eventhough some of those ppl are not clear on what they are using, but they might able to generate picture that far better than those who always talk gear and technical thing

ya...soli my engrish veli poor...MUET got band 2 result.

oh mai... *find back my jaw.

lol.. who cares about how much gears you own and how good your "talking skills" are. If you missed the kiss scene in wedding just because you are indecisive whether to go bokeh, high ISO or low ISO, what SS, what aperture, what lens to use, sRGB or Adobe RGB... what's the point?

As long as the settings just work and you got the moment captured, that is what matters more.

While that maybe true, you gotta think of all occasions though. Sometimes a certain occasions calls for a good technical execution to nail the shot

if you just shoot-shoot beautiful but no sense in the shot also not good

There is always a photo that can mesmerize people for a couple of second but it takes a true good execution or good timing to make people mesmerize everytime they see the photo

how low? even if at f9 oso can create bokeh if the subject is near and the background is far. and talking about situations, i only use low apertures when im doing landscape shots. if a group of people, i put on f5.6 like dat

nowadays lots of kids are fortunate already..even some of us here are very rich. not yet working but still can manage to buy expensive equipments. maybe some got their own business,(like some of my frens in msia joins MLM, and they are rich but i super hate MLM..sorry yah)or some have their parents' credit cards to swipe for their equipments, or some even work part time jobs to buy what they desire. for those who are working, different story lar but look at those who are less fortunate..i have frens who rides a kapcai everyday and lives in a setinggan area. if he wants something new, he needs to save up for it. and he appreciates it so much. sometimes people like these will keep us down to earth and still makes us remember how easy our lives are

you got your point there comradez. While it's a no brainer that anyone can take a camera and point it, get the right setting and press the shutter, the rest of the activity requires a person to carefully observe and plan meticulously in order to make the audience go WOW! 80% of the time is not about the camera but how you wanted to execute the shot. As many experienced photographers always say, it is the pre visualization in your brain even before you see in the viewfinder or liveview lcd

somehow ur story very weird one if the girls are using 400D/lower classes than that then diff story lar maybe its their bf/father's camera? cuz last time when my cousin's wedding, im appointed as a photographer, but as a dulang boy as well. so when the exchanging dulang moment arrives, i let my gf hold the camera and shoot me and the rest of the boys as we come down the stairs and put the dulang it was my 5D2+2470+580ex that time

haha there is also a rich parent but poor children my mom will always say "Your dad is rich but you're not so try to work yourself up for what you like "

Recently, I went to Perak near to the boarders of Thailand and I live in a shack-a-like place and let me tell you, It is carefree place to be. No electricity and outside bathroom. My head was in peace, no stress call or whatever. Just enjoy nature like it is meant for.

Yep like what Michael Soo said "Pre-visualization is what people should aim for, if they want a success photoshoot"

u saying ur parents are rich? good for u kid

I bought 24mm instead of 35mm. So

It might be excuse for me too as the photo was misfocus by my 70200

True enough.



Well said.

What for good? Not like they ever really supported me before for my things but I do respect them for the support in education till form 5.. after that on my own


Waiting for d800 and 5d mark iii to go out before deciding to change in the meantime, lenses are best for grab

good la u claiming here that ur parents are rich

wow...

I never face price up when there is shortage of gears.
