how about he uses F5.6 then F6.3?

erm i dont know, what was the zoom length? if not more then 50mm, at that infinity focus, i doubt u get bokeh on the boat.

but in photographer, there is a lot thing to learn and surprise u never thought of. for example, have u try shoot A boat(yea, A single boat) with the sea as BG, bokeh or not, up to u, but the smudge bokeh of sunset color on the sea could be really nice too.

explore around, when i started photography, i shoot every possible crazy idea i can think of, through that, i learn a lot of DO's and DONT's of good composition

like how i shot over 60 shoot just one this one shot that i liked

go borrow tele, serious, no tele, u wont like to walk close up to people to say "cheese" hahaha

lol, what i mean is, with short zoom, u need to walk up to 3 meter close, the subject surely will know u are shooting them, so, might as well ask them to say cheese... lol

that pic is PP.

but it can be done with rear curtain slowshutter shot. but it looked a little diff from tht pic (imho this method one is more beautiful)

*(aiya, i just install window7 on my computer, so i dun have photoshop, or any resize tool to show u of the shot i did)

wow, i didnt realise win7's paint improved so much @.@ thx...

here is it.

rear curtain. coz i used the zoom technique, the final position of the camera is upright.

erm... how old is the flash? how heavy is it used. i cant really say, it is at the borderline pricing....

Added on January 4, 2010, 3:12 ambut i might as well ask u go buy a new F42 + 50 f1.8?

1. for the full warranty of both
2. 50 F1.8 give better color, sharpness, and tone

and i think it is about 1k+ for both?

i didnt follow the price, but let's put the price i think is for 50 Fa.8 is 399, u still grab them around 1.2k for both new and full warranty. depending u wanna spend the extra 200 or not. but at least, with the warranty period, u can send ur lens to service for free~

*removed; the question has been answered

i would prefer the light is from above the side... try compose it one more time see how it becomes?

the reason for it is simple, it doesn support the lithum info thingie. meaning with the normal AA battery, it might screw up the % thingie... our sony has the best power management, it tell to the % +-1% error.... imagine ehem brand camera show 1 bar left... 1 bar is 20% or less then 20% u also dunno, at least our one show 10% we know is time to charge, when it shows 19%, we know we still can do 200 shots. the % really help u to prepare knowing u have enough batt or not. the ehem brand u cant even estimate 2 bar is 40% or 21% (the diff of 200 shot is a lot...) or 4 bar is 80% or 61%?

i hope this give u the general idea, why infobatt is better then AA batt. summore a new batt is not expensive also....

finejave, the test was on crop sensor, i assume on FF another story?

u canT, u only can extend the day u brought it

not only him, my A300 also has the issue.

u will notice obvious calibration issue once u grab lens like 50mm or f2.8 lens. if it's fine, then it is fine, if it's off, u can see it very obviously.

but they remove the godly AF sensor of A550 from A450... @.@
2k body only? still a good buy if u dont need LV...

on my lcd its not under, it looked fine... strong color and sharpness

did u +? + ? +? to the creative mode? usually zeiss look just nice with +0 +0 +0 wondering coz i played with my good friend's 1680 for one wedding(and his A550), fuyooo, damn power~ poison badly

but lucky i am broke... because of what i brought this month....

i have to upgrade my 'desk'top from this


to this


then maybe another saving for 5-6 month, can grab the A7xx

if u are implying those, nope, elken for heels, i got crack heels

zergling and albnok: yea, before this, i planning to make the wall behind the monitor for projector, can watch movie and work on larger workspace... but then i found out, HD projecter can buy me 20 of the lcd, LOL... end up with this setting, Now i am planning to make the whole wall behind the lcd to be like the photo-hanger... or maybe stick a white poly-esther board then stick photo directly behind. i use photos that i really love and those after 1 year, when i look back, i would like "WTF, how did i shot that pic??" good way to go down memory lane.. like this one... EZ by me... i totally forgot how i edited it...

depending, on it when u needed, off it ONLY when u are going off. on-off-on-off when u need files, will actually kill the motor faster. so, once on, let it spin only. the auto spin down works with most harddisk case. newer branded harddisk is USB detect base(or usb power-on/up), once u unplug usb, it auto spindown, goes to sleep mode, plug in usb, it wakes up. like my maxtor 1tb, and WD studio 2tb... love them a lot~
