this was shot in DIY lightbox too:)

i've no box. i use A4 paper+white ceiling+bounce+angle= pics.. well.. i myself drool la.. i know u all never drool at my pics one

finally i buy d5000 but not D90 because the screen can rotate

welcome to the nikon world bro. do make sure the lens u buy in future have built-in motor. else u cant do AF with it u'll need MF

correct with SkyBlue99, D90 with builin motor rocks~

If D90 can rotate screen , I ll direct buy it lo.Ya, a lot lens not supported

erk i also always no eye contact. so it not be potrait but candid photo~! coz here u lack of communication between subject and u. for me i called it candid potrait coz i always be 2nd photographer only. hardly to get eye contact

Added on December 16, 2009, 3:03 amspeedlight for sure. 2nd decent tripod, then lens. tripod very useful when to take landscape or potrait. event reli need speedlight (i think every scence except landscape) lens is refer to what u need. tele lens, low F lens, UWA. but kit lens always the best lens for learning process (atleast for me la)

first, get ur pic in focused
looking at your pic, you are shooting at 1/60 for both pics....
the first pic at 18mm should be sharp....but it doesnt really look like its sharp though..
2nd pic at 105mm 1/60 should be sufficient with VR on...unless that lady is moving a lot..
try bursting your shots next time and then choose the sharpest one ....else, u might just miss a shot instead because of camera shake..

sji ke band tu? then that gurl is in Kami Movie right? err.

I got the D90 instead of D5000 because of the build and of course... the built motor would save me money on some of the lens

i'm still learning also.. wedding is not for everyone..

i'd say mostly target the eye since viewer's eyes will target it first, unless theres 'something' else..

hows the macro with the 70300? i bought a cheap2 70300G only..

mau lend me 50mm tak? wahahaha..

u asking me rite? the macro ok lor.. but not true macro.. it is 1:2 macro only.. ok la.. but keep hunting a lot in lowlight.. outdoor no problem.. motor sound terrible.. heheh manyak kuat.. pernah juga pakai G lense.. sharp at 200mm... tapi sian takde moto..cannot use on my previous D40... i sudah jual that G lense... duit tarak, then bought this tammy 70-300..hehe

do u guys think it's advisable for me to get a D90 (w/o kit lens) and a 50mm f/1.8? cuz my gf already has a D60 with kit lens...and i dont zoom a lot

D90 built in motor + top lcd screen = priceless

Added on December 16, 2009, 1:45 pmYes, go ahead.. i have been using with 50mm for awhile.. Only downside is sometimes its not enough wide.. But most of the time its superb..

i would suggest you go for 35mm f/1.8 instead. For me actually 50mm is too tight.

A lot of people saying that 50mm is good lens, yes, but for me actually not that good for DX camera.

actually thinking of the 35mm as well. depends on budget haha. but is it a good idea to forgo the 18-105?

It's depending on what you like. Some people prefer zoom lens some prefer prime. For me I just love my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. hehe..

If you're in tight budget 18-105 is a good choice..

hey guys, i found tat the operating temperature for D90 is between 0-40C. But i wanna bring mine to a place which is -ve degree.. can i?? will it spoilt my D90???

I'm going to Harbin next week with mine...
And i think the only thing to worry is condensation when bringing the camera from outdoor to a warmer indoor.
And also battery life might suffer a little.
I'll just bring some spare alkaline batts, kept inside my jacket and my battery magazine along... (Just in case if my Lithium Ion runs out of power)
