yea..first shot looked a lil bit too desaturated for me..

composition wise..im on moo's side.....it doesnt really make it interesting...or attact the viewer's(my) attention..any specific reason u choose to let those leaves infront of the flower to block it instead of finding another angle?

i normally prefer to "plan" my shots...unless its really once-in-a-life-time moment which i had no time to think at all..

in ur situation..since most of the flower should be the same looking..y dont pick some that r not blocked? =)

i dont really shoot flower often..but if i had time/space to compose..i'd probably choose an diff angle..probably somewhere normally people dont look at the flower from that angle/direction..might get some surprises from there

imo beercan is quite sharp 18250 vs beercan...its like apple vs orange...1 for range..1 for the constant aperture..depend on which one attracts u more...same things goes to beercan vs sp90...totally diff..

i would suggest slowly change to 16105/1680/1750 + beercan + sp90 ..but if u intent to change to FF..den u might wanna plan again since 16105/1680/1750 r not FF lenses...

lol..anyway...i think either one of them should be fine...

sigma should be 105mm if i not wrong..or u mean tamron??

from sigma website

Macro Lenses
50mm F2.8 EX DG
70mm F2.8 EX DG
105mm F2.8 EX DG
150mm F2.8 EX DG
180mm F3.5 EX DG

hmm..never really heard of this one...so i bet would be this is a pretty old lens??since even sigma website doesnt has it listed anymore..

its a true macro..and from my little google result...this lens shd be pretty sharp..

the link in alphanatics..he is selling with the adapter thingy right..so i assume its 1:1 =p

but stil..if let me choose it..i'll probably get tamron/minolta..whichever its easier/cheaper to get

guys..those of u who r experienced wedding day photographer(especially chinese wedding)...usually when the bride/groom r eating...what the photographer suppose to do??walk around to shoot the guest?

shooting portraits last week...this week im back to danbo again >.<



was listening this chinese song..in the lyrics..it mentions that.."There is always a space in between 2 black keys on every piano..if any one of them was taken out,it'd be no longer exciting..." so sad yet true... >.<

lol..large space?

haha..jsut got it few days ago =) finally i have something with expression...hopefully i can make a better use of it =p


btw..what does dayum means ah??

huh?? me???

lol...i never really always following rule of 3rd to shoot..agak agak only..stil apprentice under all the master jedi here..

wah cool..must try try this new technique liao

but using sp90 or other macro lens for portrait..perhaps u need to stand further...else it'd capture wadever details on ur face...i had 1 selfportrait taken with sp90...it even include all the tiny hair on my face =.= end of scrap that shot..coz too hard to edit..lol

yes it is...lol...thats y i rarely use it for portrait...1st thing it focuses too slow..i usually use manual focus...2nd thing its razor sharp when u r close to subject..

can also la..depend on u...maybe it doesnt really fit my style =)

this is the most recent portrait/candid taken by sp90 from me..slightly hard to shoot candid coz had to manual focus..
