Post-processing. It's a digital kind of ND filter, while some people get their filter and put them in front of the glass for instant effect, I have to do it in the computer.

You can get a blue hue gradual filter to make the bluish sky. Put another gradual nd filter to get starry sun. I will get Cokin set for this to get better effect. HDR helps too. Try it.

EDIT: Fail compo is fail composition. The tree is captured in half while I can go back a little and capture the tree nicely.

Check my EXIF, I did it in Lightroom. It may be too hard for beginner, but it's really easier than Photoshop. You can try Photoscape too. Much user friendly.

Pretty good condition. Packed very nicely. Was fortunate I got good sellers. I bought them about 8 years ago. I'm still using these lenses.

i bought lens from ebay before. The lens ship from korea n thailand.
both arrived nicely.
i think at the end it depend to the seller packing skill. always look for those good reputation seller

I have bought lens & camera off ebay. Always check for reputable sellers. check their history and comments from buyers. So far my experience is pretty good la. Only bad experience is from our local POS

Agree, I been doing online business for 5 year, ship over 300++ parcel, at the end its stil depend on how the seller pack the item, at the first 3 month , I do get complain from customer that item break during postage, but that my fault because not packing well, but experience will make a person growing up, so any ebay or any online seller should be safe to be purchase thru shipping , but cant say any postage will screwed up something.

First u must make sure the item wont move around and covered by newspaper, bubble warp or any soft good item, if the item inside the box wont move around, it will be 100% safe.

Another spam.

God's blissful evening by NurAzam, on Flickr

Forgot to mention, budget around 3k only 

if you get AF body like D90.D7000.7100 onward... then you use non AF lens (of course it need to be support one la) like 50mm f/1.8D can use body's AF module to AF.

eh that lens dont have auto focus motor??

then you need get D7100 
or
change lens

buy my USED D70s   

my body i duno, market price might be less than 500... 

Why in the first place did u purchase this lens since u know ur camera body cant af with non cpu lens...

Nice one, colourful. If in post-processing, I might make the lollipops (really?) in colour but other than those in black and white. I love post-process!

Pool C for me, and for a 1699 dollar lens, the noct sure is soft at 1.4 lol

Sigma 50mm 1.4 all the way~

edit: shot with the humble 50mm 1.8D on FX

Nice pic bro...  

Whoa! Nice! 
I haven't try trail lights.... mainly because I'm in kampung. Not much traffic space for this, and not much cars....

These two are taken just this evening. Quick three brackets for HDR because the storm was coming.

Thought so, these days Nikon seems to be all about business. Pressure from competition especially from Canon and other mirrorless monsters I guess
Where is it exactly ya? If it's black spot then it is the dust. HDR seems to emphasize the dust on your sensor and I'm too lazy to pixel peep.

I think the first one underexposed too afterward. I increased the exposure a bit but it still looks weird.

Same thing happens to me. Always have a lot of facepalm when at home viewing the pictures in the computer.

Does cleaning sensor in the menu really works? Is there any other way to clean sensor without the blower?
