I think I'm a bit too obsessed with bokeh lately haha, mustt.... stooppp.... Everything is so expensive haha

Thank bro, its just a lucky shot be honest, I have no idea what I was doing then haha
I noticed that the techniques thought on youtube are not really suitable for our skin tones haha...

Flash photography can be really fun and exciting after you get the hang of it Definitely good to learn~

1. When indoors, a flash works best when bounced off surfaces of a wall/ceiling that will soften up the light. Can take a look at this video here:

Around 1.18-1.27. Its one of the best photography tutorials on the fundamentals of photography- light. I really improved alot after watching it haha, its a one hour plus video though, and the photographer is insanely creative and talented

2. I use AWB and shoot in RAW haha. You can adjust the WB in post processing but I usually never touched them @_@

3. The shot was taken with the flash on the D90 body, shooting upwards. I prefer shooting in manual since I don't really trust/understand how TTL works lol... Still, at the end of the day, off-flash is always better if its a "controlled" shot (even so if you are using a Nikon body with commander mode and also a flash that supports wireless control [forgot the name already ])~

The techniques in youtube usually cater for angmo skin nia. They want more tan while we want less

Our skin has more yellow/orange in it, can correct for this by raising the luminescence or adjusting the saturation of the color channel.

before this all my images taken with onbody flash really ill watch the video when home.. now in office youtube block

slowly la, start with TTL first

thanks for the advice

So at the end of the day its better to learn from tutorials/guides made by Taiwanese/Japanese or anywhere around Asia haha

Ehh bro you D800 also diff level stuff sial

if given a chance, would you guys be interested to join in 1 of the filming of Nikon web episode?

of coz this will not be a paid job or something, its for you to join in and have fun if you wishes. credits will be given at the end of the video.

The videos will be released here at http://www.youtube.com/user/NikonMsia and Nikon Malaysia official FB.

Wanna ask you guys, I was thinking of buying camera, and was considering either d3200 or d5100. Budget is about 2k+/- and I'm just a beginner. Any suggestion?

D5100, cheaper option

I thought 5100 is more expensive? O.o

depend on what I intend to do with the camera, if I need more video options, the D3200 is the one.

The D5100 is better with 1/3 ISO increment, and more small small, not so frequently used touch/features in menu and etc.

Both camera equally take good pictures.

Don't think I'll use it to take videos. In case I missed out, is there other options?

best of the both camera and something extra, D5200 lol
