when u say slow, means that the time between each snap is long?

poor means the transfer rate slow lor...

usually u will only experience this if u burst la...then u will find maybe few shots cannot take pic anymore..ur memory card is choking.(assuming u r taking pics in JPEG, later let ppl say slow fps pulak )

Darling Harbour, Sydney.

found this pic that i took back in 2007 with my Canon A80 4MP cam, which is now RIP in my cupboard.

Camera: Canon Powershot A80
Speed: 2s
Aperture: f/4
Focal length: 8mm

interestingly, there's no record of any ISO value in the EXIF

yea, when u cold start your camera, I waited for almost half a minute before it can start writing into the CF card when i have about 900+ pics... and it takes around 3 to 5 seconds to preview your pics after u snap it... unlike the Sandisk that i using now, right away can preview after i snap...

d4rkholeang3l: Well honestly... your picture isn't done well. You chopped off the bridge on the right. It is quite irritating to see it that way.

mastering89: White dots are because you turned off Long Exp. NR so it cannot perfrom Black Frame Subtraction.

hey guys, thanks for the opinion... ya, maybe i was going all out wif my feelings..

alright, the theme is '1 Sungai Melaka Maju 2010' ..heck , wat type of theme is this...

from wat i had been told, i am to take photographs of melaka river and the things around it whether at night or daytime...

i actually submitted about 6 photographs..but of course, i do think that there are only 1 best photo among those i submitted...

my focus for the pic i uploaded earlier is the sign ' 1 Malaysia, MELAKA MAJU 2010' at the top left,


here are the other shots i submitted :

1) (submitted without border)


2)


3)


4)


5)



P/S: Actually, I got over it already, just need some sincere opinion from u guys...
@ William: that guy seriously is a newbie la...but photography is abstract, maybe wat i see is not what others see...so, well... live wif it, haha...no use complaining oso...

ray, where is his pic? do let us see what is your definition of newbie. then maybe we can probably agree with you that there could be the judges fault?

mastering, nice compo, but lack of details :/

how come F8+iso100 would take up 30sec? u use ND? and why there is noise on the water?

i think the softness of the pic cause by the 30sec? is it windy?

mastering89,

If you only take long exposures (more than 1 second) once in a while, leave Long Exp. NR on.

If you are going to take fireworks it would be more practical to leave it off. That way in between shots you're not waiting.

For "black frame subtraction" - you'll have to take one shot with the lens cap on, which will give you just a black picture with white spots. You then subtract this picture from all your other fireworks pictures so the white spots are gone! Google will help you with the rest.

Also - try cropping your landscape to the bottom-right quarter. That's a more interesting picture.

d4rkholeang3l,

It happens. Sorry lah but the bridge being cropped was really a turn off even though the exposure is nice and the colors were vibrant. Some simple shots may have a lot more meaning.

I've judged a competition before (with some other judges) and I was surprised to see this very plain shot win in a particular category. Everyone has different tastes. I don't even agree with the judges' picks sometimes over at the Alphanatics competition.

seeing everyone spam reflection on water, i also wan~ lol



sadly the pic a bit spoiled by the walkway on the bottom right, because i cant cross the 'ropes' to shoot(*not safe), anyhow, my borrowed gigantic tripod cant pass also.... lol

Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!! RED card for 2 of u. Satu Nikon satu Canon pics posted in Sony thread. Both red card n disqualified.

Hahaha xpa la bah..
A good thing to share mah.. Even not from alpha cams..
Y give red cards terus? Give yellow cards first loh

Anyway, if pic taken with NEX can share here kah? No, cannot? Coz n0t from Alpha?

a lot of ppls is using feeling and creative to shoot the photo..
Maybe he is new in DSLR .. but doesn't mean he is poor in creative and feeling

Btw, since he just get his DSLR 2 days ago.. with 1st prize winning, sure kena poison kwa kwa

keputusan pengadil adalah muktamad,
segala surat mennyurat tidak akan dilayan - haha

ieR : noise probably because i forgot to turn on Long Exp Noise Reduction =( . it was dark already , i cant use smaller aperture bcoz dont have remote shutter. and got ulat (dust) inside sensor belum clean , clearly seen if use smaller aperture

albnok : thank u for the info's. will take note after this. the cropping part i dont get, which part to crop??

going melaka today, hope can get good shots
