hi all, just got myself sony dslt a33 learning how to use a camera. guys, other than setting the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture? what other elements that i must be aware of in order to snap a decent picture? and btw, my hand trembles alot due to smoking, anyone knows good medicine to cure it?

to all sifus, i have a very tight budget, however i need to try out macro shooting as im doing a business soon which requires me to take really close up and sharp shooting.. but i cant take out that rm1k+ to get a good macro lens.. so i browsed around lowyat forum.. found this 0.45 wide angle conversion lens with macro.. so just wondering as a beginner.. is this good enough to use? by the way the photos that i need to take.. mostly diamond rings or necklaces

raynox is rm250 right.. aw..

so if my budget is below rm200.. wide conversion lens good? XD LOL

uh nvm i ll get the raynox ~~ tonight test test XD rm250. damn it

erm im using kit lens.. 1855 that one.. i duno wo.. i tried taking pictures of diamond rings.. quite.. bad lol.. meaning i dont need macro? i just need normal +10 close up filter will be good enough? btw mind teaching how to.. make that diamond ring nais nais in the photo? such as wat colour or what to put as the background and stuff XD

LOL blur what u did last week.. gg.com.. u might accidentally did something.. bad.. opps
uh.. if macro is not needed.. then i rather just take close up filter. cause i dont like taking macro shot. . i like landscape shot only XD but just started photography.. dont even know how to take a steady picture wakakakaka. post the picture u took for diamond ring.. i need to take the pic of the design of diamond ring.. the diamond itself.. something like u guys always see in the brochure frm diamond n platinum, lazo diamond and etc XD btw i m selling those lol

lol ok. raynox is not necessary i guess =.= too close lol. i ll try with +10 close up filters to test out the effects. googled the tutorial on jewellery photography.. got abit idea XD

Wax? Uh.. ok raynox nxt target

guys, the new sony lens 35f1.8 how much isit ? i mean de bb plaza or lowyat price, not from sony XD trying to get oneee if is cheap. and do u think 50f1.8 better or 35f1.8? =.=

50mm cheaper neh. so if i use 50mm to shoot pendant or ring, is good enuf and sharp enuf right? xD
