How to differentiate AP and NIKON MALAYSIA warranty set.

All Nikon Malaysia set comes with warranty card like this


The wording NIKON MALAYSIA SDN. BHD on the warranty card is the best way to identify whether it's a genuine local set.

Ken Rockwell facts !

Ken Rockwell is the Chuck Norris of photography

Ken Rockwell's camera has similar settings to ours, except his are: P[erfect] Av[Awesome Priority Tv[Totally Awesome Priority] M[ajestic]

Ken Rockwell doesn't color correct. He adjusts your world to match his.

Sure, Ken Rockwell deletes a bad photo or two. Other people call these Pulitzers.

Ken Rockwell doesn't adjust his DOF, he changes space-time.

Circle of confusion? You might be confused. Ken Rockwell never is.

Ken Rockwell doesn't wait for the light when he shoots a landscape - the light waits for him.

Ken Rockwell never flips his camera in portrait position, he flips the earth

Ken Rockwell ordered an L-lens from Nikon, and got one.

Ken Rockwell is the only person to have photographed Jesus; unfortunately he ran out of film and had to use a piece of cloth instead.

When Ken Rockwell brackets a shot, the three versions of the photo win first place in three different categories

Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker

Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one,thats how Pentax was born

Rockwellian policy isn't doublethink - Ken doesn't even need to think once

Ken Rockwell doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.

Only Ken Rockwell can take pictures of Ken Rockwell; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius

Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks.

Ken Rockwell is the only one who can take self-portraits of you

Ken Rockwell's nudes were fully clothed at the time of exposure

Ken Rockwell once designed a zoom lens. You know it as the Hubble SpaceTelescope.

When Ken unpacks his CF card, it already has masterpieces on it.

Rockwell portraits are so lifelike, they have to pay taxes

On Ken Rockwell's desktop, the Trash Icon is really a link to National Geographic Magazine

Ken Rockwell spells point-and-shoot "h-a-s-s-e-l-b-l-a-d"

When Ken Rockwell went digital, National Geographic nearly went out of business because he was no longer phyically discarding photos

For every 10 shots that Ken Rockwell takes, 11 are keepers.

Ken Rockwell's digital files consist of 0's, 1's AND 2's.

Ken Rockwell never focus, everything moves into his DoF

Ken Rockwell's shots are so perfect, Adobe redesigned photoshop for him: all it consists of is a close button.

The term tripod was coined after his silhouette

Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer

A certain braind of hig-end cameras was named after people noticed the quality was a lot "like a" rockwell

Ken Rockwell isn't the Chuck Norris of photography; Chuck Norris is the Ken Rockwell of martial arts.

Ken Rockwell never starts, he continues

Reserved !

Sexy natural vignetting yeahhh~

"Look at my teeth!!"

Hmm, playing around with 14-24 f/2.8

do we need to ask at counter if we want to try the lens? or they just leave it for us to try?

Have to ask, because all of the lenses are placed in the glass cabinet with locker.

if like that, i'll be leaving with the lenses

ezra sang

noob stalker reporting in

80% customer comes in empty handed one lah

Played with the 1424 a? Waa tat lens wan bring jalan2 oso I scare..front element looks so fragile..

Yes, like me, go there just to play play play!
Don't feel shy! They have it there to let you play! They even advertise to ask you and go there to play!

True mah. Whats the point of going there to play if you yourself already have everything they have it there in the glass cabinet already.

Indeed. The front look of 14-24mm also looks scary enough

D3100 new user reporting in...
err...d3100 still didn't have battery grip huh?

200 f/2

Read somewhere showing the email that Phottix grip will be available soon. Nikon doesn't do BG for their entry levels.

Gentle reminder D3100 BG will be using IR to trigger

Not using trigger cable? I think the D5000 used cable right?

U need a BG cuz ur battery drain so fast is it?

IR !

anyone kno the nikon sb80dx flash can use on D7000 ? i heard my friend say old type flash will burn the processor ?

Ipoh, Perak

For the extra grip I guess, D3000/D3100/D5000 grip is small, good to have extra size from the battery grip.

Not everyone buys BG for the extended life. I use grip on my D700 but most of the time only 1 battery at a time. Leceh to detach the grip from body to insert another battery in the body.

spam.


Ubi by daze_lee, on Flickr

got few mixed feeling on that...
1) nice!
2) the purple plant/ branch/ if grow more it will become fantasy-like purple forest
3) some how the angle of the ubi is....

Is CPL effect achievable by PP?
thinking to get CPL for my redang trip. thinking whether it is worth or not.

How to PP to get CPL effect ?
It's actually works to reduce reflections and glare !

Must buy a CPL if u wanna get rid of surface water reflection. Eg shooting koi fish in pond...

