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

im trying to get the dreamy2 one but tak jadi or the place tak sesuai..
sorry2 my mistake . its iso 400 =(
mistaken for another shot's exif

anyways mana lagi nice beach near kl area eh?

oh sky at melaka so blue today
sadly i havent buy cpl yet .

porkchop : its not dust, its because i off the Long Exposure Noise Reduction. go few pages back sifu albnok got explain. but the black ulat thingy is surely dust

d4rkholeang3l : i just go balik hari. UGPM.

another pic from Gold Coast

aiyaa. forgot to clean before go yesterday. dusty dots still ok. can see the ulat (long black thingy)

zstan : haha i rarely clean, because rarely see dust as i dont use much of small aperture >F/16 . now i know need to prepare ,test and clean everytime go for shooting

wingster : oh thanks, noted . haha my friend say can put tis pic like those calender ones but then i show them the dust they lol'd

wingster : actually i was trying long exposure, but clearly not very nice or suitable at that place. anyways, got my lesson . next time kena make sure clean before go

albnok : i'll try post that later thanks

e-jump : nice shot . the Samyang 85 f1.4 if to take pic like the one u took, how far should you stand from the subject?
can spam some pic at wide open. considering next haul either this or 50mm 1.4

my first macro try. shot while England kena belasah by Germany seriously .




this dragon flew dunno from where inside my house sat on my phone (the red thingy is the capdase cover). i quickly grab camera and flash snap2. then bring this fella out. haha

also without flash surely cant take this pic. taken at F/32 and F/16 inside house where got enuff light

ahpingko : flash widen your photography scope, like im now learning to strobe, jumping shots, some others. u like macro sure u need flash

e-jump : very nice . the bokeh from your previous shot wide open 85mm 1.4 dem nice also. but i still dunno if im up to full manual lens (aperture and focus) . and the distance to full body shots abit too far for me

morning spam of trip balik kampung


if have sky like this everyday, i sure will get CPL very soon.

kopitiam : wah so cheap. i got mine rm450 at Key Color shop beside Sony Center mid valley. the RRP was damn rm599. Damn untung Sony woh

hey anyone letting go their CPL or ND8 62mm filter thread. i want the slim ones only, do pm me

waiting for long exposure my friend snap pic of me


freddy manson : not only the NEX ads. Sony's ads also susah jumpa. Sony really dont do much publicity, all big big event like DCIM also Sony no join. Sony really otai one

haha lwliam so happy =)

close up filter just reduce the minimum focussing distance, hence magnify it. i suggest you get the +4 ones. the +10 tends to be sharp only at the middle part of the image and losses alot of IQ. my 2 cents

anyone joining PM newbies model shoot in City this saturday at Dataran Merdeka there. RM15 only

if you dont mind aperture wise. try get the sal16-106
cover most of the range. pair nicely with flash to cover non constant aperture. sharp at wide open and nearly as good as cz1680

im sure can get used ones around ur budget

sorry my mistake
if its me , with that kind of budget i'll get a kitlens 1855 with flash f42 used one..
having flash is much more fun. more things i can do or can take with flash. bounce + ambient better than wide aperture with less sharp or noisy pic

but abit heavier to carry around thou. just my 2 cents. also if you get lucky abit can get sal1855 (rm250) + f42 flash (rm500) + 50mm 1.8(rm350)

iamKiet : for that setup, usually they use more expensive strap like the blackrapid or something. Also sometimes bringing extra body lagi berat XD

hiansitt : haha one birthday party just get few alkaline one . IKEA ones are cheap and good .

alucard_my : pop up flash GN is around 12m. if add on diffuser sure shorter. also sometimes if pair with long lenses even sal1870 can get that big big shadow

thinking of getting that Industry Disgrace also but the KLCC branch say current stock only have brown and the other one i forgot what color .

people say nikon cls is better why eh??
what so special about it? (compare to sony)

what i saw they say only more functions but abit harder to access. what functions???

ok i found they also say much better control than sony. and can control flash power from body . other than that?
