thanks bro.. really help me! since im a noob, hows that simple adjustment makes my pics better? could u elaborate a bit?

can2

1) if u're using 24mm, will create distortion if the subject is too near to the lens. sometimes this is bad, sometimes is good lah. actually need to find balance, but i just recommend 60mm since u get less background as possible. refer to (4)

2) f2.8 is the biggest aperture u can set at 60mm. this one gives the blur effect u normally see for macro shoots

3) er dunno how to explain. sometimes shooting higher is better, sometimes lower is better, etc

4) if background too cluttered, it becomes a distraction and robs attention from the main subject

5) built-in flash sucks for indoors. better use other light source to light up ur subject. diffuse so the light look more natural

wow...nice pic especially first one!

juz because u use auto doesnt mean u shots will be ugly... also if someone use manual doesnt mean his shots will be better

ur compo very nice. with ur skills, take pic using cameraphone also can look nice

guys, firstly i apologize for my stupid question. where i get/check all the prices for lx3 filters and flash? feel like getting full set 1 shot, dslr is way to bulky for me to travel here and there

http://direct.panasonic.com.my

as for the accessories, make sure it stated there can use with LX3

so nice get full set one shot btw, no one poisoning with the wide angle adaptor?

bro, for flash can look at this thread

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry25281134

i am still waiting for 5ppl 2buy the flash

yea, feel like letting go for full set of canon dslr as i no longer a serious shutter. wanna step down to lx3 but then i got enough fund to get all the adapters including uwa fisheye tele and flash.

Some lens will have some chromatic aberration problem... mostly is zoom lens after i extend..
Filter is easy as long as you can get adapter.. not sure in KL where to get adapter..
i get mine in Hong Kong.. flash wise u can join laichong falcon eye flash..

wat abt the ori external flash? hmmmm.... the essential kit for me is flash, uwa filter, fisheye, external view finder and tripod.
