No more D1 , only FD at the moment, and those local events like FX, Ace etc. See ya around if you're going!

I'm probably getting one of those Manfrotto monopod to pair with my 498RC2.

Side note, finally got to shoot a little since last PC Fair

Shoot started late due to MUA slow

Had to use flash since sun already set and sucks if I use ISO to compensate >_<

Yeap, off flash. No choice cause it was after sunset. If pump ISO the feel is kinda crappy No mood to the photo.


Example if no flash... taken by another photographer present there.

This is what differentiates Joe and other common photographers! Thanks for sharing, nice one.

One pic before going to bed , trying out something different from my usual style

True, I read before some D90 getting damaged due to using third party grip before.

Don't remember the link, but back then was deciding between Nikon or third party I did came across it.

Sure, some people is ok. But when you have problem due to third party grip then you gonna start complaining?

If one can accept the fact that using third party is risky, then go ahead. Although chances is low, but its still there ;-)

Yeah, agreed. Pay so much for the body, but to save a bit with third party grip =/

Nope, single shot only for this. Was using TTL through the commander. Actually a bit earlier I still call pump ISO for it, but the color contrast sucks.. cause everything is bright lol. Was not prepared for this anyways, so just used my SB900 with a VAL (voice activated lightstand ) to shoot lor... could have been much better if I was prepared with 2 light stands and 2 flash instead.

Time taken as per EXIF is May 29, 2011 at 7.27pm MYT

Grid you mean? I use grid all the time. Or is it the meter for horizon one?

RM400... food provided too... seems good? Normally is RM200 if access pit.. that is only the 1 hr -.-...

Understand the first point, but for second point I don't quite get it. Do you mean from a lower angle?

Thanks for the feedback .

My friend just picked one unit last weekend, RM3800 if not mistaken. D7000 + kit. Nikon Malaysia set!

Meh, thread getting quiet.. another pic

gonna shoot from grandstand then.

Just shoot more

That means it is FOC, cause RM50 is just to rent the orange vest (for photog) as a deposit.

f/1.4

Bokeh quite busy o_O... stepped down lens most likely..

Yeah, and also able to change to vertical anytime .

From my limited experience with ballhead, I have one cheapo Victory ballhead that came with the tripod versus a Manfrotto 498RC2. Basically, the cheapo ballhead can hold my tripod... but the big differences is its easier to get the composition I want with the manfrotto... easier to compose as after you tighten it doesn't move like the cheapo ballhead.

Search for GGS.

Stick to Nikon please...

Was talking about tripod , somehow I like using ballhead on monopod .

The other way was using friend's with a ball head.

Google around, you'll find them

Well, if you don't have any issue count yourself lucky. I won't take the risk for sure. Only stuffs I will use third party is probably those that doesn't affect my gears. Example, filter? I don't use Nikon's haha!

As per my expectation . LOL, the lens is pretty impressive too if compared to the 50mm f/1.8D.

It isn't plastic... grips like MB-D80 then is plastic.. can feel the differences immediately when you hold it .
