Hello everyone! So long din check this thread already...finally break away from my busy jobs & can start editing my 3 months pending photos... This is my 2nd wedding shooting, many thanks with William for assisting me. For this wedding I try to play a bit with wireless flash to backlit the couple and done a lot more colour adjustment & effect compare to my previous shooting. Because the client seems to be in love with the vintage style...but my A700 isn't a Lomo camera tongue.gif feel free to comment.

Added on August 28, 2010, 4:14 ambtw. any news on when A55 going to be available in Malaysia? suddenly feel like wanna play with its AMAZING VIDEO Function with outstanding focusing!! I never thought I will want another camera smaller than A700..but I wonder is this going to be a downgrade or upgrade... since the Spec seems to be WAY better than the old A700... (other than the conventional controls which A700 still definitely leading.. n magnesium body)

Im curious to try out this lens.. I wonder how's the result of f1.8 at this wide... If this lens has very good image quality even at f1.8, I'll get it!

very nice series there~ thumbup.gif

however the air cond remote in number 6 is very very distracting.

Thanks. hahaha Thats her hp.. somemore I highlight it a bit.. actually i can choose to easily clone it away.. but on second thought maybe It could make a statement or something, since d bride is smsing her groom all the while that morning. haha.. mayb is a lame idea.

wow the a55 cAF definitely look promising le....... how many wanna buy n get tt soon?? clivengu nice shots....looks tight place??  i like the backlit bride dress shot.....but erm the colour is it whitebalance off or soemthing?? on my comp seems weird...maybe go home n see better
*
Technically the whitebalance totally out... because the original warm colour balance doesnt give the mood.. so instead i give it a dramatic shift to icy cold. tongue.gif just try out different colour.

Without editing.. this photo is pretty boring tongue.gif just add on some texture to it... The groom is suppose to bow... i guess is just alang alang.. so cannot tell what he is doing? the guy outside.. i notice that.. but i have nothing to clone and replace him...hahah.

Now is time for me to kaotim my Europe photos..

Btw.. is there a way to keep the DRO effect within the RAW file to be able to edit inside adobe camera raw? the effect is shown in my A700 but it will not apply when edit them in ACR... a bit troublesome when i have to edit over 2.6k of photos.. rclxub.gif

Yesterday I tried out the latest IDC... i find it very SLOWWww in responding.. not use to it..donno how can I batch edit it... Headache donno should i edit the raw file in ACR one by one or use the IDC slower software.. rclxub.gif

clivengu: Fill light is the same thing. Use that instead of DRO.

Of course, different RAW software does their fill light differently, so pick the one that looks best to you. Personally having seen DxO and Lightroom... strong DRO can look bad with skintones.

d4rkholeang3l: I like #4. I see that you're trying to go for the ambient light mixed in... though you could do that when the light is stronger than that. Like warm light from the street lamp versus flourescent light from a shop signboard. Have her stand in between those for example.
*
yeah im using the fill light n Black to do the DRO effect in ACR.. guess to shoot raw i really have to do d extra works.. piece by piece.. but get to tweak as flexible as i want to. I should just OFF the DRO completely cause it really can trick me into thinking shooting a correct exposure

Hahaha yeah A700 cannot be replaced by A33/55 cause the controls everything.. i cannot miss my A700 Dual dials... but waiting for A700 replacement is like forever.. 2 years + oredi..

There is only 2 main things im looking into for A55 compare to A700.

1. Video recording with Phase autofocus
2. superior ISO performance compare A700..

Others things like tilted LCD liveview is meanly for Video..

The Rest A700 is sufficient enough for me. I love the solid magnesium body the most.
