wah..jsut woke up n browse the thread..so many cz poison =D

err..not now..gotta go work..lol..

tomorrow morning i try to see whether i have anything nice for 50 1.4 =p

errr..y me..lol..apple need to b calibrate too ma..lol

ok..from what i see..its slightly greenish..but it looked quite ok to me..
vewing this from my apple...apple iphone..lol

hmm..i went to that webbie..got the same warning thingy too...ignore all and went in..nothing special tho..just some netproperty site i think...

b+w is good..hoya(pro1d or HD series) is good..cz is good too.. ^^

have u already understand the concept of shutter vs aperture vs iso??DoF??Metering?? i think if u already understand those..u can probably go out n start ur practical lessons already...if not..just google for those words..im sure there r alot useful info there

there is nothing wrong with this shot if the overexpose/whitish tone was done on purpose..

@eddy
for the flower shots..i find that the DoF is slightly too shallow..especially for first one..for the night shot..i think u can try different compo..if i had a choise..i wont include those at ur bottom right..

SkaterGirl.. ^^



70mm
F3.5
1/160
iso200

taken with cz2470

actually..this kind of shot..it has nothing to do with the lens...i use it bcoz its attached on my camera..lol..

the toy n skateboard was tied with few fish lines to my table lamp..background was 1 bigger table lamp..and reflector made with aluminum foilz to create random bokehs..

haha..just some lame shots from a boring engineer during his off days.. =p
thanks anyway

to me its the background tht doesnt goes very well with the portrait..can i know whether its a backdrop or its post processed background?

ya..it looked like a post processed background to me rather than a backdrop..lol..

anyway..these 2 shots looked much better imo ^^

@kysham
ya..agree..even sometimes in my portrait..my background was so blur that u cant see a sh|t..but i still choose carefully on my background....the subject is important..but the background brings out the subject if u choose correctly.. =D

both of them r very diff thing that serve diff purposes...shoot more and u'll know automatically which one is the one u need..if u dont feel anything..then u dont need it..

lol..if u buy too fast..its not step by step also right =p
might as well buy the right things since the start..

ok la..since u mentioned step by step..i guess u shd get ur flash first..if budget not a concern..straightaway get F42 ^^

if u dont shoot group photo..i guess u can survive with 50 1.4 without flash..

my way of learning was i tried to shoot with the light available b4 i move on the learn about flash techniques....if possible..normally i'd try not to flash all the time..

u should tell us instead..y u feel the urge to jump..we can tell u 101 good things about sony..but all u need is 1 bad thing that u really can not tahan..

tell us what u dont like about sony..and we will see its the brand limitation or user fault..lol

love the clouds there >.<

wah..very hard to satisfy,,especially the 500buck price tag

if ur macro means still life toy/flower..the closest i can think off is the sony 30 2.8...but if u wanna use it to shoot bugs..thats gonna be so dam challenging..
well..not very wide for landscape..but i cant think of anything else..lol


i think u can use ur kitlens(if any) to shoot landscape first..nothing wrong with that..when u have a zoom(i see u r buying a zoom) get a macro converter like Raynox 250...its very cheap..and it can last u awhile until u have the budget to buy a true macro lens..
