*high 5*
I wanted to ask the same ques too but then it's a bit early since I won't be back in Pg till mid nov
I heard that you can get the cheapest price in Penang Road compared to KL or other places
BTW, there's a thread on which shop is recommended in Penang here - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=895144&hl=


Thanks for the suggestion guys

ahpingko: your #6 is overexposed. the other pics might work with that style (some overexposed skin) since your editing is high contrast with the aging effect... but for #6 the overexposed skin made it look like a not proper shot.

as far as i'm concerned, skin tones are always better on Alpha compare to Nikon (often orange-ish) or Canon (often red-ish).... unless you used bad white balance, high saturation or high contrast.

NEX 5 is ok..

but as for the UV filter, i think its a bit a lot overpriced... probably by around 200% more

there are a few shops along Penang Road - Megastar, Hike, ClicknSnap, just to name a few
no harm scouting those along there
prices should be able to match the best that KL has to offer, e.g., got my NEX3 twin kit for 2300 with mem card and screen protector from that area

cjlai: wat macro lens r u using? super sharp and nice...

wah..BG grip for a230/a330/a380...am interested...but it seems onli can hit the shutter n not other functions rite?

Guys/Gals/Sifus...can you provide advice for the following?



Base on the above setting, for Camera position 1 and Camera position 2,
1. Which focus point should i use (for cam1, A/B/C/D/E?) (for cam2, A/B/C/D/E?)
2. What setting should i use for
a. AF mode (AF-S, AF-A, AF-C)
b. Focus point (Wide, Spot, Local)
c. Which mode (Aperture, Shutter, Manual)
d. If on tripod, (Aperture value = ?, Shutter value = ?)
e. if on handheld, (Aperture value = ?, Shutter value = ?)
3. For e, mayb is too subjective...but assuming Night time and day time.

Having problem with this cos dunno how to take these pictures...

Hope i can get some guidance...before i try again....

Thanks...

Agreed.. summore its Digieye brand... should be no more than rm50 no?

Yup, the people at Hike really know their stuff. Most of them are avid photographers themselves. I got my 55-200mm from there last time, and they invited me for an outing to kek lok si right after some chit-chat... Really friendly people

eh..from what i see, not overexposed wor....u using mac ?

What i can say from the info u gave, is that its insufficient..

what event is this? who are the ppl? are there any importance of order of the seating?

1. Which focus point should i use (for cam1, A/B/C/D/E?) (for cam2, A/B/C/D/E?) - refer to my question above
2. What setting should i use for
a. AF mode (AF-S, AF-A, AF-C) - AF-A should be sufficient
b. Focus point (Wide, Spot, Local) - i'd recommend Local
c. Which mode (Aperture, Shutter, Manual) - if lighting is fixed, use Manual, else, use Aperture
d. If on tripod, (Aperture value = ?, Shutter value = ?) - does not matter if you really ask this question, most importantly make sure shutter speed is fast enough to prevent motion blurring
e. if on handheld, (Aperture value = ?, Shutter value = ?) - same as above
3. For e, mayb is too subjective...but assuming Night time and day time.

one more important question you forgot to ask... WHITE BALANCE. its one of the most important components amongst others.

Hey, what event are you trying to cover blowsh?

I'm Assuming that its a meeting of some sort (so people won't be moving around.)
1.focus point (local) for camera A should not be on A (should be on the people on the either sides.) (But if you want to emphasis on A, then you should focus on A and use a large aperature to make A stand out more).
Cam 2 should be aiming to capture the faces of A,B,C,D,E.
I think you can try to take some pictures in between A & B.

b. metering (I personally prefer spot, but if all of them are wearing black suits, it will make the whites in your pics over exposed so know when to change to local metering.)

c. Aperture for me! Manual is hard if you want to capture those "special" moments.

d. & e. both are up to you. depends on the lighting of the room. If its too dark and your shutter speed goes too low, use a tripod or use a large aperture. If you have a flash gun, hand held FTW! as it allows you to move freely around without people tripping on your tripod.

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps =)
