Anybody in Miri? I need some assistance. Photography related matter. Pls PM me ur number. Tq!

I shoot RAW and I'm using Pocket Whibal G6 as my WB reference for PP. Tried for JPG once (using PRE WB on camera), but didn't really confident of its accuracy since my card is small. It should be accurate though as peeps at Michael Tapes tested the Whibal one by one.

My very 1st attempt at macro. Must say that it was very challenging. Plus I had a withdrawal syndrome (post-macro sickness ). Maybe macro is not suitable for me

Agito: Thanks!



I've just experienced that. It was a scary moment for my family and I. After checked in at Traders Hotel Penang, we took an elevator to 15th floor. Right before I was about to enter our room, we felt the building shaking like crazy and immediately we rushed down to the nearest staircase. Running down from level 15 was no joke but I'm so grateful that we are fine. What an experience!

Panic after the tremors



Setup: D7000, Nikon 35-80 with Kenko ET, SB600 and DIY diffuser. Thanks!

Great overall tone. If I were you, I'd crop off the red junk food packaging and the protruding tower on the left side.


That is interesting view of Dataran Merdeka. Mind telling more about the shot ie lens selection, techniques, PP etc. Thanks!

Now I know what it's called. I've been wondering whether they use kinda special ultra-fish eye or PP to achieve that. Thanks a lot for sharing!

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

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

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

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').

Considering I'm an occasional macro shooter, I'm very very pleased with the results that I get from this combo:
Nikon 35-80 + auto extension tube

Don't forget about the importance of flash+diffuser (which you can DIY).

After > 17,000 shutter count, my sensor got oil spots again Last year sent to Nikon BTS and they charged me for the cleaning job. Actually this is Nikon's problem, not mine. Should I pay again for their fault?

Why la Nikon never admit, instead doing dirty tricks like planting its staff to wage a war of denial. Shameful!

Oil Spot on D7000

How much do they charge? Mine warranty lapsed oredi.

Anyway, I still have the receipt of the last cleaning job. Can I show them the receipt and say I should get this done for free since it's Nikon's fault?

OIC. Thanks bro!
