u never try using distortion control in-camera?
apparently get similar results if u use nx2 to fix distortion.

No not really haha! I actually quite like the distortion on 16-35 with landscapes n events lol!
I've also not looked at that feature in the camera yet too!

I thought at the 27mm end there would be lil or no distortion.. Cause I've read somewhere that distortion can be really noticeable at 20 and below!

Thanks alot! ;D More pics to come after I reach back home!

hard to find "modern" good 28mm nowadays.

the 28N is as good i think, but not using nikon laugh.gif not even full frame.
I like fast 28mm, perhaps when i use back nikon slr will definitely buy it wub.gif or the 28 1.4D

I think you can apply for the media pass for TTA2. I had mine applied for TTA but I couldnt make it due to Formula Drift and I hope they still accept media pass re-application smile.gif Give it a try : http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/mis...?do=form&fid=10

Thank you for sharing Leonard! wink.gif

the basics of cos is to try to get white looking white, or black is black.
ur color dropper or matcher or whatever u use will of cos help.

so for that monster hand girl, is the blouse white / red? cos color says its a very light grey.
also would look nicer if the flash on the left is higher up, so you can get hair light on top instead of hotspot on her butt.

Hmmm thanks!

I'll have a look at it.. That was what I was aiming for but didn't manage to get that rim light on her hair due to space constraint and didn't have any assistant on site.. But nevertheless it's still my fault!

Skin tone is weird, WB? Or something else?

Did you apply noise reduction? Seems the face have some watercolor effect, usually caused by noise reduction, or is it the makeup?
Or possibly loosing clarity? Can try pump in some clarify as see.
*
Great observation!

Yea I did lose the clairty at the face thought of softening the skin..
Some NR was applied.. Was shot at 1000 ISO.
I'm not to sure about the makeup, I'm not experience in that field..

hmm..saw u posting this model shooting for a new designer from France right? honestly speaking, i dont feel the 'umphh'. pardon me saying this, but the lighting is kinda bad. is it direct flashing? try using some light modifiers. and the exposure can be better too. skin tones as well. n looking at the body ur using, u can do so much better.

just my 2cents smile.gif there's always room for improvement for all of us! thumbup.gif
*
I get where you're coming from ;D

Hmm from that picture above

Was a SB 910 with a shoot through umbrella on the right as they key
A SB700 bouncing off a White reflector on the left as fill
and another sb700 behind of the models for that setup..

Much to learn! Hopefully could see much improvement over the months? biggrin.gif

Thanks! rclxms.gif

Funny that the D800 has 0.1 EV dynamic range better than the D800E...

Oops so sorry! >.< my parents are in US right now, that is what triggered me from sharing >.<

Is the 90mbps and 60mbps speed very significant jchue? I'm still undecided >.<

Maybe this shows nikons inconsistency in Qc that's why the small margin of .1 EV or maybe inconsistency in the test of dxo

Still a small margin thou haha

I think there is more blue cast on the hood of the car bottom which makes the car on top stands out a lil more..

But i love the sky on the bottom picture more depth in it
