thanks for your advice

will improve this in the future

i find it quite hard to get this...because i always try to get a bit of the stem and leaf....but then higher angle will sometime block the leaf..hmm..that's why i cant shoot flowers tough~

haha. we have a winrar here! yeah, i just found out how awesome the roof looks like


here's another 1. same place, different time:

can also la. again depends on the compo, cos if get stem and leave also get the other distractions then it's gain then lose.

somehow makes me feel like visiting orchid farm.
can comment on my bird pics too? randomly choose one will check the others tmr..dman tired

i went to orchid farm last year - haven't process my pics for so long. always process halfway then got other things turn up.

it's a nice place to shoot shoot.

haha same here...i`m super lazy to process my pics too..i might just transfer it and save it hahahhah...
(ok la...will put in effort to process it tmr).

saw a330 today. i thnk the grip looks pretty comfy compared to a300

quite true la nowadays becoming the official photographer of a wedding osso very hard la coz we are now flooded with 90% of the guest bringing compact cams, camera phones.. duh.. very annoying.. we osso have to fight for nice spot..

my style is i be courteous to allow them to snap first la, but the problem is sometimes the family on the stage doing toast and all, once they're done and the moment gone. then how?

so no choice, have to balance lor. i try try la. make the rest know that "OIHH, i da OP here! gimme ma way!"

yeah.. 24mm on aps-c kenot tahan lah for wedding photographer.. i was once hired by the bridegroom for a wedding shot in Kedah.. the bride also hired a second photog.. and guess what, their kampung house is sooo small that inside their bedroom ngam ngam fit 1 queen size bed only woo.. can only fit 1 photog at the end of the bed.. lucky got 17mm woo.. that 2nd photog cannot even get full body shot leh coz he's using 2470 .. ended up shooting outdoor only..

when i was using 24-70, i also have the 10-20 along. when 24-70 on APS-C, surely need to bring UWA along.

played with the a330 at mid valley this morning... verdict after 20 mins trying the cam out with 18-55 lens... BIG NO NO for current alpha users. It's a downgrade... even for a a200 user to purchase the a330... You're better off getting an a300 or even a a350.

One thing that really ticks me off is that sony has took away the usability factor of the a2xx, a3xx series. The a330 is so small that my i can only grip it with 3 fingers. And worst part is the on off switch is packed so tightly that i keep accidentally turn the camera off when i press the shutter. Everything is too cramped.

Another problem with the new camera is that you cannot change the focus point using the d-pad on-the-fly anymore. To change the focus area, you need to press Fn, go to AF area, select local focusing and manipulate the focus area from there... By the time you've selected your af point.. either your subject has gotten fed up with the time it takes or you've already missed the opportunity.

bottom line... it's not an upgrade.. more like a downgrade..

No official name of the event (yet), but it is during The Lake Walk, Heritage - Flea Market Launching on 13 June 2009

Here are some photos to share

from what i remember (sorry not Alpha user) the A200 / A300 / A350 has that directional controller, the one at the AF button.



that's the change the AF point, right?

after raist86 posted i go check out on A230.....



that's like so stripped!

so raist86, that's what you're saying right? don't have that directional control already.

by the way, the 50mm in the UK is 135GBP which translates to MYR800 roughly.

@chiggy - #3 like face distortion leh.

btw your flash is F58? too bad the focus too much on the girls, car go missing.

#3 at 28mm wor.... like that also distortion ar? I try not to shoot below 20mm because I know the distortion on the tammy 17-50mm
