interesting
must have fast lense to capture those moments
nice pic there


more for me to learn
hehhe

was not using a fast lens, the trick is to get the subject in direct sunlight, so ur shutter speed can be increased


Picture BUMP

Emotional

your D80 did great capturing those high speed movements (or was it becoz of ur skills?), but i do wonder if D80 can capture similar things in low light environment, say in bowling alley?

Off topic : your thread make me hold my planned D40 purchase for a moment...saw too many ppl upgrading from D40/D40x already this few months...

Hi all,

Giving a web fix


Web Wrap its prey


Munching it's food


Enjoy

nice ora..

using ur 70-300 +4??

thanks
yup, just using my tele alone. no close up filters attached, the spidey was like a size of a palm in the rainforest.
if i would go close, i might be dead by now

BUMP for new pics:
Went to putrajaya for some architectural shots.

When you're out there with just 50mm and a tele, go abstract
my next wishlist will be a 10.5 f2.8 Fisheye lens to do Ultrawides

since u have good abstract shoots, why not give 18-70 f3.5-4.5 a shot... sure get better wideangle abstract shots... rather than jumping gun straight to 10.5 fish eye...

nice shots on the spidey man but i cant help to notice why the web is in those yellowish cast?

The one on the wawasan birdge is spectacular! However i prefer u to take an wide angle shot of the Justice dept of Putrajaya, i bet it will be spectacular.

Wide angle using a 18-70mm lens? His D80 kit should already come with the 18-135mm lens.

I think he bought the body only without the kit lens

last time when i had the d40 kit, the kit lens was 18-55... its a good lens.. but i prefer to get a fast lens f2.8 or below


good question... most probably might be the higlights on the web from natural lighting of the rainforest or.. might be due to my warming 81A filter on the tele....

yes... wide shot would be splendid.. but i only hav a 50mm and tele wit me tat time

yea, d80 kit is 18-135... but i bought just the body only. i dun really wanna use the kit lens anyway in the near future.
i'm still contemplating on 10-20 sigma or 10.5 fisheye f2.8 nikon lens... but i favour more the 10.5mm fisheye as its a fast lens

Quite a number of them are due to camera shake. The macro must be handheld, looks sharp when shrunk, but it's sorta blur in larger or original size.

I love everything from the sentosa island. You definitely need faster lenses, VR can only do you so much good.
Get the tokina 12-24mm f4, it is pretty much a pentax lens that run 3 X more than the tokina. You don't really see many fast ultra wide zoom around since they are mostly use for landscape/architecture where you stop the lens down to get an overall sharp picture anyway, and during night time, tripod is the way to go. I like most of the compositions, you are just missing the equipments now.

nice...
love the Twirls of Seri Wawasan Bridge so much
kinda like twisting the bridge or something like that
too bad cant snap the same thing for penang bridge

i agree with you... i'm missing the equipments now... starting to move towards fast lenses and thinking of a monopod or tripod to keep me more steady.

come to KL for an overnite trip, and you can shoot it . i'm not from KL as well. from all the way down south JB

ahhh... that explains alot

Been away lately, mainly bcoz my cam is out of order and sent to Nikon service center for repair.
Will only pick it up end of the month and will purchase a tamron 17-50 f2.8 for upcoming wedding assignments.
Its been very boring lately for me. Today I tried to do some tribal art ink tattoo on my gf's hand and used her D70s to capture the art with my prime 50mm
Will try to make one new design per week if possible
