A few pics from Thira / Santorini @ MyFlickr

Yep, all with 24-105. 

Well that specific area is not very big, but there are certain parts where the scene would make great images especially further out where you can overlook a bigger/wider view. Unfortunately i was only there for a very very short time + i was sick 3/4 of the trip!
But i'm sure all of them have already been covered by other photographers before as Santorini is a very common holiday island nowadays.

guys, need some thoughts
if i have 1k to burn, which would be the better option

1) upgrade 5D Classic to 5D 2
better AF, better ISO, can tether, better sensor...

2) upgrade 24-105 F4L to 24-70 F2.8
faster lens to compensate the poorer low light capability of the 5DC...

i personally shoot food, hence i dont need those pro gears. but last week i shot in an open bbq dinner, means no ceiling to bounce flash, body cant shoot high iso, while lens at F4, so handicapped on both ends...

end up trying to diffuse the flash as much as possible, but luckily shooting with partner, so at least he backed up 

yaya look look see see about 6d too

and yes, BUDGET IS ALWAYS LIMITED 

yeap, which is why i am saving up, wanna upgrade better upgrade once n for all, upgrade a bit a bit sure later sakit hati 

IMO the only limiting factor of the 6D is the low AF points. If you don't shoot much action/sports/wildlife the 6D is still a good buy. There isn't a big difference in the ISO performance compared to all the newer more exp models.

That's what I said. It's limited AF points makes it not suitable for fast movement shots, but 6D's center AF in low light is good.

lol 5D3 is a better all rounder, but of course considering the price also a lot better

I went for the 6D mainly due to the size/weight wise. One main reason why i delayed getting FF was until they could release a smaller sized FF as i like to travel light (not to say the 6D /w lens is light, but still quite noticeable compared to other non mirrorless FF)
If you use your DSLR mainly for events/local shoots/casual outing/etc then size & weight not much of a problem, but if you do most of your shooting while travelling outstation/overseas it's something worth considering

Back from East Europe =D

Here's my night photography shots =)

PRAGUE
Svatopluk Čech Bridge by munak991, on Flickr

BUDAPEST
Széchenyi Chain Bridge by munak991, on Flickr

Budapest Parliament by munak991, on Flickr

If you used a tripod I would have gone for a longer exposure though. How many secs did you set?

I actually search the history of the place
The first place is in Prague, which the bridge doesn't have much history.

The second bridge, its the famous Budapest bridge, built during 1800's century.

I actually looking for the best of the best place to shoot. I went over the road which shouldnt allow pedestrian to cross. But its 10pm no one is around. so i composite my shot with my camera first, then only mount my camera on tripod

3rd shot is the Budapest Parliament Building, very iconic architect they illuminate the river during the entire night.
Walk about 2-3km from the bridge to get the center of the center shot

comments?

guys may i know whats the best way to check shutter count for a 100D?

thanks

yalor, the only place i can let go the items at 1 go... i could have gotten a better deal if i were to look for individual buyers, but financially rather straining...

anyway, apparently 6D gps runs even when the camera is turned off... twice kena liao, left battery in camera for 2 days and it was empty

i bought last year together with the 24-105 @3k, traded in both for a value of 2500, so i considered that rather ok la, could have broke even if i sell individually but i guess i will just have to find new jobs with 6D to break even

"Tamron SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Lens"

SP - Super Performance (Tamron's highest quality lens line)
AF - Autofocus
XR - Extra Refractive Glass (reduces lens size)
Di - Digitally Integrated Design (to reduce ghosting, flare, CA and peripheral light fall-off along with improved resolution)
LD - Low-Dispersion lens elements (to reduce chromatic aberration for sharper images)
Aspherical - contains aspherical elements (compensates for spherical aberration and distortion, making for better performance with fewer elements (and thus allowing for smaller, lighter lenses)
(IF) - Internal Focusing

nowadays still good to go with 5D2? Looked at MIR and price around 3k
