hey guys..long time no drp by...

very bz christmas indeed. ill be heading to krabi, thailand fer new years..hope to get some drop dead awesome shots... gonna work with the stuff ive picked up in kedah

stay tuned!

i like 10 ...way to go on the detail of the rhino face!

hey guys....alphanatic reporting from krabi , thailand... 5d4n trip.. ... should be awesome..will be returning tomorrow ....hope fr sum AWSEOME updates during the next week... hahahahh

gear brought :

50mm
70-300
18-70
f42
a300
cpl

wooooooooooooooooooooot....

only the high end lenses have ssm .... ... meaning above 2k plus lenses... doncha love sony!

for macro...basically they use ring flashes..give a better all round flash exposure

ier..ahhaah same...
im also gonna let go my a300...if my new project goes through...then...ehhehe a850 or a550...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


hoping suddenly got a700 replacement...not really digging FF at the moment...but the 24-70 f2.8..........omh O_O

Portrait shots for a friend

amadeo : tq!

countdracula : i started shooting at 3am..till about 10.30 in the morning the same day...ahahha some crazy ideas and stuff..it was good!

not really bro... picture 1 and 3 are about 4 sumthing in the morning
8 second exposure! and contrasty lighting ( for no 3)

seng kiat : ...i jst checket at boeing... a850 + 24-70 = 110Xx

uzumaki : if u wish to check for underexposeure

1) use shadow clipping warning in cs4...

2) use the display in ur camera...the will be a display mode that shows u highlight and shadow clipping.

if u would value my opinion...i think your subject is slightly underexposed, the wing area and also...but i suspect this is because of bumped up saturation..

i agree...my portraits that i did for a friend is definitely proof....u have to do more work rather than point and shoot... background must be chosen rather then coincedental...

and if u touch the 50mm.....or any lens that shoots at f2.0 and below...make sure u understand PLANE OF FOCUS..or else...ahhahahha..good luck..


eg :

was thinking of it... but then..prolly gonna hit the gym...

lugiamcg : of course u will need xtra $$$.... ur looking at filters, cleaning tools, tripod(good one), flash, lenses...yada yada yada....

but...

pouches - no
lens cap - no
strap - no

nope...cleaning tools they definitely wont provide...tripod...maaaybe..but u dont want what they give..

id advise u to go for a similar tripod to mine...its......umm.....robust! ..
im using a velbon sherpa...served me well!..but it is 3 kgs in weight alone..

cleaning tools can be found right here in lyn...

cjlai : .. what exactly did u mod? .. focus screen?

i get it now..wow....friggin useful when u shoot manual... ...interesting..where did u source your parts and how much did the mod cost?

as i was recently enlightened....

"there is NOT going to be an Exmor R in an APS-C sensor. Backlit means the circuits that cover the sensor area are now behind it. For a smaller sensor the circuits cover maybe 50% but on a larger APS-C sensor it covers perhaps 5%. As an Alpha Product Manager told me, there is very little benefit to backlit sensors with APS-C or FF as it costs too much to change and it doesn't offer as much gain as a small sensor will get."

so...yea..no exmor R on any slr..... the A550 comes with a Exmor CMOS sensor...not Exmor R

thought id share that snippit

yep..freddy..source was albnok..today he was quoted many times ahahah..

ahhhhhhhhhhhh... a700 poison .. hahahaha.......im infected adi...........
