good morning !

no la bro .. from SAL1855 ..
thanks geng

so many replies. thanks guys. 5 people voted for #1 and 3 people voted for #2. btw, any tips on how to improve my PP?

hazril: Ah! So he was rejected lah. It can almost be a series. I have an idea which needs some photo merging and a tripod but it can be done.

Maybe I should've posted more of the 'naturals' downstairs!

mcline_007: Yeah I like her natural innocent smile!

ieR: I picked the exposure that brought out the skintone I wanted. But yes, I could apply a light dodge to them (I have, actually... but without comparing to the rest of the series.) Also, some of them get more mixed colors, which helps (cyanish tint from the lights, or daylight coming in.)

5564321: Show us a picture with EXIF?

neo_lam: Eh, most of them are with the Minolta 50mm F1.4 at F2.0 lah.

signither: If you're up for it, make the trashcan colored like #2 and the background colored like #1.

shukrie: I honestly like out-of-camera IR color. It's something I've fallen in love with that I can't bear to recolor it!

reporting in from Seoul.. Koeran chicks damn HOT! But didnt get chance to shoot some yet ><

I order my tamron sp90 macro lens already waiting stock come hope this week can get it ))

what lens u using? Can tell me

make over nvm ma, asal cun! Not that you're going to get to see them take off the make up also, even if u did also, meaning you got lucky d la then what for care how she look like under the make up wuhuhuhuhu..

signither: Nice clean merge!

likito: The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 Macro has a minimum focus distance of 20cm.

neo_lam: No I didn't say the 135ZA will produce better results - it won't give the same angle, or the same feeling that you are right in front of them.

ieR: Don't forget the original Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 Macro which focuses to 20cm close! The newer 17-70mm F2.8-4.0 doesn't go so near.

MechaHerc: Purple fringing, only with very high contrast.

really?!!!! how to get that software....?

for those who are interest on EVIL

what is a pancake?

I AM LOOKING FOR A330 BATTERY GRIP , IS THAT AVAILABLE BY NOW?

can i know where i can get the full compatible Accessories list that fit sony dslr ?

cause i am new , i really dont know what brand  can fit in

but strangely that what is the actual sensor of the EVIL/NEX ? If they said it wasn't M43 .... meaning that it was a micro DSLR?

@farex
wa...RAW?=S need new memory card d.haiz.

@neo_lam
why evil?=X

this model(on the right) ask me promote her.==

she angry jor. @@

o.o why off the NR? i thought its suppose to reduce noise?

aren't f8 sharper ?

does not apply to all lens. Normally is to step 2 stop down is the sharpest point of a lens

wingster: I paid USD199 for DxO Optics Pro Elite in 2009 when they had a promotion. Best money I ever spent to get 2 stops more out of my RAW files! Cheaper than buying a Nikon D700 and you get better color and a lot of handy correction tools. Of course this was before IDC and ACR and Lightroom all got major noise upgrades.

The NEX if that is what it is called, is still mirrorless. The sensor is a bigger 24x16mm instead of Micro FourThirds' 17.3x13mm.

zstan:

EVIL = Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens (no mirror)
SLR = Single Lens Reflex (one lens, must have mirror)
TLR = Twin Lens Reflex (two lenses, mirror on top lens)

farex: IDC is pretty good, but not as 'complete' as the proper serious RAW converters. I particularly like DxO's Lens Modules (it has a profile for certain lenses so it corrects lateral chromatic aberration and lens distortion automatically based on the lens' unique distortion.)

Where DxO is excellent at, is when you use their Fill Light... it looks better to me lah compared to using DRO Level 5 on-camera. They have a Multi-Point Color Balance picker and excellent parallel line correction (for fixing geometry and perspective!)

jamesies: Nice complete scene. Thanks for paying attention to what they are promoting!

Use a good RAW converter, or the latest IDC and you should see a very usable ISO1600!

well it can, depending what u shoot, if u shoot a group photo of 50 people, the face already small small size , dim room  , and ur flash cant reach everyone.... high iso might destroy what's left of their face

there is noise, if u pixel peep, there is A LOT. but, when we see the picture as whole, the noise is hardly noticeable. (btw, the last pic, look at top area of the floor, the noise is masssssive!)
