ever thought of using shades?

Using shades? means?

for me, sometimes shades can provide some good shadows and highlights, and stop down available light a bit. It tends to saturate the color a bit, which is my favourite spot to shoot sometimes. Otherwise, if available light overpowers the subject too much, it tends to make the whole pic look flat, and doesn't look appealing to me. Kind of a fan of highlights and tones recently.

Guys, previously it was floating around that early batches of D7000 has focusing problem. What should I do or check when picking up my unit? Is there anything like manufacturer's date or latest firmware to refer?

Please guide me and thanks

My unit was the faulty one, coz it's the very very first batch, first few hundred units iirc. Juz bring a focus chart or news paper to test the focus b4 u grab it lor.... now newer batch shudnt have this prob ady =D

Then what happened to your unit? They fix it or replace you with a new unit?

BTW, what you mean is just try focus around on newspaper and too see if it's tact sharp? Or how's the way to test?

should i get a new lens. or a used lens?

I got them replace new unit for me. This doesnt happen always though.

Zoom max, aperture open wide(105mm f/5.6),Focus from 45 deg angle on a word, and see is the word sharp or other word sharp=)

Hmm, anyone know if iPad able to handle d90 raws ? Cause someone said it cant.

85mm...
its so poisoning...

U've been sharing her photos quite a bit more than other gals...
Not that its a bad thing thou.

Celciuz, says like, the background is very bright, and your subject place there isnt that bright, and you metered your subject with correct exposure,
how about the bright background ? wouldn't it be brighter ?
then how you overcome to that situation ?
I no skill man

I think he's good at choosing spot, or mayb using reflector   That's y his subject is alwiz balanced lit comparing with the background

cant help but to comment

apart from location, there's always a choice to use a flash as fill to brighten up the subject and bring it to be the same as the background.

Heheh reflector.
you see his picture the model skin looks smooth smooth and white white wan.
you just reminded me of reflector.
never use it thou... me not that Pro 
But has to know how to set properly if not the flash effect
too strong make the background imbalance 

What do you mean by this doesn't happen always though? You mean Nikon not always replacing with a new unit and fix them instead?

OK, I'll try that. Which mean by the angle of 45 degree, I should only see the middle word sharp? No?

Any specific distant to be?

Nope, shooting at f/1.4 or f/2 or f/8 doesn't exactly affect your exposure. Just need to set up well it will be ok. f/1.4 tend to have more vignetting compared to f/2 or f/4.
KTCY, like I said it is the aperture diameter. I'm not talking about filter thread.

50 f/1.2 is just 41.67 aperture opening. You can have bigger barrel than the aperture opening, but not smaller ;-)
Correct, aperture diameter . I didn't mention about the filter thread or barrel size.

Take the Sigma for example, 50mm f/1.4 using 72mm and the 50mm f/1.4D using 52mm (I think). But the aperture opening is still the same, only differences is the barrel size.

Take 85 f/1.2L (72mm) versus 85mm f/1.4G (77mm), why smaller aperture can have bigger filter size? It doesn't matter, cause 85/1.2 = 70.83mm. You still have space.
About time you learn?
Correct, that is why I said it is something simple
Welcome.
