Use those blue eraser and try to erase the connecting pins. (:

AlphaBeta: There is an Antartic landscape shooter who says the A700 keeps on going while the Canon 5D MkI goes flat after 5 shots.

wei_joice: In wireless, it will trigger even if there is an oxidization problem on the camera's hotshoe. Make sure WL is on, on both camera and flash. Make sure both camera and flash are set to the same channel (clean camera hotshoe, then attach flash, and activate WL from body - this will set the camera channel to the same channel as the flash. By default it is Channel 1 of 4 but you might've used another flash that could change your body channel.)

wierd, i test it side by side, i felt the A330 is bigger and brighter(felt like D80's OVF), more confortable to compose, or was it my mind playing tricks?!?!?!

the zoo using vivid mode? the saturation is high making some of the shade of contrast is missing, but still, very nice!

dem.. im really a noob for night photography + flash.. how to take photos at night, making sure that the background is not dark ya?? where do you meter anyway?? tried few things but still fail.. lol..

i always see whats the exp to get the background i wan...set to manual mode...put the shutter for background..and play with flash setting for the exposure of the subject

nice.. got postcard feel..

aisehman.. no nude bunny ka

there is no right answer. first of all, are u using a flash, and where the direction flash if going? bounce or direct or diffuse? even with flash, it will not be able to light up the whole city for u. but just a small area around the flash.

the excate right answer is, "How will u do, for the amount of 'background light' able to be recorded/captured onto the sensor?"

1. long enough shutter speed.
2. high iso
3. wide open lenses.

so, for example, i will start with
1. long enough shutter speed, it is usually used for night scape, where u let the camera enjoy itself absorbing the light from the landscape, creating nice 'glowing' landscape. u will need a tripod for this, and this is not recommended to shoot with a moving subject.

2. high iso, because it will be sensitive to light, not just the subject in front of u, but the background light will be captured (ur flash will auto adjust to shoot at lower power) but people dislike this option, due to high noise.

3. wide open lenses is the prefect solution, because it help boost the iso to Lo.
i dunno how to explain to u, if u have an F1.4, then u can test shoot at ur house with soft lighting around the living room. fill flash, bounce or what ever, shoot a subject, shoot at AP, F1.4, F2.8, F5.6, F7.1, iso auto. DRO off. that u will get a cheatsheet to let u see how each apperture will perform.

if nude bunny...i think i pengsan oredi la while i was there...LOL

thanks Amadeo

another one from me..



CnC r welcomed

mmm no comment, i dunno why, the color dont have ump. blue too dark, red too much. blue+red = purple, where is the purple???

lol..i have no control over the color on the sky...the color was taken as it was..PP done on brightness and slightly saturated..curves/tone not adjusted..

but well..it was a sunset..so moving the card upward wasnt the best solution since the brightest part was at the middle..so kinda unable to avoid the dark blue sky on top..the exposure wasnt really enough..

ohhhh, u used the card trick, lol, the card trick doenst work that way, summore, evening sunset are beautiful to shoot-as-it.. hahaha

the card trick is use only at noon sunlight where the sun is eyesore
or that u have a underexpose foreground... so u boost the exposure longer in front, then capture the overexpose background(sky/sun)

photo i wish to submit for the zoo challenge
