hehehe...i think it's because you wanted to show the clouds in the sky as well, so you pumped up the contrast and lower the EV... picture is nice... don't get me wrong... just the PP was done wrongly... tongue.gif should ask Sifu achew on tips with PP... hehehe

the 1st pic...i think i purposely over exposure abit to show the background...for the 2nd one, i do agree i over-cooked it....thx anyway

A good flash is sure handy sometimes, but I think i would be better of with a good lens.

but if u wanna do macro...flash gun is very essential.

for portraiture also, a flash can help to create some phoro (wireless)

thus for me flash is still my 1st priority after purchase a DSLR

That is exactly what i think of.  I don't really like flash photography.  I would prefer using natural light.  To me great photography is more creativity than the hardware itself.

then how do u handle back lighting situation? and when u shoot during the noon time.....

can see A850 is really affordable FF (though not affordable by me... unless i earn from photography) even A900 oso affordable.
my preferences... i think is a bit over saturated... or the Red r too much.. check d skin tone. is obvious it has been through PP. personally i prefer a more Natural colour with minimun PP.... just my 2cents notworthy.gif

QUOTE(Braynumb @ Sep 10 2009, 04:03 PM)
have to agree here... too overcooked.. too much contrast bro... you need to keep the skin tones more towards the natural color...

thanks you very much....ur comment make me open up and know where to focus one...actually i shoot using vivid color and adjust the level only...din touch the saturation and contrast setting....

should i use Std mode instead of vivid???

You mean get both the 16105 and 50mm f1.7 from u???  tongue.gif

Any comments on the IQ between the Minolta 50mm and the SAL50mm??
*
no la...i won sell my 16105...as i love it...only selling 50mm

i previously own a 18200, but not 18250 b4...i know 18250 is sharper than 18200, but i after using 18200 for travel, i feel that i seldom use the tele end but use the wide end more..

16mm is very nice to use...u can see my travel blog (like under my sig) all using 16105 and 50mm mainly for food.

i din own a SAL50 1.8 b4, so i cannot compare the color

well, papers say that it's a RMAF air show, going to be held in subang airport.. Couple of planes on exhibit and there'll be a Thunderbird air show...

Thing is... can we go into subang airport to see the air show or can only see it from outside?


Added on October 2, 2009, 2:46 pmmy bad.. it's actually subang air base.. not subang airport.

Where's the RMAF base located actually in subang? How to get there?

no wonder i saw a jet plane having training / practicing in the subang air space yesterday....
