guys..im thinking...is there any big diff btwn those studio umbrella vs those normal semi translucent umbrella(real/normal umbrella)? if not i don see the point to spend like 100buck on an umbrella just to defuse the light..

im not sure how bro ryzan did it...but for me..i always shoot in manual mode with flash manually configured...tried to set the flash power weaker so that it doesnt lit up the surrounding..and set the shutter faster than it shd be so that only the subject is bright...if u stil can see very faint background..u can always mask it off or increase ur constast/level during ur PP...

haha..i also main main only..if anything i can help..feel free to ask me in forums/flickr/facebook/msn/email..whichever way u able to contact me..i'd try my best to share

personal mail = achewlim@gmail.com
facebook = achewlim@gmail.com
msn = ltchew@hotmail.com


if u cant contact me with any of these...pls try to report to police..maybe im abducted by alien or something..

come moo! lol..but i had nothing to show or teach u tho..lol....wadever i have/know....its all in ur TT there >.<

anyway ryzan..im slping soon..pls show something that is soothing to the eyes..ur alien might cause nightmares...lol

bought it in singapore..so its definately more exp than what u can get there

anyway...1.7 is good enough for bokeh.....it just depend on how u 'setup' ur shots

i got it at 510(with filter)..so its around 1.2k if u follow the exchange rate now...


well..the rule of thumb to make ur shot bokeh-er is always(assuming u r using prime lens) go near to ur subject as close as possible...and make ur light source as far as possible...

welcome to the 1.4 family~ =D

rough guess by the box and the DoF of that shot....and i was assured after i saw ur sig =)

depend on which brand u prefer...

i got myself a manfrotto 190xprob + 486 ballhead roughly about that price...

it looks really really sturdy..all the joints..parts r perfectly fit to each other..which making me confortable with putting any gear on it without a slightest worry..

downsides are its pretty heavy(to me)...weight around 1.9~2kg with ballhead attatched..it couldnt goes down to low angle if u need to macro something on the ground(but its not a prob for me as i had gorrilapod)...and lastly..i think the brand name itself cost a little...

u lost 1 of them??

imo..filter doesnt need to be too good(i don even use it usually)..unless for exp lenses...i'd use it for protection purposes...
