Poor me no money get ori.... T_T

wahhh very good indeed

lie lar.. got sell 70200 for 7K liao where got no money

is it me or is it that a lot of people like to PP photo that makes the people looks as if they've a glow to stand out from the pic?

I dont know about 3rd party batt grip. The only major/noticable difference that i can see is that 3rd party bg do not have the sturdiness, and rubbery feel as the ori bg. Im using an ori BG.

Physical built of the 3rd party battery, it is fine actually. I've been using it and no probs. The only thing one should note is that the 3rd party battery drains faster than an ori battery. Your choice. Price VS performance. That's all. I have one ori and one 3rd party batt.

me also like dat at first... later i do some research among who i know, one of them got the trouble. now at PM might be facing same problem

Im with you... im more in love with a D3s than a D3x...gotta love that low noise at high iso thingy...D3s' STANDARD iso 12800 and it's like looking at D90's iso 3200 or lower..imo.

I dont really want to achieve "glow" at all, but when I do prints this "glow" is the difference between a well lit pic and and a dark pic. This pic is shot with the SB600 straight on the subject and the sun at the back of the subject, so I need to really pump up the exposure on the brides. Sorry I don't have the umbrella at the time.

I dont know about you, but I have to send a lot of images for photo processing and learned quite a bit from doing it.

1. Learned that Fuji has the best colour.

2. Fuji prints are packed full with colour. I went to quite a few kodak print shops and what they do is that they reduce the colour output of their printers and the results would be prints which are very low in colour contrast and the colours arent rich at all.

3. The few Fuji shops I went to will ask you whether you want to adjust your pics to have the correct colours and brightness for all of your pics when printing.

ps. I've been comparing 7-8 shops both Kodak and Fuji.


It's great but I have to consider this:

1. If I didnt make the subject "glow" as you said, and I asked the shop to properly expose the subject, any remaining sky/cloud detail will be as white as the printing paper itself.
2. If I don't expose the subject well, the sky will be nice but the subject will be underexposed. (might be nice and acceptable on LCD, but printing it is a different story)
3. To recover more sky detail and lit the subject well for printing i need to PP this pic like so.

Printing and viewing on normal LCD is different for me. I noticed this issue when I print at the shop without any type of colour/exposure adjustment AND when viewing on my LCD. Colours on a normal LCD monitor are not as reliable as on a correctly set-up CRT. I need an IPS type of LCD to really achieve the correct colour and better viewing angles that would match a CRT. (few thousand ringgits to spend just on lcd). So now I lowered the brightness of my LCD and adjusted the colours to match the prints as close as possible.

I need to really make sure the colours are right and the exposure are right as I need to design custom/story albums which combines a lot of images in one page. The problem which most of my friends make when doing custom/story albums is that they have a bright/high contrast LCD and didnt properly PP the pics and it results in albums/images which are dark/underexposed, oversaturated human skin tones, jumbled up well exposed & under/overexposed pics and thus not so nice.

Here is straight from RAW. Un-edited except resize.

it's just really sad when i and other newbies have all this expensive gear and cant really do well when the images are printed.
