Is tripod a must for sharp pics? Or does everything count eg exposure, equip, weather??

i m just using a cheapo digi tr38 . rm50 oni .lol n i not frequently use tripod

Haha, my tripod even cheaper, i'm using tables and chairs or walls or what it is that can stabilize the dslr!

Ya, thought of getting the digieye tr38 also......cheap and should be stable from the looks of it  ....no money lah, saving up for my 55-200mm

hei sorry man.. i m not young anymore..i post my picture here to give some comment/ teach me what i can do to get a better picture. then i try to take again. is not like zelleonheart comments that make me no confident to take picture. if you say my picture too blur, too high iso, too noisy, etc etc.. then you just tell/teach me what i can do to get a better picture..YES i' m still new to it..still learning on how to use manual mode. YES i have a bit of attitude problem and i' m trying to learn how to be humble with everyone.

Mayb he comes from a rich family la.... mostly rich ppl will hav too much concern on gears rather den skills, lol....

alright. maybe we can meet at mid valley then

feel free to give me any tips if i do anything wrong in this photos. thanks

Oh yea guys, something to ask here =)
I'm new to bracketing mode, few days ago i tried using bracketing in A mode, it should come out with 3 pictures, with one underexposed, one normal exposed and one overexposed right? But I got 2 normal exposed, one over.

The -2EV looks just the same with 0 EV =X I usually use M mode but Manual can't bracket. is this normal?

nice one.. using 50mm?

for fashion show, can use 70-300mm or not ya?

if too near to the stage, it won't let me press the shutter    but nvm.. next sat i' m going to bon odori at shah alam..try to use my 70-300mm.
i always use WB auto mode. now i wanna try to set myself for WB setting.

My solution to that 1m is get a +1 or +2 close up filter, lol.... perhaps u can go try out one day

Oooo, didn't know that closeup filters can shorten the focal distance......how much for those filters normally?
Wow.....1.4m.....for which lens? 70-300?

You'll never regret getting a 55-200    You can now shoot the moon!!!
Oh btw, just got my 35mm and was busy experimenting with bokeh the whole night hahahaha spam a bit

i think u should wait 25july for full moon cos tmrror would be new moon.

and my body got a lil bit dust. how much for cleaning at nikon service center?

lenspen i already bought but that 1 for lens only lor..not for sensor@body

n lenspen only suitable cleaning external glass only.. not internal...
my lens got lil dust also but very2 tiny n not effect pic but i would want clean as possible and need service since nvr service it since bought.

i used blower many time to blow the dust at my sensor also cnnot remove the dust.

so, my only solution go service at service center since my warranty expriced next months.
but i didnt know izit free or not. so asking here 1st l before go service center

i bought my nikon d3000 few months ago and now i wanted to upgrade my gadgets.

so firstly, im thinking to buy a flashgun and also 35mm(50mm cant fit for d3000 cause no built in motor for d3000)
but now, im not sure which one i should go for first. the flashgun or 35mm?

and for the flash, im considering the nissin Di622 or Sunpak PZ42X. can anyone give me some opinion about it? or is there any other choices.. budget not more than 600 for the flash

i try my fren sunpak pz42x the other day but on my device the flash was not working properly. my fren was using 1000d
and i don know why that problem happened, he said it should be no problem

i need some help from the experts. thanks much

oh okay.. then what's the difference between that nissin and the sunpak le...

i just got reply from nikon service center about price of cleaning, just wan to share

Nikon body sensor cleaning =  RM20.00 for warranty, RM60.00 for non-warranty.
Nikkor lens cleaning = RM130.00 minimum for fungus cleaning.

i've checked, the sunpak also has iTTL

u as TS should put lor.. 

no more since Nikon gv cleaning service to 3rd party company as i read from others forum.
i think last Feb2010..
btw rm20 for underwarranty still ok la..

at DCIM at Midvalley before. got Canon booth with free cleaning.... my fwen all canon.. they very lucky ar
