u getting blurred shot in daylight or low light condition in the evening?
Dont kill yourself in holding breath ok.

you sound very new to DSLR, its easy to solve your problem, join us in gatherings

Okay heres the very simple advice for beginner, try play with Aperture Priority the symbol of ( A ) at the jog dial

When u use this settings, the camera will automatically set a suitable shuttle speed for u to shoot a nice pics, if the shuttle too slow till u get blurred pics, try increase the ISO slowly till u can shoot better.

U cant learn everything by asking here alone, u must go to some sites with the very basic explanation of what is aperture , shuttle , ISO , white balance, Exposure and raw , Rule of the third of course .

Anyone can please provide a link for our new fren here

?? but i thought the outing is tomorrow sunday morning at centerpark Bandar utama ?
Got 2 babes as models.

SEE YOU ALL THERE

18-105 is just as a travel multi purpose kit lens to me, if u want quality and nice poisoning SLR pics, u should go for 35mm1.8

U should check out dvlz collections of 35mm 1.8 before u decide

Back and processing a few to shots

Wendy is a very pretty stewardess but i didnt get to shoot any nice portrait for her
because she mainly focus on her pet as the theme is pet photography even though
the human suppose to be the main player.



Miyumi, hope i didnt spell it wrongly , i sometimes call her Muzuki LOL
Her mummy didnt allow her to bring her pet so she try her best to pose for the few hungry photog

never expect 1.4 from a 50mm 1.4 because it will make 95% of my pics out of focus and too blur.

most of the shot were done at F2 - 4.

at F4 , pics are real sharp

street photography ? not so fun to me, why not take a short trip to melaka

did some research on the place, i think its suitable more for exercise than photography , the scenery up there is so so and a photog would have to bet for a nice weather to get a good shot, its very extremely hazy nowdays.

car pool and go lor, i think most dslr owner got car.

no need 1 person drive 1 car, carpool share petrol and tol money lor

melaka very nice to shoot and the cendol after a hot day of shooting really feel like heaven

Got alot but i m too tired to process the pics, my gf start complaining saying that i capture nice pics for people only but no good pics for her

there is no 35mm 1.4 , i m using 50mm 1.4.
Most prime lens are good for portrait, but the cheapest solution is of course the 50mm.
Alot say the best range for portrait would be 105mm but the longer the range, the better bokeh u ll get.
Some pros using 300mm stand across the street just to get a portrait shot by communicating via walkie talkie with the model.

what youtube video? nope i m not

AF-S means there are build in focusing motors in the lens itself so yes the d60 without body focusing motors can use all the lens that stated AF-S

all the kit lens of nikon are AF-S which means d40/40x/60/3000/5000 can use.

Added on February 3, 2010, 4:47 pmnot much, i cant recall when is the last time i use 1.4

it really depends but higher aperture will let u shoot in higher shuttle speed compare to the f5.6 zoom lens.
If u really want nice pics at low light, only solution is using flash or get a higher iso performer like d90/300/700 and the big bro d3
D90 is the favorite now because it use the same sensor as the d300 semi pro which able to produce very nice quality pics even at high iso.

the different base on the function and ability is not much between the di622 and the sb600
but the price is like 1 for the price of 2 . Nissin is cheap and serve very well for the purpose.
Should u plan to buy another better flash in the future, it would still be good a slave in the future.
a di622 secondhand cost less than rm 400 and the cheap 50mm f1.8 is a must have lens if u using a d80
since u have the focus motor in body that allow u to use D lens.

Both of those can give u surprising nice pics in days and night with less than rm 1,000 .

i think its really depend on how we use it , some people just like to preview what they got in the memory card. Could have make more energy saving settings and shoot more but it is better to buy extra battery of course.
