ND filter is something that is not needed most of the time.
but when you do need it, you wished you had one .
same goes for CPL filter, dun need it until you do and then you will be wondering why did not get one.

from my experience its better to use ok ok grade ND filter (fotga / K&F / kenkp) than closing down your aperture to f22 or even f32.
most of the time at f22 it is still not enough to take long exposure of 1/2 sec.

dun get me wrong at f22 pics will still look good until you pixel peep.

this problem will be compounded more if you use a camera with big megapixels ---------> incubus_skj 47MP SR1

blast from the past.
there is actually a filter during the film days to make your picture look soft.
they called it a soft effect filter.
surprisingly they still do make and sell them until today.

cant remember anyone actually using them now or even owning one.

no filter


with filter


the filter has something like water droplet on it

the crowd was good but very pocketed, cause mostly the supporters / competitors only focused on their own sections (pokemon / PUBG / AutoChess / FIFA & PES / fighting games section)

since it's a first time for us in pg, next time will know what to plan on the various sections liao i guess

gamers like tat one.
they mostly stick to their own games community.

from the pics on the internet the reception seems to be very good considering clash with mid-autumn festival.

Yeah so have to do more for every sections liao next time so each gets more to do in their own section

Some photos from PoPo Hot Pot at The Hub SS2.
