i got 3.5m retractable ruler, now just need to find 10m+ space for me to focus

not really need focus to infinity, just sometime street photography is useful to get more area in focus so i can snap and run

i did that and most of the time end up blur image

there is no focus distance on my lens

i dont always shoot street, only when i go out with my camera

i normally shoot half body for landscape and full body for portrait on my 35mm, framing isn't a big deal for me since i get used to the focal length already

16mp still sufficient and still can crop a lot, if not for printing 16mp is very good because in the end upload to facebook will be resize to 2048 long edge

btw...i saw someone post about architecture photography copyrights infringement in one of my facebook group and the story goes like this



basically the person go to one of the bridge in The Curve there for a photoshoot, that's a famous spot for photoshoot because of the background and environment.

then a guard come and say they are infringing the architecture copyrights by taking photos of their properties while in the picture it does not really reveal the building design since it is more like some full body portraits

so question there, is the guard has the rights to stop us from taking photograph of that particular "structure"/place?

or maybe they got some other secret reason that stop us from taking photos in that section?

photoshoot in public places should not be a problem and it is not against any laws/rules unless stated or as long as the photoshoot session does not disturb anyone right?

and shopping mall should be consider as public place which mean we are allow to take photos since we are in public places and as long as we do not commercially distribute the photos?

i'm bad in laws, but i just want to know this basic laws to protect myself

what about right outside of the bridge? i'm not sure where is the location of the bridge leh, never went there before

yeah...in suria KLCC they even put up a signboard throughout the shopping mall saying that no photographing of the places and distribute it

i see, but doing so is violating architectural copyrights rights but intrusion of private properties?

if i'm not mistaken malaysia laws is still following UK laws?

everyone include newbie also can join?

i mean the WPPM that one

why suddenly everyone want to go krabi, my sister ask me whether i want to go there at the end of december, and one of my friend just back from krabi not long ago @_@

doesn't look hdr at all

sigma lens not as good as nikon lens la, i have no regret going for 55-300mm

tele lens is better with VR/OS

macro is just marketing gimmick because they are only 1:2 magnification unlike the true macro lens which can do 1:1 magnification

actually 55-300mm also can go to 1:2 magnification, i think most of the tele zoom lens also can do it

not to mention to get a stable at 300mm handheld without VR/OS will need at least 1/250s or faster shutter, been there, tried it with my 55-300 without VR handheld and the result is disappointing

maybe my hand is too shaky

you have to take the physical condition of the body, duration of shooting/event into consideration as well la

tried calvin seak 70-200 2.8 on his D800, definitely more stable, but hand get tired faster as well

btw....my 55-300 when zoom from around 55-250mm the zoom action is smooth, from 250-300 is feel tighter and not smooth feel a bit tight, is it zoom ring got problem?

70-300 is fx lens while 55-300 is dx so 55-300 is cheaper, optics i guess i roughly the same

but 70-300 VR got IF ED

not out of focus but shallow depth of field

You PP on the girl?

will have shake since VR is just help to reduce vibration while not totally eliminate it

i also like pic like this more than those distorted big head pic
