Here's mine. Went for sunset and its low tide so can walk quite far to the middle of the sea. Deploy tripod and enjoy the scenery. There's a few more. Will upload it later.

wow i love those moths!  how many shots did u actually take to get 'the one'? =)

going through my pics taken using 450D..all so dull la..especially when i take landscape pics...C brand really....................doh.gif

In these cases, i wouldn't blame any brands.. Its nearly always 90% user's error. As the chinese saying goes 'coz u constipate, u go and blame the ground for being hard'

Naruto, sad to say, i agree with her.. Thats why i commented on it.


Added on May 24, 2010, 11:41 amthe reason i like on sony compared to others is coz of its DRO and SSS. Apart from that, setting wise, its all user changeable and if all else fails, there's always PP in hand.

mr tan, before we answer you, why do you think so that metal is better than plastic?

Release w/out lens function is so that we can use old lenses that you can adjust the aperture manually.

set the aperture on lens, set same aperture number on camera, and you're good to go...

when we decided to make 1 stop brighter shot.. especially on macro mode..
what's setting would u prioritize to help reducing the noise and losing less sharpness?
-ISO
-shutter speed
-aperture
-EV
-others
*
1. tripod
2. flash
3. shutter speed
4. ISO
5. aperture

Eh Nissin available for Sony oredy kah? I tot thay didn't manufacture Sony's hotshoe pattern?

Btw the +1 for Sony is that every single body supports Wireless Flash..
So just popup the flash and set it to WL mode and u're done!
(Of coz can't compete to Naikon's CLS, they got customizable flash power for each channel/group but only certain model supports it)

Go buy lah~ buy 1st, learn later hahaha

but Alpha FF cams also can wad, no?

nice shot!!ur shutter speed how much?should be quite long i think? can see cloud movements.correct me if i am wrong?laugh.gif

guys...

was wondering whether sudden change in temperatures..

cold to hot..hot to cold..cold to hot again...(air cond room to hot sun)will affect the AF mechanism of our lenses?

if yes..how do we overcome this problem?will a metal build lens help to overcome this problem?

hope i am asking the correct questions this time. sweat.gif
