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
Thanks for sharing destfull bro.

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

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... Thanks

OK, found info already from reading kmarc's "Guide - How to take good care of your DSLR"and browsing shashinki.com
Gonna get the glass LCD protector maybe from lowyat.

"abam" tu apa ?

Went to Digital Mall, PJ yesterday and saw A700 for sale.
A700 + 1870 = RM3200/-
A500 (black) + 2 lenses = RM3150/-

nb: A700 ada 2 sets still

My first contribution.
Took these shots at MidValley ~ 8:10pm. Chinese trapeezes putting some nice show

C&C pls.



No PP. Only cropped and resized.

Thank you. Will try to keep that in mind

You are right, the subjects are not in focus. (Looks like the background yang kena fokus... hehe ). I had difficulty in focusing properly. What kind of focusing mode would be appropriate? Any suggestion?

All shots were taken at arms length high above my head (because audience infront blocked the view). Luckily, the A550 has the LiveView LCD that can be rotated facing downwards. Very useful feature la.

What about the colors? do you guys think the colors (red etc) are too saturated? I bump the saturation setting to 2+ if Im not mistaken.

Thank you for your kind inputs. Hope to learn from you guys and improve my photo skills

nice panning shot

Im still trying to learn and get my panning right. Till now, still tak jadi la my panning

One comment on your framing (ie where you crop your photo). Sharing some info (from books on photography) suggesting that photos such as motor racing, cars, athlit running, animal running etc... use the 1/3 rule to give more dramatic. ie for your motor shots, since the motorcycle is moving from left side of photo to right, move your subject (the motorbike) more to the left of the photo and leave the right side of photo (ie front of motor) more spacing. That will give the impression of the bike moving from left to right.

Do you use continuous shot?
Im still trying to learn panning, still no where near acceptable ... jelous la looking at sharpness of you photos...

want to ask something...
I wear specticle (spelling? ... cermin mata la ) ... Im finding some difficulty / inconvenience looking at the exposure reading etc inside the OVF when shooting potrait orientation (ie bukan landscape orientation). Anyone else experiencing this "inconvenience" ? Does using sony's "magnifying eyeglass" on the OVF will help?

Ok... will try that. Thanks william

C & C pls...
Some PP done.

Thank you for your input. Will try again
