VOIP : Woi, you quoted me out of context. I mean the pic is cun and the pose is good, that's the reason I'm saving it.I'm not commenting on the girl.

weikeat: Same problem as me lah. I heard (hear only lah) Sony High ISO not very good. Take a look at this link, it's very poison



After seeing that, sure you go HAIZ!!!

indoor at f5.6? YOu zoom is it? If you using kitlens , then max aperture should be around 3.5/4.0, try using that, will increase your shutter speed.

the shots i find alright, but need working on the pose. good example would be pic #1 and pic #2 - i think she'll look better it wasn't taken side profile.

pic #3 onwards the poses are nice already.

Enough poison with 85L and 135L already.

picture 15 very natural smile nice ! Good

Wow, really nice pictures. At least better than mine ler. Must work harder to get better composition.

Dun worry... There are many solution to your problems;

(1) The best being getting a Canon 1D mark III + 85L. It should eliminate your low light + bokeh issue.

(2) If budget is an issue, get a 5D + 135L. The combo still offer pretty good result

(3) If you insist on Sony and using back your camera, do get the Zeiss 85 f1.4. The lense is not bad... except bokeh a bit harsh... But still a fine lense.

Thanks for your kind words... I am still learning here and there... Hope can have proper camera this year or next...

Yeah... The fine Lenses does compensate for my lousy skill...

Maybe you need some good Lenses...

Look at Lanun on how much he improved after selling off all lenses and get a single Lense

i wonder why you always praise the 1D-series than 1Ds-series...
best bokeh and low noise on canon SLR camera body should fall to Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III.... if the budget is unlimited..
since you say the best... it should be Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III...

I like the pic no 18. The skin tone is much more balance from face to hand. Other look ok too.

Actually it is due to effective focal length + avaiable lenses issue.

Personally I love the 1.3x 1D mark III with 35L + 85L + 135L + 70-200L combination. Everything are just perfect...

Anyway, everyone taste of effective focal length varies....

Thanks... It was due to 580EX II + ST-E2 + Umbrella

this one is nice. btw you shouldn't put your watermark all over the place la. no distraction also end up distraction.

and you already have a PROPER camera k. people like me using something that's not even worth half of your 30D.

I'm working on it now. Eating grass now It's either lens or flash.... which one first?

Last check is RM5999.

Ya I know... But due to some recent issue that people love to copy and put into thier own website... So at this moment, I have to watermark at critical area... When I have a proper website, I will re-do the watermark. Now I should focus on getting proper pictures.

My camera do have a lot of limitation + imperfection. There are even visible noise at 100% view around the blurred bokeh. I use it and I know it. I will show it maybe sometime next week. With proper camera like 1D mark III, most if not all limitation should be gone.

very nice all your photos.

their photos are pp-ed like crazy. and i can still see some artifacts due tu either noise removal or blur layer. nothing special there. can get similar results with my d40 with the right lighting and post processing.

edit: checked the page again. yep, i can see a lot of rough processing done there. lol.

Great job TheVoIP. The photo is nice and the model is pretty.
My favorite is Photo.9

Keep up the good work

Thanks sifu weileong...

I also notice that. IMO, photoshop is like eating egg. You can eat it raw (no PP), partially cook (slight PP to cover imperfection), well done (use PP to bring out or create the effect), but should never over-cook (overly PP done) I think the website is more toward overly done... and some of the effects I am not sure if nessasry in the first place...

Thanks... The model is indeed pretty... And you just need good Lenses to unleash the her beautyl... At least it is what I did...

Wah liu.... so geng...
How long more i need to go up to your level...

P/S : Can I touch ur L??

You can touch my Lenses, but not my Lan

Can lar, can lar...

Did you use umbrella to act as a diffuser/layer for flash?
Ah btw, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya, everyday sure got big wind blow kuat kuat one... Even raining also become storm already..
