lighting the subject from the back is to make the 'outline' of the hair to glow...there's a specific name for this i forgot but it's not the most important one lar, illuminating the front is still more important. u need at least 3 flashes to pull this off nicely. 1 for one side of the face, 1 more lower power for another side of the face (lower power so got shadows, but not too dark), and the last one to light up the hair outline

for only 1 flashgun setup juz use diffuser n bounce shud be ok juz dun simply snap3 that's all

dunno the value but shudn't be more than 700 i think. better get the 18-105, got VR

Today I'm had a problem on my D3000, now I would like share with you guys. The flash not able to pop up when I press the button which will pop up the flash, and the solution is switch off and switch camera. Any one of you guys experienced this issue b4 ?

Initially I also tried turning off flash, bump ISO but 1st i don't have a f2.8 lens or a prime, and 2nd the color lights and other buaya's flashes ruined my photo. Then i turned on my flash with the fake demb diffuser, it turns out well =D

But i'm standing quite near lah, 3rd row from front, and flash power quite strong, so it's still okay to get well exposed photos.

Guys,

My friend is opting to purchase D5000 kit with EPP 12 or 24, anyone know if the shop you occasionally visit provide easy payment scheme?

issit quite an old guy? saw him using D3s with 70-200 VR

here's some of my pic, not reli perfect, but i feel its ok considering its a 55-200 lens
most of my stage shots r jz spamming blindly over my head without live view
using viewfinder cant reli get clean pics without sumthg blocking

Sorry guys, not able to join you guys at DCIM.

^sorry not accepted...treat us eat...

omg!... i checked... my photo taken is DSC_1090...
i never reset it be4..
but i use the software checked.. it show total sc is 7198!!
how? i get cheated?!... can i go back the shop to claim?!
it is a well-known shop in msia.. which named mekotof... use mirror c the word

the easiest way to check if the camera is brand new is to see the set time function when u first turn it on.

where to check time function?

I mean once u turn on the camera, the first thing it should show is ask u to set the time. If it doesn't show that means its a used camera.

omg.. it seem no..=.= ""
then how? canot argue?!

you already accepted the camera, so i don't think there's anything you can do about it. if you were to check it on the spot at the shop before purchasing then of course you can argue.

go back to the shop & komplen...

err, i tot u bought 2nd hand?
