Thanks!

IMO, It's a very good habit to shoot in RAW. My 1st few photos with the 350D is already in RAW, i just followed the manual provided by Canon then step by step learn to use it myself.

It's pretty easy, I do not know about the E-500 though, but i think they should be the same. Just the layout of the software is different. Btw, you do know that you need a software to develop those RAW files right? For canon, the software is called "Digital Photo Professional 2.0" and there's another one which i do not use.

Adobe Photoshop has a way to process RAW files too, but i do not know how. It seems that you need a kind of plug-in for photoshop to do so. Hmmm...

edit: you can try use uncle google to search for ways to learn how to process RAW though. Hehe

currently now... because I do not have control over the 350D, it is not mine anyway... And due to some reasons I don't think I will have a DSLR of my own too... I took most of my pics at near my area. The name of the place is Desa Park City, Kepong. Currently under development. But you can stroll around the area as some parts of the place is already developed and there are people living there. And the best part about that place is its a good place for sunset photos or just plain shooting landscape. But opportunities are limited now as they start to fence some parts of the area. Currently looking for another good spot to take sunsets. ANy suggestions? In KL of course.

Im not getting any better at my rate... Like i said I do not have control over the 350D... I usually take my pics during sunsets as lights are more beautiful that time. I've missed alot of good shots due the fact that I do not own a DSLR of my own...

Hey, thanks alot for the link

But there's something wrong with my adobe bridge, stated that this file named "libagluc28.dll" was not found... after i reinstall it its still the same =/

Updates, flowers close ups! still new to doing close ups... is there any flaws in the pics? I wanna venture into macro now... And furthermore today I've got to use the EF 50mm f/1.8II lens which is my bro's haha Images are definitely sharper than the 18-55 kit lens(duh)... Anyway, here are the pics.

#7 - Cross process effect.


Thanks for viewing my pics...

No comments ma...? T_T

I guess i can figure out why

btw, where they've been to? =)

Thanks

I think the ISO that time is 200. It has a very wide aperture haha did some minor sharpening using the high pass filter in CS2 though...

Btw, do you see any problem with the pics? In terms of composition and stuffs?

Thanks Most of the pics are cropped, that's why you can see those pixels... I did some sharpening in cs2.

For pic 7 i used the "Texture > Grain", under the 'Grain type' option, use vertical, then set the intensity and contrast you desired. Yeah, its the headlamps of my Kenari

The range of 50mm lens is not that great. I have to crop the image alot. And the image size is medium. Should have shot them in RAW

Thanks for your views man. Thank you

Guys, finally got the D70s, just got it not long ago

btw, controls very confusing for me still having trouble trying to understand them =/ will check the manual later

indeed the grip is better, i dont think i'll regret getting this cam!

the 350d's controls are user friendly though, the d70s is kinda... confusing but i'll learn them in time

Bintang Maju still owe me a CPL and Close Up filter

im getting used to it hahaha now i've keep it liao, tomo will go out shoot shoot shoot hehe btw, where to purchase silica gel? =/

hmmm, ill try poking around then

okay, 1st shot for the D70s nothing to shoot at home ma cross processed a little bit =/

christmas ornaments!

yeah, going to keep the tree soon too haha

no la, in fact this is the 2nd DSLR that i "touched"

meh, that's jsut a simple p n s pic, nothing much =./

Okay, went out to just do some point and shoot, still in the "testing" level of the D70s here frankly im very very happy with the quality of the pictures it takes, I love to shoot RAW and i tend to "edit" most of my pics alot. But I could never see this kind of quality in the 350d. About quality, i am not talking about the composition, im talking about the quality of the picture - the sharpness!

Now here's some shot that i took with my new lil monster

#1a - Original Size

#1b - Cropped, magnified


#2a - Original Size

#2b - Cropped, magnified


#3a - Original Size

#3b - Cropped, magnified


Stupid SCREAMyx is creating problems while uploading! I'll post some tomorrow...

Note that most of the original pics here that i took are quite "underexpose", I have to retouch them in Picture Project... anyone here knows how to fix that? =/ what things that i need to check inside the camera menu? =/ I've checked the readings. Exposure was never extra or insufficient... Any tips? Im using the "custom" settings in the optimize image menu... There's still some things about the nikon that i need figuring out and ill learn that in time.

Thanks for viewing and taking the time to read my questions...

No comments?

okok ill cut the crap about the crop thingy haha

ya very happy with it hehe

thank you man happy to be in the d70s familu im gonna post more later haha

but sometimes what'll happen if i dont shoot in raw?

yeah i know what'll happen if i dont shoot raw, just that when shooting in jpeg, i muz make sure that it's the right settings/exposure. I find that hard for me to do im using the matrix metering... have yet to try out spot metering and center-weight(is this what's it called?)

no no no, you dont understand, it was ok when i tried shooting jpeg file with the 350d, but for the nikon its different ¯\(¯A¯)/¯
