QUOTE(gnome @ Dec 11 2010, 10:14 PM) Nice, very sharp Did you use any diffuser with your flash? or just simply direct fire one  Thanks. Actually I got many failed shots, either skin tone is out (make up too reddish or harsh flash) but got some useable ones.. I used a demb-alike diffuser, works like a demb diffuser but a cheap and capalang 1... Very difficult because the panel is loose, might get an original DEMB soon.

QUOTE(fcuk90 @ Dec 12 2010, 03:27 PM) ^how much u get the demb look alike diffuser . the flash output not so harsh. I got it for RM40 in DCIM last time but seriously this is not good enough, the panel keeps facing down, it's not tight already. I can still get harsh output if the reflecting panel is not correctly positioned... The photos I uploaded are just some of the correctly exposed. Others either harsh or skin tone is out =S

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Dec 12 2010, 03:44 PM) Flash overpowered. Surrounding became darker already.  I already found the solution to that problem.  No, the surrounding when I took the second photo really as dark as what you see... The model was not in the car display region, she was giving handouts in the middle of the walk way~ no spotlight~ But General_Nic's photo has brighter background because he used f2 + flash T___T Teach me the solution la

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Dec 12 2010, 04:04 PM) Perhaps you should include some lighted OOF background in the picture, can add contrast to your photo. Honestly your photo looks too "bulleye" already. Whole photo overly filled with your subject. Too tight cropping sometimes will make your photo looks flat/no depth.   true... I also found out too tight, unless I have lighted bokeh like celciuz's one. I can't "include" lighted oof background in the 2nd photo simply because I can't take it lighted that time. Unlike my another photo, better? posted few pages before » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « BTW you haven't taught me how to fix the demb panel dropping down

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Dec 12 2010, 04:22 PM) Nope, this is worse. Her elbow and sleeve is cropped away. Like I said, don't crop it too tight. Always include some space around your focused subject. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « For the dropping demb, slit 1 or 2 pieces of tiny cut manila paper or card paper in between the hinge, it will become tighter already lo.  Hmm yea cropped elbow... but personally I prefer half body shots rather than almost full body shot like yours. Not that it's not nice but personal preference. Maybe I should leave space for the elbow but still I prefer half body. Hmm need more practice haha. You know, I only get to shoot portrait during such events =S Need to improve in composition Thanks for the tips, I already have an idea but since you said you have it working so I ask you first. ^^

QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Dec 12 2010, 04:38 PM) Already thought you would prefer half body shot, as observed from your photos in flickr and previous posted shots, so I included another picture in my previous reply.  I saw that already, just now visited your flickr. Nice shot! When shooting I didn't leave space, ended up like this. Next time will try to improve my compo ^^ thanks

You forgot to mention the top LCD. it's convenient and more battery saving when changing the settings, since you no need to use the 3inch LCD to adjust.
And yea the D300/D90 like buttons are easier to access. ISO, WB, quality etc has its own buttons.

I know D3100 will record the focusing sound into the video, is it the same with D7000?

QUOTE(mmohdnor @ Dec 16 2010, 03:39 PM) for the time being i just use the auto white balance and shoot them in jpeg instead of raw. not so familiar with NEF/raw. hehe. I remember I told u in PM... A nissin Di622 can already do that. Flash bounced towards the ceiling and provided the ceiling/wall are all white... If it's yellowish then of course the return light is also yellowish. Sometimes it's not always 90 degree towards the ceiling, you need to experience yourself depends on how you hold your camera, your room condition etc. Since you said your friend lent u a Di622, why not try shooting some first?

Yea, I agree with celciuz. Higher capacity means higher mAh am I right? So my ansmann 2850mAh is quite high compared to other batteries out there... But the recycle rate is slower than 2100mAh eneloop.

Kent... Capacity (mAh) means how long it can last, how much charge it can contain... Not related to recycle rate at all.
