It's proof of the improving ergonomics of their enthusiast cameras, maybe my next upgrade in a couple years would be a D400 if Nikon ever decides to release one

Aiya, ergonomics are important la, allows you to shoot longer what.
I have to handhold the camera for long periods of time when I shoot macro, so it's definitely a plus point for me when a camera fits like a glove

I have the 11-16 which I'm borrowing from my cousin atm, but no chance to fully utilize it yet, since I'm stuck at home with assignments

Mine's a cabinet, not a box LOL.

is there a reason why you need to use a wide angle for this photo?
was there a monsoon drain right behind you or something?

my fav lens now is the 800mm f/5.6.
but of cos if i do that, then my fav sleeping place will be under jambatan sungei klang...

hahaha thats nice one also


This is one of my dream cars.. hahahaha looooooooooong nose celica

wah so long. lol.

It's the perspective I'm after dude.

Granted, this was taken with a 17-50 @ 17mm, still not wide enough as I wanted more of the scene in the photo.

All the car pics xD, here's one with telephoto lens instead for comparison between wide angle vs telephoto.

LOL awsome lighting, that back spotlight is a flash right?

For my shot I wanted to include as much of the background while still keeping my subjects as large as possible in the photo.

Which is why I used a wide focal length of 17mm, and I'll gladly go wider since there's so much more going on behind that I couldn't capture

Yeap, its a flash behind... should have hidden that one instead. Here's one without flash at the back,

ermm, step 2 steps back perhaps?

Win lo... hahaha appears in every version of nikon thread wei..

Fuhh, the quality..... Dunno how many more years I need to achieve something like this



If i take 2 steps back, yes I'll get more of the background, but my subjects become smaller right?

use a wider angle and your subject will get smaller too hahahahaa

Not if I take two steps foward LOL

Give it a try with any zoom lens and see, it's possible to maintain the apparent size of the subject in the photo while including or excluding the background depending on the focal length you use.

[Edit] Here's an example of what i'm talking about
