Braynumb: I like the style in #1. Good capture in #2 (because everybody is looking at you!) Also like #5 for how your uncle stands out.

Of course, an orange flash gel would do wonders for your WB, but you have post-processed it nicely.

kmarc: This version is also nice.

Fighteden: Like the eye contact, though if just a bit more to the right would make it better. It looks cropped?

Nice la destfull.
I tried shooting glass of cold teh "O", but I was not happy with my framing and angle. Nampak mcm biasa je.
I will have to try lagi la. Me needs to be more creative sad.gif
Thanks for sharing destfull bro.

I tried some panning shots too (of motorcyles passing in front), but semua tak menjadi. All blurred... haha blush.gif

Need some advise.
What do you guys use to protect your camera LCD (ie the liveView LCD) from scratches? which kind of screen protector are you using? Can suggest one for my A550? Takut kena scratch la... and Im not the delicate type of person. I sometimes rough handle my cam. ... pls advise... icon_question.gif Thanks notworthy.gif

The best way to get consistent colors is to have your screen calibrated. But even without doing so, the diff in color is quite minimal. Also you can check if you have done the following:

1. Select the correct paper profile before printing. Glossy, semi gloss, matt paper all have diff profile and the printer uses diff amount of ink based on the profile you selected. Paper quality also plays a part, stay away from cheap papers.
2. Software that comes with printer such as Epson Easy Print have Auto image enhance software built in. Make sure to uncheck them all so that the software does not mess with your pics.

bro, was always wondering, does the HSM on your Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 help you to focus faster with your a700? Coz somehow feel that the Tamron's 70-200mm f2.8 focusing speed is not that fast on my a700.
