Its a nice place indeed. I would prefer to shoot without the date, as u can alwaz get the date via EXIF, and add it on later using photoshop if you wish to.

whoa...yr level adjusted too much. y not post the original shot without adjusting the level??

nice........d lighting ar??, the 3rd pic of the sun rise could be better a bit i think..but is nice also...

thanks anywhere , but i think is a bit over i adjust in the ps...
mine l old camera, where got d lighting

Playing around the EOS 400D, dont know how to operate the toy, hahaha

so fast getting a DSLR......... jealous u...i still dun hv
dslr yet..

do u used flash on pic 1?
i thimk ur pic lask of contrast..keep the good work and share more.....

i used flash for lst picture , coz the day quite dark , going to rain.
For all the outdoor pic , the day are cloudy and going to rain, but i take without flash except for 1st pic

How far is your house from Gombak Lake Garden ... I went there for shoot last time as well

less than 5min, very near. but dont know what ot shoot there, some more is going to rain. I saw few malay guy taking wedding photo there, so cloudy and bit dark, dont know how is the wedding pic they took.

lao eh. last time been there was with Miss Maldives

for the bubble santa, you need mini studio or lighttent liao.
and probably wrong wb setting, try for daylight wb setting
and increase the aperture to about f/9. if not handheld set iso to 100, if handheld, get a tripod
then make sure the overhead fluorescent light is not reflected on the bubble.

thanks g3k, will test it again tonight, maybe have to use tripod

Oh ... you mean Miss Tourism Queen International Miss Maldives-ah? She won subtitle liao .. 2006 Miss Tourism Queen Intl - Disco Queen of the World

seem like you know all the Miss Miss and Queen Queen, then how bout you ? Model shooting king ?? jk .

6.photography-long term investment


7.after bought EOS 400D, need to re-charge, then will look for new lens

Hey, it will take more than CENTS to invest ... might take thousands to satisfy the LUST for better images

ac any comment on the pic took ? im newbie, need to learn from sifu, if you ask me where goes wrong , i really dont know,hehhehehe.
especially the explosure , sometime look very dark sometime look very light.
everyone also welcome to comment, yours comment will help me to improve.

mm..i think your images turned out to be a little on the darkside...what mode were u using?

thanks for the comment , coz i still dont know how to control the explosure, i used Av mode. will post more pic after come back from s'pore.

Av mode is best for fixed aperture lens
70-200mm f/2.8 L

normal lens with range of aperture is pretty useless
because when u zoom you cannot retain a constant largest aperture

hehe, and sometimes, av mode will give you super slow shutterspeed, so watch out.

haha eg kit lens

u play with max zoom f/5.6


try to shoot in 1/2 hehehe

a little tip from me, the setting i usually use for indoor is TV coz i'll set it to 1/60 or 1/100 and let the aperture run itself, at least at this setting ur picture won't be blur coz of movement.ISO will set at 200-400 depends how much light u need. even sometime a picture with noise is better than a blur picture. another way is setting low ISO and play with exposure maybe +1, need to play around with it.

as for AV i will usually use for outdoor, the light that comes in doesn't matter anymore on outdoor coz the shutter speed will always be set high and the picture won't be blur.here can adjust ur aperture to your need, blur background or flat picture. as for ISO usually i will set 100 - 200. this also depends if ur under a tent it will be darker so 400 is still ok.

hope this helps!

thanks everyone(shinchan,g3k,zadan), note down already. yup i notice when used Av mode, the shutter speed keep on changing, so i used a option '*' to fix the shutter then shoot , but sometime have to try few time to get the correct shutter speed , coz sometime too dare sometime to bright. Just bought 50mm f1.8 , will try out to shoot portrait, hehehe

Now I will comment : Seems like you've getting the drift of composition and getting the hand of shooting with available light. Pretty good perspective in some of the images but you will need to work out your handholding during those lower shutter speed moments. Keep your eye on your viewfinder and read all available information i.e shutter speed and aperture settting and adjust them accordingly.

thanks for your comment, still got alot need to learn from you.
i tried to study infomation on the view finder, but still not understand, like when i try to take pic with object hanging under the sun , the object become very dark, try few settings also fail.
somethings to ask , i try to take portrait at very low light place , why the auto focus fail to focus on face, izzt coz of face too dark and no light ? and what can i do ?

You're staying in Sri Gombak right? No need to say anything ... it's yumcha time already

then when is the yamcha time , heehehehe

You seriously have to learn up your handholding, you're very unsteady even during daytime. Your focusing is there I know but you either moved up and down or back and forth

Hi there,

I like some of your Singapore shots. It show creativity in composing... the angle is really refreashing!

And to your sunset pictures, dun use date la... It spoilt the pictures only nia.

By the way, did your nick actually mean something? Or I am being over sensitive?

Thanks , im new , still long way to learn ..
regarding the sunset pic , actually using other compart camera, cant check exif that why i put the date, but really spoil the pic ..

My nick , doesnt mean anythings , dont be too sensitive ... they all just fooling on my nick only .. seem moderator not allowed my to change nick , maybe will register a new account

we will always remember u, lancau

hopefully new nick will bring a lot nice pictures

mean that i dint bring any nice pictures to you ??
i know my gallery dont have any model portrait ...
never mind i will try my best in new nick ..

really la
no need to go do all the trouble creating new nick..
get one of the mod..then ask them can help you change nick or not..

i mean more "better picture"

lancau,
i'd think, if you increase the length of the exposure, it might look better as it'll show some sort of motion in the pic. now it's just still frames.

thanks for the comment , i got tried some with slow shutter speed , but the whole body and face become blur.

but i think if the 2nd pic follow your idea will be nice coz only hand show the motion. Too bad dint think that way at that time ...

that day so many ppl , cant get better place to snap the pic , some more only used kit lens ...

use a monopod then...

hey bro, try not 2 look down on kit lense... they r really usefull man...if u underestimated it, u wont unleach the power of it...and without understanding ur cam body, u cant use ur lense power...well u need 2 understand how much max ISO u can use, how slow ur hand can handle the shutter, how much deph of focus u need then only u can improve faster..this is all basic.. ur sky photo will b nicer if darker, ur drum photo will b nice if shutter 1/60 and try move around more when shot event and try 2 snap more of the same obeject from different angle...if u wanna c how 2 get propper exposure n w/b for indoor event, try refer to reon thread...u wan portrait of pretty girls try find shinchan if u wan macro u can ask me oso but we can only show u photo on our topic, it depends on u how much u can learn...
