may be the exposure bias was turned to -0.7 that causes this

Guys, I got a friend who want to sell SB600 for price range between RM450-RM500 he said. He's still thinking about it. Should I go for it?The condition is overall still good. 9/10 if I might say.  blush.gif

if the condition is still good, that's a pretty cheap price for a second hand SB-600. Jst go for it

Wahh~ RM1.6k?Anyways, have lots of fun with your new gadgets! Really envy you tongue.gif Anyways, i've been searching for an overall lens on the Internet. Nikon 18-200mm VR is my choice but it's too expensive. How about the Tamron 18-270mm?I heard it's good. Around rm1.7k right? blush.gif

Tamron 18-270mm is little bit cheaper than Nikkor 18-200mm. Sharpness is good throughout all focal length. Only problem is AF sucks in low light condition. VC works like a charm, even better than VR

top is original pic, bottom is after photoshoping
y so dark? cos cloudy?
cant b gua, cos wif eyes the surrounding r not that dark

The white shirts 2 girls wearing fool the metering system of the camera. U can increase the exposure compensation to make it brighter.
Usually i'll look at the photo after i take it and adjust accordingly and take the second shoot if not satisfied with the first one

I'm using Sigma 18-200mm. I bought a used one in cheap price, but still like new cos only 3 months old. With that price, I'm satisfied with the pics I shoot with that lens. If u gt fund, get a Nikkor 18-200 or Tamron 18-270 VC

Any downside wif the Sigma 18-200?
y Nikkor so expensive?
Tamron 18-270 AF in lowlight really bad?
*
Downside of Sigma is it's soft at 80-135mm. However sharp at both ends and AF is fast.
Nikkor lens is always expensive compared with third party.

Anyways, guys, regarding my question earlier, what happen if i compress my picture to save hard disk space since I'm already running out of space now?Either JPEG or RAW picture. blush.gif

By shooting RAW, u can control various settings like white balance, exposure and it's the uncompressed highest quality u can get

so if wan compress to JPEG, compress after PP-ing

ya, compress after PP-ing the photo. Keep a original file after PP-ing so that the photo quality will no be degraded again and again after each PP-ing

By the way, new Adobe Camera Raw can even change the white balance and exposure in JPG files. It's really convenient to have that function
