destfull : for me the pics too contrasty, or its just my laptop . try make it vintage look would look nice. also to me, if i have to use high ISO, i'll shoot in B&W. less thing to be considered . if u rajin editing just shoot in RAW

evilhomura89 : my advise, only buy the body(+/-) lens only. dont take extra accessories unless stated in package (bags/tripod). the extra things usually the kedai will tipu u kaw kaw (filters, cleaning tools). . my first time bought dslr the towkey tipu me say cpl is better than UV, charge me damn expensive, i never cabut the cpl for few months, only to know that dont use cpl in dark

evilhomura89 : congrats . alah the cap only rm15-20 iinm.

yuhi : nice place and pics there. where is it btw??

here i wanna confess, i got myself an old lens, the Sigma 28mm f/1.8 Aspherical II (link). damn cheap , so i have to endure this problems, seriously prone to flare, got little fungus and i think the aperture blade is sticky or something . When i on my camera, the aperture should open to wide (if i previously set f/1.8), but sometimes i can see the aperture doesnt open.... but can fix by changing the aperture while holding to the DoF preview button, no problem (yet?) . flaring is not much problem for me ,just it kacau the AF sometimes , but it brings out lovely color . the out put is sharp even at f/1.8, but after f/8 like that not so much dunno why

so here sample spam :
most at f/1.8, no pp done. see how the flare on #3 & #4 .



need to get a lens hood , cant find the original one even at ebay thou. also kena send for fungus cleaning and if can fix the lens abit next month

Mikeshashimi : dunno lah, probably la. the lens is pretty old i think. i cant find reference on internet on it much . btw which tokina lens u get btw?? first i heard some friend saying that DSLT have problem with some Sigma lenses, but didnt come out error or anything. can go send to sigma aa for checking , old lens??

signither : kat mana tuh??

signither : owh. . penah pegi Perth dulu, guna kamera film kodak instant tah mana gamba sume tuh

u doing photoshoot or n*de shooting de . can i come shoot video ?


i noticed something about the Phottix 3rd party battery for a33/a55/nex, sometimes after on the camera it suddenly shuts down and reboots . sometimes after on, took one shot and it turn off suddenly, the picture taken before is missing. also if i change the settings (ISO, fn stuff) all return back as if before it reboots... no problem with ori battery thou, arrrr dun dare put the phottix in my camera no more

oh i missed caturday

flare really kacau the AF

anyone here going to today's Sony workshop at Putrajaya??

most pic i snap with the sigma 28 1.8 old lens has like grey tint, probably lens flare.

jeffrey5337 : try contact few sellers in this forum first.

albnok : haha thanks

Picture taken at Putrajaya yesterday, after the landscape workshop. Really informative workshop

FishEyes are damn gooooooooDDDDD
HDR + FieshEyes are better


FishEye + panorama (sweep) + HDR is awesomeEEE

but can see some things like the segments line of when the a33 capture sweep panorama when HDR-ized

albnok : erm with the sweep panorama at vertical sweep could get more than 180 degrees. didnt try the horizontal one thou. but some frame segments could overlaps due to distortions

zeipher : nice color. if the auntie wore a white shirt and with that facial expression i tell u thats ghost

noprob : naiss car . erm if u shoot car in this situation, do u use cpl??

zstan : ask him to come, say u pose i snap

another HDR at Putrajaya

Putrajaya going thru some renovation here and there, also this month always raining not so nice for those landscape hunters .

shukrie : nice . as if like yuna in final fantasy

i have 1 question, let say the SAM 85mm f2.8 come out and the price is near to the Tamron SP90 . im assuming its better to get the SP90 as it could pair up for macro and should be pretty good in potraiture too rite?? what say u??

my question exactly

i got the Sony one, bought rm30 iinm. used mostly last time transfer image from CF card. now don use much bcoz the MS card need the adapter which mine is missing

a messy bokeh


also made video test the effect of SSS mechanism.
handheld with a little support under the camera (not tripod)






next time i try make with some movement. but not like this
i sayang my cam too much to lari lari like this

i read this one somewher. the user use a camera (Casio High Speed EXILIM EX-FH20) with a very high fps recording capability (210fps) and then playback in normal 30fps. thats why become like dat.
(http://www.petapixel.com/2010/11/25/slow-m...t-from-a-train/)



damn this Casio High Speed EXILIM EX-FH20: (link)
-shutter speed range from 30sec to 1/40000s
-full resolution 9mp can take around 1fps
-at 8mp can take 30fps
-7mp = 40fps OMG
-video can take at 30fps (good quality), 210fps (lesser quality), 1000fps (least quality)
