QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 1 2014, 07:38 PM) Normally what I do is, if I'm really near to subject I would use the corner AF points. If I'm relatively far away then I would rely on the middle points (or any of the 15 cross sensors). any reason for this? angle or DOF?

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 1 2014, 08:58 PM) Based on my experience, the corner AF points tends to miss when I shoot far away subject. And shooting close to mfd, its best not to recompose ;-) (oh the side AF works pretty well when subject is close). 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

QUOTE(Max_07s @ Apr 12 2014, 03:02 PM) any suggestion for 3rd party flash? Nikon flashlight quite pricey. i used to bought nissin... still haved the flash as backup (im a strobist and used alot of flash) but my recommendation is still sb-700 or sb-800 as first flash... mainly because of ttl accuracy, flash cycle speed, battery drainage and overall built quality

QUOTE(Max_07s @ Apr 12 2014, 03:15 PM) how about YN-568 EX II yong nuo? hmm.. seem the built quality is ok.. dont have exact experience using the 568, but i used 560-mk2 just the cycle and battery drainage is on the bad side.. but for the price and the power, its a good flash (yn 560 though)

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Apr 14 2014, 03:17 PM) I think its nicer if taken in landscape, but with you on the side, still showing the same things but much less of the jeans.. But of course its impossible to take a shot like that via selfie, unless if you shoot from great distance and crop alot  haha... nice idea... will try with diff focal length it is hard to do precise framing if selfie...

QUOTE(ongdennis @ Apr 23 2014, 12:24 AM) finally it reach home... FDSC0123 by ongdennis, on Flickr and then it notice it home was occupied by someone else... meet the little brother DSC_9929 by ongdennis, on Flickr to compensate its sadness, it get a new base. FDSC0124 by ongdennis, on Flickr What they had done to the cameara (taken from the service invoice): replaced shutter, aperture, tapes, rear rubber, pc adjustment, checking and general service. Result: no idea...but i still spot one oil mark on the top left corner. maybe they didnt clean it properly before send back. time will tell when i shoot more later  anyway...thanks Nikon Malaysia for it kindness for this FOC service. the overall service history can be found in my signature. nice.. but.. but.. downtime is around 2 weeks... cant afford it right now... (time wise, and my d600s dont really had big problem) wonder how long the free service will extend? do they provide loan unit?
