lol..i know..but the park has nothing fanciful in the night ma..not much light for me to create bokeh background either..so decided call it a day at 7+pm...hehehe

altho i know recompose makes the focus out a lil...but hell..i recompose my shot like 99% of the time(other than the danbo shots which i did manual focus)..hehe..i don care~ =p

not very familiar with backpack...but from the gears..it doesnt sounds like alot of stuff to me..maybe a small sling would be enough???unless u wanna put a laptop in ur backpack too..hehehe..well..idk..personal pref as i like sling over backpack..hehe..sometimes backpack makes me look like sch kids.. =p

yes..something cannot deny..backpack is alot more comfy for long hours..

u r lucky enough to start it when u r still in sch....lol...when i was in uni..i hav problem to feed myself..how to have extra $ to buy camera =p ok..lets crawl together then..lol..kinda bz with work recently too..so not much time shooting >.<

lol..high five~
my a300 also my first camera after working for 1year..no $ to buy any digicam b4 i go work....poor thing..lol....when i went to taiwan for trip during my graduation..only manage to borrow a 2mp digital camera....its as old as those antique in the museum..

last shot taken yesterday... =)

might suffer from abit detail lost..coz its really noisy after i open it with my adobe camera raw..guess its really the compatibility coz im only using iso400...its impossible to be that noisy..lol..so took me awhile to clean it up..but of coz..in exchange..i lost some details here n there..

yes..all bokehs r original without any slight manipulation.. =)

desat and increase the exposure???

nice edit... ^^

dont listen to him..i nv spent alot also

anyway..kitlens can do wonders with flash...good choice ^^

maybe u can find some "inspirations" from the movie..lol...i always try to get ideas from movie..drama..song..or things happened around me...i find that it gives ur photo a "theme"..rather than just take up the camera n shoot with nothing in ur head..

lol..yea..if i manipulated the bokehs..u probably wont see any cat eye or odd shapes bokeh..there is only borderless round bokehs inside..lol

tammy if u need constant aperture...16105 if the need of range > aperture...

as the name suggest..cat eye bokeh refers to those bokeh in cat eyes shape..for eg



whereas usually the "ideal" bokeh(at least for me) is circular..

yea..the xmas tree infront of ION Orchard...

so thats the one u r talking about...nice sunset indeed!


@destfull
very sllight gaussian blur with overlay(20% opacity if i remember correctly)..and because of noise removal..the photo lost abit of its details..so the skin/hair might appeared to be heavily PP-ed...

see u guys travel around malaysia like easier than me travel around singapore like that..lol..must b fun to go so many diff places to shoot >.<

yea..its the tree at the back..

i have a raynox 250 collecting dust in my bag now..lol...but still..its a good n budget macro add-on if u dont wanna spend too much on a true macro lens...not easy to use tho..u might need some times to get used to it..

have to pay me agent fee..so that i can fund new toys without paying anything =p
