do u know how to access to drive mode? (button beside iso button)

welcome

u could HDR the flower a little more, the leaves (green) are well underexpose to feel the ump, but it
s still very nice

there is built in function in cs4.

File>automate>merge to HDR

it's quite diff from cs2, it requires untouch exif, because it will gain info from there to create the HDR in 32bit. it will not overburn it like those HDR software(which to me is ugly)

after it complete creating it, pls set

image>mode>8bit/channel

to send it back to normal jpeg color range, else u will see wierd color on ur lcd/monitor

suchap69 : i dont know, i didnt install element hahahaha. try find it, if got, good lor

v1rtual: aisks forgot bout that, yup, click OK only. actually i never touch that. post ur HDR pic hahaha

HOLY (#^&$^@, that is WOW! niceeeee, the color is brilliant!

sh|tz, i misunderstood u, i tot u mean u wan proof on the last statement i did of the buffer limit of A550 on raw FPS... lol crap, i need to dig all the history again

*edit: no no, i dont imply that SAM is not fast on other camera, i implying, that the A550 new AF would bring out the best potential of the SAM, older alpha AF sensor werent as good as A550, so during AF-C for say, children running around, it wouldnt use it best potential to use the SAM to AF. mean on older then A550, sam would be fully push to the best potential. so A550 would benefit from it more, or other way around it will benefit more used on A550 then A3xx. no?

*edit2: okay, here to easy understand, the SAM only have 1 speed, not slower, not faster, 1 speed. so even on any camera, it still goes at the same speed (doesn't this sound better? ) what i trying to say is, above, A550 will uses the SAM ability to give upperhand on A550 shooting because of the new faster AF sensor in burst mode, shooting 4fps, with every frame are focused right, then with A300 burst with ever 1/4 has miss focused even with SAM. no?

not just faster, more accurate. there are reviewer tested it intensively, stated that, it in fact, (they declare) that previous model usually will have BF/FF problem in lowlight shooting, where A550 fix all that. seeing A550 has a breakthrough fixing so much of problem face with previous generation and great improvement..., iso, AF, fps, LV,... i think future model WILL be VERY promising. in fact, sony did improve so much in 3 years of acquire Alpha, of what took canon 7 years to do.

so, when u use SAM on A350 vs no SAM on A350, in a burst shooting on AF-C, does SAM will make the AF-C works better?

*edit: do i still have to find u the proof of source? i am tired of reading all the article i been through

Added on November 23, 2009, 1:51 ampic of my day,... since gf not in town, i got the whole afternoon for myself, took a walk and shoot. to me, i am reluctant to shoot sunset, because i been shooting it for the pass 10 month... but i guess, this is some new sight for a lot of people. enjoy



Handheld on a shaky platform (sail/yacht platform) and a good job from the SSS on 50mm ( sony rock when our prime lens has SSS while there is no VR or IS on other prime )

invisibl3boyz, the bokeh make the car like toys car, hehehe nice one. the color for the water+leaf looked fine on my work lcd(5 year old, i think contrast only like 1000:1) for the car shooting, i guess u need to read up bout white balance (if u use flash, read bout gel card)

hahaha so many ppl reply to this, i also wan reply

u ask a sony user, he say sony good
u ask a canon user, he say canon good
u ask a nikon user, he say nikon good
u ask a olympus user,he say olympus best
u ask a window user, he say window good
u ask a mac user, he say mac is god
u ask a honda user, he say honda good
u ask a toyota user, he say toyota good
u ask a nokia user, he say nokia good
u ask a sony ericsson user, he say sonyericsson good
u ask a casio user, he say casio good
u ask a seiko user, he say seiko good
u ask a intel user, he say intel good
u ask those who owns nothing, he will tell u what he hears (same as above)

which is good leh? i bet when u chosen one brand, u say it good anyway. but since u have though of sony, i guess other whatever other says, ur mind has locked there already.

but seriously, the Ax30 model grip is a little, ehem... uncomfortable. but the spec, is far better then any budget range.

might as well save up for SP90 + raynox

Ronnie: last time i check(bout 3 month ago), the minolta 135 F2.8 usually start from 1.6 up to 2k depending on the condition (package, filter, hood). (increase from early this year when it was just 1.6k)... have to dig around real deep to find it at rm1.5k

The Wonder: wow, perfect panning

uhuhuhuh, my fish eye send back RMA, the apperture ring not tight, the apperture will turn back itself to F22 (the spring inside) and the focus ring is jammed. sob sob...

yup, CPL filter

mie_75 & Seng_Kiat: a drybox doesnt mean u have to leave ur gear at home, i find it at night, the moisture in the air raise up to 100% (meaning double up) when raining. so, u better get a drybox, and u can put ur gears ONLY when u at home, exspecially at night (u need to go home to sleep rite?) during the daytime, u are still able to carry ur gears with u out and 'leave' the drybox at home.

dry box even helps when u got ur camera splashed with water, then put in the drybox overnight, i am very sure ur gear are safe, then u go wipe wipe with cloth, put back in bag.

silica does help to keep things dry, but not dry enough to prevent fungus cases. i work in workshop where most equipment part i sell comes with a silica bags (yea, i have over 10kg silica now) and i even seen before a silica pack that is covered with fungus.

the electronic absorber, well i (think) it's the same eletronic parts in the drybox, just u need to get a airtight box (drybox has seal to keep it tight)

MARVELOUS!

5564321 : Carl Ziess FTW.

achew : i think u can go back there and shoot while modifying the bokeh, maybe make it star star, or ring bokeh... (i think u know what i mean)

Congrats!
