Love the 2nd shot! If you notice, the eyes of that particular bug will show a reflective "X"  brows.gif

Keep practising man, having a flash will definitely help alot in reducing the effects of handshake thumbup.gif

btw though nikon 1 systems are like boring to us, i still see some of my frens using it.. maybe they like it cz it's cute, more portable. if canon 6d had more than 1 cross AF point, d600 is well threatened.

Guys, i would like to ask if anyone here try to take star's trail before>?? i thought might want to give it a try...
Beside i am want to buy a 70-200 lens..but i cant make a decision that.....
I)stick to nikon or other brand
ii) if nikon better get f2.8 or f4..
Hope you guys can give me some suggestion thumbup.gif
*
I) stick for nikon if u got extra money
II) get 2.8 for extra bokeh provided u gt a big budget~

well, seems meaningless la my suggestion. according to dxomark, if u want sharpest, is 70200 2.8, then 70200 4, then Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di LD [IF] macro. n the tammy 70200 macro is so darn cheap n considerably good if compared to them..i believe i must have left out something.bt still u need to ask opinion from others that had hands on before..

Oh, I'm doing seaweed biotechnology laugh.gif
But I've already passed up my thesis, now spending more time researching on insects hehe~
Most of my friends who bought the Nikon 1 were, like you said, buying it for the design haha laugh.gif
Most who are a bit more concerned about performance ended up with NEX3/5 lol
Nice try man~ Can take look at copperwire93's photo too, I think he also took quite a lot of photos of his watch laugh.gif
Imho, I think this kind of shots will look better with strobist-style  hmm.gif
Don't have a watch, canno try haha T___T

actually i never seen the printed outcome of nex cameras.. i've a lumix lx5, terrible picture when printed out. ISO 800 means die. 1600 even worse.. dno isit bcz the printer problem or my lx5 problem or memang lx5 lidat.. looks like they smudge the picture to remove noise. bt not sure. sweat.gif bt nikon no worries since nikon jpg wants details compared to less noise.

2.5k you mean is not nikon brand?

of course cant compare to prime telephoto lens...but i need to learn more about photography first before i move on to next stage.

I never had any problem with AF because most of the time i off my AF XD
*
it doesnt have VR or VC(what tamron calls it) ..
the 70200 f4 nikon is darn darn sharp anyways.. bt it's f4 lar.

i understand nikon 70-200 f4 is sharp...but i heard someone saying "a f2.8 lens can be a f4 lens but f4 will never be f2.8"

Thats why i am wondering so much hehe. There are alot more kind of photo i would like to try
*
yeah.. 2.8 sure can be f4 la.. bt hor the price is rm3k difference! with that u could get a sigma 35mm 1.4, or a used 16-35 f4 nikkor ..

Hi sifussss,

Sigma 17-50mm better or 35mm f1.8 better in a event such as comic fiesta 2013 in KLCC? because it is not full in-door nor full out door, not sure which lens to bring. Too lazy to bring both, just a simple setup with flash gun and shot.

Just want to write blog about the event, not those apa apa photography page you normally see on fb that with superior lightning and such. But still quality photo is still the main factor.
*
if really need 1 only, get the 35mm 1.8 la.. the last event i went to animangaki..95% i used 35mm.. light n sharp.

QUOTE(jepertine90 @ Dec 4 2013, 02:07 PM)
nono, already have the sigma.. is my friend one, just not sure to tumpang that sigma or bring that 35mm..  tongue.gif
is tamron 17-50 better than the sigma? because in future, may be after Chinese new year(angpao ftw) might get one of these lens. I love the kit 18-55 but the f3.5 and the sharpness is a bit let down when shooting in-door..  cry.gif
*
tammy 1750 is best among them(third party 1750)

QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ Dec 4 2013, 05:09 PM)
Haha nice!! Keep up the good work!  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
I'm also thinking of getting a Macro lens but not to shoot insects tongue.gif More on wedding bands and rings! biggrin.gif
Lol!! Nice catch!! I don't think this is in Miri right since Miri is not an international airport
Don't worry, we all learn from each other! That is where the fun begins!
Bring both lens, you won't regret! Both lens a great for CF, last CF I brought a 16-35f4, 35f1.4, and 70200f2.8.. Its heavy but I don't mind!

i rmb u brought the manual focus zeiss isit?

I shot animangaki with 35mm + kit lens too.. yup very sharp, but I open very wide, some picture too soft.. sad.gif will not make mistake on coming CF

tammy 1750 best and cheapest.. seems like a no brainer~ is this standard zoom lens good?  blink.gif
*
i have a tammy 1750 vc.. i think the range is good.. n never wanted to use kit lens anymore cz 2.8 is really better..less noise haha.

all your photo use that tamron right? looks sharp!!  drool.gif  drool.gif might be getting this, extra Rm200-300 might worth the price to compensate my shaky hand.. thanks for the feedback!

edit : just checked your animangaki photo.. those looks amazing how come mine doesn't as sharp as yours even using the same lens? PP? or my setting is wrong?
*
er..abit of PP sharpness haha..bt not very sharp la.. some i recompose n made it less sharp ady.. my tamron shots are usually not sharp. bt enough for events la. i got the vc one cz gt promotion or something he quote me rm1250 only..so i bought it lo..

QUOTE(Pro3363 @ Dec 4 2013, 11:48 PM)
Even when u turn of the VC? I personally think that there will be no probs using without VC since the range is consider quite wide nod.gif
*
it's the same. with or without vc has the same poor sharpness. ><

Creative photo's owner is one of the most arrogant sellers I've ever dealt with in my life. Good luck if you choose to buy from him seriously.  doh.gif

n his price is rocketing high! >.< it's obvious i noe the pricing, yet he never wanna reduce it.. so i jz went off..

QUOTE(gunzerdude @ Dec 12 2013, 10:21 AM)
One-shot deal involving small items can la, expensive stuff like lenses better not take the risk  laugh.gif

If price is an issue, there's always KL used camera and lenses also.
Not a bad seller, willing to negotiate prices even when they're already quite low.

KL used camera and lenses https://www.facebook.com/KLDslr not bad thumbup.gif
low prices and quite efficient..dealt with him once..
