 f2.8 got lar. Not a big fan of VR, I always shoot at 1/FL + monopod if neccessary biggrin.gif
