So it is really you. I have been suspecting when I saw the avatar, the composition look very familiar. Congrats!

Haha, well txn is soo long over aledi loh

Wait.... Are you the handsome David that I know? The one with 400D powered by 8800GTS?

I was very very busy lately... until like no life....

wahh.. nice nice those pics...

Thanks for your kind comments.

Good to have positive comments from SiFu class....

ok perform, good pict for news

I was working rather late at the new year eve. Since traffic is all jam up, I decided to stay and wait for the count down. The fireworks were taken at my office's root top.

I set the picture mode to faithful and highlight preserve on custom function like usual. It seem the constrast is rather low for most of your taste... I guess it is what i got from the picture mode. Maybe next time can try other mode.

All the fireworks were shot on ISO200, and the other street photo is all shot at ISO1600. The noise level on my 40D at ISO1600 is considered ok and acceptable.

I had seen those fireworks picture on internet is so clean and perfect without smoke. How did they do that? Or just photoshop power? Because I already can see the smoke with my eyes... and how did they remove that? Is it simply snap always not good enought?

Here are some more...

And my found my 40D autofocus also not perfect... There was one picture attached actually OOF and focus on the float/bubble rather than the subjects. And in general, there are at least 1~2 pictures (in low light) out of 10 still OOF. It is still not as good as the 5D where I can get all pictures perfectly in focus....

As usual, C&C is welcome...

TheVoIP....to get clean picture without the smoke, you need to use smaller aperture.

u very bad luck, the smoke blowing towards your direction.. whole klcc nearly covered in smoke, dont think there's much you can do about it, unless u superimpose another klcc on top.. haha..

increasing contrast should help bring out the fireworks

Smaller apeture cleaner picture? Sure boh... Some I already use up to f16 liao lo...

So solution;

(1) Upgrade my luck or pray more before shooting... I actually forgot to pray and it did rain half an hour before the count down begin...

(2) I get your idea on super-impose second image... But dunnot how to do la... especially on when the firewoks happen, then I baru re-zoom and re-compose... So a bit hard to get the same clean picture without the fireworks....

I was happen to be in MidValley on Saturday and managed to take some fashion shot, only for one session... The 5:00pm one as I wasn't expecting these... After that, I have to rush to other place with my friend.

As some of you might had pointed out that my compostion suck as usual... it is because I did not bring a tele zoom... and instead shooting with a prime. Some more all picture without cropping or any photoshop... So there are really limitation.... Anyone might to let me his 70-200 f2.8 IS?

Hope you like it... And as usually, any comments are welcome

hehe i think you really need a tele for this..

No money...

I saw 2 guys using Canon EF28-300 on thier 5D... Really Geng... and have both wide angle shots along with true tele....

isnt it a bit shaky on the 300?
haha with monopod ok la

You should be right...

But the 5D's 300mm is shorter one... something like 200mm on normal croppping factor camera... Some more they got IS to compensate the shaking...

I tried thier camera... really siok... you can see the IS work because shaking already reduced so much on the view finder...

Should post larger images here la. All too small and too lazy to click one by one
