hmmm... colour and contrast and skintone... how do i have a consistency of those? i mean like i'll use different WB in different halls. different ISO in different light situations. Im using contrast +2, sharpness +2, saturation +2, and color tone +1 parameter. Is there something wrong with that? i noticed that if i dun use this parameter, i'll have to pp a lot. A few WB tweaks and brightness are done with those pictures, din use any photoshop tools. So i really would like to know how do i control colour, contrast, skintone with the camera besides using WB.

For me, i dont like warm pictures, so for the grandballroom, tungsten WB is used for the pictures. For some of them, i used fluorescent, and rarely AWB.

Thanks for ur comment, would appreciate if u can explain more. Thank you.

Shooting at 1/50 is nothing. Im only using the 1/lens' mm rule as im using 50mm lens. 

Anyway, thank you for ur compliment.

Actually im quite dissappointed with my batch of pictures, coz im using ISO1600. I DO NOT LIKE TO USE above ISO 400, coz the pictures will lose a lot of details. I bought a flash that week, i have learnt using it before going to pc fair, tried a lot of experimental shots, but still i failed to use it in the pc fair. And also one thing, i dun have my diffusser, coz i just got the flash. LOL. AND one more thing. i dun like pictures which show that flash is obviously being used(having dark backgrounds and harsh light on the face). So that is why i ended up shooting at ISO1600. ><

Frankly speaking... PC Fair 3 was rather boring.
- the promoters are too "aggressive" and I could not browse and choose the the stuffs.

- the models are very "funny"... some of them refused to pose at all, most of them covered their bodies with huge leaflets.... so, what is the point if they are are wearing nice, pretty and sexy dress if in the end they were reluctant... i think the organizers should get more open-&-crazy-posing-minded models.... it's is funny when we get these photos online or publish in the newspapers....

High iso resulting high level of noise
maybe u can try bounce flash, but not direct flash.

with bounce flash,solve all ur problem (noise,wb etc)

High ISO w/o using a flashgun is dangerous as this will resulting on a noisy photos. Personally, i only use ISO1600 depending on situations. Later in my TXN shots i will explain when i use ISO1600.

Also on WB, i learnt that the best policy is just to use back auto. Play around with the exposure meter is more important than the WB. Just my 2nd cents

WB is as much part of the important elements to your photos' exposure. dun believe me, try to make your wb off in your next shooting. It wouldn't matter how well you meter your photo if your wb is off.

The last 2 pics are lovely, nice sky and moon!

wah... sharp and colourful photo.....
