err sorry to be blunt ... i guess it's better to advise your friend/relative to get a pro .. please don't screw up other ppl's once in a life time mia wedding

I did some shots before on my friends and cousins wedding dinner, although i'm not the official photog. To be frank with you, I had a hard time getting fast enough shutter speed to freeze movement while trying to preserve as much ambient light as possible on my 5DmarkII+430EXII. I also found that I am using ISO 1000 and above throughout the function.

just my noob 2 junk cent. Perhaps other sifu may give you more pointer.

why everyone can do that and i can't? . I love that motivating motto of yours, but your motto does not really fit for his situation.. I assume that he had no prior experience in shooting a banquet before. A Chinese banquet with over thousands of people is way to dynamic for our dual core brain to comprehend. Yet alone for a none experienced trying to take up the main photog role without any proper gears. OK i'm not trying to emphasize on gears here as I know there's ppl who use powershot could beat the hell out of us with dslr. To me it's all about experience honed and it's not as simple as "you can then i can", if the world is that simple then everyone's a billionaire

Just as what i posted earlier, do not screw up one's wedding. It's not a job for the non experienced unless he's the backup photog.
Why bother getting all teh brain fug for nothing in case screwed up ? especially when the "client" is your friend or family members.

ehhh any prime sifus with 135L mind to share some full body portrait shots @ F2 ? i cant really find much at flickr as most of them were head or 1/3 body shots

going bkk soon hopefully can get some cheap stuff aahaha.

nice blur blur, any more ?

+1
pretty much shiok sendiri hahhaa I also malas to renew my application.

70-200F4IS is good but bokeh wise ...zzzzzzz

good haul, any idea how much does 135F2L cost over there? cheapest quoted here kat bolehland were 3280 tapi midvalley no stock

to snap small thingy ...

some sample which only a 1:1 or higher mag lens capable of doing, of course there's alternate cheap method such as reverse mount.

My 50f1.8 had been collecting dust for few years until recently i decided to bring it out for some exercise. I'm really surprise with the bokeh it could produce at F2 as there's no apparent pentagon shaped bokeh as reported by most ppl !

this 50F1.8 is tack sharp @ F2 on 5dII with some micro-adjustment and this el-cheapo lens gonna be a keeper

test junk shot.

sifu sifu,

i'm not sure whether this had been discuss before or not... i'm wondering what's the proper workflow for raw ? My ultimate goal is to preserve as much image details as possible.


a) use DPP convert and save raw to jpg without resize. then edit via lr or ps and save as jpg/png?

b) use DPP convert and save raw to tiff 8/ 16 bit without resize then edit via lr or ps and save as jpg/png?

c) Png or JPg format ?

d) mind to share ya workflow ?

tq

errr how did you get your raw imported to LR, my LR2 don't seems to support raw from my cam

yeap there's error when i try to import raw to LR2, it say unsupported files or something..
