i thought the last KL one had 300 ppl or so going?
i didnt go cos they started it at the ungodly hour of 8am tongue.gif

plus it was like 95% jantan shooting at some model wannabes...damn boring.

maybe u or azrul can bring out ur medium formats / TS lenses and show ppl how to shoot architecture stuff around KL...
*
Agreed. every time sees event, shoot model only, so most of the time i skip.

maybe can brainstorm here to make it more interesting.

Nikon club can do a showcase or demonstration for the following setup:

J1 or V1 + those super long lens or with extension tube.

im sure a lot of ppl will show up to look at the beast.

For security reason, if cannot go far, just do it @ Nikon center


imo, just do some weird or exotic setup that even Nikon rumours will pick up, it will be good publicity.

Hi all,

Wanna share with you my original speech crafted for a humorous speech contest, titled "Camera Buying Tips from a Nikon Man"

QUOTE
Camera Buying Tips from a Nikon Man

Contest chair, fellow judges, ladies and gentleman

This is the story about Ah Lian.
______________________________________________________________________

Ah Lian wanted to buy a camera.

So, Ah Lian visit the camera shop where his friend Ah Beng works as a sales person.

She asked Ah Beng for advice.

“Ah Beng, Ah Beng, I want to learn photography, should I buy Canon Camera?”

Ah Beng replied: hmm, unless you want to always shoot in the dark, else don’t buy canon.

Ah Lian asked: Why?

Ah Beng: To learn photography, we must first understand what does the word Photography means. In Greek, it means – Drawing with light.

What is Canon promotional tag line? Canon Delighting you always.

De-Lighting

  No light how to take photograph?
_______________________________________________________________________

Then Ah Lian asked again: Ah Beng Ah Beng. What brand you recommend then?

Ah Beng: You know Usain Bolt? The 100m Olympic champion and fastest man in the world?

Usain shoot and posed with Nikon camera instead of Canon after the 100m race finished in the recent Olympics.

Ah Lian: So Ah Beng, you recommend me to buy Nikon?

Ah Beng: Ah Lian, any people with a right frame of mind will buy Nikon camera, instead of Canon.

Ah Lian asked: Why?

Ah Beng: Because:

  If Usain use Nikon
  If U sane use Nikon
  In sane people use Canon

 

sane/sān/
Adjective: 1. (of a person) Of sound mind; not mad or mentally ill: "hard work kept me sane".

___________________________________________________________________________


Ah Lian then decided to listen to Ah Beng advice and opt for a Nikon Point and Shoot camera

Ah Lian said: Ah Beng, what is the best price ah?

Ah Beng replied: This is the best price already, cant further best, instead I’m gonna give you 4 free gifts.

“I’ll give you a free memory card, a free battery, a free camera pouch and a special free gift after you buy from us.”

Ah Lian satisfied with the offer and decided to go on with the purchase.

After payment, Ah Lian asked Ah beng:

“Where is the special free gift that you promised?”

Ah Lun answered:

“Here you go, FREE plastic bag and DELIVERY”
_____________________________________________________

Ah Lian went home and find difficulties using the camera.

Ah Lian called ah Beng

“Ah Beng Ah Beng, I dunno how to use the camera”

Ah Beng replied: “Just Point, and Shoot loh, its easy.”

Ah Lian: “How?”

“You shoot photo by gently pressing the shutter button.”

So I just point and press? Then why its call Point and shoot when its point and press?

Ah Beng replied: “Photography is an Art, it’s about embracing our artistry mind without holding back.”

Ah Lian: “Then what it had to do with Point and Press?

Ah Beng: ““This had to do with Man Ego when they go to toilet or doing other stuffs” (Grinn)

Because when they shoot, they don’t holdback, but when they press, they will hold back”

Repeat

“When they shoot, they don’t holdback, but when they press, they will hold back”

“This is similar to photography”

“Photography is about art without holding back. In order to embrace the artistry mind without holding back, those photography people called it Point and Shoot instead of Point and press”
_____________________________________________________________________________

Now let me summarise, the 4 Camera Buying Tips from a Nikon Man.

1. Do not buy Canon camera, because “Canon De-lighting you Always
2. Do not buy Canon camera, because “In-sane people buy canon, U sane buy Nikon
3. Always ask for
best price and free gifts
4. Embrace your artistry mind without holding back by buying a “point and shoot” camera.

With that I would like the end my presentation.

hi guys, wanna get my first lens other than the d3200 kit lens.

question is if fx lens is put onto my d3200 would the picture and viewfinder look as if it is 1.5x?

like 50mm would become 75mm?

planning to get 50mm f1.8G which cost around 798 at nikon website. any recommendation i can get cheaper on other place?

planning to get my potrait lens

Where u? KL? Penang? JB? or others?

If KL, can go to the shop at pertama, should be able to get around RM650

Monkey

Edit:

Dont know whether u do it purposely or not, Leaves on both side constitute framing to the subject.

Exposure and sharpness dont want to comment.

Monkey too center, leaf in the middle a bit distracting.

Edit: Im selling 16-35 F4 and D5100 body only, let me know if you interested
