How quiet is the Sony 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 DT SAM?

Here's a quick test to see how quiet focusing is, in a moderately quiet camera shop. Note that sound is amplified due to the A65 auto-gaining in quiet situations. Direct Manual Focus was also used - the focus ring was intentionally turned to see if it would be audible.



Pretty quiet, I'd say! You could only hear it if you put it to your ear and focused it. The full-time Direct Manual Focus is quite like SSM lenses - turn it without spoiling the lens!

You know where to find it - an important character is spotted in the starting of the video. wink.gif

sorry it is not kit lens... if you say like that A77 kitty also 1560 only... selling more than RM2200...

BTW there is a pricing from Sony 1U at Garage Thread...

Sony A65-(16gb+sony case)
A65 body-rm2640
A65k(18-55mm)-rm2950
A65VM(18-135mm)-rm3999NEW

Sony A77-(16gb+sony case)
A77 body-rm3750
A77VQ(16-50mm F2.8)-rm5500
A77VM(18-135mm)-rm5299NEW
difference is more than 1k... and with the pricing placed t A77... so it might be around RM2k...
since 1650 F2.8 SSM is selling around RM2300 (new)...

8tvt: Well it is supposed to come with the A37 as well, but I was not aware of such a package then.

The price I heard for the 18-135mm by itself was lower than that. But we'll see when it is officially in stock as a stand-alone item. wink.gif

kysham: Like you wouldn't lah. wink.gif

soket: I haven't recategorized the F42 as a second-hand item, but do we see more F42 boxes around, or second-hand F42s? If there are still new F42s, how much are they?

You will need to buy it before you will know whether you want it or not. If like me, I know I want it, so I will eventually buy it. Just.... not now. Works better. laugh.gif

hi guys i have a problem right now..

hmm, I just recently got an UWA, tammy 11-18 to be exact.

well, the problem is, the AF works on A55, but not on a700 . On a700, the screen keeps on show 'MF' although the focus mode select at the front shows S/A.

anyone knows what going on? Normally lenses cant work on DSLT, now the other way round ?

I learn from many source in 1 time...
basically I introduce myself with this line.
I in photography more than 3 years since I 1st brought my DSLR which I still using it right now. I use Sony Alpha as my excellent tool as photograph something day to day basics.. I shoots landscape which influent by "HDR Guy" Trey Ratcliff and Karl Taylor and currently I inspired by "NASA Guy" Gary Friedman,"Strobist Guy"David Hobby ,"OneLight" Zack Arias. Recently I found out Strobing the flash is kindda interesting because you can take of your flash and play around and make things more challenge.

They are great guy too share with. About more advance stobist system by alpha system... is by Garry Friendman.
Other sources, depends what kind of photography you like.

most pictures look underexposed on my monitor. and your last picture looks out of focus due to focusing against a bright source. and what is your main subject in that shot? the rest are just close up of flower shots. sorry to say they look quite plain laugh.gif nice try though. keep it up!

About the last picture... I is purpose out focus it to get the dreamy effect under lightroom 4 postprocesing..

imo, shooting picture is art. everyone have different taste. that is true if shoot in video everything must be plain so that you have more room to fine tune the color coding, but shoot still in raw, still can adjust the color.


Added on July 22, 2012, 12:19 ambtw, anyone here using yongnuo flash? good?

Thanks for comment... about yongnuo flash... I learn that if you full control manual... then, any flash will do... that is One Light Master Zack Arias Teach me.
If you want some reliable TTL/ADI Flash.. stick to Sony Flash. This is NASA Engineers Gary Friedman and Sony flash master Teach me during his visit in Malaysia.

hope it help.. rolleyes.gif

This picture is rather simple and we categories in close up. I feel rather boring and use DOF focus on the flower's arts of beauty with nice bokeh.
things doe't happen to be perfect when I snap it without diffuse flash... So, I hand held with Flash Cable(wired) bouncing the flash towards the floor with HSS sony alpha system.
therefore, need so good opinion about it. Do you have some better opinion on this? icon_question.gif

totally agree with you bro, the picture must be plain and simple. ever lasting to your eyes, and tells a story.

The longer you look at the picture, the nicer it looks, just like girls with true beauty... hehehehe

To be honest, feels like grabbing your picture and put it on my desktop...haha...

My taste will give you a vote bro...

Zstan taste maybe abit different, and shoot a different style?

I always have problem in landscape shoots because need put on 0.6 ND Grad and so on. Karl Taylor's Master Class teach lots in this area.

Moonwalk, welcome to alpha thread ^^
Nice pics u hv there. Even greater list of masters that you're 'training' under. Mind if i give my 2 cents? Im in no way near 1% of those masters though. But what I see is that you need more effort though if you are to use your pic to deliver a msg that you're trying to convey. Many of the shots do look like snapshots to me. What made them seems nice is merely your 'instagram-ish' editing style. Then again, 2 years is quite short a time in a photography point of view. Most important is that along the road, you learn to appreciate what's a good shot and what's not, not only in others' work, but also your own. Good job though with your enthusiasm with this art. Keep it up. We've got many experienced users here to guide should you hv any questions you hv to ask. Share more pics as well.

lwliam, Thanks for warm welcoming. I hope learning more from people who give honest criticize too and point out my mistake. Indeed, I'm very lucky know most of the master from overseas and today I will meet Patrick Low again in MMU melaka. Here his previous video which I learn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63kmqkAq5m4
His is in 20 years of photography and deliver alot info about ARTS of lights. Currently he is in WPPM mainly conceptual wedding shooting also Asian Awards Winner.

