thanks. i also went the wrong way. i thought one-u got but apparently no.=/ picked the wrong spot for the first few shots also.
anyway, sometimes if the background is too plain, it makes the fireworks look boring as well.

At about 5pm Malaysian time, our tour guide picked us up in a van and we then visited the Klonghae Floating Market.

I was expecting that the 'market' were afloat on water and we had to use a sampan or some boat to visit the market but in actual fact, the 'stalls(boats)' were just parked at the shore.

Before we reached the 'floating' market, we had to pass through another night market as well. Many varieties of food and other stuff can be found here.

Look at the crowd! It's only 5pm local time~


Women cooking. by zstan, on Flickr
A local woman cooking something. Didn't get to try this stall's food though. =/


Pineapple! by zstan, on Flickr
Pineapples!! As a non-pineapple lover, these fruit were hard to resist as they are VERY VERY SWEET compared to the ones sold at Malaysia. A must try at Hat Yai, Thailand.

Fried Insects! No i didn't have the courage to try. ><

After a 5 minute walk, we arrived at our destination.

when i was at the floating market it was pouring heavily...don't dare to bring my camera out
did u go to the ice dome?

how to make the pic exposure even on that sunny day eh?
if metering front subject, sky blow out..
if metering at back, front underexposed...
like normal pic only..

err...HDR???

@8tvt
maybe meter the subject +0.3~0.7EV?

i don't have the HDR.. so mean it's normal eh if the pic like that..

that's also will cause the prob.. becoz maybe our intention want to make the front subject ok..
but later the sky all white..

DRO also not helping much..
still trying which is the right combination to use.. i think i tried all..

8rvr: eV BG and pop up ur flash.

hello guy , NEW YEAR Spam



cnc as usual .

ejump and mastering, both very nice shots!!

anyway first purchase for 2011....home minister gonna kill me

Logitech Bluetooth mouse (cincai snipe cos testing lens)


F58 (I am having a problem with the contact, the body does not detect the flash when first mount...but after I used my fingernail to scratch the contact points, then the flash detect properly....do u think I should send the body in to service center or the scratching of contact is "normal"??)

ieR : if the front subject is far away.. ok also using flash?

porkchop : i think it's normal, coz metal tend to oxidize..

i think it's normal since your hotshoe is exposed to air and moisture causing really mild oxidation which will affect the metal contacts

porkchop : thanks. arr i wouldn't suggest getting the Logitech 470 (bluetooth), used it before and kinda sucks battery much compare to my v450 . also nearly everytime turn on laptop need re-connect (pair bluetooth to the mouse) . Anyway congrats for your HOTD

8tvt : HDR the best , if rajin la take both correctly expose background and foreground and combine in PS.

if let say metering the background and then metering the front need adjust² abit..
later not same view also pengsan..

if really need the tweak here and there.. is ok then.. i thought my body got limited function etc..

Thanks mastering and porkchop.
Its part of my 2011 resolution where i start to learn metering the sky into my photos (reducing overblown sky effect).

to a certain extend for pop up. if the distant over 10 meter, best use mounted flash. but u might wanted to dail the flash eV down so the 'oily' reflection wont be obvious.

ier, when u come to cat city just give me a call

Cepat ko ye

Anyways I noticed my camera has a weird problem today under the hot swealtering sun. I can't seem to focus properly using my 50mm

Single shot AF, F2.2, which during comic fiesta works. As you can see it's not focusing on the eyes, which where I am focusing.


Using my 55-200, albeit at F4. no such focusing problem. And I had the same problem with e-jump's CZ85mm at F2.8 as well!

Funny thing is, when I came home and I try again under normal, room light condition, it's focuses ok again. Any advice in this? since I really think it's the body can't handle anything too bright. I am using local for focus point btw
