congrats ahtsong

c'mon la, he just wanted to share his happiness with all of us here, and you all go and make a ruckus out of it.... *shame on you, tsk tsk tsk*

hahahha, ahtsong, feel sorry for u wehh.. ppl are just too cruel here... maternity shots dont come along often, do try to shoot more when there's an opportunity.

in those situations, you could use a tele lens to crop into the scene. pick out details. try to refrain from instinctively raising the camera and pressing the button the moment u see something nice. look for angle, perspective, background, details, lighting, shadows. there are a lot of aspects to look at in a scene and the combination on lens used.

oh, too bad then still not adept to the 450D's controls?

this shot is excellent! now this will be your benchmark, go shoot something that can better this

don't have to remove the one on sun's reflection...

i love the pastel colors

it doesnt necessary have to be sharp, it all depends on the distance of the lens, or rather, the sensor, to the subject. it has quite a number of contributing factors

8tvt, then i guess you havent gotten the chance to hold a 70-200 yet, the 55200 will feel like a paper plane.. Lol.. Even my 75-300 kit lens also heavier..

heaviest for me is 70200 (forgot which brand) or sony 70300G + a700 + batt grip + f58.. Hand can tahan 20 mins shoot only, after that need to shoot, hang on neck, shoot, hang..

i hear got ppl interested in f42??? wts wts

Photoscape is a good freeware

can can.. pm me.. Shhh, kenot do wts here, later waykayshen ><

Anyhow, i wouldnt recommend f20 as the 1st flash, eventually u will hunger for more power output. Might as well get a proper flash head, nissin ke, metz ke, yuongnuo ke...

ahpingko, rmb the pm i sent u about the CPL? how?

isnt the SSS and anti-dust supposed to be the same???

post your pics here let us see see how else can be editted la

then when everything's done, go for Sigma's 50mm 1.4's big brother

haha yea i was about to ask the same thing

uncle ian aaaa... this one sony thread ma, sure on sony zeiss de lorr..

the big beercan is the 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6, not a constant aperture

the 70 210 is only a beercan

8tvt, i'd say its the build quality, then the sharpness comparison... finally is the KM colors... which is punchier than the sony's
