Have you been there before mate? haha
Looks nice~
Not sure whether will be a lot of people or not now that there's more attractions 

I wonder what type of photos can we get there
Portraits with delicious bokeh probably   

  but way out of my budget... monopod function.. thats handy~
hmm, this look nice.. haha within my budget..  I shall go try it out

Not neccesarily an XE-2 la haha, but mots people love the image quality of Fujifilm cameras~ And not to mention the retro design XD

And yeap, that's what I've been telling a lot of enthusiasts currently using DX machines  , sooner or later people will still turn to mirrorless because of the portability If he/she can just skip the FF part, can save a lot of money yo~

I'm sure many (including me) joined the world of FF because we were curious to see see how well a FF performs. And at the end of the day, I guess most will learn that its really the skills that matters. And its not like mirrorless cameras are bad haha, they offer great performance for the portability- a balanced machine that many are willing to sacrifice ergonomics/ruggedness for~

This is just my opinion la haha, though I think its logical
Having said that, I'm still keeping my D800 for my macro shots, definitely will need the weather sealing and ruggedness when I enter the forests 

first try on HDR out of camera function


really no idea what to adjust...

Once you use say the X-E2, you will appreciate how good the D800 sensor is . I always took it for granted until I started using back APS-C like X-E2 lol.

Oh man after i saw your pic I dont dare to post mine already 

just came back from Penang. Took alot of shots but I think wont get that nice. 

Behold the noobness of my photos. Please comment 

The rabbit shots are nice
I'm Penangite also haha
Where did you take those landscape shots?
Can see my housing area also haha 

My parents 2nd house is one of the apartment there haha 
My landscape is photo is quite bad IMO 

Wah, 2nd house some more
Are you based in Penang? Did you went and see our own Malaysian Sakura? It was all over the news haha

Yeah, your landscape shots could use some improvements haha... I myself is not good at landscape shots too, since it requires both skill and equipment to get good ones
Usually for landscape shots you have to pick strategic places where you can properly compose your shots, with proper leading lines so that the resulting shot will be more attractive And of course, the weather has to be good as well haha... Most people take landscape photos during the golden hours- when the sun rises/sets.. that's when you will get the most colours out of the skies- very beautiful, especially if you have a camera with good dynamic range - a DSLR, which you already have

Just have to wake up early/ eat dinner late, then you'll get the shot

Anyways, not exactly a landscape shot haha, but a panorama:

Not bad, I like your 3rd shot the most. You didn't use a tripod or put on something stable?

Btw are you staying in a condo? Is it possible to access the rooftops of those buildings? Might be a better vantage point

I didnt use tripod.
shutter : 0.5sec
f/11
iso 200

Rooftops not accessible 

Not permanent resident to the condo. currently my bro is staying there hehe 

Aww no wonder it looks bit blurry, will look better in vertical as well I think. With the lines of the city leading into the mountains

Any Sigma 35mm F1.4 A owner here?
How is your lens performing straight out of box?

Today went to lowyat and try a unit.
I didn't bring my d700 so the shop borrowed a d5200.
At f/1.4 it was kinda oof, even at f/2...centre is still oof.
worse than the 50mm 1.8E I had.

Asked whether got another unit, that ah beng gave an annoyed face.
Selling 3rd party lens but don't know 3rd party lenses famous issues

Now have to try with other sellers.
Luckily didn't buy online.
