prepared my gear to stay on my roof to shoot....

That would be 5am-6am..later. some info i got from other website... hahaha.. I knew u will be d best to shoot this.. Somemore u r in sarawak.. d sky is so much clearer than here.. n u KNow d technique of how to do it. Hope u can snap a nice photo

Im thinking to shoot first but donno wats d set up.. Zoom lens beercan 210mm? 50mm? or 17m Wide? Focusing to infinity is how? ...

well, travel to a dark place first. what u need is F2.8, u need lots of power to absorc the light, u dont plan to use higher iso then 400, and shutter speed longer then 1sec (heats up the sensor)

if u are using F2.8, u sure need so shoot at wide then zoom, because u need the best DOF possible.

v1rtual: The Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro is popular because it is a cheaper insect macro lens.

On full-frame it is very close to the classic portrait focal length of 85mm. 100mm is a fair bit longer. Also, 100mm on APS-C as a walkaround seems a bit in-between.

achew: I like the stormtrooper's expression! Nice humor!

clivengu: 5pm +800 GMT.

i'd choose 17-35mm F2.8 then 50mm F1.4 because 50mm F1.4 has terrible DOF at infinity.

Unless, it is not 90degree upward, maybe i would shoot sidewards, at near the horinzon line... (20-45degree to horizon) if the (question below) then i would use 50mm shooting toward horizon.

btw, it's on the northen or southen or middle of earth when it hits? lol

huh?? me???

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

yesterday went to shoot rally , noted a guy w slr attached w flashgun point upward (flash diffuser On) bounce to the sky shooting those rally car on the field .. WTH


any sample shooting portrait ? . ..

wah cool..must try try this new technique liao

Thats why, Google it up at amazon and saw the price tag can get 100mm lens from cjlai and msn202

naruto, did u get is all wrong? getting A sal100M2.8 can get u SP90+raynox+MCfilter

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

achew: wow, if you say so, that mean sp90 is hell of sharp lens?

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..

yeah2. Converts wrongly raynox msn202 is around 350. May i know whats MCfilter?

Oh.. I thought i a long shutter speed is needed to capture the trail of the meteor like 30 sec or even minutes... So u r suggesting 1sec with F2.8 n as low iso as possible...?


Thanks albert.. i think if im going to shoot.. i'll need to go out at 4pm. to find suitable place.. my problem probably is .. there is no dark places around my area in city.. i thought of going to a taman residential park.. should be super dark.. but safety bcome a concern

Not sure d direction le.. i think d best is if can find an empty land.. with no building whatsoever surrounding it.. Lay ond grass.. n enjoy.. FUyooh.. thr seems to hv no such place in kl..

So its not that good to use it for portrait?

he's using GN10,000 rated flash kot..

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..

Reminds me of Gundam 00 GN generator

@achew : Really crisp shoot. But yeah definitely not a party lens. Every thing will be blurry later on.
