i actually very like your very low angle shot 
it is like you put your camera on floor and leave it for long exposure
but is it in Sg.wang area? what is the time you shot, it seems no people there...

oh if paint over an area(want achieve solid black background) counted super impose?

I wonder what will happen if i stack a N-GRAD ( like cokin system) with 18-55mm kit lens? would my n-grad rotate when i am focusing?

means i must focus 1st before i fix in the n-grad?

lucky when dropped, my camera attach with speedlite..the the impac no soo hard..
pheww..burn my b+w filter -,-

haha, i dont know..maybe due to unstable d7k + bg + 35mm+speedlite...
the camera fell from coffee table..deym

if u pixel peeping, surely can see... if see at medium size, or 4R photos, not so visible... try this one... the man left is about the same distace from the camera with the woman at the right. but the man is soft

Thanks dude for the photography crash course meetup just now

It's funny to finds that I understand some the terms reversely

Regarding the PRE WB setting, the D7000 does has the capture and save WB thingy. It can be done by...

1. Setting WB to PRE.
2. Next, release the WB button then press and hold the WB button again.
3. There will be a bigger PRE label flashes in the top LCD menu and ready to shoot a grey or white object.
4. After shoot, the PRE WB for d-0 slot will then be set and can be used immediately by switching to it.

There will be no image stored in MC and can be replicated to other slot to keep the setting.

Just tested this method and the WB rocks. Just exactly like the scene

Thanks again dude for your time for the crash course !

Yeah, it's much easier to use and much accurate WB to match with the ambience

Thank you very much again. I should have not skipped this chapter in the D7000 manual previously

Yeah, another point to note when buying new / used lens.
Next time you need to read the manual first...
So, what feature that A700 has which Nikon/Canon DSLR don't have in terms on Custom WB? Being curious here .

I don't think need to go into menu as well for Custom. Not sure lower end models, but D7000 can do it without going through menu, even save it.
Going through menu is an option and also when you want to use other picture WB as your base WB.

If I'm not wrong, A700 and above are high end models?
D7000 should be around A580 models?
A700 should be with D300S?

No worries, just a discussion here. I am curious when you mentioned that Alpha is more user friendly than Nikon/Canon and would like to know about it.

So, I take it you are referring to PRE right? You just need to press WB to select to PRE, then using one of the dials (I think its the front dial) to select which you want to save it to, d-0, d-1 or something. I don't remember exactly. Then take a shot, and it will save the WB settings for that specific timing. No menu required isn't it?

This is for D90 and above. D7000 is included too.
