The reason was for pics no 2,3, n 4 the models were standing at the stand above us, so there nothing much i can do as well as the other photographers.

Cant say chin chai shot, the reason is as models are changing pose and position constantly, u have to be quick to get good shots. I only chopped pic no 2.

I was the only dude with a D40 that time while the rest were using D70, D50,D80, D2X and various canon dslr models. I even saw one dude with d40x.

Nah, i bet they even more happier if they were taken shots by shinchan n u

Perhaps, coz i still new in photography. Beside practising my 50mm, i need to work on my composition as well. But i need to know how to improve composition in portraits, apart of the 3 quarter rule?

Personally i prefer taking landscape and sight seing, esp urban life. Unfortunately ppl tend not to comment on such pics until i posted portrait. Well dont worry, after this i back to landscape photography, continuing my pics from my old hometown port dickson.

Thanks, more to come soon!

Seriously i need advise on how to improve my composition for portraits, apart from the 3 quarter rule. Pls advise.

Youa re absolutely right. D40 dont have auto focus for AF lens, that explains why i found diffculty on focusing. Unless if the subject is standing still, the image uqality should be good. That explains why my previous trip to BTS was a disaster.

The next PC Fair i estimate is on August, and since most promoters are standing stationary, it will be my good oppurtunity to use my 50mm. Dont worry, we will make a "rombongan sambil belajar", ok? (belajar improve photographylah )

1ST, i need to learn my manual focus.

1. Yes Boss!
2. My last pc fair pics suffered frm slighty higher shutter speed, so lesson learnt!
3. Can see those minyak from my previous PC fair pics as well, so may consider investing for SB600 or SB400 in the near future.
4. I enabled auto ISO for that. Useful featured i felt
5. Dont really get it, but hope i realised what u meant.

Thank u sifu!

Point taken!

Hei its been a while. I used kit lens with hood.

Pic no 3 suffered from lack of flash. Focusing is a tricky business for D40 as it has only 3 focus points, unlike Canon which has multiple of that.

Anyway thanks for ur feedbacks. Glad i taken pic of Juin quite well. Ohh Juin!!!

My fren who has taken my pics from bangkok thailand, which i posted here a couple of months back and create a great collage of it. Might wanted to share the collage of Chatuchak market.

Thanks alot for ur comments. I somehow felt landscape pics are harder to take compared to potrait shots from my previous series. The problem is i was using kit lens which might lampered some of the shots here. A 55-200 should be on my hands, hopefully soon.

Looks like i need to plan another photography trip to pd, hopefully i will improve then.

PC FAIR KLCC AUG 2007
