ya, reducing noise is good, but capturing moments sometimes needed higher shutter speeds > higher iso > noise. but will it be that visible? when i first started in photography, i was VERY particular about noise. it makes me stupid as i moved on, i realized that noise's not that crucial unless ur doing commercial/mag/watever that requires the highest level of image quality kind of photography. there's still alot of people wandering on the streets using film and analog. do they care about the grain? not so..because if they do, they'd get a D3s or a D4

if ur shooting events, street, watever type of photography that u cant control the situation, dont be afraid of noise. if the moment is there, then the pictures is good with or without noise.

the picture u said about the noise, i dont notice it in first glance. even after u say it, i took a look again, and i really dont really see such VISIBLE noise. so it looks to me that ur not analyzing the picture, ur analyzing the noise level.

stop obsessing about noise because it somewhat dont really help on improving ur photography. start learning composition, lighting, handling..bla bla

and about the lens, i sell my stuffs cheap2 so if u wan, nid to sms me fast2 n set a time to meet up sorry ya

I am not sure whether that is pixels or noise that why I put a question mark at the behind

That time I have limited budget if not I sure deal with you already ><

Any nice place to buy 50mm ah?

Thanks for lecturing

Hahaha yes it is!! Damn.. =.=" and I'm not feeling well don't want to get caught in the rain! Grrrr

i bought it at digital mall, seksyen 14 PJ, the first shop on the left at the entrance

not lecturing la bro just giving some of my thoughts oni..feel free to disagree

because i have a fren who bought the canon 5d mark 3, his photos = like been taken with a guy who doesnt know photography, uses auto mode all the time. i mean like, seriously needed attention. most of the time, worries about noise, things that is unnecessary. one can buy equipment, loads of expensive equipments, but we can never buy experience.

like i said when i first started i was obsessed with noise, large lenses, large sensors, equipments, but my photos? blehhhhhhhh

so i wud suggest concentrate more on creating that next great photo

highly agree in dark areas / fast moving subjects...we always have to accept one of these things:
1) increased noise due to high ISO
2) shallow depth of field due to high aperture
3) motion blur due to slow shutter speed

(2) and (3) would easily spoil an otherwise great photo. so (1) isn't too bad if the noise is really really bad...convert to black and white lo, kawtim

umm anyone knows how much a external flash cost roughly? Planning to get a flash for night time shooting XD

I got my sb 700 for rm1k I think

And sb910 for rm 16xx

Which model that you need?
new SB900 (discontinued): RM1.3k;
new SB910: RM1.5k
new SB700: RM 1k

umm what is the different between them.. but i heard sb 700 now become cheaper already XD

sb700 is a good flash for first time users. very simple to use since all the buttons are on the flash itself.

sb900/910 are very big very powerful flashes. alot more tech inside also

essentially both are still flashes, buy according to what u need and ur budget. if u google pun all u will get are the specs list, i suggest s ticking to a sb700, more then enuff for u.

yes that was my first thought too...



My first day time picture XD

how about sb-600? discontinue ady?? lol.. what about 3rd party flashes?

anyway. spam for today.. was playing around w post processing
