As i have space in my box, i dump everything in it.... lens, flash, caps, batteries, strap...

I asked this before.... but was ignored ( ).... Do you put yr strap (crumpler ka, neoprene ka, etc) in yr drybox or u remove the strap (isnt this damn mahfan)???

Any recommendation should i get a flash gun first or 50mm prime lens?

ALWAYS get flash first... it'll be the best investment you'll ever make...

great shots..

erm..if for a newbie who likes bokeh..issit still better to get flash 1st b4 a 50mm 1.8? coz i too am saving up for that lens currently..

spam some pics, need some advice and comment

im not sure on how ur going to achieve ur bokeh..

but for me, this is an example of my bokeh..
using SAL1780 (FYI its the lens kit) only, and wirelessly trogger flash to the piala2 at the back..
got bokeh also... even not as smooth as the bigger aperture

so i guest (for me) that flash is ur best choice..
lens can come later, together with the skills

a350; f4.5, 1/4s, iso100


another one is:

wow, all very nice

Thanks for all the feedback.. Sunpak FZ42X on the way.

erm...ahchew, need ur help, I duno how to make the bokeh ball's bigger..please help??



add more info:
50mm f2.8 ISO3200(forgot to reset the iso ) 1/500

use bigger aperture, subject and background distance further, camera and subject distance nearer

but still wants achew to answer

oo..icic..i always had the impression that larger aperture would produce a more blur and smooth bokeh..thats y im aiming for the 50mm..maybe i need to reconsider
still need more time to play around with my camera to figure out wat i really need..better dun rush n regret later

2nd that

i know her since form 2...

yes, bigger aperture = smoother bokeh
but be in mind that the bokeh rely on the distance of the source of light, to the camera's lens sensor..

better go for trial and error.. and see how it goes..
and not everything can have bokeh, but flash will surely helps in a lot!

Love #1, and #3 oso nice compo.....but dont u think the "kiri" sign grabbed all the attention of #2 instead of the model??

lwilliam, sure ka?? my gf + background(christmas tree) really really jauh already.....notice can see the pokok "triangle" shape there already..

or is it, I need 135 prime only can do ah??

50mm f2.8


and yes, longer focal length gives smoother out of focus area