I also being introduce by peer about keda. Z for his Canon gear base and photoshop and lightroom skill which gain him International awards.

I'm very lucky too to meet Stock photographer Joey Chan for Product shooting for his speedlight difusser(Pro Kit speed light) mainly which require me spend RM300+ Is he is not teaching much... Just sales his product much mainly.

I meet up too many Nikon and Canon friend. I have fear they not sincere to tell my weakness in my picture. When I ask,what is the problem. They not really have idea on it. I don't lable as FB "like" person. I want something is about photograph something. Even,500px and flicker... all is praising not bad comment.

I'm try too convey my picture is to deliever what I know, I also hope sifu here ...use what I know to screw me up.. icon_question.gif

About snapshot case, I can't say is snap shoots.. My focus is in teaching my friend who still newbie in travelling photography with fast and clean.

About instagram-ish' editing style. I being convince by various source, "WHY you should post-processing" by Simmon Chong,WPPM Pro. Melacca Photographer.
Here is some before post-processing picture.

moonwalk, my impression on you is that you're someone who are more of a theoretical person rather than a practical one. 3 words, go shoot more. I'm not saying that there's no need at all for post processing. PP is used to enhance a photo, not to salvage an unusable one. The photo has to be noteworthy to begin with, rather than slap bang on a retro look and add some helvetica font to make any pic look wow!

lwliam thanks for your comment. Thanks for your comment. I admit I'm theoretical person. About practical... 3 words go shoot more. I would like to say... If I shoot blindly.. why shall I share opinion here?
Thanks pull back your word... about post processing... you mention it earlier about instangram look. slap bang on a retro look and add some helvetica font. << I'm sure... you better idea and picture to convince me.

Hi Moonwalk... i do not think he is shouting at your but just sharing their thoughts...
photography is a art where ppl just shows ppl what message they wanna convey to ppl on those pics...
i scroll thru the photos u post... not bad but... the 1st post is a bit plain, as said by some one also...

but i like this post... pls allow me to give my humble opinion as i'm no master just newbie here...

#2 if you can shot him at other angle maybe you can get nicer view... the truck at the back is a lil obstructing...
#3 if you can chop off the sign on the right is perfect...
#5 frankly it is a lil plain... if you shoot more towards the upwards and to the left so the building is not in the photo i think it would be nice..

All of us like to shoot... Photograph...
Sometimes do not take those comment harshly...
frankly if u see the photos in my Flickr u will notice not much in a session, but in actual fact I shot more than 200 photos most of the time...
But to capture the "moment" it is not that easy but u need a good composure and most important the correct time...

Take it easy... Shoot more and post more... The more ppl comment the more u will learn...
Cheers...

@moonwalk : we are not shouting at you. we are sharing our thoughts.
yes, u might have learnt from alot sifu, but learning theory doesnt make you a pro. i learnt lots of theories too but i just keep quiet and post photos.

one thing you need to learn is to be humble. your act of coming into this thread and start to say how well you have learnt from your 'masters' is kinda rude.

yes, you are always welcomed to post photos here, and we would be glad to share our opinions. but the problem is when we share our thoughts, you in return answer back defensively with your masters' theory and not the pure explanation why you took the shots.

photography is our passion, so yeah, share more photos and not masters' theories.

last but not least, you are always welcome to post in here. nobody is angry or shouting at you.
if you dont feel comfortable, you can always post your photos at the showcase subforum. i bet you'll get more general attention there, you can spread your knowledge too. smile.gif

cheers. biggrin.gif

Added on July 22, 2012, 11:05 pm@moonwalk, clearly you've misunderstood the difference between giving an opinion and blind criticism. I gave my opinion and it's up to you whether to accept it or not. Never in any of my comments above mentioned that your photos are bad or distasteful, I could, but I didn't. See the difference in that? It's absolutely up to you what you want to snap, but this is a public space and once it's up here, everything is subjected to a fair share of criticism and praise - which in this case, if you read my words above properly, it's more of the latter. Do point out to me where did I condemned your work and I can either defend myself, or if I find myself guilty as charged, I'd gladly apologize. Stop being a stuck up kid and open up your mind to what others have to say for a change.

Take fansoption here for an example, I was already in this forum when he first started sharing photos here in Alpha Thread. And I dare say, he's went through a metamorphosistical change in his works through this entire time. He's now got one of the best works shared here in this forum amongst others. I bet many here would agree with me on this sentiment.

Moonwalk, KEEP SHOOTING & POSTING & SHARING (yes, I'm shouting). it's great that you are learning from the great talents in the photography industry, but do take it in moderation. The most important part in a photography is ENJOYING THE SHOOT! I've always emphasized this at the beginning, middle and the end of the photography workshops which I conduct for Sony Malaysia.

I've been taking photos for more than 15 years now (on & off) but I had never considered myself a pro by any stretch of my imagination. But I had been enjoying it ever since I took my first photo with my first film slr, the Canon AV-1. I dare not say I'm a master but I would like to give some general comments regarding the photos you've shared in this forum thus far. While I truly understand your objective of keeping simplicity in mind, but I think you have yet to achieve your objective with most of your shots. There are simply too many conflicting elements in your photos to suggest you are going with the simplicity concept. From the way you present your photos & yourself, I would be assuming you should be technically well versed with the sony alpha system, as well as with the technicality of taking a photo, and I think that's a great start. Try to conceptualize a photo objectively before shooting. That might help. In the film era, every time we press the shutter, it is money. So we had to think about the shot before we press the shutter. That may help you in simplifying the contents & composition.

