ahpingko, though your method is very out of the box, but the color of the files u used are not correctly matched to tungsten light (for the yellow)

it should look more orange than yellow

I see..just nw looking through those colored files..dont know which to choose..next time get a better one..can combine 1 red with 1 yellow..xD

ahpingko, when one uses gel, they dont use AWB anymore... you will need to set the WB manually... 1stly, with your tests that you've done, you're doing it wrong. coz you will need a subject which is lighted by your 'gel'ed flash, then the background which is lighted with tungsten/fluorescent (and not a wall)

i see...i will try more....thx thx... blush.gif

Haha..sure..i know my limits..btw, i hate ppl who show off and giving me instructions where his photos cannot impress me or telling me something that i already know or is incorrect and as if it is an advice from pro..holding cheapo nikon without a flashgun somemore.. doh.gif

If you're the paid official photog, u have the rights to ask others to move aside while you line up your shot.

But if you're just a relative relation asked to shoot, looks like you have to live with that. Just try your best and smile.

I m not paid one..coz is my gf's bro wedding..but i am helping as an official photog as appointed by her dad, or future "dad-in-law".. tongue.gif

He using FF ma, that's why wider lol. Or maybe coz he's too pro already, can widen the lens without the need to go FF lol.

Regardless, just have fun shooting. I know I liked it when I shoot weddings and events biggrin.gif

wat FF, just a very cheapo entry nikon...somemore big mouth..i really don like that...

seriously, I've just helped shot my cousin's wedding last week, it's really tiring...not to mention being a 1st timer I pretty much has no idea what to expect, like d flow of d ceremony, people involved, this n that...ended up just being asked to take photo when they r doing something major. =.=" n with space constrain n poor timings most of d pics doesnt satisfy me, realised this during pp...sigh.. cry.gif experience matters too I guess...really wanna learn more bout wedding photography.
*
damn tiring man..this my 2nd time only...most pic is like simply shoot that kind...coz ppl just ask me shoot here shoot there...family group photos...etc...lol...nevertheless, i am trying to get something special whenever i can...mostly outcome will be around 5-6 nice only...if go outdoor portrait, then will be much better...later shoot dinner....i no need to eat already.. cry.gif

you should've clone stamped out the indentation on the bridge of her nose made by the glasses. it looks weird...

2nd pic needs more fill light on her face and neck
unless you have like only 2-3 lenses, then by all means, bring them all... else, you'll just regret it.

just take all those that are able to cover all range.

tell you what, if i were you, i'd only bring camera (ditch the grip, keep the extra battery in the bag and swap batteries manually), flash (optional, yes its optional coz you have a built in to use when in emergency situations), your, 18-55, 75-300 and 30mm macro. ditch the 50mm..

don't forget a tripod, lightweight... dont lug around a 20 kilo manfrotto and go walking all day
*
i only have 2-3 lens...yes..haha...normally i bring my 18-55,75-300, 30mm, 50mm...my sling bag is super heavy...damn pain my on my shoulder..so i wanted to get a backpack which have better weight distribution(coz on both side of shoulder ma)..and i only got 1 tripod..not so heavy la...around 1kg++ only..

QUOTE(Newbieeeeee @ Jun 10 2011, 10:18 PM)
Warranty is for the zips. Others im not sure. Lowepro is dammmmm expensive kay. For me, i'd rather get a good and cheap one, and change regularly rather than to get a superb one and use for my whole life.
*
only for zips? hmm.gif hmm.gif i better reconsider...lol..

QUOTE(lwliam @ Jun 10 2011, 10:18 PM)
if that can really happen, i would get the bag in a blink of an eye...

any suggestion from u?...which bagpack is suitable..best if got laptop slots...budget max 400 only....any good shop?
