Just called Eava ... Indeed young sweet voice. Want angry also cannot She said my 35mm is in the process, but my 16mm still not yet. Funny thing is my 16mm bought in July, but 35mm bought in August and yet 35mm being process first. Seems like I need to wait another 2 weeks ++ will try call again next week to chase her (ahem.. them)...

Hey guys, thought it's be useful to share here about this CHEAP variable ND filter that I just bought and tried. Recommended for beginners (like me) to extend your creativity, also to explore and play around with VND before going for the high-end ones

I bought it for RM70 from here for my 56mm: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2770214

You can actually use Electronic Shutter mode and shoot at wide open. It can shoot up to 1/32000s.
Can try using your ND filter and create motion blur effect.

What kinda chase... Don't gatal yo..

Unfortunately budget shooters like me who's using X-M1 don't have the electronic shutter feature

Time to upgrade.

Good shot. But have to becareful with spot metering when shooting with overexposed background cause it is hard to bring the detail back post process.

Hi guys, I just found two videos showing off-cam HSS for Fuji X-T1 (hopefully will work for X-T2 too). Any of you guys know where can get the Cactus V6 II trigger? Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this would be a cheaper option than the upcoming EF-X500?

Is d 3rd party battery viloso good to get? Will it affect much of the camera performance n d camera system?

i've been using other brands ; phottix and wasabi (about 2 years already). so far never encounter any problem

Just wanted to share a shot I took a while back.. Loving the 23mm <3

Graduated Filter? Probably not the best use if got a lot of clouds and mountains. Otherwise good shot.

Nop, the clouds were dark that day, rained after

Well, either that or the HDR is a little strong. The mountain top on the left got dark clipping and halo to it. Basically either fix the top part or dial it (whatever adjustment you did) down a little. Otherwise the composition is good and beautiful scene.

Tried a shot in puchong late last night 1130pm. Lol.

And tried my new 35mm just gotten from @kelvnling. Love the new lens and good service from him.
