Bokeh effects!!! drool.gif  drool.gif  drool.gif

How to make those effects??
*
many ways to do so..cheapest to most expensive ways..
1) bring ur lens as close as possible to subject.
2)get a bigger aperture lens..
3) get a FF body~

Hi fellows,
I have one friend would like to get himself a dslr but now he has trouble on choosing either nikon model or canon model...his budget is about 2.5k any good suggestion?
*
if nikon, get d90 with 18-105 kit lens..will cost around 2.6k
i dun quite recommend d3200..bcz no body motor..

if canon get the Canon EOS 600D (18-135MM)=RM2700
or Canon EOS 550D Kit EFS 18-135 = RM2570

p/s: i find 18-105 and 18-135 lens very convenient compared to 18-55 lens as i don't need to go near to get tighter images..

bt it's oni my opinion lar..

Yes, agreed. 18-105 / 18-135 lens is better than 18-55 in terms of quality also?

if you are comparing between Nikon's 18-105/18-135/15-55, then no
if comparing between Nikon & Canon then different case
*
well, actually not much quality difference.. it's not prime lens..

Need some advise from the group..

I need to look for a digicam around RM1500 for my sis... she travels a lot and her old digicam ( Olympus ) was faulty after more than a year usage... she loves the many scenes mode from the Olympus ... but when I look at Nikon range of digicam... OMG... so many models/shapes an sizes... how to choose.... ???

I recommend her the J1/J2 for better image quality than most digicam but I'm not so sure as I've not used a mirrorless digicam b4...

i think canon S100 is good.. cost around 1.3k..n it's so slim n light n convenient compared to j1

The above quote is my problem posted last week

I notice this problem again when doing Christmas shooting on yesterday.....all focus points produced blur photo except the middle focus point cry.gif
I was pointing my focus point on the face....but cant get sharp face!

I want to do some test to see whether is my lens problem, or is my D90 body problem, or is my hand problem?

Any testing method?
*
try to shoot using live view..

to test if ur lens is sharp, use middle focus point, lock ur AF on subject, then frame the subject to edge of the frame..if image is nt sharp, then perhaps is the 50mm fault..

I don't understand....means i put my subject in the middle and select middle focus point and shoot? (yes, it is sharp)

"then frame the subject to edge of the frame" means put the subject at the most left/ right hand side of the viewfinder and use the focusing point at the outermost? (I notice it blur)
*
nono..hw to say leh..u use middle focus point, then press halfway until it focuses, then shft ur camera to left/right until the person is at the edge of ur frame, then fully click ur shutter. oh ya btw use single AF point, AF-S

I normally use AF-A mode wor...duno what is the difference. Oh, pre-focus....will heard beep sound....then if shift position then your subject sure blur lo since the focusing point is at the middle?

[Just now I tried ad using kit lens, 3D tracking mode will track back....if using single point mode...subject and middle area will blur also after shifting?]

Btw, what should be the correct results? What is the bad result that showing my lens got problem?
*
dno how to explain..since i oso new in photography..
