wow...so many filters. no use for a casual photographer like me. i just get a decent uv filter mainly to protect my lens.

but i do see my friends take excellent photos with a ND filter, especially nature photos. look like those from national geographic (super water effects). but i see many different types of ND filters for different apertures. how do u select the right one and in what situations do u normally use the filter?

sigh...so many things to learn.....

those are all UV filters la.

amboi the combo new year + CnY resolution eh  sweat.gif
congrats  rclxms.gif

last 2 week i go outing shoot macro, and one person using 70200 f2.8 with TCx1.4 . with that he could do macro shots/video (using a33/a55 i cant remember).
So my Q here, does TC reduces MFD also by the x1.4/x2.0 ??  or just becoz he could get 400mm??
*
i think its because he can get 400mm.. i've seen people doing 'macro' with 70400G as well...
hmm.gif

@ier

if my a300 repair fees are cheap then no a55 lor laugh.gif

QUOTE(mastering89 @ Jan 7 2011, 08:00 PM)
zstan : then the SAL500 f8 donut or that Samyang 1600mm at alphanatics  could do nice macro too laugh.gif (dunno its MFD)

Codyx : u tekan itu 'Fn' then choose the 'AF Area' , the Wide is for multi focussing. 2nd is mid point, 3rd is local af point.

shooting flowers yes confirm no problem. but if you wanna shoot moving bugs, or still bugs for that matter...its very hard to hunt for them considering how far you to stand..

dragonflies are possible though.

i always use local AF and then pin-point it to the bug

yes you can use local AF but we are talking at the range of 400mm now ma. the MFD must be like 3 metres or more!

hmmm...do you think it's possible to handheld at 300-500mm?? won't the tiniest hand shake affects the output drastically?
*
depends on how fast is your lens lor. if use those really fast lens(usually much bigger and heavier than tele zooms) then maybe need a monopod. at this range, people usually shoot more than 1/1000 seconds to prevent the hand shake. and of course, it ultimately depends on your skills to get sharp pictures. blush.gif

After the makan makan at the floating market, our tour guide brought us to the infamous Stainless Steel Pagoda where the whole structure is made out of stainless steel!

The pagoda is located quite high up on the hills. Those with car motion sickness should pop a pill before starting the journey as the corners are pretty sharp on the way up.

Since i forgotten to bring my tripod, i only can rest my camera on the ground and try my luck. =/ And due to the vast numbers of florescent lights being installed on the pagoda, it totally screwed up the camera's white balance, rendering all the images looking greenish.

Since i don't shoot RAW, i had quite a hard time fixing the WB. =/
