hahaha 1Malaysia kot?

anyway.. i was thinking of 'IR'ing my a350..
how much and where can i get such service?

bro, contact this dude, from Kuantan http://www.facebook.com/alisb

i think u need GND as i can c the padi field seems under...

i saw at alphanatics someone quote RM500 plus postage
saw some pics of IR alpha's , does it come out directly that way or have done some pp??
really nice colors than using the normal IR filter...,
also easier than using IR filter ,.juz snap like normal dslr
using IR filter need long exposure, set the white balance and blah3x...

owh that much..
gona think about it more..
imagine IR + fisheye woohooo

so what really happens?
any manipulation to the sensor only? or change the sensor?

time to invest on a GND after this...

that part i'm not sure...
but i saw at ebay got sell IR CCD Conversion service for a300/a350 (Link)
i'm assuming juz change the sensor
but at alphanatics , one owner of IR alpha said he owns one of the successful IR converted alpha..
i think that means that there are some "unsuccessful" ones ???
try to contact Dr ali from kuantan there...
and share it here also please

this guy from sabah got his a100 converted to IR by dRali

aiyah.. after the fisheye fever subside..
masuk pulak demam IR hu hu hu..
have to stop myself..

Mikeshashimi: You've already got a flash; the A550 will help with manual focus.

The A700 has a magnesium alloy body, better button layout, bigger viewfinder, flash ratio control with the F58, DMF, AF/MF toggle, F2.8 sensor (for better accuracy with F2.8 or brighter lenses).

Of course it is not as fun as the A550 with Live View, Smile Shutter, AutoHDR, decent ISO3200, etc.

Yeah the shadow shot is close but not quite. Keep at it, you will get it eventually. Your sister's shot is a bit cool - if you're under shade, use Shade WB to get the whites of her eyes white again.

Kul | Mo0: Thanks yo! Uh, what about them F1.4 lenses?

kevinwcw: The A550/A500 has an infrared remote sensor. Unless you mean infrared AF assist light.

Ranceed: Good shot. The color is a bit too magenta at the sun where it should be plain orange though.

achew: Congratulations!

freddy manson: Ooo finished Rubik's Cube! I like the coherence in the picture, that everybody there is living in a living room, and not just simply cloned.

All sensors are very sensitive to IR light, so an IR blocking filter is installed in front of every sensor. Remove that, and it can see IR again, which appears purple in pictures unless you post-process.

Braynumb: Will you be around on Sunday?

cjlai: This is a trickier background, and I do agree that it does look chaotic - most 50mm lenses don't have nice bokeh (except the F2.8 macros.)

Would prefer the fisheye point at the star while you stand in the middle.


Vivitar 24mm F2.0 at F2.0. Decent amount of bokeh at close range, but deep DOF for further away subjects - just nice, really. I can't wait for the Zeiss Distagon!

mastering89: Yes, a darker aperture than F1.8 would help get more of the meatball in focus. Irwan's pictures have had some recoloring done.

ieR: It's true. I don't like how the Canon and Nikon battery grips feel like bricks screwed onto the tripod mount.

hazril: I like #2 if you cloned out the wires and waited for better light. The rest are too wide to express anything (try to look for geometry and lines to align to the frame.)

albnok: going back to kuching on friday. Only will be in kl this thursday n friday morning. My flight to kch is at 3pm on friday. Hehe. Thats y wanna meet up on thursday. Will comfirm with chris where gonna meet him later.

Damnn , today must stay inside the hotel only Nyepi New Year in Bali .

I wonder If there are meaning behind this photo

Braynumb : Thursday night la. ON? (:

Ksano : Dont get the photo. You focusing on the Proton Saga?

ksano: you are pointing out the motorcycle? or the dusty WINCON van?

the wincon attracts my attention first..then i see the motor..lol..i guess probably we r used to read things from left to right..

I was focusing at the motorcycle actually, but since it was moving maybe it cause a bit OOF. (or maybe my beercan has front focus issue )