I feel sorry for you that you got a shock from comments from some members in this forum. But, this being a community based forum, I guess you got a crashed course in social networking.... you will meet people from all walks of life & all type of behaviour in here. That's part of the charm of an online community. Hope you can learn to accept that. Hope you are not going to leave this thread simply because of this.

yup. i very scare use tamron to shoot family potrait, the corner all will distort "very obviously" i rather use 1855 kit to shoot with less distort, and since family portrait is F8.

The Underexposure I not sure... my side is okay... maybe,I need use spyder 4 pro calibrate the monitor. About the plain issue.. you have any idea? Because,my photographer from Korea.. He teach us.. picture must plain and simple Clean ,able deliver story. Don't all the object is pulling the attention.
About the last picture... I is purpose out focus it to get the dreamy effect under lightroom 4 postprocesing..
Mind to share about your idea?  icon_question.gif

Fixed. i rather say, a photo must be 'clean', rather then Plain and Simple, because Plain just show boring, and Simple show laziness. Clean show perfectionist. but its my humble opinion, maybe you prefer your korean's teacher's quote.

Point of view of Conceptual Arts is like your personal "Brand". This image also not happen in few click and settle... Won't won any awards in professional judgement.
so, I will refer back all my Conceptual Arts to my master Patrick Low. He friendly guy... now involve intensively in WPPM industrial. I kindda disappointed him in bring me to WPPM joint them.. I know where I stand... I not ready for any photography as my profession yet. Just,moderate.
Here is the light painting with very low bajet.

Point of view of Conceptual Arts is like your personal "Brand". This image also not happen in few click and settle... Won't won any awards in professional judgement.
so, I will refer back all my Conceptual Arts to my master Patrick Low. He friendly guy... now involve intensively in WPPM industrial. I kindda disappointed him in bring me to WPPM joint them.. I know where I stand... I not ready for any photography as my profession yet. Just,moderate.
Here is the light painting with very low bajet.

if you dont mind, i have some comments.

1. your first photo, is underexposed, not sure its intentionally, or a mistake. it show neither day or night/dawn, hence it convey a half message, and imcomplete photo.

2. but then, many professional attain ARPS, RPS and/or Saloon certificate by submitting Conceptual Photo for their exam papers. Steve Chong (a local photographer who came out books, Ying Yang, Sigma endorsed photographer) famous landscape photographer (support local photographer please~ tongue.gif) also uses conceptual photo for his professional cert exam.

3. normally, other photographer will just shoot your 'chinese chest conceptual art photo' (not sure it was conceptual art or u just wanna show 'light painting technique')
its badly executed. seriously bad. there are countless mistake could be found (as exam are using deduction system).
my comments are,
i) try to fix the WB, your cool WB is not really portraying any emotion of 'intelligent in strategy' nor 'war-cry'... it felt sleepy.
ii) you messy arrangement (some chess piece facing backwards sidewards etc, ) show weakness, it show a 'messy' management of a 'commander'... come'on even old man in the park arrange their chess piece nicely before play! and commander also can be refer as you, you did not put any effort to create a photo(or winning the war!).
iii) light painting (i guess its a torchlight), are messy... here large spot, there small spot, making it, well, maybe, perfectly imperfect... or imperfectly perfect. whichever u prefer. it doesnt create any dramatic feel, as the purpose of 'lighting' in conception art.

try putting more thought into a photography before shooting. it is exactly how other photographer like william or kysham will say, its just like a snapshot even my little girl can shoot better.

4) william is a great teacher, because he doesnt beat around the bush to get to the point. he may be harsh, but the harsher, the faster and stronger u grow. you said u dont like people pusing pusing or faking in commets... bear with him. if u meet him in real life, trust me, u cant stop laughing with him from the minute u meet till you say goodbye.

5) u never use Lee, u will Never understand. HDR is ugly to me. it not even 'reality' its a 'digital mumbojumbo crap'. getting the pure 'exposure' from manipulating exposure manually in a single exposure give u true endless satisfaction. and u dont need Lee to get those great photo. Taiwanese, are the PRO with 'black card techniques' with landscape black card cost 20cent only, unlike indonesian where heavily rely on GNDs filters (cokin/lee system), while the orang putih like to use 'digital' HDR(enhance a landscape digitally). but i will agree its personal preference on 'landscape' but digital enhance landscape is always a 'fake/tipu orang' piece of art.

6) i think we have meet before.... maybe not...

I don't mind helpful and solid with knowledge comment instead of harshness with 3 words "Go and shoots" this is not an ethical photographer maybe for me. How his convince reader in his various blog such as F1.4 and bla bla bla.. I suddenly change my mind. He not a ethical photographer after he say bang the wall... "Angry forum people" why I shall speak talk with them? Show me he is certified awards winner Period. MPA,UK and bla bla bla... He will not be any professional photographer. HONEST

About Conceptual photographer.. Honest to tell... there are long road for me. All about is planning... that everyone agree that.

The Chinese Chess, I paint with touch lights.. yup is with purpose of light arts... since,my camera don't have multiple exposure. I have to use 1 go...
here another version
user posted image
which I ever think like what you think. BAD case.... I really no idea to make it perfects. Period... still mysteries for me.

I use LEE,B+W,IR and GND of course I know they are very good. B+W 10 stops will also have colour cast issue.. therefore, I will decision wanting it or not.

HDR!!! Never speak with my sifu. KEDA.Z he very anti people say he using HDR in his arts.. I know him. Therefore, I stop at HDR only for LANDSCAPE purpose.
Black Cards.. I only get info from friend.. Never hand on experiences on that. FAKE/TIPU piece of arts..REAL HDR from orang putih... They teach me Natural HDR.. not that POPPING HDR. .

