Yeah that was what I wanted lol.

So I'm thinking around F8, ND4, ISO 100, 3 second shutter

got different bro...imagine taking a light trail using those SS....

dunno if you guys saw this
but someone is selling danbo at the garage sale area
then can do danbo shots

why not just fully utilize the kit lens 1st before buying this buying that? you dont even know what use is an ND is for, and yet you still want to buy it, then when photos come out all dark and underexposed, complain why cannot get what i see from those nice nice pic one.. be it 50mm or kit lens (which ALSO has 50mm range) its gonna work great if you know how to utilize it. all there is are settings. if u want brighter shots, prop it on a tripod and put a longer shutter, dont even have to use f/1.8 from the 50mm for portrait, stand further a bit use 70mm, and there u go, bokeh!

I want the clouds to be dramatic

You know moving clouds + moving waves = 

Will be taking this by the beach lah, so should be a problem 

here example without ND or GND
this was taken at Jeram at 7.40pm,

i bought my CPL together when i 1st bought my 1st dSLR..

the only lens i have filter on is my 24-70, with the huge 82mm thread, so big that its prone to get fingerprints... and another is my 35-70, the lens' so sharp that the little bit of degradation in IQ doesnt effect the IQ much...

Thanks @croomaniac!

I wanna tiru people's setting, then R&D my own

was for my 55mm kit lens... in fact, now i have 2 55mm CPL... who want, offer me your price... both are HOYA

How much is a remote shutter control? Planning to get 1 for landscape shots + self cam group shots

U own it u dunno??? Lolz

eh...bring my DSLR to the sea will make it spoil easily?..due to the high humidity...any advice ?..how to protect it?

since u only have your kitlens, stick it in there and dont remove it... thats all.. if get splashed with small amounts of water, just run a damp cloth over it.

composition, lighting etc are subjective to me.. hard to measure..
i would just assume the pic taken was in the daylight and in the normal situation not at night or totally out of sight..

i saw his using iso 800.. so i can just assume it's a late evening or early morning then..
how can i measure the sunlight @ that time there..

so those 3 figures would give more benefit for my brain to interpret..

i would just say the result..
can get the similar result with a different ways of path..
i'm not to techy just for hobby..

wrap with 2 layers of food grade plastic with ziplock, sealed with cellophane tape at all seams... then camera 100% safe from water, even fall into sea also won't sink.
