freddy manson : haha next time i bring my own cd. also sifu albnok alredy tell his place to process... will try there next time 

d4rkholeang3l : eh i oso got that shirt  .nice pic, just the first one terpotong the head abit .

last weekend i attend the PM newbie model shoot. the sifu there say never cut cut on the model's limb, face, head , joints (elbow,knee,wrists,etc).
also a simple guide he gave to the models is bend anything that is bend-able. try look at this sifu guiding the model...



the model was not a tall person, so the sifu show how correct posing technique can manipulate the outcome of the picture. with bending the arms, legs, tilting the head and body makes the model looks more interesting. rather than standing still or stiff  . but if self potrait surely damn hard la kena tekan shutter and lari to position 

Woot. Isn't that darkh4leong's (I don't know how his nick is spelled though) shot? I remember that time we were arguing on 550D and a550.
So did he win anything? I haven't bought this month's edition yet, hope to get one tomorrow.

lol give ler 8gb ke..

congrats!!     

rayng: IMHO, not as sharp as i thought it would be. kind of disappointed... thinking of selling mine real soon... you can ask MoO's opinion also... but i feel i prefer this compared to the 50mm 1.8 despite the smaller aperture.

should i sell my 5600HS and fund for a cobra? or should i keep and fund for a cobra from scratch?

rayng: dont be in doubt.. you wont regret buying the 28mm... sell ur 50mm... lol... do u need the extra 22mm wider or the wider aperture? when i bought the 28mm i targeted the 'wide-ness'...

Got to agree, flash kinda spoils the bokeh.

hmm. how close were u to the runway?

the new 35mm also has the same light gathering capabilities mar..no?

i want a 70-200mm f2.8!!! ):

on aps-c even killing.

the range 

For the Lulz:



this was shot with the 28mm f2.8

rayng: a sample for your consideration, abit distorted but bokeh is not too bad...

one of my pictures that got published.    just found out only..though its for my dad's book and i did not receive any accreditation..

eh...all say go pc fair take girls pic why so few only..

but i bet u guys didn't see this :


almost kena halau from the shop for taking this 
loving my new lens larrr... won be settling anything less than constant f2.8 lens anymore.

btw a noob question:

i noticed at 17mm f2.8, my shots are sharp in the centre but soft as it approaches the side.

does this has to do with the sharpness of the lens of the depth of field?

will a CZ at 17mm produce a sharp shot throughout the whole image?

and wtf is wrong with alphanatics?!

not same la.. how to compare..

ray, firstly, what are you looking for in changing lenses? Just for the sake of changing or to achieve a certain level/effect/output that is not doable on the 50mm 1.8? Yes, the baby beercan is indeed sharp, could be in some ways sharper than the 50mm even. But you're losing a lot of light with the baby beer. Comparing 1.8 with 4.0, is a huge gap. If i were you, i'd keep the 50mm, and save for the baby beer if i really want it. In this case, i have both. 50mms are nearly always indispensable. Then again, i got my baby beercan from a brother in arms for an irresistable price.

d4rkholeang3l: Honestly? No.

The 30mm F2.8 DT SAM Macro makes a cheap and good add-on which is wider.

hiansitt: Use double-sided tape.
