i prefer to use flash in M mode...while camera in AP/SP if im nt playing with lights(normal event/portrait)....if im play with lights(setup shots)..all would be in M mode...

so basically..90% of the time my flash is in Manual..lol

haha..nice one seriously..but i prefer not to have those unrelated stuff in the background as well as the frame.. =p



@ier
im telling him to try in M on the flash..

need a ride??

its a bmw 630i convertible..

the fly cz shot..actually it was taken upside down..meaning my danbo n everything was actually terbalik..my cz1680 was placed on the edge of a black color table(notice i put a heavy vignette and compose the shot so that u wont notice/see the table)...and of coz..the background was fake..it was a seperate shot n merged together....hope it helps..



some cny activities..



well..saw on the newspaper jsut now that playing this kind of lantern is actually illegal..lol..didnt know that =x

and thanks ^^

@ier
buy mac pro with a apple cinema display la.. =p
to be frank i LOVE my imac alot alot..but i dont like to manage too many computers at the same time..so ended up with my macbookpro most of the time due to the mobility..
and the lantern thingy..im talking about msia..not singapore..

@kevinwcw
i love that shot...the light...the skin..everything...even tho the kid does look a lil bit evil..lol...but still..LOVE IT~

don think it'd burn down anything..unless u have really really tall building there...coz when its bloated..it rises very quickly..less than 10sec its already higher than 2-3 floor building..when it drops the fire goes off already..how to burn houses...but again.thats provided u know what u r doing..if u wanna play it in the jungle where trees r everwhere..well i guess its not the lantern fault..lol..

@kevinwcw
any specific adjustment u did on the photo?other than contrast/exposure..

i'd prefer if u could eliminate the hand with a jar of wadever-inside from the background..

i find DRO at lvl5 kinda noisy..i usually use lvl3 too

A paradise called home....



well..nothing special..just another snapshot..lol..sorry about the slanted roof tho..somehow the car wasnt slanted =.=

err...sorry but i dont really get u...so u r looking for websites/reviews on a850 n some "pro" lenses is it?

happen to have 3 out of the 4 item u listed but im not good enough to give u any review..lol..perhaps u can try dpreview or dyxum like what others suggested...

a700..a850..a900 has it..if i remember correctly..a100 has something similar too??

not a sifu..but this is roughly what i did...i usually would have an objective in my head b4 i shoot..i should know what im trying to tell my viewers first b4 i shoot anything(but of coz there r times when i only do point&shoot type of thingy..especially portrait)..try to plan your shots b4 u start shooting..how the background going to be(try to eliminate unrelated stuff as much as possible)..hows the lighting(play with flashes?use things like table lamp to help?if doing landscape maybe can think of what time of the day would makes the photo better..sky..clouds.. etc etc)..angle..blablabla..

for most of the time..my first try isnt gonna come out as what i expected..try review the shots see where it goes wrong..n try again..

iso200
1/100s
F/2.5

F58@ 1/16 thru DIY flash ring on camera
2 small table lamp from left
1 big table lamp from right

merge 2 shots together due to unable to get everything on focus plane without affecting my composition..

c&c welcomed as usual ^^

if u plan to get FF on ur next upgrade(which is pretty soon) it shd be fine.....if not i find the range kinda bad in apsc..not wide yet not long..

nice exposure on the sun..i nv really get this kind of sun b4 (altho i know i rarely do any landscape)

ehhh??since when u started to shoot figurine..lol..

but i dont find that lcd useful leh..maybe its not my shooting style..i almost never look at my top lcd b4..lol

lol..din know 1680 looked so huge on the camera..
