Do you guys took any shots of the model at Nissan booth? She looks sooooo sweet

I own a Lee's big stopper, but it was for seven5 system, those smaller ones as I used to use it with my x100. as expensive as they may be, they still have color cast, I think better to go with the cheaper ones.

Now i'm saving up for a 20 2.8D for landscape uses, haha, only lenses with smaller than 72mm filter thread can use that =.=

EDIT: oh yes about what gerald 7 suggests below, if you want to avoid the troublesome focusing issue with a screw on nd1000. you can try using those screw on variable nd filters, those usually varies from 2 to 9 stops

He's my motivation for macro work, hehe, learnt this reverse lens method after watching his vid.

Truly inspirational video Too bad he doesn't make anymore macro videos

Um, not really sure about your 1st question, what I usually do is expose the camera without filter, lets say at ISO 100, F11 aperture priority, I get 1/500, then I'll set to manual, with same aperture and iso, then reduce my shutter speed down 10 stops if i'm using 10 stop filter..

about color cast, do you notice the wb of your shots were not correct when you're using the nd8 from cokin? that's color cast, stronger nd filters have a more obvious color cast. like your picture turns totally blue after the long exposure.

hope this helps

Not sure bout AP set but why not get a used D7000, costs around RM1500-1700 lately. You can save even more than RM200

Yannick? I wanna send my lens for fungus cleaning too, considering Shashinki atm.

Yannick nice ah? haha

!! This was Nissan the model that I was looking for, so so sweet smile

If your camera really lari focus, it sure knows where to lari. haha

OT: Um, unless you're using the centre focusing point and focusing on the.. impossible backfocus ba . haha

Noooo, got a not bad shot of a baby jumping spider hiding behind a leaf looking at me, eyes in focus, then realize I didn't have my memory card slotted in =.=''

Yep, removed them all the last time I used them =.=

btw, finally free enough to go out and try my 105 macro and raynox 250.. all i can say is, with raynox on, I cant even find the target. =.='' have to practice more

Yea, working distance really reduced a lot, plus finding the target on the viewfinder is tough as the depth of field is soo small, working at more than 2x magnification is not easy =.= .. will try to work around with this, shooting without raynox is easy though

Today's catch
