if u use the PT-04S1, the Canon/Nikon counterpart is the PT04NE, which uses the same frequency..
so u can play strobist with canon/nikon/panasonic (all those who uses universal hotshoe) friends..

waaa so sweet la, really like the candid pose , hope to see more shot like thse

Oooh. So its the same frequency as others. Therefore, i can trigger all the canon flashes around me.. correct?

Thank You. cjlai sifu.

Nice.

gjtan: I see that the snowman shot is wide, but it has too much stuff in the background. You could do better with a tele and standing further away.

blowsh: Would prefer #3 but exposed with +0.7 from the current exposure.

d4rkholeang3l: Yes that is correct - TTL compensates for the diffuser and any light-reducing filters. Though kysham is also right that we often need a positive EV due to the tendency to underexpose when there are bright highlights.

Tilt in #1 tak jadi lah but I like how you've done #2.

amadeo: Please add this to the list:

Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 SSM ZA = RM38xx
Sony 35mm F1.8 DT SAM = RM7xx
Sony 85mm F2.8 SAM = RM8xx

Mikeshashimi: Whoa that is rare! Never heard of a Tamron ultra-wide gear-stripping.

yuhi: Certain lenses are prone to gear-stripping, but they are the minority (with the exception of the Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 DT.)

porkchop: Mikeshashimi is using a Tamron 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DiII. The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is a faster lens but the 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC arguable. I don't remember which one gets darker faster.

zstan: Thanks! And yes beware the blacks and whites as Alphas prefer to meter them neutrally grey.

kopitiam: You can't choose Auto ISO in Manual Exposure.

The picture would be more interesting by cropping the top 1/3rd and bottom 1/3rd out.x

e-jump: Distracting background is distracting! Much prefer your second shot. And I like #3 (or is it #5?) for the angle. And oooh #6!

SiLVeRClIdGe: Congratulations!

mastering89: Delete to magnify button makes the STF easy! Though it has to do with how you are holding the camera, to avoid introducing shake when turning the ring.

evilhomura89: Go there again with a telephoto lens and get just the lion and the sunset.

ahpingko: Refreshing! I prefer #2.

wha7ever: I like the coal-like cool colors of the rocks. Something different. Though the cropping does feel tight.

fansoption: I like the idea in KLIMS #7. The difference is that the 85mm F2.8 SAM is smaller and it has a SAM AF/MF switch but that's it.

Langham Place #1 is nice too. The others bokeh not so nice.

farhan29: Would crop more off the top of #2. #3 the door is distracting.

nevermine: You're trying to cram too much in a picture. Find a less complex scene, or zoom in on the details.

SoulPower: Lovely! You can DIY your own softbox from soft foam paper, the type that wraps stuff.

8tvt: The F20AM can only be used as a wireless trigger on the A850/A900.

laszlo: I like the color in #1 but in #2 it's a bit too green/cyan.

wingster: I only like #7 - probably would help to darken the ambient more in the other shots.

psychohew: Love #1! Now if only #2 was looking at you. #3 is well done for the effort.

linkinstreet: I was gonna say I liked #1 but after scrolling down I'd say you could crop the plate so the shot is square. #4 is gold!

67zai: You also need a flash.

shukrie: Familiar!

Thank albnok. I think i wont get 85mm F2.8 i plan on 70-200 since i dun have this kind of range lens hehe! but is sigma

zstan,
why ur pic so soft and not sharp?

using slow shutter and high iso and shooting using tamron f2.8 lens ma if use zeiss sure sharp. the spoon looks okok sharp to me though.

Okay, wait till i have a telephoto lens
anyway, it was sunrise, a cloudy one in fact, hahah

here's another one

so fast tong yuen fest...i also forgot

anyway albnok,

porkchop: Mikeshashimi is using a Tamron 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DiII. The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is a faster lens but the 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC arguable. I don't remember which one gets darker faster.

what do u mean it get darker faster?? hmm need to learn more terms

Will keep it in mind, thanks Sifu albnok

no need CZ la.. use kitlens also can..

if i use kit lens, and shooting at f5.6, i can't get this shot lo unless i bump iso to 800 or 1600. might need bounce flash as well.

dont limit your creativity because of your mindset...
