Hopefully the Nissin Di622 MK2 will work fine. Any tips on events coverage?  |

QUOTE(gunzerdude @ Oct 8 2013, 12:15 PM) Well then, hard to give advice like that, usually I just adapt to the environment only. thanks, I guess trial and error all the way. Full manual settings, ISO adjust to compensate for ambient lighting, then flash ratio adjust for fill. QUOTE(vearn27 @ Oct 8 2013, 12:34 PM) Oh, the D610 officially announced now? This is just a replacement model for the oil problematic D600, isn't? The AF should be the same, izzit? What about D600? Any kind soul here would like to share a list of D600 problems? Sorry I lost track on Nikon after their D700 announcement and leak. (Still keen on getting a FX like D700 though.) |

*raise hand*
can I have a D800?  anw, last evening took some bracketing burst shots (3 shots, 1 stop) AF-S and single point. Problem is, the D7000 tries to refocus on every shots. Hence the second and third shot usually landed OOF. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 15 2013, 11:19 PM) Yeah, Nikon D600 units are plagued with oil splattering issues onto the sensors, that's the reason why Nikon released the D610 very recently which claimed to have fixed that issue. But Nikon's move had upset a lot of D600 users I just bath my 2x D7000s this morning, well light rain that is.DSLRs are not water resistant one haha, best also weather sealed in higher end models Even so, best not to shoot too much in the rain la haha, humidity is very conducive to fungal growth 1x D7000 is in good condition, 1x D7000 has been exposed to salt water, the lens mount are covered with rust, as well as all the screws.  Both are not mine. This post has been edited by s7ran9er: Oct 15 2013, 11:24 PM |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 15 2013, 11:42 PM) Wah, so terror ar sifu? the shoot must go on! Rugged use man haha XD Though I have to admit sometimes its very hard to keep them dry, especially when on the sea or in the forest (with ballerinas) One D7000 belongs to my GF, we exchanged. One D7000 belongs to my brother, the lens mount already has "blueish" stain on it, plan to wipe it off with alcohol swab but since it's not recommended, I might as well try other solution. How did the salt water get onto the camera? Most of the time my brother spend his time on the beach, he's now a diver. He probably forgotten about the camera after spending time on the beach. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 18 2013, 02:50 PM) Great shot mate! I love the posture, looks very hard lol~ no joke! Thanks for the comment, looking forward to adjust and correct future shots. Too bad the face obscured liao, should be better without the jacket I think In these type of shooting, trial and error. We only realised the jacket Really love the hair highlight when she landed.  |

for deciding which one, you can read some reviews and thoughts from our LYN forummer, http://www.liewwkphoto.com/blog/ on choosing your tripod. http://www.liewwkphoto.com/blog/?p=2694 This post has been edited by s7ran9er: Oct 19 2013, 01:48 PM |

QUOTE(exquisite_markas @ Oct 19 2013, 02:54 PM) Seems to me that there are a few types of tripod, one being a normal one, and one a ball-head type. Not sure whether I am correct. liewkk, not sure if he's still around. He likes to shoot avians animal and landscape which is why a sturdy and reliable tripod is needed. I really should get one for myself too but budget is quite out for this month. You can buy separately though, ballhead or the feet. some digging found this: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2994319 This post has been edited by s7ran9er: Oct 19 2013, 04:11 PM |
