1 thing i shd say..the m'sia marriage certicate is suk~..it spoilt the wedding pic veiwing mood..

compare to s'pore...the marriage cert is far more prettier...

very 'soft' indeed..

like the 1st pic very much... mind sharing wad u did wit it in photoshop to get tht effect???

No matter what, you still need to register your marriage in Malaysia to be legal. What you can do is to register all over the world including Malaysia.


I used a noise removal plug-in to produce the softness in the pictures.

2nd that
soft soft feel

Just wanna induce the mood that marriage is a very relaxing and happy moment. No need to be so sharp and harsh.

Maybe I did too much softening. Will try to reduce the softness a bit next time.

Good Series there...
Soft feel baru got smooth faces...

Not necessary la... the soft effect very pleasing, just like a Gaussian blur through PS, sometimes portrait looked great with softness too... NICE!

Nice... This shows that even with Prosumer camera oso can produce great wedding pictures..correct anot CompMac?

Nonit to get intimidated by guys in Big Lenses and Big SLR's and loud Mechanical click

You really know what is the meaning of my thread.

My camera also can click one, just off the shutter sound and you will hear the mechanical click.

I just wanna show people that it is the person behind the camera that is more important than the gears. However, there will always be limitations on prosumers that only dSLRs can handle.

I'm on my path towards that (Olympus E-510 ) but need vitamin M lor.

Thanks for viewing the pictures.

I don't see there is a purpose to emphasis a non-DSLR can peform the same or better than a DSLR, this is only make you relief that you are not drop behind by other people.

No matter how good the photographer is, the hardware limit still cannot be changed, the difference is whether you HAVE FULLY UTILIZE your camera.

However, Compmac has shown his talent and use his prosumer well, his pic tells us that don't blame your camera if you cannot take a good picture.

Lol..that 1 so soft.. Need super quiet enviroment lar

I dont know about you but 1 thing i face with mine is.. Dynamic rance too Narrow.. Picture Clips too easily..

Well, dynamic range is also an issue with prosumers. You can however use exposure bracketing or take a few pictures with different spot exposure and do HDR in Photoshop. A lot of work but the outcome will be dSLR quality, if not better.

Hmm..HDR eh..need to try on that..
so thats 1 way of solving it eh?

wat I do now is I Drop the Exp. Compensation lvl a few stops..and use photoshop to readjust the contrast and Lvl.

CompMac, can guide me a lil bit on how to snap a nice pic of urs? those flower pictures are superb nice..!! more zoom will make the pic blur??

I guess the only way to increase dynamic range is HDR. Even dSLRs need to use HDR to increase its picture's dynamic range. Hardware already fixed.

You can adjust the curves in Photoshop to create a more dynamic picture.


To have more bokeh (blurred background), you can either use the Super Macro Mode or more zoom at small f number. For flower pictures, don't be afraid to get close to them. Squat, lie down, kneel, or whatever, just get the composition that you want to take. Don't be afraid to be dirty or might damage the camera.

Try to work with the light that you have. Photography is about the manipulation of light. A bright sunlit object will always have the best effect. Only when you don't have enough the flash is used.

Always hold your breath when pressing the shutter button to avoid hand shake. Try to use the viewfinder and press against your face for a more stable hold than depending on the LCD display. It is also good practice should you go on to using a dSLR.

Hope this helps. Do practice more and post more for us to comment. We are all learning everyday.

i always do that.. i rather go closer to the flower than to zoom it.. i thought zoom will give blurrer pic..

i will try it tomorrow according ur guidance above.. hope i got what u mean

:yawn:
