porkchop: With practice!

Kul | Mo0: Finally, some G poison!

mastering89: The bottom part could use some brightening (but keep them in shadow.)

i tried taking some shots that way but didnt came out very nice...
the pic was overexposed...
but here one that i think was ok ok


1/500s
f/16.0
ISO 100

also how to get full silhouette effect (the person total dark)
tried darken by +shutter speed but whole pic became darker
also tried -EV but the same with above...

also today i'm getting my 50mm 1.8
planning to go mid valley, any shop there recomended??? best price for 50mm 1.8??

i checked from version before this someone say "50mm f1.8 DT SAM - RM399 at the gardens midvalley 4th floor sony style...confirm can get....."
anyone can confirm that?? and if cant how "pro" technique to bargain???

@mastering89
increase contrast slightly??ur use masking in ps

albnok : Is that a new lens??!! Like never seen before....

looks like 2 lens hood on each other...

is there any alpha with hd video mode?thanks

nope.. not yet

havent released yet...a7xx

aww sucks...

mastering89: Google "digital GND"; you can brighten the lower bit while keeping the sun intact.

lwliam: Yes there are 2 lens hoods. And something else!

SH0003 is the lens hood for 135CZ... is that what underneath?

i assume 380 can tilt but not swivel for the lcd right?

need some points here.thanks

ic...
a700 same par on 50D ar...
haiz...
sien...
coz finding something dat can compete wif 50D...
A700 too old stock adi...

weixuan: Well if it was just the hood you would see the inside felt surface.

why 2 hoods ?

Truth be told, if you've seen me carry my Zeiss 135mm around, you know I don't bring the hood out at all... so why 2 hoods?

say, between ET and TC, which one is worth the investment ya?? we know ET only can be use for macro because it can't be focus to infinity.. TC can be used for macro too.. but it can focus to infinity so can be used normally.. but, how's the performance of TC for macro?? better, less or on par with ET??

what i understand is digital GND something like HDR, is it??

some pic spam


i still have problem using Manual Focussing...
i'm using spectacles but not 'selesa' looking thru viewfinder while wearing spec, so my pic cant get sharp / always OOF...
tried adjusting the thing beside the viewfinder but still cant get the best out of it...
any suggestion?

the body tht came much closer to a700 now is a550..u can consider tht also...

signither: Teleconverters have glass and weaken the optical quality.

However, they give better magnification for longer focal lengths.

Supposing a Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro lens gives you 1:1 maximum magnification.

Formula:
Lens Extension / Focal Length = Magnification

So, for the 90mm, it extends:
Lens Extension / 90mm = 1:1

Therefore the lens extension is 90mm.

A teleconverter multiplies the magnification directly. So a Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro with 2x teleconverter gives 2:1 maximum magnification.

Back to extension tubes. To get 2:1 with extension tubes:

Lens Extension / 90mm = 2:1
Lens Extension = 90mm * 2 = 180mm

Therefore, you would need a 90mm extension tube to double the magnification of the Tamron 90mm!

(Of course, you can see that shorter focal lengths get bigger magnification with the same extension tubes. The Canon MPE-65 is a 65mm F2.8 lens while the Minolta 1x-3x is a 50mm F1.7-2.8 lens.)

mastering89: Oops as it turns out GND isn't specific enough - it's a Graduated Neutral Density filter so I should've said to Google "digital graduated ND".

And uh, show us more of the flower instead of putting it way off to the side.
