im letting go a 50mm prime also...
NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 50MM F/1.8G

Anyone interested here?

when you are in uni and you have expensive hobbies (i blame biking)

For me I think between flash vs continuous light vs light painting each has its on pros & cons. In theory in my head continuous light is best as you can see the reflections and shadows as you adjust your product placement.

Flash itself is tricky and very time consuming to setup. Things like bard doors, snoot even ND filters all need to be available to shape the light.

lightpainting is good but location and post is abit daunting for me.

well just take note and do better. we are all always learning and improving. as long as dont give up, should be no issue

Few years back when I was in the mood of photography. I took nearly 40 mins to setup a lighting for one shot using 5 speedlite used 3 nikon and 2 canons https://flic.kr/p/nyq5RK. as long as we are satisfied. end of the day its how close you can get the image to the image in your head, should be golden

replying to register my interest sir

anyway for ur reference http://kldslr.com/Used-List

Thanks for the valuable advice man, good to have an input from a pro
Well, we do have some studio continuous lights, but need sockets haha, so its pretty much impossible for us for outdoor shoots

I guess in the meantime I can just stick to the gears I have and make the best of it haha
Thanks again for the encouragement, hopefully one day will be as good as you guys

Hi, Nikon users, does anyone or any of your friends that previously own a Nikon DF that probably has been stolen ?

I am about to buy a used unit, beforehand, I would like to know if that unit is

*Authentic* (Not stolen). I have the serial number of the camera, if its stolen, the seller is stupid enough to reveal it to me.

Hai everyone, anyone know can we use this multi charger to charge Nikon D60 battery? my original charger is messed up cannot charge anymore, can suggest a thiird party charger, my convocation is around the corner and i need to charge this old camera..

thanks

repost hehe

too bad I have another shooting appointment tonight, enjoy guys

v1+ konica 50mm f/1.4

how much are you releasing for 35mm and sb600?

PMed.

shoot where?


just one thing tho.. i noticed focus point is somewhere on the cheek/neck..
its understandable since we like trained to find high contrast are to lock focus?
but i recently read anyhow portrait must focus on the eye. profile - eye, sides - near eye.
esp with very shallow dof.. to me its vr hard to do

Shallow DoF? You buy the 105mm F1.4?

no la.. even with 50mm 1.8 if i lock focus at nose vs right in the eye can see the diff

As a strobist myself - the above is correct.

Flash you can't see it until you fired the shot, and your eyes can't tell you what it is.

Only your camera can tell.

Continuous lights on the other hand you get to know everything from your eyes.

BUT to get continuous lights that give you the same amount of output like a flash -

1. costly
2. power hungry

Even the portable ones come with battery packs that you have to lug along, they won't be light. Those lights won't be light either.

Carrying 3 flash with 3 stand is very different from carrying 3 of those continuous lights with stands (huge!) and battery packs.

Its awesome when you get to combine your favorite hobbies together (mountain biking and photography)