Support Local photographer? I do support them like KEDA.Z ,Jen Siow, My University seniorSaiful Nang start his photography with RM50, My favourite Patrick LowI like this guy He explain everything including why he use concept and planning.
I don't like Joe Chan he teach me buy his stuff... where can easily diy with a piece of paper. and many more...

Why not support william??? He say ... shoot like a small gurl is not photography. where, I know a person guru call David Chua . I love his photograph.... support william???
I dunnoe... maybe his f1.4 blog need some changes... "Practice as what you preach". I here also not again him...

I not sure we meet before, but... nice to meet up too.. honestly you explain very well.. Sincere person.

The shogi... This shoots is taken with sunlight ray... which only few minutes... I faster get my camera snap it. Not big deal for your complement.. I still thinking view that can bring up the mood... very hard figure out.
Product shoot is like bang... finish.. some stories telling picture indeed proven hard.

thanks for your supportive comment. smile.gif

Let's get one thing clear, NEVER did I ask anyone before to support me. Never did I also ask anyone to follow what I say. I was merely sharing my ideas and it is entirely up to the individual whether to 'try to understand' what I'm saying. In your case, I don't think so you understand any of it at all. Disgrace for someone who is coming from a prestigious university of MMU that you can't even construct a proper English sentence (and yes, THIS is mocking you, you asked for it). Don't even say you're from MMU in public - and yes, I am your SENIOR (not that you care anyway).

I am proud of my own work whether others like it or not, that is the reason I don't hide it, I share it for everyone to have access to it. Show us your work, let everyone judge if what you shoot is what you say it is. Else, learn to listen to what others have to say with an open heart. As for my blogs, I admit that I am not a good website designer. I'm not from IT or FCM (if you're a true MMU student, you'd understand what that means) background. Nevertheless, I am still proud to show it out. Kapish?

moonwalk: it's better to let your picture do the talking rather than brag and bring all your sifu's into the scene for the picture background to show people that your picture are worth something because you learn from the professionals. The picture are taken by you, not your sifu.

you can share your settings, gear and processing for the picture's... rather than explain who teach you how to take that picture.

jimlim, if you really intend to shoot weddings and events in the future, it's better for you to invest in a Sony flash, be it F42, F58 or F43. Manual flash will be very slow and unpredictable to catch the quick moving moments.

shoot manual is do-able. just, the key "reliable" of missing that moment, stand between that rm200YN vs RM1k Sony.

there are time where we do not want to think, just shoot, let our investment does all the thinking job.

Hello guys,

Just bought my first DSLR, a A57 with 50mm F1.8 prime from Studio Zaloon.

I wonder if Derek who was hanging out at the outlet when I was there is hanging around in this part of the forum as well. biggrin.gif

i may not be a pro photog with many good works of art like u guys here. i am just a casual photog to jot down some memories of everything around me.
many low profile photogs or sifu here has the work of art that always make me has the huge impact with a big WOW feeling on them, and yet they dont claim they are the students from this n that famous sifu to get credits. where else for those who did that, their work of art just feels average and doesnt leave me the big WOW factor as i feel from the rest. i am not a pro, i just comment based on my own personal feeling. peace. tongue.gif

Haiyo people, stop all of these please. Moonwalk, you continue on with your life in the thread, ignore those people you dislike (well try to like them), and for others please. If you dislike him just ignore his replies. Why cause a big hoohaa in a discussion thread?! shakehead.gif

Let's get one thing clear, NEVER did I ask anyone before to support me. Never did I also ask anyone to follow what I say. I was merely sharing my ideas and it is entirely up to the individual whether to 'try to understand' what I'm saying. In your case, I don't think so you understand any of it at all. Disgrace for someone who is coming from a prestigious university of MMU that you can't even construct a proper English sentence (and yes, THIS is mocking you, you asked for it). Don't even say you're from MMU in public - and yes, I am your SENIOR (not that you care anyway).

I am proud of my own work whether others like it or not, that is the reason I don't hide it, I share it for everyone to have access to it. Show us your work, let everyone judge if what you shoot is what you say it is. Else, learn to listen to what others have to say with an open heart. As for my blogs, I admit that I am not a good website designer. I'm not from IT or FCM (if you're a true MMU student, you'd understand what that means) background. Nevertheless, I am still proud to show it out. Kapish?

@lwliam
I already say... I don't like your comment. So,you don't have to comment and just keep silent. Please show that you are mature than me instead explaining who you are. I Don't know how to constructs English proper sentence? rclxub.gif this is forum not English Class/TEST. insult you too. biggrin.gif . I'm from MMU... yeah I'm. but,I come with peace and leave with peace.. thumbup.gif make the whole forum is yours and need others talk for you and convince me you are GREAT. I'm genuine MMU student who love my uni so much where provide all this unexpected knowledge.

Wow, you really are that infantile by asking questions like that aren't you? Can't blame you anyway. Do brush up on your English before proceeding to mock me in that language son, don't embarrass yourself. WOW! You're from FET then? Sorry to say, I'm from FOE myself. And sorry to have to let you down again, being an engineer in the working world isn't as glamorous as you thought it would be, you'll understand as you start your journey outside the gates of the university, word of advice to my little junior, learn to listen to others in the working world, and it'll make your life a lot easier. That way, you'll stop making a fool out of yourself.

Anyway, what's your point of printscreening your LR UI? I have one too, your's doesn't look that much different than mine actually, apart from the edited picture of a bunch of kids in the centre that is.

guys... pls stop it... i do not meant to offend any one but it sounds stupid to argue like kids here...

