I think you mistaken DOF and sharpness >.<

Can show some pics hehe! Would love to see them!

So sad you went the other side.. Do post here often and share your knowledge

I was wondering how do you get models to make a few poses for you? Do you talk to them 1st before you take the pictures or after taking 1 exposure u show some actions and hint them to make other poses? Haha Thanks!

On 2nd note, picture taken on TimetoAttack!

Yea! Its a lil more expensive wanted to try how the manual focus feels like!
Zeiss manual focusing and nikon's are two totally different thing!
Very nice and smooth but still not used to it!

Added on May 23, 2012, 11:38 pmCurrently street, got poisoned by a friend and the way how street photographers used ranger finders and manually focus on their subject! Just wanted to try something different.
But this lens would be mainly for portrait, but still learning how to make stunning photos from others! Just wanted to try how zeiss feels and the Bokeh is much pleasing although this could be personal!
On 2nd thought. Im next in line for the d800! No3 currently... Nikon delivers to my shop every two weeks.. Hopefully can get by tomorrow if they do deliver! Haha

Hahah I Would love to try! Im living around Petaling Jaya! Don't think I'll ever get the 85mm primes because i have it in range with the 70-200! Maybe i spoke to soon! Haha

Added on May 24, 2012, 12:39 amHmm What I noticed was really bad color fringing!
Maybe all fast lens has this characteristics? Does the Nikon 35mm 1.4G Has the same issue wide open?
Yea smaller apertures for street haha not to worry about nikons low light sensors capability! Still trying to get used to the manual focus ring!

A school of thought that I've read from some website..

"You need to make decisions about depth-of-field. A common technique for the street photographer is relying on hyper-focal distance. I don’t think this is as necessary with modern auto-focus cameras, but the idea is that with a wide lens, in the 30 – 35mm range, you can set the lens to f8, if you have enough light, and set the focus at ten feet, and know that everything from approximately 6 feet to 15 feet will be in hyperfocal distance."

How's super import nights?? I just realize our lens combo around the same lol!

No Internet here in Singapore -.- now only typing in MBS

Just got a call from my usual shop'! The d800 just arrived, too bad I'm in Singapore Can't collect!

Very nice exposure of the skies! I love the locations where you have your shoots!

In USS maybe 20% of the people there carries a DSLR on their neck still

Anyone going for WPPM gathering tonight?

Haha yea at 730pm.. Unfortunately i cannot make it too :/

Are you a member?

Second option is a better choice

Why don't you get the camera with the kit lens 1st.

I have used both 5100 and 7000 before... Main difference is

d7000 has two dials instead of one.(front for aperture and behind for shutter speed, but can be used to change many things as well such as img quality,size,changing around AFA,AFS,AFC, from 1point auto focus to 39 points auto focus etcetc.) This feature itself alone already would make me choose the d7000 over d5100

d7000 Heavier and bigger which feels much more solid in the hands. d7000 is also Weather sealed. d7000 has 6FPS compared to d5100 4FPS

Another huge feature about d7000 is that it can trigger off camera flashes and the d5100 can't(unless you buy radio triggers which adds to cost as well)

At the end of the day it all comes down to budget if you can fork out that extra moolah for the d7000 definitely worth it! Go to shops and try out both cameras and see how it feels in hand.

all the best in your photography journey!

Your questions you better consult a lawyer if you want a solid answer

For the 2nd question did the model sign any release form?

35mm would be equivalent on the camera body that you are using;)

Added on May 29, 2012, 10:04 pmThe form is to protect us as photographers
Form can be downloaded online.. there are chinese and english versions of it, the model need to sign the form physically.. so in the future if you manage to sell the photos he/she can't sue you to get some moolah from you
