Took these shots when I was in Penang few weeks ago. Different angle, different treatment. Which one do you guys prefer?

Guys.. I need a lil advise here.. I have d60.. I want to upgrade to d90? what is ur comment?

if have more cash, i rather up to latest tech like d7k (or save up a bit if not urgent to upgrade)

or upgrade to higher 1 tier for body... if you think is worth enough.

Sweet, it's got this "out of this world" feel How'd you get 2 moons in there?

Rikef, I liked going from D60 to D90, the increase in picture quality and additional control was worth it. Maybe now you'd like to go to D7000 instead tho.

i never liked HDR, so can i say neither?
but in terms of composition, the right one cos has a more natural angle.
the left one has weird distortions going on.

I'm also consider d7k.. I'm addicted with photography after my sister give meher d60..

Haha, I don't really like HDR too but sometimes need to use the technique to nail the shot. Yes, I realised the distortion too. Makes the horizontal line looks curvy

Wow awesome shot! I'll come kuching again to bug you Hahaha

horizontal line not that bad.
the rocks look weird, especially near the bottom.

Depends what type of HDR, most people seems to do the extreme HDR rather than natural HDR, as in to achieve higher dynamic range to capture the shot.

Check below for more natural or proper HDR, the main/primary purpose of HDR is to achieve what our eyes can see:

The other types of HDR, I would consider as "artistic" HDR, well, at least the way I see it.

who needs HDR? just buy D800...right?

D800 in camera HDR ?
any samples ?
if it was like the previous page the guy posted. Awesome!

i think ppl have the misconception of what HDR is after seeing lots of fake HDRs.

Some might like the fake, and some might like a more natural HDR. To each its own. That's why I processed the above 2 photos to resemble both types.

If I had an ND filter with me when shot the scene, I'd not use bracketing but just shoot normally

True and nice article from eddieputra!

But both also doesn't look like the natural type. By the way, did you use high clarity in those pictures?

There's something unique and nice for those extreme/artistic HDR, if it's done well.

Yes, I bumped up the clarity to make it a lil' bit more contrast and sharper.

Anyway, I'm still reading thru' RC's book on HDR. It's a good reference book on how to make HDR tastier (although I don't really dig his own 'taste').

Awesome!

Mind to give tutorial?

Oh yeah finally found someone who sells Kodak Portra 400 films but RM32 per roll

whoa. How much does it cost to have it developed and scanned as well?

hehee twin moons~ d70s. not sure, I know my d80 also got this function. Fun thing to learn. Can create many interesting effects.

I used the multi- exposure feature.

sure, no prob! come come!

Added on April 25, 2012, 8:24 pmerm.. for this shot it was set to multi expose 3 frames.

using 80200 shoot the moon twice, zoom a bit to get different sizes.

then switch to 11-16 and shoot d wide angle

tadaa!!!

I actually just learn can do with multiple lens. Normally i never swap lens when playing multi expose.
