Beautiful mountain. I didn't realize the oil spots after I read your comment.
I wish I can go somewhere exotic for travel.

My last pack of spams for today.
Series of me observing this orange hornet and an unknown bug at the last.

Nice find man, I've never see mushrooms like that laugh.gif
Wah, shot with 24mm bro? Taking landscape shots and found these mushrooms along the way?  laugh.gif

I think the shot could use a lot more bokeh haha  hmm.gif But nothing much you can do la if you only bring one lens, I always face this problem too, and missing shots  laugh.gif

Ya, I was walking near at the coast when I saw this pair of mushrooms but I didn't bring my 35mm and Raynox :\

Really? I think I saw some near the clouds. It could be my dirty lappy. hahaha! Chill! icon_rolleyes.gif

Sad, today i found dust on the focus point area, i open up the lens the dust still remained, so i assume is inside the viewfinder. How can the dust enter that area? i din open the lens since i bought the cam, and store in drawer after used. i gooogle and seems this problem is common. What should i do now? send back to shop for warranty/cleaning? the dust is really irrritating, i can't accept even it won't affect the pic quality.

Mine also got dust in vf, just use the rocket blower. No problem there don't worry. Also, worth to mention even if you haven't opened the lens for a while, the dust still get its way inside the cam, again can use blower. smile.gif

Great photos as usual man notworthy.gif
Love #1 and #4!
Imho, these particular batches of photos could just some slightly higher exposure.
#1 will be awesome if you can add some artificial sunlight to the upper right corner thumbup.gif
The bug in #4 should be a stilt legged fly too, but I've never seen a yellow one, awesome!  notworthy.gif

Thanks! biggrin.gif
Are they underexposed? I'm curious because some also suggest the same.

Bro, how much for the blower? can camera shop do it for me? i have no idea where should i blow.

It's really cheap, I don't know less than RM10? I bought with a set with other cleaning materials. It looks like this.

Camera shop can do it too, but you just bought the camera, I reckon it's not that serious. Better do it on your own or they charge you.

Tonight spam.
Found green hornet variants. This time the queen decided to sent the small ones to do the job. lol! Harder than the bigger ones to capture because they're really active, flying from flowers to flowers. Unlike the adult that take their time on the flower.

Hi folks!
I think I want to try wedding photoshoot next year. Currently I only have 35mm and 10-24 (for landscape, lol!), planning to get Yongnuo flash gun next. Is there any other equipments needed that I should be aware of? For Yongnuo flash, what particular model is good for a new flash user like me? My budget is below RM350.

And for this kind of events, Lightroom is enough right?

Long time no spam here, so... tongue.gif

Regarding the dust in my D3200 viewfinder, i made a huge mistake by dismantle the focusing screen and super imposed screen. I'm not sure about other models design, but D3200 design is separated focusing screen and super imposed screen (with focus grid).

The dust is inside the inner side of super imposed screen, which is the side facing prism. I wipe with micro fiber cloth and now the screen is full with many fine scratch. The focusing screen too. The expensive lesson for me. cry.gif

Anyway, anyone here know how much for these 2 parts? I know the focusing screen is around 100+, just dun know how much for the super imposed screen.

Man, you sure is brave to fiddle your new camera. I'm afraid to dismantle anything in my DLSR. ohmy.gif
About the micro fibre cloth, did you use the small blue micro fibre cloth that you get with the camera? I personally avoid that particular kind for any usage on glasses. Like jchue73 suggest, take it to Nikon Centre, they will fix it and replace the parts with new ones.

Sorry to hear this, good luck, hope you get it fixed soon. nod.gif

Sigh I just bought this nikon n5200 for 2 days, and when I tried out the high aperture, something nasty happened. A black spot on the top left corner, can't view it from the ovf. So unlucky.

hope that it's just a dust and not scratch..

Read the manual and find sensor cleaning menu, do it several time. I recommend settings it to clean every on/off. I did that and it seems to reduce the necessity to clean my sensor with a blower.
