who is uncle sam?

mm u're wrong... all lens must times the crop factor for cropped sensor bodies. so 18-105 + 70-300 will be 27-157 + 105-450. there's a duplicate range of 105-157 (or 70-105 on FX), that's y i think it's a bad combo

common misunderstanding

already got 10-24 what

i think rm500-600... but then dun have AF motor and VC. better get the nikkor

oh i tot no AF but still, no VC~

LOL

u answer like this la... the vitamin D from the sun keep the sensor healthy

i wont categorize manual focus as a skill eh... y waste time learning manual focus instead of composition?

so long didnt active this thread. blame streamyx

LOL... miri PC fair no one bother to take pictures one

some old shots, recycled with PP hehe (so long didnt go out take pictures dy...busy busy busy)

juz apply filter

yeap2 murray street

even my spec lens also i wont clean use normal meal tissue +_+ apa lagi camera lens

yala...go also nothing to snap. never got pretty booth girls

got one shop last time tried to sell me normal B+W UV filter 52mm for RM399... gila.

congrats on ur D90! finally

hahah i juz noticed it too!

HDR is high dynamic range lah... not high definition

any photo got certain range of luminosity, from the darkest part of the photo to the brightest part. so the range from the darkest to brightest part is called the Dynamic Range lah.

but for cameras, the range is very small compared to our eyes. try go out during noon n take picture. always end up either subject lighting ok but sky too bright, or sky okay but subject too dark. our eyes dun have this problem, everything looks ok, bcause we have higher dynamic range compared to camera

so this HDR processing is a fake way of achieving a higher dynamic range on a camera. done by separately setting the camera to capture the top part of the range and the bottom part of the range. from my previous example, it's taking a photo of the subject-ok-but-sky-too-bright, then take photo of sky-ok-but-subject-too-dark, and combine both in photoshop. tada~

the lens is actually focusing in and out..not zooming. SLRs can never zoom themselves, need our hand to turn

u cant snap because ur camera was having difficulties to focus. since it's dark, the camera doesnt see anything so it doesnt know what to focus on. u shud turn on AF assist light for this situation, a small bulb in front of ur camera will light up ur subject for awhile to help the camera focus

easy way: http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/HDR_ps/hdr-ps.htm

if u're interested to understand more about HDR can go here. the "HDR tonal mapping" part at the bottom is a better way to create HDR images, but quite pening la heheh http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials...namic-range.htm

worst disease about HDR is ppl tend to overdo it~ about the AF assist light maybe some1 with a D5000 can help u with it. i can't~ ;p

hahahaha i never knew that's the reason for bayonet hood

no need ler... better spend the 1.7k difference on lenses n flash

yea u shud ask the seller to post... it's his fault for not including the cable in the 1st place...

no idea where i put mine

agree2 hehehe... juz play with what we have 1st. even d3000 with kit lens can take very nice photos already. the more you shoot, the better you can identify what gear u need next. not everyone go the same upgrade path

me, i like portraits. so i got myself a fast lens. now still like to take portraits, but paiseh wanna shoot strangers from close distance targeting 70-300mm VR now hehehe

yes same mount. decades old nikon also same mount

yummy~~~

yea the 18-55 lens is very good actually. shud make a photo gallery strictly for 18-55 lens, any brand
