Which part of west Malaysia you will visit first? 

Great shot man! haha 

What "lack of place to shoot"?
In KL/PJ baru no place to shoot yo haha... some more might end up getting robbed or raped   

Damn TRUE!!

Anyway, anyone here tried using Welding lenses to substitute ND Filter? The result looks interesting for long exposure photography, although it will produce a green cast that would be quitie easy to edit during PP.

Anyone tried with tinted glass before?

Also how is the performance of Cokin P series ND?

Nice....!  

Exposure should be okay after testing a few round, the problem is that how do we retain the colour and contrast of the real scene? Kinda lazy to PP too much.

Because i am using 77mm lens, and now i only found 3" by 4" max ( i need at least 4" by 4") for the welding lens after asking 5 hardware shop. Damn...

Btw do you have any nice spot to shot milky wave/ star trail? Kinda interested to try but need someone to go together, Sked kena midnight robbery T.T

Beautiful. 
Yup. 
Great shot. Looks very peaceful. 

Nice photo bro~    KL you only have building for you to shoot. Not landscape. 

But Lee price is way out of my league, considering the coking P series though.

Aww... Miri should have plenty of nice spot for night photography, what a good place!

Good one ther, esp the standing up woods in line and lead to the skyline... I might moved the camera to the right a bit, thus having more capturing of the golden moment. I might b bias cause I m a sucker for sunrise n sunset 

Some shots over the weekend

Hi guys! I need opinions from nikon users here. I've been reading about nikon dslr in the web and learn the basic knowledge of using it (PSAM mode, composing, lenses, tip n tricks etc) and now i think im ready to do the practical part which is buying the camera and start shooting! Lol. I like to take pics of people, cats, potraits, street and maybe landscape/macro in future. I've never use dslr before, totally beginner. I got few questions that i need your honest opinions:

1. I've tight budget of rm1.5k (can add few hundreds if necessary) so i've narrow down to new D3200 and D5100 plus kitlens or secondhand D3100 plus extra lense and accesories. Which camera should i get as beginner? New D3200,D5100 or just use 1.5k to buy secondhand D3100+kitlens plus 2nd hand 35mm lens and few accesories if got balance, then shoot and learn kaw kaw until good enough to upgrade to new dslr body, which one should u guys suggest? Can 3100 produce IQ as good as d3200/5100?

2. If i'm consider to buy secondhand D3100, i MIGHT have balance money from 1.5k. Should i buy 2nd hand 35mm DX nikkor lens? Since i like to shoot potrait and people, i heard this lens can produce sharp image with good bokeh, am i right? Or do u guys have other lens or accesories that u guys want to suggest to finish 1.5k? Maybe 50mm or 85mm?

3. If u guys have rm1.5k plus minus, as a beginner, which choice would u buy?

Sorry for my england, dont know to english,lol! I've learned to retouch a few photos in lightroom and now cannot tahan to produce my own picture and process it,heheh!

Thank you in advance, hope sifus2 and nikon users here can help me to decide and support my new hobby! Yeay

Anyone here old enough to remember these (our favourite pastime)?

Nice~ 

Thanks... Long time no shoot.. Really have to learn more
Nice bro!

I also want to take this kind of shots wuwuw... but I live in a developed city lol [first world problems]   

I'm planning to upgrade to a lens with f1.4 aperture in the future and combo with a full frame dslr, can this freeze motion in the above situation without raising ISO or using flash?

Is there a specific time to capture milky way? or just anytime will do as long as it is in the night?

Posting some creepier macro shots tonight

although it look huge, the overall weight is still very less compare to the dslr 

lenses heavy agreed. but body small, helps a lot dy. Also not planning on getting heavy lens ... old dy...
Im sure there is a 17-55 ranged lens on mirrorless, didnt research, just decided to sell my lens only.

bringing dSLR around travelling is a chore. I want something small, something that wont attract attention of mall security

Bro, for Android or iOS? I saw many apps are using this name. Is from which developer? 

which sigma bruh? 30, 35, 50 ?

Wanted to do a sunrise shot, but the weather just disagreed with me.
