nice one.. ahahhaha...

anyway, happy deepavali~~~!

actually what does 5th november means?

Mikeshashimi : haha, thanks

zstan : a cool speech, from an awesome movie! V for Vendetta. and then.. 'anonymous' were born. google it!

fansoption: No stock, not don't have. I have tried Lensbabies in A-mount.

Uh... the distributor for Lensbabies in Malaysia is quite blur. So I wouldn't expect the staff to be trained well.

shootkk: Interesting idea on #5 and I quite like the untraditional composition of #6.

There are also Zeiss lenses with good bokeh, like the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm F2.4 DDR in M42 mount.

zstan: The A230/A330/A380 do not have the 3-pin wired remote shutter port.

Also not true - the Zeiss lenses I have come across have excellent flare control.

evilhomura89: I wonder if DxO Labs will release DxO Optics Pro with support for the A55/NEX-5 etc. I've been waiting to process RAWs with my favorite RAW converter!

ieR: You can however use Release Priority to fire the shutter immediately when pressing the IR remote, or switch the camera to MF.

destfull: Not yet, probably in 2 weeks.

mastering89: There is a minimum shutter speed of 1/50s which the camera has to do in order to get 25 FPS. So when it is dark it will not be able to do +2 EV in video.

All lenses have a circular aperture when shot wide open.

cjlai: Don't the other buttons work with all Alphas with an IR receiver... provided you've plugged it into a HD TV?

wha7ever, congratulations! Nice shot!

wingster: The Zeiss 135mm F1.8 is definitely not the Minolta/Sony 135mm F2.8/T4.5 STF. Crop!

zstan: Which camera has TWO Live View sensors going on?

finejava: Welcome back! A bit lacking in punch; bring up the contrast on the Matterhorn?

laszlo: Nice, though would prefer his eyes looking at the camera.

laszlo : hensem . erm i couldnt find about the 'anonymoust' thou


albnok : any other means to boost light?
enhancing ISO can brighten the video (boost ISO before recording?) no different

anyone heard of freelensing(link)?? <-- snap pic without lens (with lens but not mounted)
[FlickR group on Freelensing] Really nice , like lensbaby

Lol. Its from the movie V for Vendetta la. The mask is called Guy Fawkes mask i think. Go google.

@albnok: Aww I see, so you prefer the crop one?

Here's the final retouch, little dreamy look + 1.5EV Tone Map HDR.
(its all about Photoshop or post-processing feedback + discussion :])

3/4 quarter body size


crop medium shot

special thanks to Sony Malaysia. free gift during KLPF 2010.

(t-shirt, bag, the wrist band on the flash gun, landyards, etc. )

a very very cheap version of the gorilla pod..

How much you bought the Gorillapod for?

albnok : ok, will give better eye contact next time, the mask is too big, that it's distracting

mastering89 : info on anonymous : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)

freddy manson : thanks, 2 flash were used

e-jump : why not get wireless trigger? I got Phottix Aster (1 transmitter, 3 receiver), for RM 220 from Digitalsmania. need to buy converter for body and adapter for Sony flash after that tho

I personally like the 2nd one.. but 2nd one cannot see what she's holding.. so i'll go wif the 1st one. =D

its not the gorillapod.

rm35 including postage.

finejava: welcome bak... not yet 1 year la.... almost half a year? haha.... may b adding contrast on the matterhorn would b better?

its from Photography Accessories section right? Think I've seen that b4. How is it? I dun dare to buy cuz scared not strong enough cam fall.

its more like a 2-in-1 thnigie. i get another flash that can trigger my f58.
the range should be OK with me as i previously work with my a300 strobing

errrr..you need to secure it really really properly before u let go..

not recommended if you are rushing to take your shots.
