Online normally Shashinki or Ebay or lelong depending on which one is cheaper 

Overseas. Also depend on which shop is cheaper after shipping. If ebay normally I choose seller with high feedback score.

for tripod, I am looking for one as well.

for deciding which one, you can read some reviews and thoughts from our LYN forummer,

Pretty good for a first shot mate 

I remembered I had problems getting a proper shot since I have no idea how to use a D80 
Keep it up yo~! Perhaps can try finding something more interesting to shoot next time 

I totally have no knowledge on Pshop. Nak buat logo pun x tahu.


Went for another landscape test for Tamron. Notice the softness at the right corner. Probably this what reviews are all about, or perhaps my aperture is not that narrow enough to focus on it.

More to come, tomorrow back to campus and glued with study table.

Thanks!

Last photo, I intentionally boost up clarity because it looks colourful to me.

C&C welcomed

It's 6 seconds, can be easily found on the EXIF.

Enjoyed reading the comments of the article instead. Hahaha!

@exquisite_markas: Haven't tried, but with that budget I guess it would be good, better than mine.

Polaroid, it's a cheaper one. Only RM90. Have no problem using it so far.

err... dont know what your friend want to express base on this picture 

I have done -40 degree C with the D70 before. Should be fine. Just make sure you take enough batteries with you.
Yes, you have a point. But that's shipping from a manufacturer that puts a lot of care and subcontract special shipping consignments to include special packing and insurance should anything happen.

After that, the lens sold by Nikon or dealer to end user would include 1 year warranty. And even after this, you do get end users complaining that their lens not functioning as they should or not at all which hardly happens.

Having said the above, I'm not discouraging or putting down the item being sold by QiAnG. I have successfully bought quite a few 2nd hand lenses from ebay that shipped all the way from US when I started a few years ago.

conclusion, the photo is too artistic for me to read the message, OR maybe he never see spike on tree skin. 

There is no focus in the photo. When I first looked at it, I don't know whether you are trying to present the tree bark or the people. If it's the former, it is at the side of the photo, which is hardly noticeable. If it is the people, they are out of focus. Try to place your focus point somewhere in the middle. Or try to fill your focus subject at least 1/3 of the photo.

What do you think of this picture, guys? Went for a landscape, took a lot pictures.
Only this one is decent enough for me. 
Others are failed compositions, out of focus etc. Sometimes it's just too tiring. Haha!

I think getting that landscape filter set would be good now. Not relying on AF too much would be a good idea too. It beeped, but when I get to see the pics on PC, most are out of focus. The lighting was too extreme I guess.

EDIT: BBcode fixed. Noob!

Can kot. Hehe!

I think he was like me when I got to try 1000D, it's like "Whooaaa!! Blur background! I did it! I did it!"

This another photo I managed to developed from the fail compo. The left tree was cut in half into the frame.

That's actually a little bit fail too. The natural one is sooooo extremely bright. I didn't use any filter, should use gradual nd filter for that. Hence, I combine 3 photos with different exposures with the hope of getting that starry-looking sun. But it failed.

But all is not lost I supposed.
