Only high end studios have a real reason to get this lah. Otherwise you can buy this to whack people also

Even wildlife photogs usually just get one and then use teleconverters if they want more range.

Buy this, the ultimate nikon night shooter for USD8,999

Very soon, they just filed a bunch of patents for 50, 58 and 60(I think) F/1.2 lenses what. But don't expect them to be any cheaper lah. Prolly 4-5K starting price even for the cheapest one.

Nice shot lehh, but I think maybe the skin too orange d?

Normally straight up will do, you can tilt to left and right to change the direction of the "fall" of light, or look for big white wall to "bounce" from.

White balance I go auto, but when you're in a room with tungsten or green lights, be prepared for alot of in PP later because you get different groups of color in wide shots.

See this, front group is white light (flash) while back group is yellow light (ambient).



Power,zoom etc is dependant on your camera settings and also how you use the flash. Ceiling height also a factor.
But for newcomer just use auto ITTL and fire lah. Adjust EV if necessary

Buy 3rd party one lah, 565EX RM400+ only, power is comparable to a SB900/910 which costs more than 3 times more.

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.

Gonna buy a Phottix Mittros soon

Then I can finally have a HSS-capable flash on hand for outdoor shooting.

Lai we buy those studio flash with built in battery

Macam mana baru proper??

Ehh bro you D800 also diff level stuff sial

D5100, cheaper option

Price wise 5100<3200<5200

The 5100 with Kit lens is around 1.5-1.6K only

If your budget can stretch to D3200/5200 territory I'd definitely suggest you take a look at a D7000 instead

Hehe, thanks bro

Yeah, this photo I brainf**k on how to crop in order to get the best composition
No matter how I crop also still got problem, so in the end gave up

Fuiyoh, the eyes really nice after enlarging, good job there mate.

Although myself would've preferred the necklace to be there still, the photo looks too nude without it

I'm not sure how to answer to that

But yeah, the original photo memang already like this out of cam. I just crop downwards into the hair abit only to finish it off.

The skin showing is one thing lah, I keep the necklace there to keep things in balance. Otherwise memang look like totally bogel for some reason

I suka big eyes too

But my subject already "crying" alot because her own contacts irritating her at that time, manage to finish an entire tissue box during the session.

LOL gila, then look like this already

Get the best you can afford la, also keep in mind the advertised speeds are for reading, writing speeds are lower.
