eh got say like that meh?

i thought aperture value = amount of light the lens can let through? focal length doesn't matter at all. look through your viewfinder and you know, a f2.8 lens gives u bright view and a f5.6 lens gives you a dark view.

Thats the answer gave by Wikipedia when i search 'aperture'. doh.gif

Ya, thats why i confuse. By right at max zoom, my kitlens should be darker than min zoom...i observed that too.

Smaller f numbers = larger aperture = more light goes through

So no matter at which focal length, if the aperture no. is higher will auto means the aperture is smaller?

'The lens aperture is usually specified as an f-number, the ratio of focal length to effective aperture diameter.'
I thought is focal length/aperture no. = aperture diameter... icon_question.gif

Ohh nono it doesn't work that way the aperture diameter thingy..

That's why lenses like

14-24 F2.8
24-70 F2.8
70-200 F2.8

are very expensive because throughout the zooms it has a constant aperture of F2.8! biggrin.gif

Sigma has a 120-300 F2.8.. Drools!!

haha okay thanks a lot. that yellow bug is quite big in real life, i wanted to capture a side profile of it, but I bumped into my flash stand and my speedlite dropped and smacked the bug cry.gif about the 2nd shot, it's some kind of "shit" looking bug that's everywhere around Kari Leaves. looks really weird.

Last year stayed overnight, this year I'm attending wedding on Saturday so can't make it for both days. Only planning for Sunday if I were to attend hehe. Even if attend most likely will be outside only and not going inside.

no need waste time go inside, the hall is too big and nothing much to see if you are not really interested in the stage event and other artwork stuff

stay outside to take pictures better biggrin.gif

Great attempts on the two photos, especially the 1st one!
That's a long-legged fly in the 1st photo, extremely sensitive critter! Its almost impossible to capture one directly from the front with flash, since its so fast that even with flash you will not be able to photograph it on time brows.gif
Some subjects are like that, it takes experiences to know which ones will react that way laugh.gif

The 2nd one is a treehopper I think, I've never seen a variant like this before haha~
Nice~
