can can my works so so only la ahaha... Just used alot of plug ins lol mostly im free d. Just pick a time.

Oooh the secret is out!

Still, we can see from your photos that your PPing skills is quite top notch 

Ooh.. that's good news then... hmmm... im having my exams now till 30th of Jan, then going back to hometown on the 3rd of feb for 2 weeks. Can meet up before i go back then, or else i can only arrange once im back from hometown. 

Hmm... I was also considering which to get for my new camera since my old one just went dead. Between a prosumer and DSLR. Was thinking of getting a DSLR at first. But considering the technical side of photography not to mention to invest in additional lense and other accessories I am 99.9% decided to get a prosumer camera. First for its cost and second to learn up the basic of photography before I really start to venture to the world of DSLR.

Comparison wise, it is really an apple to an orange. Totally different class of their own. But to be frank, DSLR does have much better flexibility in terms of features and creative photography which prosumer and normal PnS camera are severely limited by their hardcase design.

And I do agree on the person behind the camera concept. Equip you with all the equipments and accessories for the camera in the market. Provide you with assistants to carry all the weights and hire a specialist in changing the lense that you want to use to snap the particular photo. Without the sound knowledge of what to use, when to use and where to use your photos still turns out sucks.

Just my humble opinion and common sense. Disagreement can be point out for sharing among the people here.

Ha! HA! Seems like a lot of sifu got insulted here.

Well, there is nothing wrong whether a PnS or Prosumer or dSLR. Each have their own pros and cons. And u just need to know what you need.

And what u can't make good of doesn't mean others can't. Just because u are not good doesn't mean everyone is the same.

1) For me, post-processing is a need in photography. I know there are a lot of photogs in lowyat do not agree with me, but it really helps u a lot when you want you want to bring out all the elements of a picture. Most of commercial photography nowadays are all PPed. So i think learning PP is an additional knowledge in photography. Both PP and photographing skills are important to me. That's what i think.

2) I would recommend photos to be taken in RAW mode. Your pictures can be easily saved when u realize you want/have to do the followings. adjust colour, exposure, brightness, contrast and create a HDR image from it, etc... It takes up more memory capacity in your card, but saves your pictures. So you decide. =)

Question for me: As i was told by someone in the forum, and i always try my best to follow that rule. That rule, is... 1/the focal length of the lens. which means, if you are taking a photo with 50mm, it's advisable to use 1/50 shutter speed or faster shutter speed, not slower than 1/50. It also depends on how steady how you hold your camera. Hope my tip helps. =)

For me, in the world of photography, it doesnt really matter how you get the photo, whether u PPed or none PPed, with skills or with luck. The main goal to use the camera is to have satisfaction of what you get from the camera. And of cause, sometimes u need to compare your pictures with others, and have c & cs in order to set your goals higher. When someone "WoWs" at your picture, you feel great and satisfied, and i bet this is definitely a great feeling for everyone here in photography.
