haha..yeah i noe both r great..bt better save them for somethin else ma..

if i were you i will get 35mm instead of 50mm, then you got the 17-55 2.8 right? that lens also good what got VR and constant aperture, you only lose 1 stop of light while your ISO and VR + slow shutter speed can compensate with that

yeah correct bt bokeh difference btween 1.8 n 2.8 quite a lot too..

dont always bokeh bokeh only, small aperture can take dramatic potraiture too

are you from kuala lumpur?
nikon club malaysia told me that they have outing to cater for the users but surprisingly, the kl users couldn't be bothered about it. i think they rather spend time online talking gears or lepak in a shopping centre or lepak in a car getting stuck in a traffic jam.

whereas for other states like kedah, terengganu and kelantan and even penang, the crowd could be overwhelming at times...

do check out nikon club malaysia's website. they organise workshops and outing frequently

those outing nice ar? i see photogs to model ratio is like 2323534645342:1

maybe picture sharpness? bt doesnt matter cz it's so cheap.
why not just shoot flash direct towards the reflector? (dno work or not la haha)
*
then you will be wasting your battery power

QUOTE(Silverfire @ Jul 26 2013, 07:44 PM)
No AF? laugh.gif
It works but its not as soft as you would get shooting through an umbrella.
*
why ar? but i see the fabric is quite close to umbrella hmm.gif

is it because of the shape?

i figured out one thing, if we tie up the flash gun at car number plate, put it in slave mode (in nissin is called digital TTL slave i dno bout others), then when AES fire flash, this flash will oso fire. so cant see our number plate d mah cz overexposed..lol! sweat.gif
*
your flash will get stolen in no time

and how do you mount it? the vibration from the car can probably kill the flash

best method is to install a retractable cover that can cover your number plate when you approach AES, and you can trigger the cover by manually pressing a switch inside the car, so far i dont see anyone offer this kind of service and no one did this

best way to avoid AES is dont use that particular road or just driver slower la

Lol..i just randomly thought of it when i first saw the AES..at night oso functioning one =,=

the AES in jalan ipoh sometime flashes for no reason somemore doh.gif

you can just spray black paint to the lens then it wont function anymore, but make sure that is no other CCTV monitoring the AES when you do it

some pros do shoot it to the reflector..it acts like a wall..
*
you need to be very near la if you are using shoot through setup since it cannot gather like as good as umbrella due to its shape

If you trying to overcome the sunlight... not sufficient power, most likely required those portable strobes.
*
if let's say it is not outside sunlight but indoor no window with tungsten light like ballroom?

QUOTE(f5calvin @ Jul 27 2013, 10:42 AM)
not shoot through..i mean the flash will hit the reflector, then reflector reflects light back to the subject.
portable strobes? wat is that?
*
i did that before, it take a lot of trying to get the angle of reflection right, and of course you need more power to bounce it off the reflector (silver/gold side), IMO it is good if you want to reduce the area the flash hit but depends on your reflector shape and size i guess

Ive watched that video too... Actually both 24-70 and 50 prime are on my list... But i plan to go for 24-70 first...

i dont think you will need that 50mm after you get 24-70, unless it is 50mm 1.4g

Wah, plenty of space for prawns photos haha~
Just kiddin!
Well, like they say, once you go SSD, there is no turning back  brows.gif
Buy cheap netbook for torrenting, save electricity, no lights, eco "friendly"  laugh.gif
I have a 24-70 and a 50 F1.8.
Although the 24-70 is a really good lens, it sure is heavy haha. Don't say I no warn you  tongue.gif
When you already have the 24-70, then there's no real need for the 50 F1.8 already, better use that money for a 85mm F1.8 instead brows.gif

i'm not using SSD, too expensive for me

still staying with my desktop running on core i5, 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD + 500GB 2.5" 5400RPM laptop HDD, GTX 560Ti, and of course my 31" LCD TV

Laptop is Sager NP8662, 500GB HDD, laptop running 24/7 for torrenting and download

desktop mainly for gaming, video and pictures viewing/editing

No worries, you could always throw in an SSD when budget allows. The performance gained is really phenomenal, try to believe  brows.gif
Woah.... I don't know much about desktops, but looks really powerful haha
Your "lights" = different level already haha... I thought you were referring to normal keyboard backlits tongue.gif
After using FF for some time, I think its better to have a mirrorless for not-so-important-stuffs haha... back pain like hell  tongue.gif
No rush, take it slow and slowly save money (and your back) XD

Very attractive eyes, I love cats, but dunno where can I find  good-looking ones (apart from the two that keep on making prawns near my house which is too far away for me to photograph XD)
Eh, I though cat eyes are round in dark areas only?  tongue.gif

in dark area their eyes will be glowing, the roundness is depends on the breed of the cat
