You should try shooting with light painting instead, way easier to create a soft diffused light using just one continuous light + softbox. But can't freeze the droplets la

would definitely prefer light painting, way easier to setup and less things to go wrong. the biggest weakness would be finding a location that's dark enough.

not to say strobes are bad, but to me its a lot more complicated. shoot at kampar or?

depends on what kind of lighting you want, there are shots where people leave bright strokes on the car to highlight the shape of the vehicle and there are shots where people try to diffuse the light, both will work but you have to understand the car well enough to decide which method to use. and if your aim is diffused light, just attach a softbox/ shoot through umbrella in front of the light source.

not a bad shot actually, but as you can see with strobes it is very easy to have hot spots and uneven gradients across the car since they are not lit evenly.

i think you are referring to rolling shot right? not that hard to scout locations imo since it will not be the main focus most of the time, any open road with little vehicles and street lamps/ electric posts will be enough to practice. i think i saw quite some roads in kampar that fits well.

d7k i would say around 1.3k-1.5k if the condition is quite good.

im interested in the 16-85mm but currently broke

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

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

one of those small exits that you see along the main road from kampar to tualang

but to go in by walking will be quite tiring since its quite far from the main road.

no more spidar?

always find flowers beautiful in real life but extremely hard to be captured interestingly.

try Garage Sales? So far I've been trading there for a few years without any problems.

i until now still haven't join

as someone who went from Canon > Olympus > Nikon, the IQ is going to be pretty disappointing to be honest. had the em10 last time and the DR/ ISO performance isn't even close to my current d7000 at all, as i got them both about the same price.

the IBIS is lovely though.

interested with the cam too, but doesn't look like its going to do well here ( look at how fast Sony RX100 and Canon g7x launches in comparison). Nikon probably gave up.

The power of FF





Thanks to DS_Legacy for the poison

yeap sigma 150mm f2.8

so its forever f2.8?

ohh, luckily not f22 all the time

at least still usable for most shootings.

New shots

1. Batu Ferringhi beach

2. haha quite heavy PP was done. basically some minor HDR (used luminosity masking technique) and also dodge/ burn in certain areas.

does the camera ever got marketed? i thought it was stuck at development stage.

not to forget that they don't really put any improvement into making a new Coolpix A anymore.

"If you've been patiently awaiting the release of the Nikon DL18-50 since it was first announced in February 2016, your wait is unfortunately over. Just days shy of the first anniversary of the DL18-50's announcement, Nikon has now officially revealed that the camera will not reach the market due to issues the company has encountered with its image processor coupled with soaring development costs and a market that's been continuing to slow down."

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/niko...on-dl18-50A.HTM

"A June, 2016 release was originally planned for the DL series. However, with the identification of issues with the integrated circuit for image processing, release of the three cameras was delayed indeterminately.

Since then, everyone involved has worked very hard to develop products with which our customers will be satisfied. However, it has been decided that sales of the DL series will be canceled due to concerns regarding their profitability considering the increase in development costs, and the drop in the number of expected sales due to the slow-down of the market."

only a few units of pre-production prototype for testing not considered as development stage? they did admit the camera wasn't ready for launching too.



i actually liked the coolpix A as a camera, it looks like a fun little camera, although i never get to try one (they are so rare anyways). but yeah, the pricing was way too ambitious, even more expensive than the fuji x100s iinm?

Finally get to shoot portrait after a long time
