+1 If you have cash to be use then go for it. I would attend again if I had the chance [mine were unofficial] .

shoot and error is good but with someone to guide you, it will speed up the process if the teacher is good and you a good listener.

Good luck mate, and best of tips I can give is like chobo said earlier.. try to discover your own style of shooting.

because most of those who won competition or didn't won a competition basically because of their originality and lack of creative mind.

why not go for i7 980x

Somehow it resembles the eyes or should you call it "Eye of the sky"

nice capture

Picture's looks neat and nice

Wow the 18-55 non VR is the crappiest piece of shizit... [being sarcastic of course]

one of the picture with 18-55 non VR on a d40 not as good as the tamron but yeah... not that bad i think



Camera Nikon D40
Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400)

pardon for the crazy iso setting... was my first ever dslr using manual

if its tammy that you are referring to... then it got something to do with VC and f2.8

what i can't see your [insert image] here is another 18-55 non vr

So far what I've been seeing in this forum is nothing else than just equipment talk.... very few talking about technique.. its like 80% equipment and less than 20% techniques and skills....


haihz~ why not instead of looking for a expensive lenses and just go with cheap lenses ~.~ not to say that I can't afford but I lost sense of people learning about how to improve themselves rather than gloating about gears ~.~

even Ansel Adams was using a piece of card to vision his pictures back in those ol' days and for me I find it that his pictures were very good very well composed even comparing to modern day technology

same though they are bit by bit talking about techniques thanks to fruitie and goldie

yep for me photography is about seizing the moment. I love watching how people react with their natural expression. Most prefer they pose themselves because if I were to make them pose for me... seems abit awkward unless they are comfortable with it

hehe most of the time, I'll practice at home... with my flashgun as my model. Try to practice compose from there... when my works done then.. maybe I'll travel by bus to kelantan or terengganu try to explore the world of outside the house

I've seen this 1 guy... doing a portrait for people of detroit and I must say... the photos are inspiring..

Just love how he captured those portrait

Somehow im more interested in the couch rather than the model

People keep forgetting that the background also plays an important role... it clears that in KTCY's photo he does care about the background

Okay, fellow nikonian, my friend decided to buy a camera for himself

either d3100 or d90 is in his mind... maybe some of you can enlighten me on performance of iso noise control and AF in which is better?

yea... suddenly called me and say he is at infront of a camera shop >.> so now I'm asking you loyal nikonian for help

Thanks in advance

Thanks.. appreciated the fast response and straight forward

It is actually the same as true story of a photojournalist, a guy taking a picture of a kid being eaten alive by crows... untill that kid is dead... at last he won or not... [not sure] and last resort was suicide because of the disturbed photo

the photo ... correction not crows but a vulture http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5241442 and yeah won a pulitzer award over the photo

I guess you never been shopping with a girl or lady before? if not... you would be testing all the lenses including camera on demo or not but at last just walk away without buying anything
