ya read that. Since im going to TS area tomorrow, just hoping can get it there, if possible at least 690 lo

Same model as yours

Yes, 50mm is on DX is tight, even 35mm on DX can be tight for group photo and sort; I'll be using the zoom lens most of the time. Usually people have 2 body, one with zoom one with prime. If one body, most of the time, will be using the zoom.

To get the nice portrait picture with amazing subject isolation, effects, perspective, etc. the longer focal range delivers much better result, hence why I prefer longer focal range. In wedding reception, you can use it quite often to snipe the guest, groom, bride from afar and the pictures will be standing out from the rest of the pictures. Of course, you have to find the right time cause during certain times, its when they want group photo, and group photo and group photo.
If you have the chance to visit Nikon BTS, go try out the 80-200 f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8, it's poisonous and gives a different feel to those picture that you already have. In a wedding photo, if there is wide to telephoto range, it's a much nicer sets.

I prefer the background lighted or expose for the background as well; For this try to utilize the flash as "fill-ins or fill flash". So you need proper exposure than your current exposure; This also will make a difference of image quality between DSLR and compact digi cam.
Previous I did reply to your question actually; Don't limit your ISO so low (1600 is very low actually), if you underexpose, the noise will be worst than if you properly expose at higher ISO; For the D7000, you can safely set the MAX ISO to 6400 if you're not comfortable with it, you can set to 3200 or slightly higher); It's pretty acceptable actually if it's properly expose, the details is still there, but if you underxpose the noise will be worst and the details will be lost.
If you want, you can try it out and see the difference.

Plus, if you set the max ISO, despite you set the minimum shutter speed, if the camera hit the max ISO you specified, it will use lower SS than your specified minimum shutter speed, and this will affect your result later, especially if the subject is moving.

Using flash can help to freeze the subject, so you can use lower SS, but not too low as it can leave trails of the subject (you can try it out and then view the picture in 1:2 or 1:1 ratio for more obvious result). But for group shot, it's safer as the subject is "less likely" to move.

You might want to check if using Flash is allowed for Church, just in case.

4.73 meter from EXIF data for this shot...

Nice...

LOL when Kai tries to take pictures of those men from behind.50mm with FX body, already kinda tight. if hes using DX, sure cannot take that picture.

Hiya everyone, any idea about what that little dot is?
doesn't look like dust or fungus to me though..
possible to send back for warranty?as i've just bought it like 1 month ago (didn't check properly )


Attached thumbnail(s)

dust. fungus not like this.
dont get worries for the petty dot

Thanks for clarification

Price wise, I will stick to my 1.8D and need to upgrade my D3000 to a better sensor body D=

Seems like the f/1.8D doing quite well compared to the older f/1.8D. Maybe the extra price increase will justify to upgrade. Most likely also more accurate AF due to SWM versus the screw drive.

Ohoho one of the fellow forumer who sold his D700 to me bundle with 50 1.8D at extra Rm100 only

I damn love it

PIC SPAMZ!


U-KISS "Bran New Kiss" Press Conference in Malaysia by beaniewhut, on Flickr

Attended a press conference in a very small place, a Korean BBQ restaurant at Desa Sri Hartamas yesterday. =D

For those who wanna come to Genting..im put it in spoiler


too many ppl today at the indoor theme park, got some event like street dancer and transformer human side doll..still, it too crowded..

Walao transformer fever everywhere

Finally made up my choice on my monopod... ordered the 680B lol. Hopefully the shorter length when kept will be more worth while compared to 681B or 682B...

same one i got

spread some love with danbo XD

photo above was shoot with phone...

today i was in angry bird playground....yesterday night i remember check my battery and charge it before i sleep....today morning i remember wakeup early, take my gear, and phone, and to destination...

at there.... open my bag.... i remember i forget take my battery from charger. OTZ.

What do you think? Worth buying? as compared to maybe 681B... the onyl reason I took the 680B is it is shorter when it is kept... about 15cm shorter...compared to 681B.. but only capable of holding 10kg instead of 12kg and has 4 section versus 3 section. Not to mention doesn't stand as high, but I'm only about 178cm.. so inclusive of my ball head I think it should be sufficient for my height.

178 is very tall lor....

The users in here should get informed as well:
