hi all.. juz a quick question... if in bright day light, i wanna shoot a waterfall/stream wif low SS (1~3 secs) to get the milky water effect... and my aperture is at the smallest but my picture is still overexposed... only way to solve it is using ND filters rite?

any other way?

yep, no other way unless you get the ND filter. oh, lowest iso possible

Forgot to charge battery, shoot half way at AFA...battery habis!! sigh

worst case scenario. been through that situation before , family day

just back from AFA, everyone armed with DSLR and camera, and with flash pointing to the high ceiling. Some even point to flash to the crowd when portrait mode. Like flash bang.

Dont they know the ceiling is TOO HIGH?

everyone trying to look pro la.
its like they think a pro must only put flash head straight up.

at least use a demb flash lah. Anyway, i have shoot with X100 extensively the past month or two. Shoot with DSLR and X100 today, and i have to said, shooting with X100 today is way more fun then my Nikon.

DSLR mainly to shoot those model, but if want to shoot street style on everything, X100 easier lah.

thats why u need to go buy 28mm 1.8G for ur dslr

i use 16-35 today, so focal length wise, i felt just nice,

Just the feeling and the ease and speed of pulling the camera from waist to eye level and shoot takes longer for DSLR than small camera like X100.\

Edit: 28 1.8g in my wishlist too.

have to bump up the ISO pretty high there aye?

i use nokia n8 and Galaxi Ass III shoot like a ....


noob

auto ISO + spot metering go as high as 3600, most of the time can keep below 1500

using very slow shutter on 55-300mm zoom thanks to my monopod

wta, what caused this small dot glitch?

tried on my both lens with no filter watever on. it appears on d same spot for every few picture when in low light/dime settings.

lens : 50mm 1.8D / 18-55mm / D90

hot pixel , google it

Guys,I just bought Nikkor 35mm f1.8 and Nikkor 55-300mm F4.5-5.6 lens for my Nikon D5100.

after reach home,I try the lens and the Nikkor 55-300mm zoom ring will produce some weird sound.is it normal?because my kit lens doesn't produce any sound as well.

Nikkor 35mm not able to focus correctly. I use single point and select the item in front of me.but the words on the object still blurry.Is it correct?

Both lens are made in CHINA

Actually ceiling high still got difference compared to shooting without flash at all.
Of course, got reflector, etc maybe better, but some people may not have it or may not want to use it. If you seens before indian wedding at large halls, it's darker than normal dining ballroom and there're many colorful spotlights or colorful lights around, the ceiling is very high but those pro wedding photographers still tries to bounce the flash. It still makes a difference to not using flash at all.

googled and thxs for d point out

my 55-300 also got a very soft screw sound when turning, not audible when i look through view finder and in noisy environment

the minimum focus distance is around 30-40cm for 35mm and the depth of field will be very small at f1.8, unless you focus accurately else it will be blur