I want to get the blue sky effect. wondering whether it is achievable by pp

How about blue sky?

PP can. The output = fake sky

u can always increase the saturation of the sky to superblue because that is just playing around with the colours.

But for other effects of the CPL like getting rid of reflections, those can't be done in PP because the CPL is actually changing the properties of the light rays before it reaches your sensor.

Owhh.. Okay Thanks for the input. I guess I should buy CPL instead of pushing it to PP

Get a good CPL filter and a thin one if possible. Because usually when you start stacking up filters, if you use the thick ones you might get a bit of vignetting.

B+W super thin cost around 500 !

vignetting got more art feel

I need help here. Anyone know if camera rental service is available in Malaysia?
My friend work in SG design firm need to rent D3X. He contacted rental shop in SG, not available for the date he want. 21th to 28th Feb this month.

So very urgent, please recommend if there is any.
Thanks!!

Nikon one around 200+ i think...well, below 300.

Yeah, UV only. XS-Pro @ 3mm not consider slim meh?

Please enlighten me as I'm new

I am inquiring about CPL bro not UV

D3100 oso dun have IR receiver la, how to use IR?
most likely using external cable trigger like D5000 la, since D3100 has d remote port

That's UV la
People talking about CPL

77mm !

remote control got ma. Using that remote IR la

err, IR not wireless meh?
that remote port is for cable remote, no?

B+W CPL MRC F-Pro 77mm SGD170

This post has been edited by jady: Feb 16 2011, 01:45 PM

IIRC la. I saw certain brand BG using wireless remote as the trigger from BG.

walawe.. very expensive lar.. let me check on LYP. hopefully I can pretty decent price for CPL filter

Cheap thing no good, good thing not cheap

budgeted photog here. can't help ma. hahaha..
gotta find the best bargain.

Sorry sorry... didn't notice the discussion earlier and straight away jump into conclusion

can see from avatar.
jump here jump there

Hii...
I want to buy Battery Grip Mb-D80 for my D90...
but if i using with Ni-Mh Battery (eneloop)..
What about the performance about this grip with ni-mh battery??
anyone hv any experienced??

I'd say, get the original battery better !

Original expensive maa...
like me..
student..
out of budget...
hehehe....

Blur blur a bit

Isn't you just made the decision yourself?

This post has been edited by vearn27: Feb 16 2011, 02:10 PM

nope...
im just want opinion....
if not ok...
i will funding for the battery...

Eneloop battery and the original battery diff by RM 100 only. Student can't fork out extra RM 100 ? Don't kid me

i working also cannnot fork out extra 100

Then don't play dslr. It's an expensive toys

D5k BG got 2 types, one is cable type like General_Nic using, the other one is IR.

Try playing with exposure. Like -0.3 or so

I would suggest you to go for EN-EL3e battery as well. Long term investment. Eneloop batteries are "specially made" for flash

Extra info, by using 2 EN-EL3e batteries and BG, it will use the right battery 1st until 0% then only will use the 2nd battery on the left side.

Starting to fund for D400 !

I suggest you save your money first then get the original one , later 3rd party battery goes wrong , then dont blame the battery suck that time.

No choice just only go for 3rd party. (No choice mean no original product like BG for nikon d3100 then you have to buy 3rd party , example.)


Hopefully no IR for D3100

hehehe...
will work out but take times...

hehehe...


thx...

BG in D3100 totally troublesome. I think I will be in D7000 or something by then.

but once make until skillful it can make money wor

before so you need to have the skill. and skill come from experience, you need in invest on it before you can experience it.
Correct me if I am wrong.

D400??
new model??
or rumours?

@aldosoesilo - Come to think of it, try using D-Lightning function for your upcoming Redang trip as well

Then buy Hoya lor.. cheaper hehe

also photography related to drawing which help construct bg drawing skill bla bla which angle to draw also related to film stuff bla bla blablablalblablalba
(but until now i still draw stick figures. dun dare show here )

new upcoming model

to be honest I am not really sure about the function of D-lightning. but I always have it on.
Thanks for the advice anyway. I want to capture landscape this time.

Yeah.. thinking to get either hoya or kenko. but again depends on the price.
suppose to be ok even w/o CPL right?

This post has been edited by aldosoesilo: Feb 16 2011, 03:01 PM

waa...
which model will be replaced??

And most specifically with full frame as lowest requirement.

D300s
See whether it is a significantly comparable to d7k or not.
else I'd just grab D7k or stick with mine. hahaha

lol, you and I got typo, it's D-lighting, not D-lightning XD
Erm erm, not the "Active D-Lighting", there's another "D-Lighting" function

owh...
hehe...
just wait n see...
