dagg3r bro.... so many gal u shoot ohh... nice nice...

yr butterfly shoot also using the close up filter?? not bad ohh...

some ler... some just pure 50mm only. Now i need to shoot a few times of a same pic... with different apertures... Clemeng_888, I will show u some results, thanks for pointing out.

Need some help here. When it says,
"The reduction of aperture by 2 to 3 steps is recommended."
means what ar?

Any sifus to teach teach about aperture steppings?

wat mode are u shooting in?
if ur shooting in Aperture Priority mode, then u can control the aperture value by rotating the sub-command dial, increase or decrease aperture value.
e.g f2.8 for shallower DOF/lowl f number/big aperture opening;
f10 for greater DOF/high f number/smaller aperture opening.

Small apertures (high f/-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing both the main subject and background into focus. Large apertures (low f/-numbers) soften background details.

my 2cents.

that doesnt answer what I am looking for. sorry.
I am trying to use a close up lense... But it states that
"The reduction of aperture by 2 to 3 steps is recommended."
if I am using it with my current lense. What does it means? bringing the aperture smaller/bigger? 1 step is qual to how many points in F value?

That's what I am looking for

lol
sorry.. i noob in dslr
only got a film slr wif manual focus hahah

i think u were searching for this?

Since depth of field is extremely shallow in close-up photography, the lens aperture should be stopped down between small apeture numbers like F8 and F11 to obtain maximum sharpness guar lol

luan luan spam XD

ahhh, that's what I am looking for. Thanks 8431! I will try it out tomorrow morning on the flowers in my house's garden.

dragger dai lou...nice pic.............
#5,6, u used closeup filter +3? very nice...

the dragonfly...geng....
haha...u spy cam so many leng lui.... like all ur ppl shot...

hey aaron, thanks. Yeap used the +3 close up filter. I think the aperture is out. Pointed out by other LYN members. I will be testing out new aperture setting with that close up lense. But I love the effects....

p/s: the 2 edited shots of the people was taught by Piew... Thanks brotha!
