Hello.

I've owned a Canon IXUS 65 compact camera for about 9 months (which I hardly use), and god knows why, I suddenly bought a Canon 400D for myself

So yeah, my gallery will consist of pictures from my Canon 400D which I just bought today.

I'm totally new to photography, let alone DSLR, so please give face when bashing ok?

Since it's my first entry, I can only post one picture. No time to play with it yet




Anyway, I'll be going to Perhentian Island tomorrow, hopefully I can get back with some DECENT and PRESENTABLE shots!

Hello guys.

I just got back from Perhentian.

Anyway, I'll just upload one photo for now as I'm in the office, no time to upload many.

Will do so when I am home

No worries. I take criticisms well

Thank you for the comment.

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

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

Autofocus.

My last 2 pictures from Perhentian Island

Comments are most welcomed

Thanks guys for the comment, will try to improve.

Here's one shot.

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

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

New pictures!!!



My first attempt with Light Graffiti!





Comments and critiques welcomed!

I used the led light from my phone

No, those contrasted pictures were done during post-processing. I guess I prefer darker and more contrasting pictures, personal taste I suppose

Thanks for the comment and maybe I'll try a different way next time.

Thank you, will try to use light graffiti to draw some pictures tonight, hope I can do it within 30 seconds
