Hi guys, I just got myself a 400D and I am kinda new to photography and DSLR. =) Hope to learn from you guys.

i dont understand about the lens. what is the 18-55mm on my kit lens means?

how do i know whether a lens is a macro lens, telephoto lens or a portrait lens?

OH. i see, what's a focal range?

why the flashes got different price one? what's the difference between 430ex and 580exII ?

Yourself didn't go shoot out meh? I'm underage to go in ruums i guess. xD

btw,IS lens is more expensive than non IS one right?

oh, though i am new to dslr, can't afford a over 1k lens right now. have to play with my kit lens first. i believe kit lens can do a lot of thing.

wanna ask, how long should I charge the battery?

the light always on, cannot go off one. ah i see. RM300 f1.8 w/ filter cheap?

Any idea which white balance should I set for taking photos in a light box? I got a white table lamp on top.



This turn out to be blueish as I set the white balance to Tungsten.



and this, the white balance is at Auto.

Which is better?

apple is green . =D



how to set custom white balance? i choose custom white balance setting, then?

hey guys, I kinda confuse about the focal length and the type of lens. my kit lens is 18mm-55mm . then when i google about wide angle lens some is 24mm, some 35mm.

then isn't my kit lens at 18mm are wider than those wide angle lens?

and here got another 2 lens :
35mm f2.0 wide angle lens .
35mm f1.4 usm II lens.

the first one f2.0 is a wide angle lens, then is the 2nd one also wide angle lens?

yo guys.

i tried HDR this afternoon, but cannot work. how to do HDR image? I took few images of the same scene at diff exposure and merge all with photoshop.
turn out like this,


and any comment on below pict?

f3.5 / 1.3sec exposure time.

and this below is taken under long exposure. low fstop, but it seems dark. why har?
