Ok, thanks.

Without flash or with flash? I know my D90 don't detect tungsten well, I usually do PRE or K settings for WB.

i use kit lens

fluorescent setting doesn't look real under fluorescent light. maybe i noob

w/out flash, i set it at auto WB, the yellowish color appear only on certain location,
i tried to use other setting as well but my d80 auto WB on same settings didn't produce that result

it's kinda blueish?
i set -1 for WB since the original images kinda blueish, i am up for warmer color

hv u try Auto?

i set to -max still bluish.

in the end i use flash WB and sometimes Auto. fluorescent setting totally unusable

I guess the lighting isn't that even and quite harsh. Try using the PRE method to meter any white surface.

maybe need to test this,
never use PRE before, maybe i can try, i think its getting confused the subject with white background

k is easier than pre for me

Self preference bro, some might like K, some might like PRE. For me PRE is more accurate, least trial and error too.



Balanced nicely for my subject, but the yellow spotlight is harsh at the back, impossible to balance both. Used warm color gel on my SB900 to balance with the spotlight as well.

I am getting from shlow1819 in garage sales. Search for bagman and shlow1819 and u can find his thread.
He's a digitalsmania shop reseller. so u can get bagman at digitalsmania too.

Wisma techna, it's the distributer's building (schimdt marketing). Need to make appointment before u go. i not sure the number yet.

Gah, just now arrived home thinking my Danbo arrived together, mana tau only see my credit card bill waiting for me .

Can't wait to try shooting with a toy hehe.

lol try not to buy everything with credit card, you will suffer later XD

Danbo is cute but the quality not that good, the surface can scratches easily (definitely will scratch even though u take very good care of it)...
If scratched and if you use direct flash towards its face, the scratches are very visible... Good luck =D

Aiyo, then it becomes like doing portrait PP it away .

yea sometimes need PP its face. But if you got correct angle you can't see the scratches.

^ so that's a good way to learn portrait shooting.. kan?

Haha, good practice mah, especially when you got no real models to take pics, practice with a toy xD. Will pose for you as long as you like and anyhow you like lol~

But portrait is a different story lol. Cuz shooting danbo is at close range, flash can be bounced easily and get good exposure. but portrait is different

And danbo is not moving and will keep staring at you if you want!

I think my 50mm F/1.8D lens is having a problem |:



Looks like 3 (or more) of my aperture blades are not opening fully at F/1.8. Hence the uneven shaped bokeh. :|
