#3. An orange fly. Kinda small actually <---like this one...but how come the green leave doesnt really seem like green to me?
#4. Grasshoppers...<---like this one too, seems like the grasshopper is stalking/spying on something..nice!
#7 <--popping out of nowhere...hehe, nice also

btw, i think u can also try diff angle? try to make the background more blur (a matter of preference )

the fly is smaller than handphone buttons. and the grasshoppers are around the size of two handphone buttons XD

Thanks man

Hmmm, hard to choose from. I cant fully utilize the nikon. I'd say all of them are nice It's all the same once you get the hang of each camera

The ultimate camera for me is the EOS 5D

hmmm... the problem is place where i go hunting is kinda dark. If i used a high aperture the whole see will be dark. Im not confident enough to use a shallow aperture to compose, that's why i stick to F8-f11 all the way. =/

any other tips to share?

I dont have my own studio ler... that's my college's studio. still schooling how to rent? XD XD

woot! thanks for the infos on the books!

btw, who's skywalker?

Did you use a tripod? If you use a tripod, it doesn't matter what aperture you use. You can still meter the background and fill the subject with flash if you want to create some shadows for details.

If you hand hold the camera, you are only limited to direct flash/multiple flash/flash fill/no fill if sun light is adequate/high iso.

nope didnt use tripod =/ thought that i might not have the time, thought that once i finish everything then the insect ciao liao XD and my lens not suitable for tripod le have to get really close only can get 1:1 =/

It's been a while. here are some of my shots taken from the time of my absence.





















That's all for now

CnC please.

Is these pics were overexposed in purpose?

I dunno whether she did it purposely or accidentally.. her face expressions look grumpy compared to all ur previous shots.. light settings are okay.. nice play with the shadows of the cloth... =)

This is called hi-key photography.

To be exact, improvised hi key. LoL...

yes. Any problems?


Cuz i asked her to do so

THanks man.

Yes, yes.

What?

Dodged and burned the clouds to emphasis mood.

Port Dickson, Malaysia. At the shores of Guoman Hotels.

Will upload more later.

superb atmosphere, and composition...

are you using ND filter... if can go slower speed ,i think it would be nicer..iso 100 F22 . then can make the wave look ultra smooth... just my 2cent.

i used only 1 that time. I dont wanna go for the smoothness, the wave was calm that day. And i stumbled upon this dead tree. I wan to capture the wave hitting the tree, because i felt that at long last, the tree had finally reached paradise, even though its already dead.

Thanks diwant

Love the scene so much... You have done a great job.

Thanks man

Some more shots from PD. Some of you might ask why did I shoot the horizons, I only have 1 answer, because I love them, I felt at ease by just looking at it.

#1

#2

#3 - Panorama attempt.


Then a few of Melacca Coastal.
#4

#5

#6

#7

#8


This concludes my PD and Melacca coast series. CnC please.

Side note: People might ask:"Why the purple/red tint?". Well that's what you get for stacking 2-3 cokin ND filters.
