g88 ah? well doesn't matter. yeah you have nice compositions. DSLR then you can play more stuff.

heed this advice well, for me next week another 4 digits gone.

thank you. i still lack a proper macro lens, this 70-300mm's macro shots are 1:2 only.

which picture?

anyway all the pictures are choosen are the sharp already. after resize, apply sharpen filter again cos you know la resizing pixels joined and all.

thank you.

btw you guys know that the picture set starts from Page 4, right?

Are those pics from the Tamron 70-300? Mind sharing the Exif? Would like to know the capability of the lens for indoor shooting as i'm thinking to get one

goldfries...
ur shots damn nice la he bokeh...
can i know what lens u using?

wah eh you quoted the album that i find i did my worst la.

btw which shot you referring to?

yes, they're taken using Tamron 70-300mm. from what i gathered so far, the Sigma 70-300mm is better.

thank you.

i only have 3 lens so far. 18-55 canon kit lens + 70-300mm tamron + 50mm f1.8 canon prime lens.

the 1U fashion show is 70-300m tamron normal mode. flowers, 70-300mm tamron on macro mode. midvalley fashion show is mix of 70-300mm tamron and 50mm f1.8 canon.

This 2





Those are the best in terms of sharpness

Or any exif for pics that you zoomed beyond 200mm or max tele at 300mm

PIC #1
1/160, F5.6, 70mm, ISO800. WB auto (that's why yelllowish)

PIC #2
1/125, F5.6, 259mm, ISO800. WB auto (that's why yelllowish)

those pics resized then PP on sharpness a bit. IMO they're not as sharp as my other pics, after all those that you quoted are my 1st DSLR outing. subsequent ones are better, and i rarely zoom at full 300mm because i use hand, no IS / VR / SR whatever you call those anti-shake tech.

the only time i always zoom 300mm is when shooting moon. that also not that clear on the moon's details (not telescope).

Thanks for sharing. I'm a newbie myself. Pic #2 thou only 1/125 @ 259mm, but for me, the pic is quiet sharp. Personally, i would prefer the Auto WB for the warm colour rather than the Tungsten WB which will turn the pic bluish (my taste lar).

glad ya like it!! yeah it's preference, depends on what you want out of the picture.

some times yellowish tinge does make it feel nicer.

arh ha! photographing is my favourite part. I'm a user of 5D. I shot mostly on landscape. Well, to decide if a photo is well exposed or not, you must always refer to the histrogram. Check www.dpreview.com for more info on photographing. I've been selling my photos at google and if you are interested go take a look.

i like your photos...good work...

the rest are at http://www.goldfries.com/inperson/

very nice pictures from goldfries!

Wow, i see paintball shot out from the gun....
Nice one.

woa...nice dude... last shot somemore can see the paintball kena smth and burst...haha...

thanks guys.

from now onwards i'll only highlight a few and the rest are on my website.

this way, at least you're not FORCED to load them pictures.

eventhough i am a noob in photographing.. i do enjoy viewing ur photo!! nice shoot !!

You're inside the field during the paintball competition and snapping pics? Salute you laaa...~

yeah,.. u did shoot from inside the compound?? that was brave.. nice action-packed photos..

yup. i was in the field.

this was my 2nd time shooting in the field.

first time was when a family from NY was playing. i got hit then but luckily those were house-markers (a.k.a. the gun given by the paintball company la)

so this trip was 2nd time, this time it's PRO players using guns that were more expensive than my camera + lens. and yeah i got a few hits. the blue-black on my thigh is still there.

the tricky part is you're using DSLR but you can't get close to view-finder cos you're wearing a mask.

the eye is easily 3 - 5 cm away from view-finder. you also have to understand the game and read the game to get good shots, and yeah, you have to learn to tolerate the pain. this part a bit creepy, i'm still learning to tolerate the pain.

cool man. i played paitball few times before, but to shoot photos from INSIDE the playing area is something that i'd give second thought.. hehe. U know, the pain is ok, but if the camera got hit, that's the REAL pain!! hahaha..
