mike: there is no budget yet. i m setting a goal so that i can save enough to hit it.
there are some people who recommend me to go on 50mm f1.4. 50mm is nice but not versatile for event shooting like parties because there will be alot of group shots. This post has been edited by Windy87: Sep 11 2010, 01:50 PM |

ieR: i read a lot of review that says tammy 17-50mm have slow AF. is that true?
eugenechiuu: true, my batt cant even last 900 shots in my 4gb. better buy 1 few CF card so that if got error u dont waste all ur pictures. This post has been edited by Windy87: Sep 11 2010, 01:51 PM |

QUOTE(cjlai @ Sep 11 2010, 03:04 PM) to me i'll choose for body upgrade as i dun like to carry flash together werever i go.... high iso to me is important.... and now is the good time to get a550 since many ppl throwing price or sell off for the new slt.... i was comparing against the a550 and the a700.for lens i'll choose 17-50 over 1680cz... imho i still think f2.8 is more important that the T*   both have about the same specs. the noise handling seem better on the a550. but still alot favours a700. shud i get a700 or a550? a700 on average is around 2.3. and a550 is around 1.8k |

QUOTE(albnok @ Sep 12 2010, 10:38 PM) Windy87: The most practical solution is to use a flash. thanks for the tutorial.. To make colors vibrant, simply set your Creative Style to Vivid and adjust contrast and saturation as you like. I like Vivid +1 +2 +3. I've reworked your shot a bit, making masks for both the face and tie (hint: you can use a color channel as a mask; it's a lot faster than painting it in): » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ahpingko: Didn't go to SRJK© mah.  zstan: Firstly, your WB is a bit off - a bit cold. After fixing that, I pulled up the reds that were 'hiding' behind the very strong blues. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I've written a tutorial here to recover colors, which I used for both your picture and Windy87's: http://www.glaringnotebook.com/default.asp?id=1313 nicely writen. now over-blown pictures can be save.. hahhaa.. |

QUOTE(lwliam @ Sep 13 2010, 12:32 PM) no no no, no unnatural colored lips please... >.< LOL!!i always highlight the lips at maybe around 8-10% opacity. so it wont look too fake and unnatural. can use burn tool @ 8-10% to darkern the eyeball, eyebrown also if the model did not put make up. hahaha!!