@Will,
can you let him brag about all the stuff the kid wanna write... about his photography experience...

@moonwalk,
pls do not argue, i do agree with others that your language is a lil er... off...
pls do not interpret from chinese as the meaning will be different... that is most of the ppl done in the past, think in chinese (or what ever dialect) and write in english, sometimes it does not sounds/meant what you think it is or what you wanna say...


and lastly... cheers... have a good nite sleep...

I have already said... don't have to comment my picture. Can you understand my plain english? Senior in engineering? so? working life hard? I think you make a huge mistake. Working life is about passion and love your job. Why learn to listen to people who are trying make you down with your serious in particular interest? Garry Friendman as NASA engineers he never complaint his work as Engineers and keep on make his project done in his early age of 20. I very respect him the way he judge my picture and sharing same passion in Engineering too. Why I silent almost 2-3 years in photography? I know that is not my expertise. I lean toward Engineering and Entrepreneurship. I'm MMU 10th Executive External Vice President Of Engineering Society. What I learn is helping each other in conduct a Event. Are this call glamour and important??? No!! Is about my passion. Honestly how much you liking your engineering programme? have picture with them?? show me!! Like what Garry Friedman did with his world genius record project. Maybe, I will bow my head. You must a PRO senior. I must learn better than you. Need all my pic prove?? No... I will keep it and frame it. I will tell my junior... Keep it up!! rclxms.gif
Brush up my English? Common!! This is forum.. Not English Class. You want to do literature review go back your office do. cool2.gif

Journey out of gates of University? You teach me social life? Why shall you listen to ANGRY people talking? sweat.gif

Yo, stop the bickering. Both of you. Where's the fun in it? Might as well put your energy into making better pictures. yawn.gif

Moonwalk, for some reason you had chosen to ignore my earlier post directed at you. Perhaps what I said is not acceptable to you? Should I continue to have a conversation with you, then? blink.gif Honestly, posting photos without having to praise your mentors every time will bring you a long way in this forum. I would rather prefer that you share your photos together with how YOU did it, instead of always saying who taught you to do what. You are your own person. Your mentors are there to guide you to become who YOU ARE. I'm actually extremely encouraged and happy to see such strong willed new blood using Sony cameras. We are in need of raw talents like you. But toning down your attitude towards the seniors in this forum thread (whether you like it or not, they are seniors) might give you more mileage and earn you more respect. You are here to share photography in a FORUM. Please do remember that. I am by no means trying to reprimand or warn you (and I am not qualified to do so). Just some friendly advice, which you may or may not want to accept. If you are choosing not to accept, at least let me know, so that I don't have to continue repeating myself over and over again like a broken record. laugh.gif

gouki, i know u want it...

and... wahhh since when who started the fire here? i was shooting galaxy timelapse when my phone so many mail notification... guys cool it off... give me some face leh... before the mod comes in and kick the both of you.

William: you are very rude sometime... or all the time... lol, but only some of us who knows the real u, arent bother with your sarcasm... sooner later newbie also used to it... kakakaka.... but try be gentle a bit lerrr...

moonwalk: if u are still lurking around...
1. using proper english is a form of Respect to other user. using broken english, although you have a proper english education, is disrespect to this english spoken forum. unless you have valid reason of you are not educated under english medium, that, is understandable. but your english got even the chineses guessing a while what you trying to tell. dont just type what come out from your heart... try to put urself in our shoe too smile.gif

2. some people just wanted to see the world burn... people like william... and u know what, u just become what he wanted you to... his FUEL. you been fueling his burning desire to burn the world.
fighting back is not bravery, laughing it off after a insult, is bravery. u could have easily just laugh it off at william's response... that might even break the ice in a good way (that how i did with william...) but you, you are even more sensitive then william, his every reply, u fuel in more fire back at him... and i know, he is laughing off there...

3. i wouldnt say who is senior who is junior. but wisdom counts over seniority. and i dont think u are junior either. u shoot for coming to 3 years, you mix with 'professional' (but it also fuel your ego, not sure you realizes it...) keep praising who who who... then telling some of us your 'theory' of photography, then asking for advise so u can learn, but once people said something that doesnt suit your ear, you just brush them off and plant your own views back to them. its contracting, and obvious. dont you think its funny how you manage to get over half of the people here trying to burn you down? did you even realize it?

a example is Louis Pang, from sabah, an international WPPI judge, the first from asia to won 1st in many catagory, fastest raising WP,... but... lost much respect from western malaysia photographer when conducting workshops in west msia... because in his workshop, he keep praising JoeMcnally non stop, losing himself hidding in joe's shadow. but that was back many years ago. he slowly gain back his ground as WPPI Professional but rebuilding himself again.

4. now you turn your defense on them with the use of 'passion'... do you even know their level of passion in photography? even i feel you are a little kinda, offensive type here rather then humble...

what i see is, you have passion to mix with pro then passion becoming a pro urself. professional is not mean earnin big money or fame with it.... being professional means well verse in knowledge in it. you have a long journey to go....

the main reason why your seniority wont give u any senior respect but treated like a junior even thou you shoot for almost 3 year and lurked here for whole 2 years, is simple. from your picture, your execution, your work, your effort in making the photo are just like a newbie, its no where near 2 years shooting experience... and your 3 years experience or mixing with pro has build up some of your ego, hence when ppl throw in bad comment, u take it too deeply into your heart. edpaul has only shoot for 2 month, maybe he is just naturally gifted, or he just cheat us he shoot for 2 month or actually 2 year or maybe 2 decade hehe.... but he at least, show his photo and simply quote my name, tells a story/lesson for each photo with wisdom msg in each photo.

please stay around a little longer, even you are treated badly,... jimlim going through the same phase as you, but his perseverances to stay and hang around has earn him some respect from the people used to burn him... although sometime he really KEK SI REN with his funny question to us... you already gain my respect because you are the few ppl stood up against william... other usually walks away.

