Anyone here going to Super GT? I've a few questions

1. How can i get a pass for the pitlane?
2. If i buy ticket for the event, can i stand at the handrail to take pics? (not blocking the others view)
3. Last time I saw there were many photos of Super GT roadshow in various shopping malls like Sunway Pyramid, KLCC.. I just checked these shopping malls event schedule but cannot find any relevant info. Anyone has it?

Hope someone able to answer my questions. Thanks!

LR3 out already?

Depending how far is the distance between your subject and the foreground/background. For f/3.5, it's at its widest end, so the difference in distances has to be very big to produce a creamy bokeh.

55mm at f/5.6 should be able to produce the bokeh look that you are seeking for, remember, focal length distance plays a big role in bokeh look as well.

And the Photoshop Lightroom 3. Too good to be true lah.

Chiet, saw ur Gear list got Tamron F/2.8...wanna ask you something..is the 2.8 adjustable? let's say I wan to change it to F3.0..possible??

No, f/3.0 is not possible. it goes like this, f/2.8 > 3.2 > 3.5 > and so on.

So means it's still adjustable lar...means the kitlens even at zoom, it still can go for F2.8 right?

I'm now delima on which to choose between this and Sigma 18-70mm f2.8-4.5

of course constant aperture.

the 18-70 is not

no you are wrong....the kitlens at tele (55mm), the widest aperture that it can go is f5.6

1. join a media company as freelance photographer, such as thestar, sport megazine company etc. or buy paddock pass @ RM100 at ticketing.

2. As far as i know, it is free sitting, you can stand untill you get scolded

Sorry, I don't get what you're trying to say. The Tamron I have no matter at what focal length you are, you always get f/2.8 goodness.

Between the Sigma and this? mm. Depending on what kind of stuff you shoot most and your photography habits I guess. I'm not familiar with Sigma pricing.

Thanks for the help. Any idea the practise session is open to public? Like the F1.

Hah..it's ok...I just wanna know is the aperture adjustable only..now know that can still get F2.8 even at max focal length..


Sorry for my noobness..

@knight: read this.

thanks deodorant..that's a nice info...

I find it hard to believe tho LOL
Pretty sure a lot of detail is loss, no matter how good a noise reduction program is, how it works shouldn't be have too much diff..

well it might just be a coincidence that we have the same preferred FL.
btw I use the 24mm and go UP close to my subjects and I don't find it a problem, heck the 30mm should suit me even more

Personally tried the LR3 noise reduction and it works heck good!
Sure,some details are lost but the overall pic makes it up.
Makes my night mode phone cam shots alot better too!

EPIC FAIL!! FAIL!! FAIL!! Nothing beats stupidity and the quick "shift-delete" action key. EPIC FAIL!!! Dang IT!!!

I just deleted an entire wedding shot's LR Catalog and the RAW DNG Files. Approx 2000pics and of which I just started working on and have gone to like 200+ pics.. ALL Gone.. ALL GONE!

STUPID!!

photorec is not recovering it. Test disk is not recovering it..

This is WHY you have backups. RAID also no use for stupidity.

(the silver lining is, I do have 1 more backup. But all my work gone!!)

mantra - Backup..backup..backup (or grow a freaking brain!!)

same link, click around it

Sorry to hear this...
Yup, a multiple backup is a must for wedding pics. I myself backup to three external HDD just to be safe...
At least lesson learn...
