Not really.

I think I was either in AV mode or M mode, don't quite remember. I did not use Auto mode during the whole trip.

Few more shots from Perhentian Island, my FIRST outing with my FIRST DSLR.













Comments and critics welcomed

ok...ex 400D user wanna comments...lol

1. picture nice already..everything just blue...but senget

2. nice nice...blue skies...

3. lol...abit blur? or just me?

4. should fit all of them in the frame...shouldnt cut their hands and head like that

5. lao...what is this...got rubbish somemore

6. dark

pic 5 should've focused on the girl and let the sand be oof. imo

Pic no 2 is commendable, although ur angle abit senget otherwise it will be a fantastic pic.

Pic no 3 will be better if u take it as a wide angle shot.

only pic #2 is nice IMO best among the lot BY FAR. too bad it's slightly off cos if it was symmetrical then it'll be great.

#1 decent, lop-sided.
#3 normal
#4 could be better
#5 focus on the bright part, not the dark part.
#6 normal

1st pic would be nice but it felt like it's not wide enough.

time to get EFs 10-22mm

Thank you, will try to improve on that

Erm, actually I wanted to capture the texture of the sand, guess I failed

I held the camera for 2 days straight, which is why my hand senget already

Thanks for your comments, hope I'll have improvements in time to come.

Hahah wallet still bleeding, been spending too much already. Let me recover first

Trying the Macro





Comments please

Are you using manual focus or auto?
looks a little off to me =P

Autofocus.

My last 2 pictures from Perhentian Island

Comments are most welcomed

your locks pictures composition is good, but i think its underexposed...

Interesting composition but like beck said..they look underexposed.

The Sony Ericsson shots seems very dark. I expected the silver to look shinier compared to the black background. Wait..is there even such a word as shinier?

Thanks guys for the comment, will try to improve.

Here's one shot.

if this was a promo advert shots for a certain company (by the logo on teh side of the car), then its a great shot. but if its a shot of the car itself, should use smaller aperture setting, f2.8 maybe, at least, a big portion of the toy car will see clearly...

in my honoust opinion lah.. i'm newbie as well...

and another thing, ur other pics, like the island, the colors really like not canon usual colors. i think ur camera setting is off a bit...
or i think u r using picture style?

Er, I'm using kit lens, I don't think I can go down to 2.8, the max was 3.5

Erm those pictures went through post-processing, I like my pictures to be of a little contrasting Canon 400D colors are washed out so I suppose post-processing is a must

my bad... told u, i'm a newbie as well... thought u were using f1.8... that measn u crop a lot of ur picture...

Not really a lot, but when I'm taking a picture I'll first visualise which part I will want to crop out and make space to compromise it
