Nice nice much better than your 1st few flower pictures hehe! At least the background is not distracting! But I would like the front flower to be fully focused instead of just the middle n the tip is blur

but this is just my opinion hehe biggrin.gif

Keep it up!

uhm I personally was mentored by Eiffel! Great guy friendly and get to learn alot! biggrin.gif

I only started photography a year ago!

Price wise I think its one of the better ones!

Ie. I've tried foreign sifus such as rocco ancora(wedding) and bambi cantrell(wedding) those are like 4 digits for 2 days @@

Locals such as che ahmad(street), patrick low(wedding), peter m(wedding) etc goes around 4-500? for 1-2 days?

Our local Ming Thein also charges close to RM1k for his workshops!

Good tips! Nice sharing! We all have alot to learn from you too tongue.gif


QUOTE(Tony Stark @ Dec 27 2012, 01:40 AM)
this one very gud tips.

practice alot - go anywhere shoot, when u boring2 take ur camera shoot anything in ur house, learn about ur gears, lighting, composition, settings, try and error (lots of this), try different lighting conditions, and yes, like bro razu said..the more u shoot, the more u gain experience, that's a natural learning environment laugh.gif

if one read alot, go to alot of classes, buy alot of expensive gears, but never really practice what he/she has learned from the class, never take his own sweet time to understand those expensive gears, no point loh tongue.gif

practice. i always believe in it thumbup.gif

Hehe what I believe is

Through experience we all learn through our actions and own mistakes

by reading books or going classes we learn from other people's mistakes so that we can avoid the same mistake in the future

either way we are all learning, just hope not to repeat the same mistake again biggrin.gif

DX images might be sharper due to the fact that the centre of the lens is sharper than its corners and since DX sensors are smaller they only use the centre unlike FX which covers everything!

guys, forgive my ignorance but i have a super noob question to ask.

i own the sb600/700/900/910 - but i NEVER know about this TTL BL

i read about it and its about balancing the ambient light and the flash output..right?

but it seems that most of the time, its giving me underexpose results. (just to note that im always on TTL FP rather than TTL BL FP)

so what am i doing wrong? any sifu wanna guide this noob?

thanks!
*
Yoyo good question! Let me share something that I know may be right and may be wrong smile.gif

If its wrong any please do feel free to correct

Yes you are right about TTL-BL (Only on Camera's MATRIX MODE)

What it does is that the camera will calculate the total amount of ISO to get a balance exposure throughout the frame and include the power from the flash for the main subject.
Imagine if your camera ISO wasn't bump up! Anything infront of your camera will be blown out due to the power output of your flash that is why the camera will calculate both ISO and flash output for you.

What TTL-FP(will only be enabled if you put Auto FP on your camera)

What it does is that instead of sync-ing it at 1/200th or 1/250th it enables you to shoot at shutter speed till 1/8000th of a second but like Everdying mentioned it greatly underpower the flash.

I hope I've helped hehe

Eh I think its the other way around! >.<

Im so sorry! I tried shooting with my D800 and SB910!

Got this from Dpreview

"iTTL-BL works very well but it is not designed to be used in a low light situation. It is designed to provide supplementary light to the existing ambient exposure. Use the BF function to fill shadows and reduce the contrast in a shot that you can also get without flash while still getting a properly exposed image. situations where you might use iTTL-BL, A back lit portrait, an interior shot with light streaming in through a window as part of the shot or on a bright sunny day when the eyebrows will create shadows around the eyes like a raccoon."
