Saw your photos of your taiwan trip.. awesome shot..

I was wondering how did you do the effect for like vintage feel.. not sure how to describe but is like yellow, greenish feel to all the photos.. mind share the process of it?

For example the last photo with your SB700, the grainny feel to it..

Side question : what camera stand is that? looking for one with light weight for my upcoming trip~

Same question I want to ask him. The stand is Sirui if I not mistake.

D9300 = D400?? XD

Thanks for taking your time to look at the photos mate
If you want to see the full album, with descriptions and itinerary, do feel free to add me on FaceBook haha~ Was too lazy to retype captions for Flickr

Ahh, I've been trying to learn this effect for quite some time too haha... asked around but no one seems to know or want to help T___T

Its very simple actually haha, you simply need to (Lightroom 5) pull the left end of the tone curve up.. that will make the black color lighter (should be able to get similar effect by increasing the "Blacks" bar just below "Whites"), thus giving the effect , at the same time (depending on the amount of light in your photo), you decrease "Highlights", "Shadows" and "Whites".
After this, do some minor tweaks until you get the effect you want Can adjust "Temps" and "Tints" too, usually I will increase the Yellows by a bit

I usually like to increase the Hues of Yellow and Green by a bit (~+5-+10) if there are greeneries (tree, bush etc.) in the shot. This of course, depends on your personal preference, I prefer greenish photos over yellow... At this time I only know how to really tweak Yellows and Greens, still practising with other colors

Sorry if unclear haha, its a bit hard to generalize
Different photos will require different "magnitude" of tweaking haha... takes time to learn and apply

Good eyes mate!
Its a 1.7kg SIRUI, I've purposely chose this one because its light, small, sturdy, and at the same time doesn't cost a bomb like Carbon Fibre ones do haha
I love this tripod~ Only weakness is that it cannot reach very tall height, probably around 140-150cm only, which is not bad la haha

I want D8000 only

Thanks for the info. Will try this tonight.
Coz currently I am using too.

Feel free to ask, don't be shy haha~
All the best ya

fb mari... I want look~ planing revisit taiwan next year..

Oh, you've been there before? haha
Really nice place... if given the chance I'll consider migrating there
Good food, nice weather, beautiful place and very friendly locals

Can add me here haha:

Please let me know who you are ya haha, I don't simply accept requests one, too many jor

i just add you
first i search ji tan since ur flickr name show that...then see the person show up...i guess should not be u
then come back lowyat here saw got ppl ask the question i want to ask already

Added, profile picture is Nicolas Cage,



Ya been there last year where I still don't own a DSLR yet, using DC and relying my friend to take those good shot.
and that's the time it got me hooked up in photography, and here I am, burning time and money to learn to take good photos... haha

Yup, super friendly locals, nice food and place, but I went there on Winter, so... RAIN~ still nice experience thou, especially the ladies..

So now I'm preparing my skills and gear for Japan in May..

ah, the highlights,shadows and whites.. I try to do this with temp and tints and its look ugly..
Later try it on some expo shot I had..

same I also used to edit photo 1 by 1 with different settings to suit each condition of the photos... but time consuming..

Sirui which model?

Hey, thanks for adding man haha
You should try searching for "tanji" and look under Google images

Ahh, nice profile pic haha XD
Wow, didn't know Taiwan had such a huge impact in your quest for photography haha
I'm sure you'll take way better photos now
Japan's very beautiful during this time right? Nice yo hehe~

For the highlights, shadows and whites, I usually decrease them if the photo is under bright sunlight. If indoors, then increase them haha Sorry missed out just now But again, how much to tweak varies between photos ya~

It took me 10 days to finish editing my 10-days Taiwan trip photos too hehe, but its totally worth it la~

I can't remember the exact model haha, but its under this series:

No la, Taiwan > Friend's awesome shot > jealous > wanted to be the cool kid > buy DSLR > rust at home > still cool and learning from every opportunity I have..
well now should be decent gua.. at least I know how to work on ISO x Aperture x Shutter Speed x EV~ Still learning composition and framing and editing..
Erm, April is sakura blossom, I go on May, and from my homework's data, is has nothing there at that time.. weather is around 20-25 ish.. so, is still unknown on what I can find that time..

You went for vacation and take photos using RAW? I was wondering is my 3 x 8gb class 6 memory enough or not..

10 days is fast for those quality, well practice more to improve efficiency.

Rm700...

First encounter with real Tulips

So many colours, so beautiful

Haha, you are being humble man
At least you don't just buy and shelf it without using it at all, and that's good enough~
Can la, your photos are good ma~

Well, it doesn't have to be flowering season, the culture/environment etc. there alone will already make your shots stand out since we don't often get to see shots like that, so don't worry too much haha~ Enjoy the moment!

Yeah, I always shoot in RAW haha... especially during trips oh, keep as memory ^___^ I don't get to go vacation that often also lol

Maybe can try to review, filter and delete photos during the trip, so that you have more space + don't have to filter them at one go after you're back from the trip

Ehh... I bought for ~RM300 something only bro

Mine geh also RM700 wor. Why u so cheap geh? Ada lubang ka?

Different model kua?

I think is this model http://yamiya.com.my/store/product.php?pro...&cat=612&page=1

is it carbon fiber? the price is not bad leh..

Nope, mine is not carbon fibre haha
I don't remember the model at the moment haha... will update once I do
Its a very good tripod no doubts about that

did you mean cross processing?
