ofcuz more blur. but F1.8 too soft for product picture,need F2 and above right?
i read somewhere in the forum that for F1.8 lens,it is sharp at F2 or F2.5.
For F2.8 lens,it is sharp at F3.5-F4? hope some sifu can teach me too

Can someone recommend me a shop that is selling SB600 for RM750? Prefer near TTDI Jaya/SS 13 Shah Alam.. Or anywhere in KL also can.. Huhu.. I need to buy rechargable batteries somemore

Thanks for the input
But somehow I could not get into interval shooting mode when the camera is on any one of the PASM modes. Can anyone with D5000 confirm this?

Here's my second attempt at time lapse movie taken at 10s interval for 300 frames. The colors are made consistent with photoshop though I prefer not to do any post processing with photoshop.



Any tips on how to shoot clouds?

from my try an error process
higher aperture = higher details
higher speed shutter = sharper the pict
the mechanism inside the lense make the pict to be able bokeh the pict... for example, macro lense has bigger and longer macro setting rather then normal lense.

plz dont tembak me, i jz point out my POV only

In general, the softest point of the lens is when it is "wide open" as in open to the max aperture. So for an f1.8 lens f1.8 is the softest point and it starts getting sharper from f2.8 onwards. For the 35 f1.8 the best performance is between f3.5 to f5.6. In general those lenses like standard zooms that have an aperture of f5.6 at the long end are sharpest between f8 to f10.

Nice tamiya!

i guess bokeh can be explained as macro in a way? lol.. btw, no flash and dark conditions is really really hard, especially with fast movement too.. i took some miss world malaysia shots last night but almost all blur.. lol.

Thanks
Btw,what lens did u use? if longer focal length,then more light lost. Have to set the Ev to +0.7 +1.0 then higher ISO, well,this is one of the reason why i upgrade to D90



Nice video,i think u should use wider angle rather than focus on the cloud only.
Or maybe,have some subject in the picture,like a car or something .(discovery channel use buildings )

Thanks for good explaination!
I always use my F2.8 at F4 because it is sharper and nicerrr.(trial and error)

Anybody do CLS here?

Kit lens only, 18-55 lo.. haha, really zoom (or focal length) to the max 55. will update when resize my pics.

Damn... never know that the best performance will be between F3.5~F5.6 for 35mm F1.8, i always set it around F2 only. Thx for the explain.

eh, D5000 cannot do CLS ke??

should be able..

uploaded, pls c&c!

GReetings,

I wanna ask for some opinion. Anyone here try using Tamron with 70-200mm F2.8 with Nikon D40 before? Hows the performance?

Thanks in advance.

I prefer u buy nikon since nikon have VR, (for Tamron is VC)
i always prefer to have VR lens for longer focal length lens.
just my POV

Thanks for the advice,

Nikon are out of my budget.... Yet, it was a very good lense. I think i'll just try it out 1st before i buy. Thanks.

so if no SB-900 no CLS la on D5000..

yeap,no CLS without SB-900 or SU-800.
Dont want to buy SB-900? Buy D90

already got D300 asking cuz play2 with my friend's D5000 yesterday, cant do CLS with SB600
