Need to check with sifu over here, I'm going to purchase Canon 10-18mm as UWA for landscape, would like to understand the necessary of using a polariser filter or normal UV filter? I'm not a pro-user but looking for some advice and also filter recommendation.

Where to get big roll of parchment paper? Want to use it as diffusal

Was trying to imitate this shots

70mm, really hope i got 100mm im working 30 cm distant =(

GST coming all lens at least RM200 more exp =X

how does it work if bring lenses from oversea, sure throw all the boxes away, how can they tell, when you already have a set of camera and lenses with you.

I didn't really feel the article all that much.  The article was mainly about framing, composing and so and so...  all about training the photography eye.  The 18-55 is a lens where beginners can't find the best picture because they are zooming in and out.  This "Kit lenses force you to think harder"...  I'm sorry but a prime lens makes you think harder imo.  My ef-m 22mm f2 is the lens that forces me to think.   

Kit lenses are optically are great and sharp.  But its zooming in and out is what makes people simply shoot like a pns cameras. 

But I do find reasons why beginners throw the kit lens for wider apertures are so they can avoid lighting gears.  They've all seem to have read that flash destroys the picture.  Which is true with pop up flashes.  So avoids lighting gear at all cost.  And lighting gears are quite alot more inventory to carry, which again they would avoid.  In the low lights the results of a f1.4 is undeniably brighter and cleaner (by using lower iso) than the kit lens.  People see these results and assume kit lens = rubbish.  Why people go a certain path can be seen and also I've been there myself too somewhat.

I use 50mm as my practice lol...

actually, pop up flash is good also... if combine with filter  with a paper the flash comes out soft and nice...

15-85 Kit lens is very nice, can be as nice as L lens man... just dont have the L ring

Another Past week project...

A little off topic. Are used camera items charged with gst as well? ( means that we as camera owners can increase the price )

Oh thanks then. But still I guess a lot people will increase the price by themselves hmm...

Hi guys,

Need help from who have similar experiences on dealing with the problem that am I currently facing.

I didn't use my 600D for one to two months and still remember the battery inserted was fully-chared since the last time I used the camera. Now when I switch on the camera again, the camera is not functioning.

May I know if there's anyone here know what could be the cause and is there any "home remedies" to fix the problem instead of sending it to the service centre which is going to be really costly?

Thanks much   

Thanks much to the three of you for those suggestions. Here's the situation for now:
I have two batteries. I tested those batteries one by one after fully-recharge it which to me it should be normal as there was no blinking indicators during charging those batteries. But sadly, after tried to switch on using both batteries - the camera still won't turn on     

I am currently in a tight budget while waiting for pay to come in. So do anyone of you know where is a good place to give my camera and batteries some checking at cheap or affordable price?

And at the same time - the problem here should be within the body kit, the lens, or just those batteries that may be totally drained out?

I came across an explanation in the internet that 10.10 will make arrows look like a smile. Not sure if that's the truth tho.

i wonder if shooting thru a polarized filter will cut the slight glare at the top 

Ahh IC..  Yea do agree prime is sharper and always a better aperture... Once I got bonus will definitely consider a 100mm
Okay got it. That's my consideration too does a 70-200mm bring me any benefits? Now with you always taken food photography has spoken stating it is being under ultelise I have more reason to avoid a 70-200mm thx u so much

Just bought a Canon 50mm f1.4.  Bought it two weeks ago and just played with it last week.  All photos were out of focus so bad I'd be better off using my 50mm f1.8, (6D's LCD screen quite bad to tell if anything is in focus, or maybe its my screen protector that made it hard, so I didn't know til editing time)!  This week was playing with the micro AF adjustment.  Major front focus issues but lucky my Canon 6D has micro adjustment.  Had to +12 it, which i feel is a bit much.  But then this means my 650d can't use this lens. 

Its grey good with in shop 1yr warranty.  Should I take it back to them, which I'm not sure what they would do?  Or is there a place that can re-calibrate its AF?
