Saw this in the self portrait thread

Very nice lighting.

Mind to share how you did it?

The thread has been about wide angle. Curious, anyone had an idea where I can loan/rent a lens? Need a wide angle

Albert: RWMF2009 is just 9 days away. You'll be there, right?

SpOOkY: Looking at the picture again, I think you got the wrong idea where to take the picture. I would go tele from then on. Notice the kids on the darker house? You can make it a documentary-style thing. And yes, give them some loose change!

Kids are usually camera-shy so you should consider yourself lucky that they swam over to pose!

In your second picture of the village, the clouds are over-dominating. Also I'd rather zoom in on the boat.

An ultra-wide would work if you were looking at a scene that was far more plain than this one, e.g. plain green grass field and blue sky. Here, I just see a load of detail crammed down there. Get in on it!

Also, was it cloudy? The color processing seems to suggest so. So work with the mood of the clouds. Look for the villager who looks up, thinking "it's going to rain." Get a close shot of his/her face looking up. Or find someone bringing in clothes (also signalling rain coming.)

As for the third picture, the greens are correct, but the sky has a strong tint of green. Mask it off and process it again. You are also trying to cram too much in one picture - an ultra-wide-angle lens is going to make it worse!

I see lotuses, a tiny monument (well in relation to the picture frame) and a reflection. And some rocks. But they're not gelling together, y'know?

Yes most rotating front lenses are external focusers. However the Minolta/Sony 50mm F1.4's front does not rotate but it does have external focus.

wha7ever: Went for RWMF2008, not quite looking forward to spending more there. Probably from a musical sense I felt I could just go to the Sunrise Jazz Fest; I guess percussion-heavy music is not my thing. Also the alcohol was controlled in 2008 so it's not quite as fun as it was acclaimed to be. 2007 was supposedly the best but I've only been for the 2008 one. Regardless, have fun! Kuching is also photogenic, amazing blue skies and clouds everywhere.

Woooo finally got my driving license today. (: Anyway So how's the TT going on? More attendance?
