the color looked fine on my screen..but lcd wasnt calibrated tho...

Guys i just got the confirmation sms for the flash workshop this 5th Dec, anyone else got it? Who else going? Hehehe....

just neutral,... unless u wan to pump up the saturation. (maybe u can use photoshop and use auto-level, see the color diff with ur photo VS auto level one. if there are major diff, what diff, contrast or saturation.) IMHO i think the color a little flat or neutral.

Go for tamron sp90....even DCM rated it as the best. Its cheaper.

ier, okie thanks for your input I somehow felt the colour kinda flat too...btw this is creative style(vivid +1 saturation + 1 sharpness) but DRO+level 2 only

i am still trying to find the 'right" colour setting mix on the A550 though..kinda hard....

porkchop: Looks okay.

Braynumb: Nice #3! Have fun with the A700!

hkhk: Glad to hear. You will know pixel mapping is happening when you turn on your camera on the 1st of December and find that it takes longer to start.

hanafinoor: I think you know better than DCM (though the Tamron 90mm is good.)

erm, sometimes, the color are affected by the room light. if the photo were to over expose more then suppose to be, the color will turn flat too. and color also affected by cheap filters, lenses and many more factor. maybe u should shoot something directly (out of thier packaging boxes) and set ur metering to spot or center weight. if u been to the alpha basic workshop, u should learned at one point where john says the metering is affected by the color of the subject too, when subject are dark, the camera will try to over expose it to compasate, vice versa. shoot around, sometimes, u will still need photoshop or lightroom to do a little color (darkroom works) to it

tamron sp90 are well known for thier money value and good performance. there are better performance marco out there, but they usually cost a Lot more.

not matter of how good is sp90, but the value justified it. i would give a bet that more then 60% of marco user out there uses sp90, go check out blog of marcography, a lot of them use sp90, no matter is sony, canon or nikon users.

Say No To Fanboyism ^^



nothing against any brand yea..just that i happen to have these toys..lol..

Again I bet this doesn't happen for A200..
Lasttime when i found there is hotpixel, i spend hours tried to modify the date several time, hoping for pixel mapping to happens but sadly it never happens. In the end I give up..

This is nice! Were you standing next to him when taking this picture?

Next TT remember let me "molest" your camerna

thanks zic... i was pretty near to him la maybe 1 feet away...

porkchop: DRO tends to lower overall contrast. So if you want contrast turn off DRO.

millenia3000: Nice one! Eh, I thought you bought a 28-75mm?

Thanks alb! That 17-35 I pinjam one
