its called 'hair light', its a normal thing in modeling photos, to give separation of dark hair against a dark background, if its light hair, it gives more shine.

lowepro slingshot a200 is good.

Added on July 7, 2010, 10:29 amthat really depends..

how big is this project?how much revenue will they expect to get back through this advertisement? what kind of shot are you doing?with or without lightings?

the price can range from few hundred to few thousand and rarely but possibly, tens of thousand(if u are bold enough ).

and you need to put in your cost for the prints as well.

well..im sure they wont tell me their revenue...but their product roughly priced @ SGD500 each(similar to ipad)...lighting??well..most of the product shots involve lighting of coz..and no printing cost for me..i only taking care of shooting..and editing(if needed)..



i know..i do have friend doing product shot for SGD15k per day..i consulted him..but he didnt really tried this kind of small shoots b4..lol..and of coz..i wouldnt compare me against him..so even for small scale shoot..his price might not be realistic for my standard..

did they give you their budget?

so if they manage to sell about 100 products through the shots you take they will be earning SGD50,000 before tax and other cost fees.

charging a few thousand should be ok i guess?

but the range is quite big, 1k to 10k. see how bold you can get, or maybe you can quote them SGD9999 and say its negotiable?

Here's the output from gouki's video just now . more iphone ads

wey im at klcc
The nex fisheye is rm399 only weh. Ada 1 only cepat2 grab XD

ishhh..uncle ian say got money also cannot buy..

BUY LA U! save it for future.

but for NEX only right..
that one got stabilize?

8tvt : You do not really need stabilization for a fish-eye lens. Remember the rule for stable shots? 1/focal length shutter speed or higher. A fisheye is rarely (or can I say never) more than 16mm in focal length, so achieving a 1/16 shutter speed or higher is very, very doable in almost all conditions.

mastering, beli laaa... Cheap ma.

joke of the day:

oh thanks..
my bad.. thought a tiny camera tend to shake..
and noticed other lens got it built in the lens itself..

NEX got built in SSS already if not mistaken.

this one i quote form review..



i just intrigued how they manage to squeeze the camera..
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonynex5nex3/page3.asp

they should just use A-mount and add up more lenses..

oooo..my bad there...=)

@ 1utama sony had the roadshow..
manage to try NEX3 and 5.. err.. NEX-5 a little bit smaller..
quite light and easy to move around with it..
but really need to get use the menu..

ianho: Sweet!

I use Child Priority Face Detection to play "guess who my camera thinks looks younger"!

d4rkholeang3l: It's good but get the HSM OS version - the non-HSM version has some cases of gear stripping.

braindead_fr3ak: The NEX still cannot replace the dSLR for certain applications e.g. when you need bounce flash or wireless flash. So I wouldn't have sold the camera if I were you.

One could get used to the interface, and I don't think it's impossible to make a accessory port to PC Sync/ISO hotshoe adapter.

I bring my dSLR everywhere, by the way!

Str33tBoY: Go down to the pool and take pictures! Don't go further than F16 - you'll get diffraction, a slight softening on the details.

lwliam: I am liking your two recent pictures!

Try laughing instead. It will be contagious.

zstan: If you have the chance to pose them, push the cloth on the right, back a bit. Otherwise I like the color and the realism of the picture!

Mikeshashimi: Problem with compacts is, if you're going somewhere where you can bring the dSLR, you'd do that instead of the compact. You'll probably realize the compact loses colors and dynamic range. As for the dog shot - I use high ISO in daylight to freeze motion.

Uzumaki NaruTo: Eh, hair light is very important! If I had only two lights, I'd have one main light, and one hair light. Or else the hair will blend into the shadows!

achew: Practice at home first with a shiny object - shiny objects are the hardest to shoot while having a good-looking reflection.

zstan: No sensor-shift SteadyShot on the NEX. They have Optical SteadyShot on the Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS and Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 Active OSS.

8tvt: The flange distance (from sensor to mount) is different.

Coz I bought the last 1 from The Curve ma. The guy there didnt even wanna take it out for me. I actually went in about 5 minutes earlier n another salesman brought out a new unit for me but I told him let me think about it 1st. 5 minutes later I went back n told the other salesman I want the Fisheye n he said no more stock. I told him dont bluff la, the other guy showed me new unit just 5 minutes ago only the fella sold it to me. He must have wanted last unit for himself. Dirty bugger.




I really dont understand y so many ppl complaining about the menu. We're basically changing Aperture n ISO only most of the time. Aperture is damn easy by just turning the thumbwheel. ISO is just a few clicks but the Auto ISO from 200-1600 is more than enuf for most situations anyway. The only thing I really dont like about NEX is base ISO of 200. Makes a hell lot of diff when at bright places like the beach.
