Continue with the old photos sharing then....

I shot this during a Canon EOS workshop (!)

Nicole:

Sony A700 + Sigma 24-70 F2.8 DG. 1/320s, F5.0, ISO200, 70mm, AWB.

Want to share one photo with you guys:

This photo was shot at the Mengkabong Bridge, which runs across the Mengkabong river here in Sabah. It was threatening to rain, with light drizzle coming down already. But, it never happened. Instead, the heavens began to clear up and I got this shot of the cloud curtains beginning to unfold itself:


Sony A850 + Minolta 17-35mm F2.8-4. 1/160s, F14.0, 17mm, ISO200, AWB. Photo was shot in cRAW and processed in Capture1 & CS4.

I was so lucky to get this shot. Some of you guys might had already seen this photo either in my facebook or my flickr page. But I thought I wanna share it with the rest of you guys who haven't seen it yet.

I've always loved this shot of yours, William.

thanks, Newbie....


Coming from you, I will consider that as a hostile poisoning attempt....

(tangkis, tangkis, tangkis!!!)

Yeah, kambing lah.... will be in KL from 10-14 March, but registered slots only for 11 & 12 March nia...


Soony! Have not seen you around in a while. What had you been up to? Jumped ship?

More old pics to share:

Kota Kinabalu at night. Long shutter speed:

Sony A100 + SAL1870DT. 25 seconds, F10.0, 55mm, ISO80 , AWB. Camera mounted on a tripod.

why not? as long as you can link it to here, then I believe members will comment & feedback.

bila mari?

keluar lah..... but sayang your sampan had been cropped out & your horizon is not straight....

Looks like a very familiar lens......

You don't like wide landscape?????

This is wide landscape for you:


Sony A850 + Minolta 17-35mm F2.8-4. 1/125s, F14.0, ISO200, 17mm.

Wide angle (in the above case, this is an ultra wide angle - UWA) have a tendency to "stretch" the perspective, giving you that wide, expanding view that is one of the more dominant format for landscape photography. I'm not saying no one does any telephoto landscape (quite on a contrary, it is quite popular too), but the wide angle is more dominant. As a landscape photographer, you should be familiar with both methods of shooting landscapes because both offers a different view. A different perspective.

TT usually at a coffee shop or kedai mamak. usually you will have to pay for your own drinks & meal. but you do have the option of paying for whoever you want....

wow! i absolutely was stunned by that UWA HDR shot! that was awesome!

No. When the test light goes green, it means the flash is completely refreshed and ready for the next burst of flash. The flash works by storing energy from the batteries in a temporary holding capacitor. when you press the shutter release, the flash draws power from this capacitor (not directly from the batteries). after that, it will draw power from to the batteries to recharge this capacitor. you may ask why such a hassle? because the capacitor can hold more power for a big burst of flash and also it will allow the flash to regulate the drawing of power from your batteries, ensuring the batteries don't overheat too fast and also to ensure the batteries don't die too quickly.

a bit out of topic, but.... anyone of you guys using SSD in your computer / laptop? might wanna consider swapping out my 500GB HDD in my laptop for a SSD to decrease the boot-up time & increase the battery life. the only draw-back i am thinking now is the significantly lower storage capacity (160GB) for the SSD.

my question is: Do you guys think it is worth the trade-off?

i got a quote for 160GB SSD (Intel X25-M Gen2, OEM --> is this good?) for RM600. Quite pricey, if you compare to regular HDD. The max capacity I found was 256GB, but that is too expensive for me.

please use google. it is very useful. i was talking about a computer's hard disk.

shoo... shoo.... this is photography related thread, not photoshop related thread...

*run fast fast away from shukrie!*

don't want to comment anymore liao....

oi, what the heck is all this commotion? stop being hostile to one another in the alpha thread lah woi.... we are brothers. this is not the canon / nikon thread. you wanna gaduh, go there.

make an effort to be courteous to one another.
