yeah very no song that place when i go there and buy that time. They thought that I didnt do my homework before i go and ask for the real price even my bro warned me about that place

there's one way where u strap your hand along with the camera strap to make a firm grip. It's inspired by those sharpshooter's aiming style.

Other tips: get used to ur 30D's weight lo, and practice practice practice.

Please advice

all the sifu busy arrrr?

are you trying to show the nice part of this gift? then you should shoot closer to the subject... and try to use some lighting effect as well.

ya.. trying to show the nice part, i tried to go closer.. but my lens cannot focus, since my lens is not macro lens.. thats the closest i can go already.. im using flash.

then time to get a macro lens. the thing with the picture is that it feels like a snapshot. take time to compose, try different angles, play with the settings. good luck!

oh okay, thanks.. btw, can you explain to me in details how to compose a pic? i dun really understand.

it's quite hard to explain, there arent a set of rules to it. follow your feeling. it's just that those two pics felt like it was taken simply, no thought towards framing,etc..

google composition up and u should get some useful tips or even lyn's tutorial page got some good sites. if u havent read up on rules of thirds, i suggest u do.

Get a tripod. Shoot further but zoom in more. Don't use the flash to get in as much natural light. Up the exposure a bit.

thanks alot for letting me know about the Rule of thirds.. i just knew about it.

thanks alot too.. i'll use my 55-200mm and zoom in next time.

use your creativity..your imagination for compo..
takes few shot of you subject..few angles..different lightning effect

not by shooting 2 or 3 picture then enough already..you end up like something you show us here..its like easly been taken by a camera phone just to show the stuff

thank you very much that'll will really help me in my photography.

Hehe, that's a tough comment though, but nonetheless is a good advice...

marX, did you change the resolution? or quality? because i'm considering d40 as well, but when i see the pics, there's no distinct line that i really want. perhaps my standard is to high for d40? maybe i should go for something higher? please advice people

yes, i resized all my images to 800x600 before i upload it into the forum, resizing it may have affected the quality.. never the less, you shouldnt judge the d40 from my pics alone.. coz i may not be the best photographer out there.. maybe you should google up for some reviews..
