Yea thats what I think too. So I'm giving myself till end of the year the earliest to get a DSLR (bonus time maaa...) Hehe.. Anyway I don't mind kena cucuk lah Thats how I can learn

Thanks for your advice!!

well good luck in ur progression...but i felt so wasted for ur IXUS950...quite new model rite? lol no offence...
good la ur workin...can get loan by credit card...for students like me, getting a DSLR is a few yr plan ahead for me...still using my old faithful S9500 though

kena cucuk baru boleh improve mar...look at my thread...kena cucuk 3 pages...lolz...haha...

Just took these pics today, again took hundreds of them and selected a few nice ones... Thanks in advance for all comments!!

i guess you were exaggerating lar...where got shoot hundreds baru choose 6...lolz...the shot of the worm seems nice...overall your shots have to be edited a bit...coz lack of saturation and contrast also...haha...oh ya...the orange flower...my house outside got also

those pics are pretty impressive considering you are using PNS...nicely capture ^^

Thanks!! Will take more and post again later.. Need to experiment more Will leave editing out for the moment, wanna concentrate on taking shots first..

Civic, if you enjoy taking flora, read through the following articles:

The limitation is not usually the camera, but the photographer.

Check out these photos too:

Thanks!! Great photos and write up! Got to go to work now, read them later at office and try it later!! Haha..

kena cucuk is the one way to improve, but yourself need to filter out which one is valid....

civic98, i suggest you find a shooting gang, and you will learn more faster when you see your friends shoot with different angle, setting, lighting.... on the same subject that you also took.

agree with you actually...
i got post some photo at other forum..
they cucuk me with unreasonable comments...

ya... is better to get a shooting gang and learn with each other...

Hmmm I could, but kinda difficult due to the nature of my work and location.. Well at the moment, just experimenting myself.. Learned a new thing today from kelvinyam's recommended website, since I can't control much with a P&S, I discovered I could get a better bokeh with a little digital zoom on macro shooting.. Haven't had the chance to try out (bad weather today), in the mean time, here are some other pics took earlier today..

not bad about the spider web
got any other angle snapping the web ar?
else u can try to shoot with diff angle next time...cos too much light on the right side (just my opinion)

Thanks!! As a matter of fact I did (took over 50 pics just with this spider), just that there were other "distractions" in the pic, so didn't post it. But here it is...

hmm...quite different then first spider web..
dont know y i prefer 2nd pic...

anyway..since we r both using pns camera, we need to emphasize on our composition...
keep snapping n posting..one day, ur photo will look better than my photos