Wah! Crap! What the heck happened??!! I go home for the weekend and all hell broke loose?? Just have to blame my internet connection at home for being down for nearly 2 weeks now! cry.gif cry.gif

edpaul : Ehh? You seemed familiar but then again I might be mistaken....

lwliam : Aiyo... see lah... now you frighten away another newcomer....


Anyway... it all might be too late now but still... I have some advise for moonwalk if you are still here.....

1. Don't go dropping names
You should listen to yourself talk. Every few sentences there's a name that's a somebody in the photography world. Why? Do you really need their credentials so that you can be confident enough in your own pics?

2. Listen without prejudice
Different people have different ways of getting the message across. We need to be objective and see what's the real content. If there's truth in those content then we should acknowledge them.

You know, you are not entirely blameless in this whole flame fest. Everytime someone comments that your pics need more attention, you would reply with something like : "Sifu so and so told me that's the way it should be so that how my pic is!"

To be honest, that's kinda rude.


Well, I better stop my 'uncle rants' ler.. hahahaha...


Who got event to join? Please let me know lar... I am turning into a rock at home ler... no internet connection and no event to shoot... cry.gif

guys, moonwalk is not a newbie la... he at least has shot for about 2 years, more experience then me... but why you all keep calling new? he just a little overexcited that he meet great sifu.. like i how i meet ieR~ must understand we sometimes get distracted by excitement that we forgotten our basic photography purpose or technique. and most of the time, sentimental value clouded our judgement... some photo will means a lot to us, memory, impact, although the photo look like a piece of shit in other Pro Photographer.... there are also masterpiece that highly credit by Pro Photographer but then, due to its has no relationship with us... we condemn it. and this apply both ways.

moonwalk shown us some of his valuable photo, may means nothing to us....
moonwalk also talks bout great masters and how they impact his life, which has no meaning to us also...

i hope everyone gets my point, moonwalk you too... lets learn to be humble too, its partly your own fault when u start replying william.... u should have just be nice and brush it off instead of shooting him back. lets put down out ego and enjoy photography

everyone dont angry, smile more~ i spam one peaceful photo, Sand and Caves...

this shooting need to purposely to do setup. the setup is like this:

1. kiwi fruit place on the top of a piece of glass
2. the glass plate is elevated to have some room underneath it
3. bottom of the glas plate should have flash (is up to your preference to bounce or direct fire to the kiwi, if flash bounce then require reflector at ground)
4. as i shoot in a room that pretty dark, i have another light fire from top.
(the rest tune the setting until get what you desired)

p/s: i notice to obtain the greenish color will be subjective as you camera shooting from top to the subject distance. every distance change (in cm) tend to change the color as more light enter your camera, you need to check aperture to compenste back to obtain the greenish you want. Btw i only shoot in manual flash mode. hope it help you.

1. kiwi fruit place on the top of a piece of glass
2. the glass plate is elevated to have some room underneath it
3. bottom of the glas plate should have flash (is up to your preference to bounce or direct fire to the kiwi, if flash bounce then require reflector at ground)
4. as i shoot in a room that pretty dark, i have another light fire from top.
(the rest tune the setting until get what you desired)

p/s: i notice to obtain the greenish color will be subjective as you camera shooting from top to the subject distance. every distance change (in cm) tend to change the color as more light enter your camera, you need to check aperture to compenste back to obtain the greenish you want. Btw i only shoot in manual flash mode. hope it help you.
*
Thanks so much for the guide.
Lastly i get the idea how to shoot this.
But now I dont have flash yet. (save money for traveling sweat.gif )
Is it possible if i use other light source to replace flash underneath the glass?
For example a table lamp?
And another table lamp from top, possible?

Decent?! You call the 35mm f1.4G bokeh as DECENT?!! Wah!! What will you call a good bokeh then? STF lens is not applicable.. LOL!

Then again 35mm is not wide in my books.

All my gear lust is gone for now. Haven't really had any decent shoots for a while now... blame partly on Diablo III and partly on a bad streak of luck in life. My son has just been recently discharged from hospital. The bill took away a Zeiss 24mm f2.0 SSM... cry.gif

Hehehe.... the 35G is not known to be an excellent all-rounder lens by most people because they expect it to be extremely sharp with wonderful bokeh. It achieved the latter but not the former. Only the STF was able to achieve both, but at the expense of autofocus.

Anyway, I wish your son a speedy recovery. It is not easy being a father. I am coming to terms with this because I am now a father too. Have to balance between work, family and photography (and in your case, worse. gaming too! laugh.gif ) Hopefully when your son grows up, he will earn enough money to buy you at least a few Zeiss 24mm F2! biggrin.gif

Thanks for your concern. He's ok now. Back to his mischievous old self. Well, I'm lucky Diablo III is not such a good game. Helps to cut down playing time. Now feel a bit bored playing ady... Dun think I want to start playing any other games. Haha.

