To take moon shot - use low ISO and small aperture. Better if you put the cam on a tripod.

For the seaside pic, meter for the background and let the flash light up the faces.

blowsh : No need f10 lar... f8 can ady... but make sure you can stabilize the camera.

Aiyak! I'm not too familiar with A230. Perhaps you need to read the manual on how to lock the exposure. Basically I point the spot meter area to the blue sky and press the AEL button to lock exposure. Then I recompose and shoot but I heard that A230 don't have an AEL button so I don't know if you can do it any other way. Maybe in the menus or something. Anyone can help?

Worst come to worst, take a meter reading of the sky. Switch to manual mode and then replicate the settings and shoot with flash on.

mastering89 : Most probably still there lar... come and give us a call.

BTW, there's an entrance fee to the show. RM 23 if I am not mistaken.

zicron : Huh? Not RM 23 meh? I thought I saw that number there on the website. Something like weekdays RM 18, weekends RM23. Not meh?

8tvt : Yes, can buy from counter. Last time I also buy from counter. I don't think will sell out gua.... Come early lah... and buy ticket early lor...

Go to PWTC. Go find the ticket counters. Wait there if you're early. We will be there around 11am.

zstan : That's part of the fun! We don't know until we get there! Hahahaha! Besides, it really does not matter any which way.

zstan : Oklar... We do it the normal way lar...

1. Meet up and buy ticket - 11am to 11.30am
2. Shoot - 11.30am to as long as it takes to get through the exhibition.
3. Lunch & TT & Poisoning session - afternoon till the last person leaves

Ok or not? Hehehe...

Aiyar... you guys arr... the thing starts at 11am so you guys get a late breakfast and fill up lar. Then around 2 to 3pm eat late lunch lar... can starve meh?

Serious shooter would have gotten media pass ady. We are just going there for a little gathering and like uncle Ian says - talk cock, sing song and shoot for fun mah. Serious shooter might as well go on weekdays when the crowd is not so big and ticket price also lower.

Seriously if you are really serious about shooting the event you would not be complaining about the ticket price. You would have prepared to pay 2, 3 or more times to go shoot everything from A to Z.

That's why I say better for us to meet and decide there lor...

The Sigma may be on par in terms of center sharpness. Corner sharpness wise, the Zeiss wins.

IQ is not only measured by sharpness. Other factors such as contrast, colours and detail resolution also should be considered.

If you can afford it, get the Zeiss. It's not labelled a Zeiss for nothing.

iamKiet : Don't bother with those 'fanboys' lar... Talk about ISO noise lar and what lar but never see many pics from them also.

They talk photo-gear-phy. I would like to talk more on photography.

newbiee : Rules are laid down but then look who's breaking the rules...

Anyhow, no one can dispute the fact that the Sony A850 remains the highest resolution Full Frame camera selling at the lowest price among all the brands. <--- this insert is put here so that this post remains relevant to the topic of this thread.... LOL!!!

Wokeh! I upgraded My A850 from firmware V1 to V2.

I shot a couple of ISO3200 shots to see if there are any difference. Turns out the results are inconclusive. I did see a little improvement but I can't say that it means anything.

Here are the shots:

V1

V2

You be the judge.

Wokeh! KLIMS Teaser first...

Nighty night ya all!!!

It was kinda disappointing because :

- there's not a lot of concept cars on display.
- there's not a lot of exotic cars on display.
- the batmobile that is tauted as a highlight was actually a badly done up cardboard model that looks like a bunch of school kid's extra curricular art project!!!!

Oklah.. wanna go to sleep ady!
