Eneloop is a good choice

ooops sori ... 4got bout d battery.
as for drybox, some drybox using digitally computerised humidifying system. u just need to set the target, lets say humidity at 45%. if humidity goes beyond 45% threshold, d system will on until target is achieved.

Cheap one later picture all come out soft and distorted then no put better lor.

I like your first pic.

Anyone actually looked into Tokina 12-24 DXII? It has BIM.

From the list... I think I've been set my targeted dream lenses combo for 12mm-400mm

Yo Ronn, interested in ur 35mm... that if you're selling separately.

+1, using eneloop too.

Guy...


Off topic

I want sell my Yongnuo Yn460 flashgun.. any1 intrested pls let me know.. Let it go around RM180(nego).. I want upgrade Di622..

Zeist:combining many images into 1 is called panaroma, u dun really nid ultra wide angle lens, 18mm is wide enuf
n there's no such thg kitlens shutter speed is faster
if use auto, the shutter speed depends on the lighting condition
if use manual, the shutter speed is determined by u

C.P.U:Nissin Di466 flash head cant swivel left n right, so when shooting vertically u cant bounce flash, only direct flash

Bad melatonin:i think Lightroom is easier to use than CS
i jz lazy to do any PP most of the time, so nvr install those high end PP softwares

any1 here use old generation of lens?

Heard of this Sanyo before.

illegaldragon & max: Maybe need to do comparison during purchase, see pics can't tell. UV filter need to change after a period of time?


Like that electricity bill add 20%. Actually I have this cabinet glass display. It's empty at the moment but this thing collect dusts very easily.

Nice pic.

Oh it's called panaroma.

Thanks for correcting me.




If hood is not necessary then I skip this. What is diffuser?

I read that, fake bag won't protect the camera 100%. After sometime the grip will be harden or worse, crack.

If I don't use the camera 1 or 2 days, leave inside the bag, is that fine?

Found this lenspen, looks cool.




I wanna take pictures like panaroma, close up (human), panning. Macro don't think I can get the best result since I can't afford the lens. I really like panning shots.

There is this technique where I can do multiple shadows of myself in a picture. Flash once then move, flash again then move. What do you call this technique?


I left out another, the package doesn't include tripod. What tripod can you suggest? Only use this for group picture or when I need to be in it as well. When do you use the tripod?

sigh... now D5000 like cold stuff.... post at garage sales for so long d... still no buyer.. sien..
wanna upgrade d90 also cannot.. haih...

not 20% la.. 5w power consumption only. furthermore it will auto cut off/on whenever needed.
i put a pack of silica gel in my dslr bag & function like drybox oso. so leaving 1 ~ 2 days i think shud not be a problem.
wow thats lenspen cun... where can i get it? my current lenspen i use it for lcd cleaner already . need a replacement...
tripod come in handy for low shutter speed snap...

haha...coz D90 having price drop...ppl would prefer D90 than D5k...unless u wan sell ur D5k for less than 2k...lolx...but that will be a big loss...

Zeist:diffuser is for flash, reduce the harshness of the flash n give softer light for nicer portrait
this is a must have if have external flash, very useful

u mean the fake bag cant protect the cam frm wat?
bag can only protect the cam frm bumps n fall, but wont protect it frm fungus or dust
the problm of the grip rubber u said is most likely the person put too much or strong silica gel in it
the rubber will dry up cos all moisture is absorbed by the silica gel, thus harden n crack

dun use cam 1 or 2 days is fine, even not use it for a week is fine too
a month oso can but u r taking the risk
normally fungus grows when the cam is left untouched for few months in humid area
if kept in aircon room oso reduce the chance of getting fungus

thats the lenspen, but its the 1st time ive seen Nikon lenspen

the technique u asked, issit pic of 'many' of u within it?
this is created by combining in photoshop softwares using multiple shots

tripod, depends, i only used less than 5 times
other than group shots, it is useful for landscape n long exposure shots
i suggest Benro, can check garage section, got forumers selling it

wravez:IMO, changing frm D5000 to D90 doesnt count as significant upgrade
u practically not upgrading in terms of performance, since D5000 n D90 uses the same sensor
u only get the AF motor which is aint much difference, the only cheap lens that utilise it is 50mm 1.8
u sell off D5000, pay extra to get D90, then pay for the 50mm 1.8, the $$$ i thk is enuf to buy 50mm 1.4G d
r u gonna buy other non motor lenses? such as fisheye or 85mm in d near future?
no then better keep D5000 n upgrade to D300s or D400 nxt time is more worth
n Nikon is gonna replace their lenses with AF-S sooner or later
jz my opinion

true2... due to current price drop of D90, ppl will start to invest on d90 more...

i agreed wt General_Nic. frm my pov, if upgrading frm D5000 to D90, will only hv subtle improvement.
however, goin to D300s will shows an obvious improvement instead. anyway, dats just my 2cents.

I think I try silica gel first.

No idea, I just randomly google and I found it. I think I need a cloth too, to wipe off thumbprints.


I found this, DIY flash diffuser. So is a piece of thing surrounding the flash. Got it.

Fake bag material is poor, but I guess they are moreless the same, unsure.

If I put 2 packs of silica gel inside, that should be just nice right?

Talking about lens, how often do you flash your lens? Oh yea, do you remove the lens all the time or just keep in intact? I afraid by removing lens, some little dust will do inside the body area, i think its called shutter or frame? Is it safe to use lens pen to clean it?

I'm not sure about DSLR, but I got to know this technique in SLR. You flash once, then move, then flash again, and move, then only you snap. If you move twice, you'll get 3 same figure in the photo. No, not edited using photoshop. I can't remember how and when to flash.

Edited: I think the technique is long exposure ler, like what you mentioned.

Heard about long exposure shots, need a lot of patience to have excellent quality pics. There is a special shutter button for this technique right?


I like this effect: http://tutorials20.com/misc/long-exposure-basic/
