Just want to share 1 of the photo i took during my Taiwan trip last 2 week. Even the photo didnt show significant landmark of Taiwan

I set my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens to the widest end, use Aperture priority, dial to f11 in order to get the shutter speed that low enough to capture the motion move effect while going down from escalator in Taipei MRT station. The ISO i used is 100 in order to reduce noise in dark area.

Camera Model - Nikon D80
Lens - Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

Camera Model - Nikon D40
Lens - Nikkor 18-55mm VR @ 48mm
Aperture - f5.6
Shutter Speed - 1/320
ISO - 200
Photoshoped to make it paint brush alike.

What do you mean by making it paint brush alike ?
It doesnt seems to look like paint brush at all , maybe you set the power/radius too low ?


OT : Mind to share the performance of the new VR lens ?

Camera Model - Canon 400D
Lens - Tamron 17-50 f/2.8

ermm.. it is like making it looks like painting..
ya..i set the brush to very detailed, and brush size quite small..
if bigger not so nice as lost much details edy..

u can see it on the tree's leaves area, original one is a sharp and clear..
and the sky also loh.. just abit only lah..

about the VR lens,
it is good if not better than the original 18-55mm.
The VR performance is good, i can go as low as 1/5 without much problem.

Nice, but for this subject, since it's like "deadly", should play more one shadows I think. Put a few flashes and bounce it around for more effect.
How? How I know? keke..

Miserable dark rainy evening, everything dark n gloomy then this bird with really bright yellow beak n feet landed in front of me. Took this a few days ago.
I like it coz I dont know how to use Photoshop but I like those pics where ppl leave the main subject in color but B&W the rest of the pic. This pic is my natural version.

Took this shot during Ching Ming. The smog from all the burning of offerings gave the yellowish cast and i further enhance it by adjusting the color temperature to give it a war zone feeling. A timely reminder to preserve our environment....
