I Lol'ed !

Technicality for technicality sake is argubly an art of it's own, especially if you're from the technical field, like 4D says, there's magic in the numbers and i'm inclined to agree.

If you wanna jump into things, jump in a with a complete set in my view, it's easier to work that way, and realize what you need and what you don't need by pointing out the limitations in your pics. In short, get most of what you have to get and then move on as needed.

here not a racun thread yet.. D80 there more racun

To each his own. Some loves to deal with gears, tweak here and there all the time. But for me it would be a waste. Better to go out more first. My biggest problem is the lack of outings!

But then again, if someone suddenly sponsor me, for sure I'll go get gear, then go for shoot hahaha

two things...some people have an obsession to keep lenses and gadgets... i have a friend...he can spend a 7k L lens on a 300d...he looks up at lenses reviews and stuff...willing to pay for all those expensive gadgets but then leave it there after having enough experiment with it...

collecting gadgets is cool!!!
i do that all the time...=)...
it ac tually depends on the individual...
some people...juz have the satisfaction of owning gadgets...dun even need to use them! hehehe...

a.k.a. collector la

yeah...lol... they get satisfaction not by producing good photos..but by getting good stuffs...haha....

Wah if I had the cash I would go for the equipment lor but since not printing money, quite hard to achieve that.

I am level 0

ken rockwell's articles very nice and straight to the point...

hi guys

could u guys critic this?

i love D40x colours ^^

For me... I think the white balance is a bit yellow already.
Focus not sharp on the subject
I think because of the lens, the bokeh not there. So, your flower did not stand out.

My 2 rupiah comment.
I am not a photographer anyway.

Thanks alot. will buck up..

your picture seem needto do some pp. try adjust level abit and unsharp mask.
take photo like this u need to use higher f numbers (f8) and use tripod. u r using 18-55mm rite? nice bokeh @ 55mm btw

bro...
try taking flowers of diff color...
red also pose a problem...try purple or light blue...
then ur pics will be much nicer...
i myself am having problems sometimes to get a good shot of red flower...
this has to do with the sensor...i read it somewhere...

one thing my sifus told me...try to avoid shooting red color as cam sensors are least sensitive towards red..i shot one bunga raya striking red...when it came out the petals didnt have much details and just looked like a red patch... hope that helps...
