Ah hao: PM me or sms me, 012 877 0990 if u seriously intent to sell ur nex3.

A33 keypoint, PHASE DETECT, no matter how, its AF is definitely better then Nex.

Went to a Basic Sony Alpha Workshop in KK today.. Lol there were only a few cats there and I was one of the 2 or 3 ppl only to own a NEX... Learnt a bit of stuffs la since I am a total newbie to photography... The speaker from KL, he brought an A33 there for us to play with as well lol... It's not as heavy as I thought it would be... The Multi-Frame ISO function is awesomeeeee....

Apparently they wanted to hire models for us to test shoot initially, BUT too little ppl attending! DAMN

for me la coz i noob... to do all the tweaking of colours and what not.. lol...

eddybeh..love your ice cube macro num 2..the blue colour makes it look cool..
btw,your moon shots,what lens and setting u used.cause i tried shooting yesterday also but when i zoom in the photo on my laptop the photo is not as clear as yours and the pixels are quite obvious at the edges of the moon..

fansoption:thx... was using soket's 75-300 with raynox attached.
jerrylyh: thx. was using 75-300mm. i tink exif is still in the file.

erm..don rili understand.still a noobie..
care 2 explain?

fansoption this ok?

Geng

jerrylyh: blur may b cost by hand shake. when shooting the moon, must step down. my setting was iso 100, aperture f/5.6, shutter speed 1/125. this way u don capture so much light. i found it quite hard to make my shot steady with telephoto so i decided to increase the shutter speed to avoid hand shake blur. i used iso100 to reduce the noise till the maximum. to get sufficient light wit such shutter speed, i have to open aperture wider, in my case, widest f/5.6

wah how come it seems like a lot of NEX users sien with their NEX already?
They should release their E-mount lens faster like this year end instead of next year!

Because they doesn't interest on MF lenses xD ....

@eddybeh: the ice cube is lacking of right color mood IMO .... :/

that's sony punya tactic la,
tarik orang ramai to the a33/a55 lo

also give other people try the NEX ( me me me me me )

any news on third party lens for NEX yet? So far I only know of SLR magic.. But not really iterested in that one..

wingster: i quite agree, i made it darker to cover the background. The background was awful with table and stuff. wasn't aware until i start viewing in my computer. with limited knowledge in photoshop, tat's wat i made. XP any suggestions on how to correct it?

@eddybeh: Just tweak it using Color Balance and Curve should be well done :]

Adjust the color temperature and contrast using curve in different channel would be helpful
