8 months is edi quite sometime...then me 2-3weeks hold a camera only...counted as what ar?

haha.. the period doesnt represent anything.. i can buy a DSLR, put it at home for 7 months, then 8th month only start shooting marr. haha..
i just feel myself not good enough to move away from being a newbie (or noobie) yet..

anyway, more photos..

how do you judge a person skill by just looking at their photograph?
sorry for asking such noob question XD i am interested in taking photo too but taking such great shot requires DSLR camera right? can i do the same with my Sony W-5? xD

the last few photos i posted are not taken with a DSLR..
if u think they're nice, then u can conclude that DSLR is not a must for nice photo, and your DSC-W5 certainly can take nice photos too.. i'm having a DSC-W5 at home also, but that is mainly used for family trip..

very interesting 'noobs' gallery.

if u wan me to comment , the only thing i would suggest is, sharpen them a lil.

out of all, this is the best to me.
"6. Skull Squeezer"
Good tone, good composition, good timing. contrast is hi, but still ok to me

thanx for the comment, will try to sharpen them a lil more(already applied sharpening, dun wanna overdo them)..

as for the skull squeezer, no timing required, cause that's actually a patung in "Ripley's believe it or not" @ genting..

ohh i tot u went to dunno middle of nowhere snap that pic



anyway, here's some of mine version (left) of your photo (right). hope u don't mind.


sharpen


sharpen, contrast



sharpen, contrast


add contrast, removed red cast a lil

no i don't mind.. my pleasure..
did u do that with the unsharp mask?
i did tried sharpening, but whenever i do, i tend to overdo it..
your version just seem nicer..

all done using simple steps with unsharp mask and curve for color cast remove only

noted... will try to experiment with it...

uh oh, noticed that after taking photos you guys uses program to sharpen its color,contrast etc etc? what are the programs? is it adobe photoshop? srry i am so noob hehehe

btw kevin, i especially liked the photo sent down from heaven & sunset, is it possible to take with dsc w5?

easy...there are few softwares you can use. Picasa 2, which allows you to edjust the lighting, saturation, cropping and all the basics. Adobe photoshop is of course the more versatile software. You get to do anything with it. From filters to curves. I dont know much so i dont use those advance features.

most compacts come with a basic editing tools, i believe sony does too.

canon provide some basic free editing tools that work with other cam's file too.
Canon Zoombrowser?

For photoshop, if u wan to use an easy one, can consider PS Elements

W5 can take great photos. Don't believe me? check out this link.

wow amazing that w5 can take such amazing shots, must practice with it hehehe

Most of the time, it's the photographer behind the camera that matters, not the camera.
