guys, i'm looking for a cpl filter for my 16105... wanna get it before i go to langkawi next week...

what would you guys recommend with a budget of not more than 150? really tight on budget liao...

just talked to my friend in sony center pyramid. They have some stock for a850. List price 6899.. but can go down to 6500 if you can persuade him. How much is it going for at other places arr?

should be 135mm on aps-c sensor.

focal length x 1.5 = 35mm equivalent focal.

anyone using lightroom 2 here? have a question..

why is it when i import my photos into LR2, it'll automatically adjust my brightness to +50... causes all my photos to go overblown... how to remove that auto adjustment thign.

no one uses LR 2 here?

lr 2 can export directly to photoshop for editing.

Some photos from my recent trip to langkawi

1.

At the foothill of the cable car.. I believe it's call Mt Cincang.

2.

3.

Cat just suddenly came out of no where.. quickly turned to A priority mode and snap away... Looks so much like lion.. lol.

4.

Taken at Berjaya Beach Resort... landscape super nice..
Also went to Datai Resort but too bad didn't take photos there... didn't want to disturb the people staying there as it's a super exclusive resort.

5.

Taken at the new marina area on the way to Mt Cincang.

Some compulsory photos from Telaga Tujuh. View is nice up there.. Especially with the clear sunny blue sky.

Photos of sunset from Mt. Cincang.. The view up there is spectacular... It was worth the trip up there... We were told that the suspension bridge was closed.. but after we took the cable car up.. i was surprised to see people walking on it.. It was open. Only 5 of us went up the cable car as the others thought it's not worth the trip when the suspension bridge is closed.. I guess it's their loss

Most photos are untouched other than the customary resizing.. Only played with the panoramic shots by tweaking the color and giving it a old feel.

Finally.. two panoramas from the top of the mountain..

try checking out the sony center at pyramid.. i think they still have 1 more set a700 in stock.. Price around RM 2999 if not mistaken..

erm.. 603-56213360

check if they got stock or not..
usually they'll quote u crazy price on phone as they cannot give out discount.. but go to the shop, and talk to the guy in charge.. they're discounting a700 models cos they want to clear stock.

yea.. will attempt to do it in a few days.. have a couple of stuff need to settle first.

Need to find a better workflow... currently have to switch between PS and Photomatix.... Using PS to create a few frames with diff exposure then using Photomatix to cook them up..

anyone going for the RAMF air show at subang tomorrow?

Can we actually go into subang airport? or can only see from certain places?

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?

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