If like this, the original poster (makaroni) would not in the first place have said he has a tight budget right?

Proper technique, higher shutter speed (after taking into account your crop factor if you're using DX body) and perhaps a monopod if you can.

VR might prevent motion blur from your hand holding technique. VR would not freeze fast action of the subject. You still get motion blur from the subject moving.

Yes, no doubt.

Of course. When the subject stays put and does not move...

The AF-D can be gotten 2nd hand for much cheaper than 4.4k. Get it now, practice with it and when the time is right, sell it for the VR2. You could probably sell it around the same price you bought it 2nd hand.

Follow Rosmah? Dangerous lah. You'd probably end up with a D3X + 600mm f/4 lens.

Equipment is one thing. Talent is another. I hope nobody confuses and think that when you have great equipment, you get talent great too.

Errr... Why are you posting pics with Canon when this is a Nikon thread?

why the brand matter the most? its photo too!
during studio shoot, im lazy to shoot. i just act as director of posing, and lighting. then i do the PP

I think the brand matter the most coz this is Nikon thread, thus all the discussion and photo sharing is based on Nikon gear.
*Correct me if im wrong.

+, agreed

or maybe Ise just got mixed up with the pix he shot using the kanun

The picture taken by D90 + 85 1.8D, so miss this lens >.<

u shot with calculator brand,then go to calculator thread la..hehe8

*its been sooooo long didnt visit this thread...now ur stars is very2 a lot..

is that my eye or what...i can see leopard pattern bra....

lol Ham Sap xD

hmm..guys, i have never bought any nikon flashes before. was thinking about the sb900. i read reviews and watch youtube, most of em said that the overheating prob sucks.

i dont do super fast events like red carpet shooting or whatever events that's super fast.

i do weddings mostly.

for those who's doing wedding as well n using the sb900, mind sharing ur experience? is it going to overheat easily if im using only the iTTL mode? or should i go for the sb700/800 instead?

thanks!

or u might want to consider SB910 as the option, the same performance with 900 and overcome the overheat issues.

i LOL this

Added on January 30, 2012, 2:39 pmwas using SB900 and work like charm! fuhhhh super bright light compare to SB600. easier to took care the skintone. soft light and im very with it!

but 2nd tot, it was heavy. im using 97% manual mode. working at 1/4 power also need to be consider afraid it overheat. then i got hand on try SB700

dramatically lost lotsa weight! comfy for long time use. sufficient power for average house ceiling. bit suffer on hall but 3rd party white card help much.

one time only got chance to play SB800 and i dont like it because the interface not so friendly user as SB900/700 (many many button shortcut) and it can tilt 90 degree only if to the right side compare to SB900/700 can tilt 180 degree both side

To be frank, you can either post at Canon thread or PIC-A-Day thread and we can all continue discussing about Nikon instead of why xxx posting with yyy camera photo here.

Now back to Nikon topic

as one of 1635 owner, can u please poison me with the lens. looking at the review its quite tempting and worth to have it.

heard about that too, whats the RRP anyways?

good explanation bro, weight wise - i wud prefer lighter ones for allrounder type of thing n heavy ones for heavy duty events, thanks for the infos anyway. and yeah, most high ceilings indoor halls, i'd use the bounce card / lambency diffuser so no probs on that i suppose. power wise, sb700 is good enuf for indoor shootings? i might just consider it

RRP is rm1.6k (the best i can get), more or less is around that price. my friend just bought SB700, but still dont have time to play around with it.

for me its good enuff. mostly 1/4 power already ok. if u use burst low for D90, it can follow up to 5 shot

It is just an f/4... compared to the previous 17-35 f/2.8 at similar pricing... :S

You're in luck... my recent posts are all from the 16-35 f/4 lols.

errr bean, correct me i'm wrong 16-35mm in FX is the equiv to 12-24mm in DX if mounted on its respective FX/DX body yes? The DX FOV of a 16-35mm is about the same as 18-55mm DX kitlens....

oh god the blue color is soooo vivid