You know, I would give up all the Zeiss lens just to see him smiling and healthy. I bet you would do the same too! biggrin.gif

I'm sure in time my gear lust will return... now looking forward to 3rd week of August for Animagaki. Codyx promised to give me a tour and shoot lots of cosplayers!! rclxms.gif

Yeah, I would give up everything to see my kid face palm me, or hit me on my cheeks when I'm holding him. Hahaha.... priceless. There me go all sentimental about fatherhood. tongue.gif Better snap out of it. This is a photography thread, not a parenting thread! laugh.gif

An impromptu "job" I had to do because I was asked by my friend to do some promotional shoot for his car magazine here in Sabah. It was in conjunction with one of the model search competition. Basically I have to cover two things. One is the visit to the Honda showroom by the contestants, and the other is the photos for an upcoming Honda advertisement / article that is going to be featured in my friend's magazine. Quickly go home to pick up my camera. And here is a teaser photo. Sorry, only screen shots of my laptop's LCD, as I cannot show the proper photo yet. Publication agreement, obviously. Lifted off my facebook page directly.

One thing good about Sony's cameras (BOTH the DSLT & Nex systems), if you have a very involving client, your client can peep right over your shoulder and see what you are shooting. And your final captured photo is 95% accurate! He will be happier with the result in a much shorter period of time! thumbup.gif And I shot the entire session using just the SEL1855 kitty lens.... cool2.gif

shocking.gif should stay away from you....
haha,, the show is awesome..
may i know how far away you from the insect using sp90?
I am quite afraid of bugs, unless the static one, i dare not get near.. sweat.gif

I see you use flash right?
about the flash, as i just want to try out,
using internal flash, i found out that:
1) at A and S mode, when internal flash pop up, the shutter speed come to 1/60
2) at M mode, it can goes up to 1/160

will the speed increase using external flash? discover this when taking macro where
light is dim, and want to increase shutter speed to reduce blurr..

The Samyang 8mm F3.5 for E-mount is manual-focus; there is a video-friendly version with stepless aperture and a gear track on the focus and aperture rings!

Geek, nice start! Try opt for a larger aperture size (smaller f-number) to get the background to melt away into a dreamy goo. It makes the background less distracting as well.

If age is unknown then I would suggest that you skip it. The f56 is at least 4 years old if not more. Top up your budget for another 200 bucks and you could get a new f43 with swivel head action!

Buying used flash is risky because:

1. You do not know how heavily the flash has been used. The bulb might be close to expiring.
2. Old flash units will affect the WB as flash tends to turn warmer the older they get.

Unless you are buying the flash to use for wireless and not as your main flash, I would suggest people to buy a new unit.

btw, i shooting this under big sun (it was a sunny afternoon)...
if i push the aperture to wide open, my super fast shutter speed will affect the picture quality?
my ISO is only set at 100... i still found flash with diffuser is needed in order to show the inner deep middle part of the flower...
maybe sunny day really not suitable to take photo yawn.gif

Maybe you can try without flash, open up your aperture larger, and either shoot in RAW or use DRO level 3 to save the shadows.

Geek, contrast is... errr -.- not shooting setting, more of image processing setting. the differences in tone, ur pic just lack of toning. put a little more tone, the image will pop.

well it is up to you... do you need the weather seal, 24MP, 12 FPS (24MP)...
you need to take note that the 16MP sensor is much mature, but there is some thing like 12 FPS (8MP) only...
others extra feature like soft focus and Clear Zoom 2X zoom with minimal pixel lost...

Comparison of A57, 65 and 77...

i think you play with it at the shop then you can make the decision easier.... smile.gif

jimlim, overexposed for shots 3, 4, 5 and 6.

boost up contrast as mentioned and add a touch of vibrance would easily fix the photos.

wan to ask, since its sony DSLR specific i'll ask in this thread instead...

Currently using a A-100 camera with 55-300mm lens. Which sony camera body is a natural upgrade for the purpose of birdwatching? Plan to use back the A100 lens.

Am currently looking at A77, but looking for 2nd opinion.

No, unless your F43 has the same receiver that is attached to the softbox. Your F43 will only fire wirelessly via the Sony protocol if you have your pop up flash activated or have a master flash attached firing from your A57 (ie. F58, another F43)

hmm... how to make F43 be a receiver which is will fire together with softboxes? you mean f43 will only fire in wireless mode when pop up flash was used? anyway to make f43 attach on body, but when fire, f43 (hot shoe attached) or wireless (with pop up flash) will fire with other softboxes (which is transmitter use pc sync port -jackport)? i notice when i was use manual pop up flash, it has 250 max. sync speed.

> I am assuming that you will have a transmitter attached on your camera now, you need to have the same type receiver you are using on the softbox attached on the F43 as well. another words, softbox got a receiver, F43 another receiver.

you mean f43 will only fire in wireless mode when pop up flash was used?

> pop up flash, sync cable "not wireless, but off-camera" (example), another F43 or F58 set as master and the wireless F43 set as slave.

William, your answer makes perfect sense. The pop-up flash wouldn't fire if a transmitter is attached to the camera hotshoe. Thanks.

so far my fren told me "1 cent you pay extra, u get more extra in quality"...  hmm.gif
*
Yes, chinese call it "1 sen of money is worth 1 sen of quality" (or something like that lah), meaning you pay for what you get. Except for some unscrupulous sellers who sell cheap filters at exorbitant prices.....

But having said that, it also depends on what lenses you want to put the filters on. If it is a relatively cheap lens (e.g. the SAL1855SAM kitlens), then you might not want to invest too much money on a filter, because if the lens is scratched, you probably can get a 2nd hand replacement lens for slightly more than a good quality filter. So the choice is really not entirely a straight forward decision. Of course, if you have a RM6000 lens, you will want to spend for some top quality filters to avoid damage to that expensive lens....

the impressive thing bout the photo is using UWA and middle of the street (busy street)... a killer composition that requires effort to grab (and tremendous luck not caught by police since UK every little corner is covered by CCTV) biggrin.gif

I was asked to shoot a set of photos of some of the participants for the Zens Supermodel Search contestants as they visit the Honda Showroom because Honda is one of the sponsors for this event. I'm covering this for a local car magazine in Sabah, called Borneo Tuner.

