playing with long shutter last night:





and some strobist-tidak-menjadi after that:

The EXIF:
M mode, 30 seconds, iso200, f8 at 18mm
Noise Reduction sets at Normal

prime lens is easy lens mah.. just need to compose only he he he~

yah.. but for walkaround/fast lens a prime is a must..
i love my minolta f1.7 on my a350 and it serves as my 2nd body exclusively..

more poison from the 85mm?

even im working~ with my 2k patcheck andot yet married, still cannot get that lens loh~ hahaha

mine comes with the VG.. octopus one..

i bought the octopus VG.. it comes with a wireless remote..
"saya membeli VG jenama octopus, diberikan percuma satu alatan kawalan jauh tanpa wayar"

sekian, terima kasih..

/ sorry, cant speak fluently any other language.. hope that sentence is understandable by you

some little2 spam from small2 person like me

what diffuser are u using?
pop-up one? external flash one?
a proper used one will definitely eliminate harsh shadows..
share pics.. please..

It depends on what mode u're using for ur flash

If u're using manual, then try decreasing the power of the flash~
If u're using TTL, then diffuser is NOT recomended because sometimes the light will not be enuff...

I usually use one setting on the camera body ie f8, shutter 1/200, iso200 and I'll change the flash power accordingly~
Used to be doing things like that already~
Its somewhat fun to see the outcome

Rarely use TTL... This is how I train myself

So... Nissin's not original?
It's the same as saying the same to lenses from Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, etc etc

"Apa ada pada jenama, kalau gambar.. Habuk pun tarak?"

I'd used it as slave alongside 2 SB900 and a SB800 (our CLS setup during shooting) and it never fails me. Not that hard to trigger as long as it's set to Group A (regardless of any channel)
Tried setting it to group B and it doesn't fires

Nissin Di866 for me~ it's FOR THE WIN!!!

yup..
i can even trigger SB900 when using Di866 in Master Mode (Wireless)

he he rumors saying SB900 gona have replacement model coming out soon, not that real lah..
no hype from the Nikonians..

as i posted in the D40 thread..
my Di866 can only fires when its in the Group A.. dont matter what channel it is..
change to Group B and it wont fires..

and yes, it have to be in line with the transmitter (camera body) because the sensor can detect it from the front only.. :sigh:

so far I'm using:
1x Di866
2x SB900
1x SB800

All triggered using pop up flash from D90
The usual setup is:
Di866 on the umbrella
1 SB900 in the softbox
The other SB900 + SB800 is used behind white linen as backlight

This is how I do portrait/CLS photos so far

Maybe if I add more flash then need wireless trigger later~

Pocket Wizard will burn a hole in the pocket haha even more expensive than SU800 ):

Yah so far I'm using only 2 groups. In the future if I'm planning on going more specific then maybe gona need those wireless triggers lah

But for now, controlling 2 groups is enuff la I think

BTW, I use Di866 as my main flash (:
In love with the power so much hehehe

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

f2.8.. uhm maybe u can try f8 or smaller (f22 the best) and use flash to make the BG more decent.. and s the flash wont be too harsh..
just my opinion

(too close for flash)

^grey set also can use mah.. just it dont have warranty he he
who knows what will happens in the future kan..

pics spam (i rarely took pre-weds so bare with the noobieness is posing them)

yes that's the way to go! u earn ur gear!
(work more and simpan duit banyak2 utk lens)

which signature? the watermark?
