guys,

I want to ask you about indoor shooting with flash. Look at this picture (credit to saiful nang).



My question is, how do I get the whole picture is equally expose (at least 'see-able' background) like picture above? Most of my indoor shooting will get dark background but object is correct exposure. How do I get both of them are equally same exposure?

I assume use high ISO and slower shutter would help, am I right? Any other tips?

Wah, very details explaination .. .. i got it bro .. .. thanks thanks alot .. appreciate it .. ..

how to set the focus to infinity? in mode bulb mode, do we need to press shutter (a click) to open and and another click to close shutter? Sorry, I dont have my camera here to test .. ..

thanks albnok but for some reasons, I am not sure why my remote is not working at all. . I have change the drive setting to remote but it is still not working.

Might be battery problem? I seldom use it and it is less than 10 months ..

wowwww .. these are amazing picture man .. i like it .. what lens r u using?

Where can I find the battery? how much does it normally cost?

Hi guys,

I need you guys comments on these:







any C&C are really appreciated.

Thank you.

yo macha! .. u still remember me? .. haha .. ..

dont know you are an alpha user .. ..

***ops off topic ..

Thanks achew and hazril for the comments. I really appreciate it. . I just wanted to try new things in photography .. .. these are other 2 I just finish .. I hope it is better .. and it could be great help if you guys give comments for improvement .. .





Thank you.

hey thanks bro .

hahah .. .. i know .. .. i just do for fun .. .. this is my trial to get the feel of it .. .. just try and error .. .. .. I will be more careful when final release (if success) .. haha ..

minolta is old lens while sony is newer ..
sony has aperture of 1.4 which is bigger whole while minolta has smaller one, 1.7.
the bigger the whole, the more loose it will be .. hahaha .. ..
bigger whole allows more light to go thru the lens .. thus it is good for indoor or low light photography ..
aperture also plays a part in producing bokeh ..

that all I can explain to u at the moment ..

maybe he was zooming to the max then aperture becaume 5.6 ..

Street TT!

There is the SWPA Introduction To Travel & Street Photography Talk by Szetoo Weiwen at Galeri Petronas, KLCC this Sunday 28th February 2010. So we'll have a lunch TT before the talk, and after the talk we'll go street shooting as we should be fresh and inspired by the talk!

What: Lunch TT, Street Photography Talk, Street Shooting Session
Where: Center food court KLCC then Galeri Petronas KLCC
When: 12 noon Sunday 28th February 2010
How Much: Free!
Who:

Itinerary:

12noon-2pm: Lunchtime TT at center food court in KLCC. The one below TGV Cinemas.
2pm-4pm: Street Photography Talk
4pm-4:30pm: See the SWPA (Sony World Photography Awards) Exhibition (if you haven't).
4:30pm onwards: Street shoot!

I would rather we TT first, go for talk, get inspired, then street shoot, instead of street shoot (without the knowledge from the talk), go for talk, then TT, then the talk evaporates.

Where will we street shoot? I have two route ideas:

A) KLCC to Mandarin Oriental to Wisma UOA to Pavilion.
B) KLCC to Zouk to Dang Wangi LRT (and maybe the back of St. John's Institution, if you want some cool vines).

Put your preferred route in the list also!
