AF, but using MF is possible.

placing of the subject conveys different meanings. the 'right side' rule is only a guide, and it is not necessary to stick to it. when i put it like this, it conveys MORE speed, as though its so fast, it travels OUT of the frame trailing everything behind.

yea, pretty close. Had full access to all tracks. Was at turn 2 and at the turn right before entering the straight towards the hairpin.

ooo, no, those 2 shot not taken at turn 2.. Motogp, i no invite.. ):

lol, kevin, price wise when compared to other CZs, the 16-80 is quite cheap in comparison.

Sillhoutte, you're venturing into expensive poisonous territory. Thread carefully. Nex is good.

30mm 2.8.. hmmm, i'd rather go for 50mm 2.8 macro

haha, looks like a cut scene from Gran Turismo 4



Camera Sony DSLR-A700
Exposure 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture f/25.0
Focal Length 200 mm
ISO Speed 100

another GT4 cut scene look alike



Camera Sony DSLR-A700
Exposure 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture f/10.0
Focal Length 210 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias -0.3 EV
Flash Off, Did not fire

what are race events without the girls?



Camera Sony DSLR-A700
Exposure 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture f/7.1
Focal Length 70 mm
ISO Speed 400
Exposure Bias +0.3 EV
Flash Off, Did not fire

coz its not a famous publicized event, those were the actual race shots.

like that also can?

what kind of problem have the users that you heard from experienced? so far here, there's nothing much apart from old kit lenses suffer from stripped gear. probably like 2-3 out of 50 maybe? getting a 2nd hand kit lens will cost you peanuts compared to sending it in for repair. they are like china-made-DVD-players... once spoilt, buy another one...

if you really plan on upgrade, how much is budget? have you done your homework on what you need at review sites?

in that case, you'd probably find the A550 would be quite sufficient. good ISO. easy to handle, not too big so that you can easily bring it around. basically, i see it as a fun and serious camera in one package... hence, a seriously fun camera! try your hands on one if u got the chance. try look for the camera in low yat/sg wang instead of going to sony centre.. at sony centre, the prices are pretty much fixed

shoot more.. more hands on... practice... these are sufficient in skill upgrading. unless you're willing to pay a HUGE sum of money to go learn something u can easily know from practice, then sure, i can teach u... rather than give the money to 1 mentor 50 students class... i can do a 1 to 1 class for u at a fraction of the cost, and i'll buy you dinner after each class

majority of my panning shots were taken using shutter priority with 1/40s

yes

i also got.... i also got....

shutter speed kept around 1/40 - 1/80 seconds... use shutter priority so that you dont have to care about aperture size..

kantoi... pixel line die d...
