I got LX-3 actually. Suit me liao
But I want to get DA40XS mount with my DSLR - Should be 750g only

Pentax user huh.
You bring both out for travel?

DSLR for overseas.
LX-3 for local.

I'm trying to shed more weight off the lens part. But I wonder if lens can be made even lighter considering the new one weight only 52g.

i found some solution actually will make me feel not so tired for whole day shooting





By using this , wow it save my energy alot

Unfortunately you can only do so (setting up a tripod and remote) if you are travelling by yourself and without much time constraints..if for a group shot I would pass my compact to a passerby and ask them help me shoot can liao.. As long as can see the background slightly and know where is the picture taken, it's ok liao.. These type of shots picture IQ don need too be excellent.. My 2 cents.

Ah well. It's back focused. And street photography not so picky about focusing accuracy one gua?

Buy the 40mm pancake

1. Your travel itinerary + gear
Hong Kong > Macau. Let's focus on Macau in this post
a200 + kit lens + minolta 50F1.7 + F58 flash (regretted bringing this)

Btw, anyone know if airasia permits bringing tripod as hand carry?

2. Your travel experience
If you wanted to take a lot of travel photos, you need a group that slowly enjoy the journey or a similar interest group and not go to as many places as possible kinda group.

3. Nice places for photo shooting
I say night photography in Macau where the crowd's missing is pretty good if you got a tripod with you. Other than that, there's those historical sites, church, big casinos, market for all kind of photography genre.

4. Tips and skills for travel photography
Noob like me better don't give noob advices anyway, enjoy the trip and don't be too obsessed in taking photos

5. Things to be careful or take note
Blood sucking taxis that offer you a round trip around Macau with throat cutting price

6. Last but not least... share your travel photographs here
Don't have awesome photos to share like the others, but here's what I got

Yes what I mean is this thread should be reserved for travel photography and not discusssing on travel tips mah haha. Earlier, the tread like asking for attractions and et

@zeipher, whether can hand carry tripod or not mostly depends on airport.

For Macau, which hotel is recommended for budget travelling???

best is still walkover to zhuhai and stay there. zhuhai hotel is very cheap as rm150 can get very very nice hotel d, and for those kind you need to pay for rm300 at least in macau

anyway, for these travel tips question better ask in travel & living forum bah

hahaha ask here coz got bro just posted about traveling and photography in Macau, i wanna go nice photogenic places so wanna stay near those places in Macau ma. . .

Maybe its different opinion, by self portrait i can take the angle i like, given a camera to unknown to ask them take wont be too nice for sure, maybe u wan to save as memory then it fine, but sometime u really wanna take with that angle, then u have to do it urself, some ppl will found it annoying because need to setup tripod and so, but if u love capture, then u will enjoy the process haha

Normally ppl is enjoy the trip more than capturing, or maybe just capture 1 or 2 then keep the camera inside bag, but i found that we can capture alot of different thing when we go travel, the building, enviroment, sunset, alOt2 more that malaysia dun have, hehe

I don take picture of myself when travelling... unless taking together with my friends... so no issue for me for the need of self portrait.
Ya, if you giv your DSLR to some strangers, they probably dono how to use it also... compact is ok.

It's ok to ask a few Q on travel here... as long as ultimately relate to photography... lol

I like to view pictures taken among us after the trip and see the difference in picture style, composition, angle among each other... i guess this is a way to learn from each other as well.

not all people have the kind of photographer/artistic eyes to capture all the scenery and moment in the flip of a shutter

havent see this before, let me check:)

The strap does reli help...but it will scratch ur camera body at the bottom where u screw it in...but it definitely ease my shoulder..but still I feel tired taking pic whole day...

I just use a no name neoprene strap.. Cost rm10 bucks and best strap ever

Just activate the live-view mode and give them shoot.

and switch to auto mode...

Sometimes i even choose a highend camera user, if can find one around.
