Don't worry about it man. Camera actually does little in producing nice, well composed photographs. What matters is the primary factor - the shooter.

There's nothing much you can do with equipments alone, just go out there and shoot shoot shoot. People will call you crazy, but that's exactly what we all are. Crazy! Go out and go nuts! Haha biggrin.gif

Nice pics, but I think there's a lot of improvement you can do. I am a newbie myself. Keep it up

Thanks for the words of encouragement bro! Really appreciate that, and would like to learn more from everyone here.... notworthy.gif

For me, overall is the colour n contrast not so enuf, if u compare your "Blend of Nature.."  to "africa daisy" n see, can u see the diff tongue.gif

Keep it up.

I'm really humbled when I see WildPiew gives comment here.... blush.gif Thanks a lot bro! I've been admiring your shots, and always dreamed to be able to take good shots as yours... Will take note of your pointers, and hope to produce more 'solid' photos.. Thanks again bro!! notworthy.gif

Yup.. My SP-700 does not have a powerful zoom, so had to outstretch my hand closely to the butterfly... That was the nicest shot among all... smile.gif

Looking back at my photos I noticed that they're lack in depth of colours.. No post-processing done in all photos except for adding my nick on the photos.... Any reccomendation what should be done? blink.gif

I also noticed that the photos are rather soft.. Most of them shot using my 100-300mm.. I don;t think there's any shot using my kit lens... blink.gif

Are those monyet shots cropped to 100% cause they do look pretty soft. I had the same problem as u when i got my 400D and well..in my case, i blame it all on the kit lens. I now use the EFS 17-85mm IS and the picture it takes are generally sharper.

U can try to bump up the sharpness in "Standard" mode by a notch or too and see if it helps.

welwitchia, all photos are posted as they are. only resized in imageshack... Will try to sharpen using PS... What other lenses do you have? ANy sample shots? smile.gif

Erm, i have the usual 50mm F1.8. The 400D and the IS lens set me back more than RM 5K..stupid me, I should have gone with a D80 with kit lens..sigh, what's done is done.

As for sample pics, u can go to http://welwitchia.multiply.com. Our international link is down so its not accessible now. Most of the pics there are crap, not like those u see here in this forum. Oh and I don't take model pics..don't see the point, IMO.

Thanks for the link... I'll check it out when the link is up again... smile.gif

ermm..i think the lens comes second...photoshop can do most of the trick...somehow i realise that most of your images are lack of contrast and saturation...i was using a cheapo tamron lens beofre i have my Ls, i think with a bit of photoshop's magic..your images will look really nice...

earthkid thanks for the comment.. Will try to learn more abt PS to enhance my photos.. smile.gif

your kek lok si photos a bit washed out. the color no vibrant enough.

This and also photo softness are the main problems for me which I noticed so far.. Do you always post-process your photos?

Off topic: I see you've got yourself a BG-E3 too... Wonderful! My next aim: Tamron's SP90 and a Sigma 18-200.... smile.gif