So Nikon's came up with a new NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens for their Nikon 1 series, their older kit lens the NIKKOR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6... said to be smaller and lighter only. Pretty pointless I might say...

Why not try portrait orientation taken with the reflection of the subject on the floor as well? The cameraman behind the pillar is quite distracting to me.

The cameraman in the background is quite distracting? That's the understatement of the year! It's like a freaking pink elephant in the room! Once you see that, you cannot 'unsee' it.

My opinion is that the cameraman really RUINED the whole shot. Sorry about that but that how I felt.

arg, weekend again, thread sink again tongue.gif

okay, here are some questions about my last 2 days found one of the diffuser item for flash gun - gary fong lightsphere. I check the price over shinsinki seem it is not a cheap stuff for a simple plastic, having to say so a diffuser is pricing rm260 and pro kit is >rm650. understand the price so high is his own invention, by judging the before & after photo use lightsphere, it gave nice effect and it is seem very fit to me (noob-did know when need to rotate/adjust the flash bounce) as the flash just need always face up to ceiling.

But does anyone have REAL experience of lightsphere diffuser in alpha flash? does this product worth for its price? someone hinted lightsphere is rely on the ceiling, but does this work for MOST of msia building ceiling (haha noob question), speak of imitation, anyone other brand give similar result but even more cheaper? I check at Dpreview, someone mentioned lambercy...

also, does anyone use GF powersnoot as well, doing homework up front and calculating needed funding smile.gif least and not last, thank in advanved! notworthy.gif

Definitely not worth it. All the sample shots for all diffusers out there looks perfect. For that amount of money? Hmm. I'd rather get a studio softbox. I have a Demb diffuser pro. Quite expensive also, but I got mine at a cheap price.

jimlim, not worth it. the experience you learn from using the bounce shift, is more worth then that rm6xx/3xx.

summore, any diffuser design (except demb diffusor) will eat up several stops of light. meaning, normal bounce use 1/4 power to light up the subject 8 meter away, but with GFLS will take up 1/1 power(2 stop)! that makes flash cycle slower! and takes up more power, and the design that wrap around the flash head makes Overheating Easier. even stofen will taken bout 1 stop.

so in the end. Learn How to Use Bounce properly.

for condition without Ceiling, u can use Wall bounce technique, or the built in bounce card is More Then Enough. or Demb diffuser (imitate of larger bouncer card) is another good alternative. i think most ppl with experience will agree with this.

Absolutely agree with ieR's statement.

Anyway I used to DIY own bounce card. Works perfectly as I wanted it to. Also acts as a white/18%grey card as well when needed (double sided surface). But eventually phased out from using it, now if I need, I just use the built in bounce card.

your point make sense. but sound like using demb diffuser is require pro skill, its seem more complicated sweat.gif put in another example, common user use AF lens, Pro use MF lens tongue.gif I am think when use bounce card, how do we know how many degree need to bend to get desire light, in fact we are not even know how many degree (angle) of the current card setup. we just can guess roughly thru the experience, i think this is the only downsize that need skill to compensate it hmm.gif typically, how long you guy master of it?

Who say pro will use MF? If you know your physics, incident light angle is equals to reflected light angle. So angle of bounce can be estimated.

Jimlim... honestly... the angle of bounce thing. is a CHILD play.

give me 10 minute to draw.


Added on August 13, 2012, 12:39 am
Jimlim, are you familiar with a "Bouncing Ball" law of gravity/bounce (if such law existed)... when u throw a ball off, 90degree down, the ball bounce back 90degree right? so u if throw is 120 degree down, it will bounce 120 degree back up (it Wont bounce 90degree, dont say spinning ball laaa)...

the logic apply to BOUNCE. so here you go with a lapsap cheatsheet from me.... sweat.gif

if you look properly, u notice that, where ever ur subject is, u always bounce right in (directly) middle of between u and subject? see the idea? mad.gif

YES, IT IS THAT SIMPLE. period. all you need is bounce right in the middle of between u and subject. flex.gif

you dont need to be PRO to learn. you need to be PRO to teach tongue.gif so what so special about the skill to adjust the angle? shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif


Added on August 13, 2012, 12:48 amBTW, the gary fong cheat sheet is not good... why? because it doesnt show u other distant u need... it show a fixed distant... impossible u need to stay at that shooting distance fixed bah, and that is just close up of the face, u will notice they dont show the body because of the design, the light that reach below the 'flash's height' is like only 20%, so u get under exposed body, but 'so called' nice face shadow... there is a lot things u would know and easily manipulate by marketing gimmicks... and, well if i am marketing officer for gary, i can make even better marketing sheet! i can convince you not only buy 1 but buys 2 in 10 sec after reading. its a "EASY" job to manipulate ppl la. just hide all the weakness, blast out all the nice things.

Agreed with ieR. No need to spend so much money buying diffusers. I hardly use anything other than the built-in bounce card on my F58 flash.

- Big diffusers are a pain to carry around. They are bulky and you will have a hard time trying to fit them in your bag.

- They are a pain to setup, especially for the demb. So many separate parts and you need to flip here, flip there and if you're in a hurry, you can kiss your photo op goodbye if you fiddle with your diffuser.

- If the ceiling is low enough to bounce, then bounce works just a well. If the ceiling is too high for bounce, then diffusers also lose their effectiveness. They do depend on bounced light too.

Just my thoughts.
