I am always amazed by celciuz pics !!  rclxms.gif  flex.gif  rclxm9.gif
just wondering got heavy PP on the color toning?? i love the ambient light but its super hard to get it this way.......

These are the easiest to obtain... just expose correctly and you get it... nothing special. What's special is those strobist ones... those are hard to replicate. (aiming to shoot those now xD)

I agree. Strobes are much harder to play than ambient light...

Damn later will be doing studio shoot again. Hopefully can apply what Ted Adnan taught...lolz

Still it shows a good level of knowledge of how to use the light & camera & compo etc. I cant seem to get as celciuz does in his pics.

Tip for you, 2 important variable to take note.

1. Exposure
2. White balance

Try it out and see if you get what you want or not.

thanks celciuz for the tip...i always have trouble with exposure, tends to be under alot....

While in A/S/P mode, metering tends to underexpose. Shoot in manual, or use exposure compensation (EV).

Yeap, that looks more like what January 2012 should be announcing. Similar to what DigitalRev reported earlier. Seems like this D4 is going to be a low light king, even better than D3s. Look at the AF in low light, spec wise that is.

If the D800 is pricey, I will definitely opt for D4... I like D4 specs more than D800's! Too bad its no longer D3/D700 combination already.

I just need a good full frame body, don't mind if D700 price drops and get it. smile.gif

If the D800 price goes up, say RM10~RM12k, D700 price eventually will go up due to demand > supply when it is discontinued. Better grab one now tongue.gif

should i go for 70200VRII first or grab the D700?

I see you have a few DX lens, if you go D700 only the 24-70 would be useful. When you go D700, you need to refresh your lens line up.

are u saying that its better to grab 70200 first? coz even i bought d700, i still keep this d90 as my collection.since it my birthday gift..

Ask yourself, do you need the telephoto range from 70200? If yes, then 70200. If not, D700.

guys! need help here.. anyone can recommend me a best bang for buck package of d300s? including SB, BG and few must have lenses. max is 8k.. need to get it by end of this week.. do recommend  me some shops around kl selangor.. tq smile.gif
*
What are you using the camera for?

I would definitely recommend the D7000 over the D300s. You've a nice budget there! D7000+MB-D11+SB900(or SB910?)+17-55 if I had 8k to spend on a new DX system.

waa.. is it?i got use my fren d7000 and d300 b4. somehow, i fell in love with d300.. thats why im considering the d300s.. biggrin.gif i 'll be more on sport photography because currently im working in event management for youth and sport section..

Get the D300s then.

QUOTE(Irbean @ Dec 12 2011, 11:54 AM)
+1.
eventhough d7k its better in term of IQ etcetera, there's also few user out there prefer d300s, because of the size and the 51 focus point.
and the combination of D7k +MB-D11+SB900/SB910+17-55 F2.8 = boombastic DX King!!!

i think i need it. but at the same time my D90 didnt give the satisfaction result with my 2470, maybe because the lens didnt give out his full potential on DX Crop body..aiya tough decision though..
im just afraid the 80200 didnt give satisfaction, especially to the color the lense produced compared to the VRII
*
70-200 VR2 is easier to handle compared to the 80-200, better weight distribution. Also better in all aspects except price tag biggrin.gif

QUOTE(MrAkay @ Dec 12 2011, 12:28 PM)
its always better to get glass first, but in d700 case i think get body first. its freaking hard to find d700 brand new in stock right now.it took me so long i almost gave up finding one in stock (tq fotokem!  notworthy.gif )
however, i think nikon wont drop d700 from production anytime soon, they will continue produce d700/d800 since both bodies cater to different target market (700 for photo/800 for video) and 70200, u can buy anytime cos its a new lens.
and since u got 2470 already, can just use the 2470 as ur daily lens. 2470 more then enuff to cover all sorts of events
*
D800 will replace the D700, I would say D700 will phase out. Its either D800 or D4.

QUOTE(MrAkay @ Dec 12 2011, 01:41 PM)
6500, u have to really rajin ask if got stock or not haha. most stores tell me they dont want to display d700 anymore cos usually they have 1 or 2 left only. 1 store tried to sell me d700 + sb900 combo pack for 7900.. i was like wtf? mentang2 la 1 whole malaysia takde stock..
*
RM6500!? Wow price have increased quite a bit. I know D700 price went up a little because SB900 drop price as the shops gets 1 D700 + 1 SB900 from Nikon each time.

biggrin.gif my exposure always slight under have to post process to correct. Every time forget check WB cos always on AWB  sweat.gif  then amoi skintone come out not white white smooth smooth like that la... saw my KL friend photo result on camera, wa.. so nice the amoi skin color, he only tell me WB.. then I forgot jor till i read ur tip haha ! Hopefully I can remember when got chance shoot amoi.
*
Haha... for me I shoot in AWB and RAW so I correct it later on during PP. I usually set 1 photo, then the rest follow and fine tune. Mainly because my LCD is calibrated but my camera's is not. Also I don't want to waste time fiddling around the WB since most of the time I can't get what I want as I need to adjust the tint as well.

oh RAW, no wonder most of ur pics the color all so perfect haha. nice pics though~

This is the added advantage of RAW, even if you shoot at fixed WB indoors especially with fluorescent lighting will change the hue. Unless you kill ambient light and use flash as main light source.
