Good composition and uniformity ... keep up the good work! (Psst! Dun over-sharpen your image )

Not bad. Good composition. Some overexposure on #6 and some underexposure on #7.

i like the strawberry and pic 6

grand and nice...

I like the composition for pic 6. Only thing is that the clouds at the top is overexposed but then if you did compensate for the overexposure, the leaves may look too dull and dark. But if you shoot RAW shouldn't have a problem.

Time to get that CPL filter eh? and throw in a couple ND and ND grad filters should do the trick

number 4 is nice!

but really really overly sharpened

Thanks for all valuable comments.

All pictures posted here are as it taken, without any post editing (well, except some cropping).. So does "sharpened" here means I am too "focus" on the main object..and should softened a bit..by decrease the depth? Thanks for advise...

yeap..is time to change to Raw..any good software u have use to convert RAW to JPEG? I have used GIMP with RAW plugin to convert my RAW to JPEG, but I always facing problem of losing "picture original form" after the conversion, especially loose of colors, and other problem, should I invest for Photoshop CS3 now?

Well Nikon Picture Project lets you export the *.NEF files to JPEG and you can do a mass export as well with the software.

#2 - not interesting enough
#6 - overexposed
#7 - underexposed

other pics are great. i like #3 & #4 most.

pic 4, n pic 5 got nice compo
pic 7 got nice bokeh
keep posting

bokeh all very nice lar...all photos better than mine :sob: but pic 4...as they said...over-sharpened...

On ur models shoot, ur WB really out leh. Compo all went out exception for pic no 4.

But i really do like ur last pic, kids these days

Yeap, admit is not my best shoot..
I carry D40 with kit lens, and have to fight 50++ peoples, all with super "keng" zooms lens, and big flash gun, can't control the lighthings at all
time to upgrade my lens...

What you need is better WB knowledge, nothing to do with more expensive gear. Try swapping gears and see? Without knowledge you still get back crap.

This may be a dump question, what is WB? and does rule of third still applicable when shooting model on stage, or I should aim my subject to central?

Thanks for advise!

WB = White Balance

During that environment;
no Flash fired AWB = Very Warm
no FLash fired TungSten = Very blue ( due to the flashes of the other photographers
it was hard to control the WB though

btw u didnt get a good spot though

LoL... I hv no Tele Lens no chair and ladder... Go there picnic???

Drink Apple Juice and eat jelly beans better

Great.. go back taman bukit jalil picnic.. invite 'kit shorter' together.. diff brands of camera forum.. sharp sharp

i was holding only 18-55 and only internal flash go for many events... but yet i never complaint about my gears.. the only thing i complaint is how i wanna get a good composition...

kensim00.. next time we bring one cloth and some sandwich... we sit there picnic, watch the crowd and hear the symphony orchestra of shutter sounds...

One piece of cloth mana cukup.. make it enough to fit a TT session.. all standing on that piece of cloth and keep shooting each other's faces, who's out of the line then considered lose, and gotta give up his/her gears for the final winner.

Good idea, let's guess which is Canon, which is Nikon, which is Oly and which is Sony

macam dulu..can diff the engine sound of daihatsu, mitsu, suzuki ...
great..

haha.. why don we guess which brand + contestant out 1st, then that gear will follow the sole winner forever

Some minor touch up (Using GIMP, color curve adjustment)
