4 -5 inches from the lens or the sensor? either way is oso quite near... which is nice icon_rolleyes.gif
anyway.. i got an unrelated question here... I was wondering if there is any special technique when uploading photos to Facebook... so that the image quality/sharpness will not detoriate that much.... example resizing the photos to specific sizes so the image can keep to its best quality in FB.

I usually resize my photos to 800x600/ 600x800 before uploading them to FB to shorten loading time & FB will shrink the photo a bit to fit their own size..

Any1 got any technique / advice? my Flickr account full oredi.. & oso actually not much friend will go view photos in flickr due to poor local ISP.

maybe you can try estimated the maximum pic size of facebook..

(like print screen then check the size using photoshop or even paint tongue.gif)

then you'll know whats the max size is applicable to facebook..

since too big will make facebook resize its and make it look ugly doh.gif

ermm....i know this sound silly  sweat.gif but i would like to know what does BOKEH means?

terms that japanese people use for the blurry effect at the back or foreground of the subject I guess..

some people are crazy in love with it... photo enthusiast especially..

while for some people they didn't care about it at all tongue.gif as long its blurry effect tongue.gif

I think that even at 50mm F5.6 for both lens ... 50mm 1.8 can get faster shutter speed than kit lens ... correct me if i`m wrong tongue.gif

Woah.. tats whole heavy stuff to understand..  shocking.gif Is that mean the only Alpha mount Tilt n shift lens availble is the Hartblei cz..?? it sounds expensive. but it is available at 40mm F4, 80mm F2.8 and 120mm F4 Macro. I dont understand if to shoot interior architectural using these range... isnt that hard since is not wide?  Other than architectural/landscape/ some product shooting.. i dont see other potential usage of the tilt n shift lens.. (n oso shooting miniature landscape with mini ppl)

a stupid question wish to ask  sweat.gif .. How often do we need to use the DOF preview?? I hv A100 DOF preview button i know how it function but i donno WHEN to use it.. example shooting at F20.. landscape.. i press d button n it darken n show us the actual DOF in d viewfinder...Usually i wont use it when im shooting at F20 since i know everything should be sharp... how bout shooting Food example using F3.2... when the DOF button is pressed.. the viewfinder doesnt darken..n show d DOF at tat aperture... is that mean that d button only useful when shooting at higher F Number?

Thanks albert. I'll bring both then... but i thought i'll be using the A700 with the kit lens (for general shooting, faster response +bigger mgpx) n the A100 with 50mm.. cause can shoot under lowlight condition. Or ur combo suggestion is that Using the 50mm with A700 without using flash.. n making use of the better iso performance in the A700?? Should i get the Tamron 1750 F2.8 before the wedding.. rclxub.gif

achew has style is towards.. japanese/taiwan mtv album style.. hehe but i quite like them.

I can guarantee you that, you still need flash for low light hmm.gif
unless you go for ISO 1600 and f1.7 then maybe you still can get good shutter speed tongue.gif
since at certain condition, fast lens is still not enough to give the result that you need in lowlight (especially when subject like to move around)
not to forget, sometimes in indoor shooting, the ambient light sometimes will give a very not attractive color to the subject, which make the picture not nais at all

So, just bring flash if the 50mm fails you

It is the reason for me to get flash too

hard to get myself into it...
not like compact camera...

use mode "A" then use the roller to adjust the F value to biggest number

note that by increasing the F number .. your shutter speed might become slower, thus not good for lowlight condition.
