wow, V2!

I'm so proud to own a Canon 400D

Waaaaaah

I've always wanted to "shoot the moon" as sharp and clear as this. I haven't quite gotten there yet.

SIFU~

Har? So cheap ah? Good or not? Can tahan or not?

I wish I can spend more on the cam but I really can't afford now. Planning to go uni. Have to save la.

By the way, do you guys have the problem of having your LCD display all smudged up by your facial oil/makeup/moisturizer? My friend said my camera smelled like moisturizer I use on my face. LOL.

And there was once I put on a little bit of blusher and went shooting. I end up losing my blush on the left side because it got smudged up on my LCD! It was so embarrassing, I had to go to the toilet to remove all of my blush (I didn't bring my brusher along that day). Luckily I didn't put mascara! LOL LOL. Bet you guys don't have this problem!

And how about you guys who wear glasses? Do you press your glasses against the viewfinder and blur them up or you guys remove your glasses altogether?

I'm just curious.

UTAR Kampar/PJ. Depends if I want to change my major.

Any of you here wear glasses? Do you take off your glasses when you take pictures?

I think the external would be useful if I want to shoot indoors. I've been having a lot of blurred pictures using the kit lens for indoor shots and I don like the build-in flash. Maybe for a cheaper alternative I could get a pop-up flash diffuser. Money's always the problem. HMPH.

Oh, a viewfinder extender? Cool! But is this the one that comes with the camera already? Is that an extender?

Do you press your glasses against your viewfinder? Then you glasses all blurred up la like that?

The thing about me is that I am particular about what I use to wipe my glasses. I won't randomly take a tissue paper and wipe it because it will scratch my lenses. So the blurring of my glasses as I press it again the viewfinder is really quite an issue for picky, troublesome me. Leceh la want to bring my spectacle box with my spectacle cloth inside everywhere I go la...

Or is it just me being very troublesome?

Heheh, maybe it's time for me to use contacts now.

I just got my bonus and I'm contemplating on getting either a battery grip or a cheap cheap secondhand 430EX/ third party flash. Or should I save some more and get a nice telephoto like a EF 70-210mm f4.

Headache lah.

LOL, I can't afford the L yet! I'm talking the old old EF 70-210mm f4. The same one fcbarcelona-my is having. I can afford something not over 1k la.

I'm more into portrait/people pictures. I don't do so much of landscaping and etc. That's why I thought the battery grip would be useful- plus it makes the cam look even more professional! HEHEHE

I like fcbarcelona-my's EF 70-210mm f4 picture quality. The way I see it, the lens is not too expensive and reasonably good. I'm probably poised by the people pictures he took. Awesome wei.

Hopefully I can find a buyer to sell off my current kittylens and fund for the Tammy 17-50 f2.8. That really sounds like a better option considering my current love for portraits.

However trying out the tele might just open a whole new horizon for me to explore...

Speedlite... later la.

Thanks for the input.

WHUAH! POISON! *tries to siam

Oh no! Kena already!!!!

Must go (retail) therapy already!

I suddenly wish I am earning USD and didn't miss the chance to go Canada 2 years ago.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Hey guys, i just want to know if y'all had the same problem as me when I develop my photos, the colours normally turn out very different from what I see on my computer.

The darker part of the photos look underexposed and the bright part of the photos looked overexposed. It was really horrible.

Is it the photo shop fella's photo printer quality or is it my picture's problem?

I will blardy kill him if he does.

Not all. I understand about the contrast and brightness unbalance if I edit but the thing is some of my pictures, even without editing (reason for not editing- pictures was nice enough) turn out horrible with the dark part of the photo too dark and the light part of the photo overexposed.

I felt like crying looking at the developed photos.

Added on January 31, 2008, 12:44 amYea, the display is another thing i noticed when I edit my photos.

I've got a laptop and a desktop. My desktop monitor is erm... 7 years old. I edit my pictures with my laptop and when I view the pictures on my monitor it looked too dark while it looked totally fine with my laptop.

I'm just pretty uptight about what my beautiful pictures have turned out. I'm supposed to give them to my boss and I don't think she's going to be impressed.

So basically, I can't control these factors?

And how do I get it calibrated? BTW, I got a very noob question to ask- what's calibrate?

FUJI FDI. That's precisely what they use to print my photos. (unless that guy used another machine to print mine instead)

Won't Foto-Shangrila charge a bomb? Have any of you tried Photozoom? Are they okay?

Hmm, sounds like a superb, science-experimental idea. I will give that a try when I have some extra cash to spare.

RM0.50 where got enough? If you want to print too few pictures they will gladly charge you an extra RM5 for handling charges.

How much do you pay when you develop photos, guys? For me I pay RM30 for 50 photos. Expensive?
