I'm not sure I will keep my 50mm F1.8 haha
Might get a 85mm or 105mm micro instead Wide angle lens will probably come last since I don't really know how to use them

OMGGGGG... almost fell for it

Long time no see bro
When wanna upload your nice photos again ya?

Just curious sifu, what do you guys really do to your photos via Photoshop?
So far I only know how to use spot healing and patch tool... and not to mention generating some very fake sunrays LOL

Very cute, I love it hehe~
Minion craze

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Was chasing the peacock around with my 24-70 lol, limited zoom, very hard to get a good shot
Good exercise though

Thanks for the praise, appreciate it!
Wah, my PC lagged while looking at that giant photo

Good share bro
Some of the points are really funny XD

Luckily most of us still manage to find a gf

Just a wild guess haha XD
Photographers tend to be more creative, so relationships will be much more interesting right? hehe

Eh bro you 27 years old only?!
With the stuffs I see here and in Arts and Design gives me the impression that u are big boss lai lol
Nvm Nvm.. Talented guy sure can find gf one, just try not to be too picky ya Haha XD I understand how photographers and designers tend to be perfectionist Haha

Well, I guess it is more prominent in people who takes superb macro shots that like you sifu haha XD XD Sure took a lot of effort and patience

Anyway Nikon sifus I would like to ask you guys for some advice. I remembered asking this before in the previous thread but I am still kind of not really getting anywhere T___T

My question is how to take good (or at least decent) photos of people in the dark (no place to bounce flash and I don't have tripod/umbrella)? I remembered the sifus recommended applying the in-built bounce card on my SB700 and shoot at full power pointing upwards. The results were acceptable I guess, but still not very good (I'm not denying it might be my skills at fault here haha) so I've made a larger bounce card and developed a very weird way of shooting ever since @_@

For the time being I use a self-made big@ss bounce card I made specifically for my Bali trip

I'm probably doing it inappropriately, or it can be better (cause the bounce card only has a very limited spread of light) and I was wondering whether the kind sifus here can give some advice or suggestions? Does softboxes actually helped in this cases?

Thinking of going to iCity one day, never been there before, might need a proper flash technique there, especially around the light trees based on what I've seen from my friends' photos

Thanks in advance sifus
Sorry for the long message. I'm kind of long-winded T_T

Thanks for the reply sifu! Your recent photos really very nice lei!
Aiya... Want to take better photos for memories ma XD XD

Is this the one rumoured to be coming?

nice, wish to go there to do some night photography
btw, spamming my backyard photo
Wah, backyard also can see this?

You are right bro
It has to be pitch dark... not even lights from faraway buildings or highways...
Need to go to outskirts of town to be able to take a great shot of the milky way... and its usually quite dangerous in Malaysia haha, better to go in at least 4 or more. That's why I never had the chance to take shots like these

Wah, great photo
I love the camouflage feel ~

Rotting at home, so hot T_____T

Wah, what is that spider? LOL
Just read a scientific article saying that macro photographers can actually help with taxonomic work (describing new species of animals/insects) though their photos yo! Since these photographers will have a higher chance of seeing unique organisms through their photoshoots. Keep up the good work guys!

Great link there mate! Thanks for sharing
Actually I am working on DNA technology which can be used to identify new species. The problem is I don't know which ones are new and which ones are "old"
I hope to pick up macro-photography as well in the future. Looks really fun, much easier to find subjects, and benefits my research

Nice shot by the way, I am really scared of worms

gunzerdude hey man, just curious, does that kind of softbox allow proper flash shots on people at night?

Thanks for the input man, much appreciated
I already have an umbrella haha, just that its hard to use it when its only me

Thanks bro
Definitely will need a "victim" to hold the umbrella haha, so not easy to use when I'm going out alone XD
Most of the night shots were slightly blurry since I have to shoot with the 24-70 with one hand only a 35mm prime or VR would be of great benefit


Thanks for sharing, the video could use some better or funnier scripts I guess to make it less monotonous
Not sure about iPhones, but Samsung phones have burst modes starting from the S3 right?
And we haven't see how the Lumia 1020 works yet

Yeah, looks delicious!
