eh 350D user go 1000D waste money la. straight go at least 500D then worth.

oh so sorry. i blur cos that time no lunch yet. hu hu hu.

temporary only.

filter ok wan. my 50mm f1.8 with filter also no issue. image nicely accepted by picky people also.

next time hor, don't dumb at McD. please pass to me.

for me as long as color looks acceptable is fine, i can adjust in software anyway. prefer to have protection.

both also wrong, cos it's AI-Servo. not AF-Servo.

but bear in mind also that one drain your battery kau kau cos it constantly moves the motor to maintain focus.

how you know the colors are unretouched?

any fyi everything looks great when thumbnail.

hard to compare unless you do an actual comparison of same scene and same sensor.

if not then everything people send often already PPed, some more resized.


yes. I have Sigma and Canon lenses. I do find Sigma gives warmer feel.

other than that, Canon picture style alone is enough to affect JPGs so much.

that also not considering other brand's production of color vs their color profile vs their lens used.

Added on November 14, 2010, 4:48 pm7D can but they limit you to use 7D AF with L lens. gila wan if i use 7D want to shoot landscape and events, UWA is only EF-S 10-22, no L for UWA on 7D. for short zooms, no L can beat the EF-S 17-55 and EF-S 15-85 la......... but no choice to CPS i still need to get 2L cos 7D alone not enough. Best lens for 7D also not enough.

nice attempt there, like the 1st one. some distractions here and there (upper right, lower right) but it's alright.

2nd one looks under-exposed, note the bowl cover at the back. when wrongly lit it will blend into the subject. that one is a big NO NO.

you're welcome. you kena critiqued by me only, that also I'm REALLY far from being the best out there.

i kena critiqued by top (and highly experienced) photographers from Malaysia / Singapore! but i learn a lot from them also la.

last week, some of you who follow my facebook / twitter - will know more or less, or at least part of what I went through. http://www.twitpic.com/31sijv

too lengthy to share but i will write about it later on.

to put it short - i applied for The MPA UK's (refer http://www.thempa.com/index.php ) Licenciate qualification. After consulting the local top guy, i was advised to go with my food photos since they're my best and apply for Licenciate in the category under commercial / industrial.

i tell you despite going through my years of work - looking for my Top 20 best photo for the initial review session also so difficult. I added a few more but my best food photos I think most of them didn't make the cut. took some advice from the industry experts (they don't come to forums wan la) and understood the craft better - then improved my shots blablablablablablbala.

this is part of the reason why i go missing for a bit. it's NOT and easy thing to pass if you donno what you're doing. Basically my 20 were on prints and were being judged by a few Singapore's top photographers, CEO of the association and one local top guy - and I passed! phew! after that one of my work won in The MPA South East Asia Annual Photo Convention's Print Competition, for the category Commercial / Industrial. (this event : http://www.thempa.com/yervant/ )

i took this qualification thing as a challenge, to see if my skill was up to THEIR very strict standards. it was really fun. cost me a lot of time, sweat, money and sleep but it was well worth it.

ehh shouldn't it be less already? 550D + 18-55 IS price RM 2,799 quite a while already. AFAIK body drop price bit kit set last i know that time no drop la. i thought maybe could've drop already since 60D came out.

haha. say only lens wait also buy. flash wait also buy. ipad no wait also buy.

depends on individual la. technology move so fast every 2 - 3 years you stick to 3 digit body also consider upgrade.

aiyah you can look at all who gave advise, most of them tell people what THEY WANT, not what the fella looking advice needs. hehe.

example fruitie mentioned wan, it's her shopping list!!! you see how soon she get L la. hehe.

yeah, no grass please.

if buy glass also i make sure i can afford them. eating grass = cannot afford.

if whole world women are like you then no misunderstanding liao, so easy to read. hahahaha.

@kytz - white balance is not too bad but could be brighter, then you're still careless with the distraction. go higher angle and i can, widen the DOF. good work on this one. not necessarily have to go closer, you can use crop.

people who say they go rehab usually not going to rehab wan. hehehe. probably they just going to listen to Amy Winehouse' Rehab.

CPL. bought mine many years back. till now i think i use it less than 10 times.

i think it's a 72mm.
