Pic no 7 & 10 is a beauty, which shows how a DSLR different from a normal prosumer or p&s cams. But pic no 8-9 looks alittle senget (the wheel's angle was not linear) so that why it didnt appeal me.

the first few shots work on the composition...the model should not be blocking the eye on msia...last few pics very nice...

thanks for the advice will take care of the misstake for pic 8 and 9,
actually pic10 reference other photographers who shot eye on malaysia..


thank you.

N7-10 are nice... I like the angle you shot for N8,9. At least it's diff from the others... Good try.

thanks for the comments.

actualy most photographers wont go to that place where i took pic #8 & #9 is because that place is crowded with ppl.. i reached there quite late to shoot the fireworks, so decided to join the crowd n set up my camera there..

just found out that my setting for the fireworks went all wrong, saw some expert reviewing that shooting the firework should put low iso (for example 100 or 200) but i put up until the max 1600 for my camera just to make my expose short.. acording to the experts the shutter speed should be around 3sec to 5sec..

hehe if got chance my next try will be the firework competition at putrajaya..

Eye on Malaysia

sometin good for ur reference
firework on eye on malaysia

3-5 secs to get that bunga look mar...

wow thanks soulmad wat a wonderful good stuff u shared out there, the firework shots is much more better than mine..

Added on August 12, 2007, 11:51 pmhi orenzai, the bunga api look u mention up there is it the one that soulmad share out? but with the light condition of the eye on malaysia the time i took that pic, the longer the exposure, wouldnt the eye on malaysia just look like a piece of big white circle onli???

i cant see what soul mad showed...it says error...but yeah..i meant for the fireworks..not other moving object... the gundams... i think need adjust lighting a bit for the first and second...

aiyo the gundam at least do lining first la
but i like ur watermark
photo by X

yaya the lighting problem, planning to get one external flash say 430ex. the internal flash not that flexible, cause shoot directly to the subject nia and cannot change the angle for the flash to fire....

Added on August 13, 2007, 2:06 pmhehe still new in photography shooting, can advice what is lining?? thanks in advance first

about the gundam one..
picture not sharp enough...
need to invest more on lightings
hehe

other than that...u got lots of room to improve
keep posting

u mean invest on the external flash??
hehe no $$$$ currently, hope can recruit 430ex to the team

anyone here using 430ex? satisfied? or got many problem with 430ex?

nah...not external flash
just some proper lighting would be nice

if u use flash only, u can see a harsh shadow behind the subject
but u couple it with a few light/soft light/diffuse...u can get a soft shadows/bright background/etc
anyhow..it still depends on how u like the background to be...

like u, i also experimenting on lighting position
sama sama belajar

btw, my lighting involves some table lamp, white paper/plastic cup as diffuser, card board as background
no $$$ mah....

Added on August 13, 2007, 4:51 pmhehe the way i used to shoot my GUNDAM:

1. my room
2. seal my windows with newspapers so dat no light coming in
3. just use internal built in flash only (no other light sources at all)..
4. place GUNDAM about 1.5m away from the white colour wall(didnt used card board as background), so dat the background looks black..

shoot shoot then pening hahahaha rest awhile then shoot again.. hahahha

will try other lighting next time..
