Pro Images for 1.9k+ lol.

but he at MLC.

may i know is it if A33 use normal memory scandisk SHDC?

If you want, can help you tapao coz getting a few things myself this week lol.

Erm, It can use sandisk SDHC yea.

hmm appreciate your offer but I'm getting body + lens only RM1.9 nett at PJ area. Do not want to waste much petrol travel to mlc.

Yup!

hi all pro, i has a question to ask is, whn i take a pic and wan to blurr the image more heavy, sometime i need to go very near oni can make a good output.
if i am shooting a bigger thing not very big la, like statue...the blurring is very light only and sometime even i try other way, the whole image will be fcus all mean whole pic will very sharp, no blurring effect.
any way to heavy more the blurring ?

like this u will need wide angle prime lens..coz normal way, u cant get a super blurry background...worse, if u use a zoom lens where u can zoom close up, and the object is too big, u will need to be at a far far distance...

anyway, just try like this:

- try go as far as u can, zoom in with lower aperture, such as F5.6..if with zoom, u cant make whole image into the frame, means this method cant use..

- try go as near as u can, using widest focal length u can, such as 18mm..with a lower aperture like F3.5..and try..if cant get desired blurring, means this method also cant use...

if both fail = u need wide prime...

btw, want to ask sifus as well,

i m opening a raw image using sony Image Data Converter SR, and Adobe Lightroom...proven that the image in lightroom is really different with that sony proprietary software..because i remember i took the pic correctly..but in lightroom, it seemed to be under-expose and very low saturation..no wonder i always see so damn nice in my camera but in lightroom so pale..

anyway to make lightroom behave the same?

ok thx, the 1st way work for some situation like small object, if big very difficult...
2nd way cant make it on big subject oso...^^
wide prime lens nt same wif kit lens ??
sry i m newbie...

wide prime is something like 35mm F1.8..

35mm means it is fixed at 35mm..cannot zoom in or zoom out..

wide means u can frame more item into the shot..

F1.8 means the lowest aperture value u can choose in camera is F1.8..F1.8 means the aperture can open very big...

in layman terms, wide aperture = the lens hole open big big..like on F1.8 on 50mm DT lens, the hole is approx the size of 5sen..

when on F1.8, u can get shallow depth of field which is the blurry background u want..but it depends on how u frame the shot..F1.8 does not always confirm will give u blurry background...same as F11 does not always means clear picture..

example, my prime lens..50mm F1.8:

on F2.2 give nice background blurring..this is because on F2.2 the lens hole open big big..


example, my 18-55 kit lens:

on F8, still give me nice background blurring..due to i go closeup...xD..

There's few way to affect the Depth of Field:

*Shallow DoF (More isolation (more blur?) between the object/background/foreground)
*Great DoF (Less isolation (less blur?) between the object/background/foreground)

1) Aperture - Bigger (Shallow DoF) <F1----------------F16> Smaller (Great DoF)

2) Focal Length - Longer Focal Length (Shallow DoF) <200mm----------------10mm> Wider Focal Length (Great DoF)

3) Camera Shooting Distance between the object and background (erm quite hard to explain this X_X):

-Distance between the object/foreground/background is far (Shallow DoF)
(Foreground<--------------------------------> Object <--------------------------------> Background)

-Distance between the object/foreground/background is closer to each other (Great DoF)
(Foreground<------> Object <-------> Background)

4) Sensor Sizes - Larger Sensor (Shallow DoF) <FF----------------APSC> Smaller Sensor (Deep DoF)

Oic, understand liao, thx for the explaination, but the wide lens cnt zoom in n out thn ma oni cn do this function ?
