Why not, put it on tripod, set long exposure time, in between zoom in slightly
You've to try a few times to get the desired results.

Sony DSC-F828, it looks like an DSLR too

nice, got zoom ring...

looks like multiple exposure to me, not zoom-while-shooting.

it is a zoom while exposing..

just see the light trails..

I think you should just stick around with ur prosumer for the meantime. sell off your dslr. give d dslr a good owner. I feel pity for it.

I just got my dslr few months ago.. is quite tough at first.. I can test shoot a single object for 50 shots to get d 1 that I REALLY satisfy with. Is all about trial and error and learn from it. As long as the final result r good. im happy.

I have to agree that.. Dslr r heavy big and smtimes troublesome to shoot...especially when shooting animals (human includes)..but that depends on individual. Techniques n experience... as long as u hv d passion.

d first time i bring my dslr out for street photographing.. none of my shoots is acceptable (by me). Clearly i know d problem is with me.. Not d camera! with Pns ..it control pictures. with dslr.. u control d pictures.

Perhaps u really hv made a big mistake of going straight to dslr, despite that mayb u think with big camera u look cool n more professional. From the way u describe how u wanna use d camera....travel shooting ppl.. friends..light and easy. i think pns r still ur best friend.. so stick with it.



Pity ur dslr.

It depends.. But according to TheVoIP's standard, it ain't huge enough..

Look pro but using Auto mode

Err... I think I will take a photo of it... then easier to explain la...

To me is to make the camera looks bigger. It also looks better that way. Some say can protect your camera from knock-knock. Some also say protect from flare lo... Basically are all positive things la...

Yeah... Agreee on that. Especially nowdays there are so many affordable used white 70-200 f2.8 around...

Added on January 18, 2008, 9:37 amI had tried the Canon 50 f1.2 L. That's the biggest 50mm that I had ever used. Result really not bad. I attached some sample test images here... Nothing modified using photoshop that kind of things... No cropping also...

Anyway, a homemade hood can make your small 50mm bigger. It is like most gals use something to push it up and looks bigger... Similar concept la...

Anything wrong with that?

Attached thumbnail(s)

Took some test shots with the D40X and I must admit the photos are more refined compared to the S3 (S3 shots not posted... doesn't have the same blur-ness in the photo thus turned out quite ugly).




And this was taken with the S3 on another occasion :

the orchids are under-exposed. you can bump up the exposure.

not enuff dslr poison?

here, 300d with kit lens can already do this. welcome back to 2004

what a suck imaging production

what do you mean? here you go again with your words

yoh, pro, ngi hao mao? hao giw mao gian, det harn yim cha

i don understand you la

that's how u compliment my extra hardwork?

Wow!! Heat is still high here. haha...

Darthbaboon: From your photo comparison.. It's significantly it's the exposure compensation on your D40x is not enough. Or maybe... the sensor of your D40X is not good?better check with it.. haha.. Your exposure compensation of the picture is 0 which is normal, but sometimes metering white colour stuffs, needs exposure compensation bumped up to +1 so you can see it's white enough. and 1/8 shutter speed is too slow for handheld unless u are using a VR lense. =) SO i guess these are the elements which made your DSLR picture looked bad.

He said: " Hey pro, how are you? Long time no see, are you free for yamca? "
