share something with u guys...

the Falcon Eye DPT-386AFZ-OP

thats mine lar....

yours is still in the box, u want me open to test or u want it to keep as a virgin?

i met "the crow R" b4, his hotshoe cover is carbon fibre if not mistaken and cost also not cheap...

for cheaper solution, go get the Nikon BS-1 cap....

just ask the shop if they have the Nikon BS-1 hotshoe cover in stock lor but price i dont know lar... cheapest i bought is RM7 in LYN but no more liao

from the spec sheet inside the box, its 45 also....


wow! so cheap, which model it is?

Falcon Eye~

the head can swivel 180° to the left and 90° to the right, i'd uploaded some photo in my bulk thread.. can go there see see

Ricoh has just released a newer version lens cap called LC-2. dont know when will it available in malaysia~

according to this site

that guy said it doesnt need any softmod...

read the Operating Instruction CD that come with the LX3, its more details than the booklet.

nope, just adapter + filters + lens hood...

"Forced Flash On" should do the tricks...or set the flash to manual mode, but u need get the right setting for balance exposure.

wrong setting? no big issue, just your photo exposure not balance only. if too bright, can tilt the head and let it bounce from the ceiling and also try pull out the diffuser and white card together... well, its all trial and error to get the right exposure.

this flash should last very long, as long as u taking care of it. im not sure what will go 1st, but i guess its either the bulb or the motor.


here are 2 photo of my son, EXIF is in the frame.
see the difference

this one with flash bounce from ceiling.


this one withou flash.

its FB problem, it auto resize/degrade the photo for faster web browsing and save their HDD space.

hahahah thanks!

its nice, but your horizontal line "senget" already...

just my viewing advice,
your photo exposure is just nice, but like others said, your main object is not focus, too many things in background distract viewer eyes.
next time can try to clear the surrounding area b4 taking the food photo.

but the last photo (coffee) is good, nice color, good object focus. when i look into the picture, the coffee draw my 1st attention instead the book behind...

keep it up

borrow a few pics from a LX-3 kaki, she always has alot of food photo....
*sorry to our muslim friend for the non-halal food photo

just like dvlzplayground said, cropping sometimes will help... but if your composition is not right, no matter how u crop the photo will still give u some strange feeling...

take your photo as an example....


i try to crop, but not the best lar, will be like this...

4:3


16:9
