No, I mean got different meh for your Korean trip; If you get D7000, you can get some nice lens and possibly enjoy more during your Korean Trip  tongue.gif
Very under, the background is also not good choice, if you try to expose the subject, the windows blind will be very bright.
No Flash? should use Flash to fill in.

ADDED:
What ISO? Under expose will generate even more noise; Seems there's a lot of noise reduction applied, it looks like water-color already.
The girl in the middle, her cloth looks funny? Like blurred but then...? The left one also, and the flower also; I think due to noise reduction?

I used a speed light because of the background was so bright..(back lighting)

Hahaha its because I was using an app in cs5 to make the pictures look a lil more like oil painting.

ie. I took this pic while I was on the cab in Krabi and this was my 1st picture experimenting on it.. Maybe tonight when im free ill play around more with the settings

For most lenses, sharpest should be between f/8 ~ f/11.
Yeah, the DOF on DX is thinner given the same distance between camera and object. My bad and thanks for correcting me blush.gif
What happened to their skin texture??? OMG!!!

destroyed by the application! wink.gif Was trying to copy oil paintings of fine art!

How one person utilizes it.
Photography also can be complex or simple. Anyone can shoot, just press the shutter.
Flash also anyone can use, just flash.
It's all depend how it's used and understanding it.

Nowadays there's so many high tech function like improved TTL, etc. imagine those days, you have to do almost everything, like the recent DRTV video about street photography with Eric Kim using leica. Kai mentioned about his model doesn't have TTL function (I think).

Yeap! Kai even guessed correctly the exposure for a certain shot! He is truly amazing!

D4 definitely targeting sports photographer. but better AF than the previous D3/D3s or not, no clear answer
heck even AF on D3 also very good already.  tongue.gif

Opps! This is his exact words


Auto focus. Another area not really being highlighted much. I can tell you first hand that the autofocus has been improved... even from the D3S- which I didn't think was possible. Here, the 3D tracking maintains focus throughout the series of images. The focus point continues to move reliably allowing me to maintain focus. I used my 70-200 VRII for these images. Model Rachel Johnston and Luca Taormina were fantastic to work with.

maybe a lil bias but can wait and see reviews wink.gif

digitalrev already made a review on the 85 1.8g!

Really? hmmm.... so I think my brain squeezing is back to making decision on D4.. btw, the megapixel thing is not so important to me. More concern on Focussing Speed.

if youre not in a hurry can wait for the reviews or demo units to try in the future wink.gif

on another note

I saw on fb my friend posted this Canon already have their pricing for Malaysia.. I think its quite steep thou.


"Guys.....just read today newspaper @ the star. 5dm3 body only RRP rm 11500.00 With 24-105 RRP rm 15500.00 — with Fox Lim and 8 others."

Anyone saw this pricing on star newspaper?

M50 is the current best bang for buck for premium range on ear headphones, should be compared to the beats solo. Which is better? I dun dare to shout out hehe scared got beatten up by Dr.dre users ehehehe!

Cy, cannot compare like that 1... its like comparing FX and DX sensor...
When comes to beats studio it should compare with the AD flagship over-ear series. nuf said.

M50s are awesome but I only use it indoors because it gets really hot and ill tend to sweat so I need an environment with aircond!

Here's a picture of mine!

Hi all,

Riding on this Nikon thread, and I do shoot Nikon as well, just wanna check if anyone in here did experience the Hoya ND8 filter on any of the Nikon lens? This would be the same if there is anyone in here do use BW ND110 filter as well?

Also this would be the same as Hoya Star 8 filter as well?

I would be glad that some of the member's in here would post some pics as well, if that permits.  smile.gif

Would really appreciate any help on this smile.gif

Cioa
Kirsten.

Hey buddy! I do use the Hoya nd8 it's great pictures are clear wink.gif

To my understanding Hoya nd8 is 3 stops or is it 4 stops and the b+w is 10 stops

The thread is also made of different material but I forgotten which is it made of, I'm on my iPhone now lol!
