just adjust every setting and test shot with the settings, select the best settings that is nice to you. it's not necessary to follow what settings people use IMO.

google up for tutorial sites on photography, they're really useful. rather than waiting to be fed here. =)

check http://www.prophotolife.com/ they have really good tutorial videos that you can watch, especially on Studio photography.

cheers!

would advice to make use of what your camera can do rather than hacking.

agreed.

I believe that every photographer wants to produce photos that are extraordinary.

or at least most of them.

if you ask me how to define extraordinary, I believe that Great images with a unique personal perception are extraordinary.

I myself do not shoot extraordinary photos, yet. but this particular photo is one I pretty much like, which I think it's extraordinary from all the photographers in the background.


whether or not you like it, it's up to personal preference.

always get Canon if you can afford it =)

I heard from the Nissin staffs that They will replace the hotshoe sensor for Nissin Di622 so that it enables radio triggering. During September, I think.

True or not I'm still not sure.

If it's recommended, just go there and buy. The prices does not differ much, is how you utilize the tool after you buy it.

After Sales Service is by Canon innit? why bother much on the shop?

no I dont think so =)




btw andrew great shot of the tiger

try taking HDR shots of buildings, it works most of the time.

but of course don't choose your house, unless it's a mansion.

around RM450 brand new? 2nd hand price ranges from Rm320 to Rm380

www.shashinki.com has your answer to everything

1st one looked pretty good, but the sunlight is a bit harsh.

well because Nissin Di622 can be used as a slave which can be triggered via another flash. in this case your 580 EX.

Canon 1000D does support wireless trigger but you'll have to get the Radio Trigger System separately.
again you can check www.shashinki.com for the price.

the best bet that you can get is
Phottix Tetra (PT-04 II) 4-Channel Wireless Flash Remote Trigger Set (Trasmitter + Receiver)

Transmitter on your camera hotshoe.

Receiver attached to your flashgun

it's only RM128.00

Added on August 28, 2009, 10:53 pmI believe everyone uses their own setting based on personal taste and style of shooting.

Do your own test as well and choose the one which is best to your own. Takes only 10 minutes of your time to try out the settings.

I use 7 7 4 2 though =)

there's no specific ones.


as repeated again and again. Set Your own as everyone is different.

is that even hard to understand? lol

agreed

no if you were to ask me

Good Morning!



shot with Canon 450D with kit lens at 18mm above eye level.
added slightly bit of green tint on the photos.

it's a stupid answer when you say no point needed to save for a speedlite.
get one , a Nissin at least.

you'll never regret.

purchase with your own savings?
Nissin Di622 is a good buy for starters, like me.
anyhow judging from your nickname, are u born in 1994? if so then I understand your situation with your parents


shot with Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L at f32
