seem reasonable... im always using centre point and recompose..
either the subject is far or close.. and always miss the focus by a hair if close

hmm... will try using the outer af point if the subject is closed..
thanks

Time to shoot moar

My second image in flickr. please comment about it

Please comment

Nice phone there mate!
New one?
I think your photo lacks a main focus, as in I'm not sure what you are trying to show with your photo if I didn't read your title
Next time try to use a clean background (remove the other phone, headset and Nikon bag), or blur out the background altogether with large apertures (either shoot at max focal length @F5.6, OR any short focal length @F3.5), so that the focus will be on the phone and box itself

snapshot like using handphones

is quite a bad shoot, you should see how other photographers shoot foods and products photography, learn more on composition and lightning

you can refer to goldfries's collection

anyway, keep trying and you will get better, it's not like i'm any better either, let's keep learning and improving together

I'm truly sorry with those background stuff. Randomly snap some pic and start with editing using LR. I will improvise the shot next time . thanks alot of the comments alot to learn

ya ar? that bad?

Sorry alot. Will try improvise it .

Don't worry man, my 1st few thousand photos were very bad as well haha
You'll slowly learn about composition, lighting and post-processing along the way~
In fact, its good that you have already started using LR while you learn your photography, more efficient

I don't have any phone shots T___T
But I do have some camera shots. Just for your reference, I'm still pretty noob at this:




Oh ya, this too hehe

Keep it up~

woah the red background with olympus camera

Ahh.. thanks, will try again the next time I shoot human, haha. Shooting human is so hard.

Will be going sabah next week, and will be camping in one of the islands for a night, hopefully will be able to get some nice landscape shots.

Try to use Spoiler tags for long replies ya bro
So to keep things less messy

Ohh... that one was just fooling around with the colors..
Based on what I've learnt, sometimes it feels nicer to have the same colors in a photo of a product e.g. The Olympus is red so I choose red background lights; Sony NEX is pink so I picked pink-coloured, girly stuffs

alot to learn still
composition and lighting is something new to me. Need to read and try out more

no worries la.. i was like u as a beginner, my 1st 10k shutter just like snapshots... just keep shooting and shooting.. and try everything

fuiyooo.. cantek

Take your time to learn bro, eventually will become great like the sifus here
Don't worry too much about advanced lighting first, that can come later~
As for composition, for a start, don't put your subject at the middle of a photo, put on the sides instead ~

Same here, felt like wasted a lot of photos when I look back now
Thanks sifu, your photos are much more cantek

rules of third the best

im not sifu la

need to download more emagazine to read about newbie guide haha

I would advise that you read up about the basics of picture composition. Most importantly currently get to know your camera and its functions well. Like how to change a setting fast (on the fly). Ya taking lots of pictures really helps. After a while it will all just gel up and you will be taking good photos

i think it's sharp n accurate for this picture(using centre focus point) Sigma 50mm 1.4 on D610. i usually use only middle focus point, since the other cross type focus point oso vy close to middle one, not much difference. besides, the outer focus points are less accurate , i dont feel safe using them.

yeah, can use liveview too, or face detection so that u no need recompose or select where to focus.


oh that's how to do it.. new info.. hmm.. if it's close, why not use liveview? thought it's slower n sometimes i find it blur. i think my handshake more on liveview..

ChaosSixth no worries la.. im still snap shooting after 6 years as long as you happi
