wow, like neon city

do adding vertical grip increase stability n photo quality significantly?
maybe Nikon dont come out grips for entry level dslr cos most likely beginners dun nid it?

i mean stability affects the outcome photo rite?

i got the same problem too...
but outdoors and no external flash la
maybe mine is bcos that time it was cloudy?

maybe SB-600 not powerful enaf?

lol, jz jk, no harm meant

aiya, almost wanted buy SB-600 jz now...
but in the end cant tahan temptation ambik SB-900

lol, using Ferrari & Proton comparison macam compare PnS cams wif D3X lor
i got it at RM1680

will definitely have fun wif it!

btw, if kevyeoh's low exposure problems is the exposure bias,
how about mine?
my photos were taken in auto mode
it was yesterday morning 8-10am, outdoors n weather cloudy





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

i was rushing here and there taking pics, no time change settings, so i used Auto

i think the white shirts r not the problem, cos many other pics of people in other color shirts oso gave same results
maybe is becos the area is a basketball court, and the floor is grey cement?



the ISO was auto, even if manually set highest still same

btw, nice pics u have there!

Auto mode...
flash din auto light up...
n wanted save battery, so din manually on flash...

Any downside wif the Sigma 18-200?
y Nikkor so expensive?
Tamron 18-270 AF in lowlight really bad?

walau, RAW makan a lot memory leh...
not only hard disk not enaf, memory card limited pics...
y take pics in RAW in the 1st place if u gonna compress your RAW pics to JPEG now?
it defeats the purpose of taking in RAW...
n wat for have good cam that takes good pics but compress it later?
burn your pics into CDs or DVDs la, or invest buy another hard disk or an external hard disk

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

no problem doing that, if u got large space hard disk la
imagine keeping copies of pics from a D3X at full resolution, dunno how many hard disk

true, my anime,movies,music downloads + now camera pics = decreasing hdd space...
nid spend again, wallet feeling very empty... >.<

btw, i'll be in HK from 2moro for 9 days
await for my pics~!

u mean decrease photo file size or photo resolution size?
