Errr... you point at the sun during sunset and shoot.

I'm serious man... no kidding. That's exactly what I did to achieve this :



No magic involved, no voodoo.

There's no specific settings that you use. Auto mode also can capture sunset.

amazing, not need to set the aperture, shuttle speed, metering and etc ? just auto-mode and shoot ? .. wow...

sb-600 is very good.

+ fast and reliable.
+ good value for money.
+ light and small. can easily keep it.

- small screen
- complicated shortcut buttons.
- cant be a commander.

but i love it really. hasn't let me down ever

Actually I shoot 98% in manual mode. But that's just me cause I'm a control freak and I have trust issues with regards to the camera's "auto" mode.

But my point is you can shoot sunset in auto mode too... the sunset will turn out just as nice (provided your camera does a smart job of interpreting the ambient light and exposure).

Eh betul tu. Nanti metering auto tu akan expose elok elok je pada matahari tu. Tapiiii.. ada risikonya Banyak ...

ic, but how do we know whether the camera will di a smart job or not d in auto mode? we have no idea abt it right?
since u got experience in manual mode for sun set, do u mind to share ur setting ? 10s
Btw, sometime i use P mode and the picture come out a bit darker because of higher shutter speed ...

D90 already got commander mode in body.

haha......i also saw the mountain being chopped off when i was stitching it, but couldnt do anything coz i din took enough shots the fill up the sides. and the blue tints i think is caused by the sun. shot was taken at 12:41pm. so yeahhh....no CPL filter, no lens hood

yeah, i learned my lesson in stitching too...that is why i will shoot super lots of photo for panorama

that is pretty weird for 12pm when the sun is supposed to be around 5500k ...which is almost WHITE in color..well...perhaps you can investigate what's wrong there ...
CPL is not a must i think and lens hood helps in controlling flare but not colors isnt it? correct me if im wrong

Well you can be sure that the camera will try it's best to produce a properly exposed photo according to the built-in settings. "Smart job or not" is for us to decide. Photography is an art - if your tool manages to (automatically) create your desired scene, then you're a happy man.

That being said, there is no "fixed settings" for manual. Every scene, every subject, every lighting condition is different. Manual mode is like you holding your own paintbrush. You choose how and what your artwork will look like.

So go out and have fun. Start from auto mode, and experiment with the others.

the point is, its past 12 a bit, so the sun was shining at a slight angle. i didnt use lens hood thus a bit of sun shined into my lens. and furthermore, in cameron highlands, the sky look really blue. check out the first hdr image in the sos

10s for the info....need to do some research for more detail bout it....all those flash term i still dunno wat the review toking about...
LOL

apa tu??

commander mode means the d90 can instruct other wireless flash to flash lor

Oh. Thanks. mean if we wan to make the SB-600 to flash we hav to do it manually without attach to the body?
then wat's the meaning of zoom setting regarding with the GN??
i try to google the info bout it but couldnt find it..

commander mode means the d90 can make the sb600 flash without wires. means the sb600 can put at the side, then the d90 can ask the sb600 to flash wirelessly.

but since sb-600 no commander it will able to receive the signal fro d90 to flash meh??

sb600 do not need to have commander to receive.
u just nid to set the sb600 to slave.

then??set it a side(without attach to body) and press the shutter or using the wireless device, sb-600 will auto flash?

do u have d90? do u have sb600?
wireless flash is taught in the manual..
however, just switch on wireless mode on ur sb600,
then set ur channels in ur d90 and sb600..
pop up ur flash and u are good to go with wireless flash....

if dont want to use pop up flash can?
