last Saturday's photoshoot 

pic spam! i think the picture fail

nah... the pic will overexposed if i use longer shutter speed. btw i press the lens release button
bila mok mkn laksa sarawak sama tok? hehe

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.

guys, how do u know is a wide angle lens by looking at those model number such as "tamron 1750 f2.8 etc etc" LOL

what gears?

Optech strap? Try Gstrapinuse.

Guys， just to let you all in penang please be careful when you buy the following items in any 2nd hand market as my car was broken into.

Sony Alpha A300
Carl Zeiss 16-80 F3.5-F4.5 with B+W filter
Sony 50mm F1.4
Sony F58 Flash

will update soon when I get back to my house. Sigh.. 3 years of effort down the drain.

Whether its time consuming or not, Its always better than coming back and regret, should do this should do that. 

Anyways, Use the Center AF point, Lock the focus on the eyes, reframe it and snap. I guess you were using the Auto AF point thingy?

Oh yaa. Those higher ends one use local AF.. Mine cheap one ma.. Have to go to Fn > AF poinnts > Press v 2 times > Select AF point > Press shutter. By that time subject also gone already.

Added on December 26, 2010, 12:14 pmOh ya.. Izzit worth it to get a wireless flash trigger or just use the pop up flash trigger?

Hahaha recomposing also takes time LAH!
If u can train ur hand/eye for re-composing than setting the AF point won't be much of a problem!

Use Local AF lah ALL THE TIME
Just by pressing the center button than it's the center AF! KAN?

Train ur right thumb to stick to the AF dial.. 

Omai.. I didn't know pressing the AF button changes the focus point back to the mid.. So which local AF to use? Right side? Or ...? Brb re-reading the manual

guys.. Wondering whats yr shutter count and how old is yr body?

yalo..he say very hard to find stock anymore...not even in shashinki..

 

i saw that matin in shashinki too...if i use with a550+75-300+F42...can support??...i scare putus...

dont get quick draw.. sucks. seriously.. anyone tried optech before.? its really expensive..

i dont want brown... ...anyone in KLCC??...can go see whether they have stock?? and what price..
will kaput 1?..how long u use?...
i go touch the optech, feel like not so good..i don like that feel..

guys,
for panning which AF setting is suitable?

AF-C
Its not really the weight problem.. its the way it hangs. and the plate below cam at the tripod thingy thr.

oho.. later got time will try back la.. the 55-200mm is slow to do panning.. 
what shutter eh? coz most of the time.. soft and blurred.. pengsan to catch.. 

I used it before la.. Nevermind.. Since thats just my opinion, You can get it if you want to. Nobody stopping you

1/30.

Naah. 120 is bullshit price. theres a online crumpler store selling 75 but they only have brown. I'm using neoprene now.. Its good. Cheap. You can get matin strap for rm35 from shashinki. Trust me, its very good. I've tried the quick strap b4, but yr camera hangs next to you.. Prefer next strap more. But they're both nice. Just that the quick strap, if you drop something, you can't bend down to take it unless you support camera.. Or yr cam will hit the floor... Wait... What am i talking abt...

Lols    This one..  Wanna take a photo need so long..  Answays I prefer neck strap.. My next one would be this.
Marumi strap
Looks gooding.

Yeea.... Why not you try and let us know how it is?   

haha...no point if wasn't the whole system or something has lack....because what i want to play with requires the whole system....maybe i'll use kit lens with a better flash....then grab better lens next time

OR

i invest more and get kit lens,flash and everything else....maybe i need to buy toto
haha..just my personal view perceptions
