Some pics I took during Raya back in Melaka. Feel free to C&C everyone Some of them are my 1st taken during experimenting with "M" mode...trying to get more comfortable with it.


Took this pic of my cat with a bathroom mirror to bounce the built in flash








Would like to ask, is this one better...


...or is this one better?

Ty oren & lord darth

So Oren, how can I avoid pic #1 from being under? Should I focus on something else than the white fur so the cam will expose more correctly? I don't really understand metering, etc...haha.

Ah, kk...so just a few notches of being over is OK right? Ok, got it! I actually noticed this when I used M mode while taking landscape pics. I'd turn the command dial until the exposure meter says it's correctly exposed and then only I snap. but then I noticed the pic is a bit under also, kinda dark. Thx oren! And I like your 2nd shot too, of the tyre! I think if there's a central focusing point under the tyres, like a pebble, it'd have been even nicer

So how many people are going to the KLPF? u guys plan to do a mini gathering of some sort?

oren, can u explain why max bokeh can be achieved with the kit lens at a focal length of 55mm and biggest aperture? i know that nice bokeh can be obtained when using big apertures, but as to the max focal length, i dunno yet. Thanks!

Very very very nice! Hats off to u 1=1!

Speaking of tripods, I'm looking for one since the el-cheapo tripod that I got with my camera is already kaput after 3 months only, haha. Keen on a Nat Geo Tundra model from Manfrotto that I saw on Shashinki. Question is, should I go for a ball head or a 3 way head? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks friends!

xandman, thanx! the tripod I'm setting my eyes on comes with either a ball/3-way head. I assume they're Manfrotto heads...are they good enuff? A photog friend of mine, on the other hand, recommended the 3-way..he said it's easier to use and 'marking'...whatever that means. lol

Opanda iEXIF is really usefull. But i've found out that when I download photos from certain sites, i.e my Facebook, the images doesn't have any EXIF info at all.

how hard is it to MF with the 50mm amir? I'm thinking of getting one too la..the price is certainly right

wah, is the lens hard to find?

we want video! we want video! lol

btw, just now I went to a camera shop in bangi, selling the Nikkor 50mm f1.4 for RM1300. sigh...f1.8 no stock

My first very weak attempt at HDR:




Made from 3 different shots. I'll try to get a hang of this HDR thingy again tomorrow! Hehe. Getting excited now.

I couldn't sleep last night, so waited until sunrise. My reward:





Both are HDR, 3 exposures each. Forgive their n00bish-ness.

Going to sleep now.

tq for you comments sifus. i'll try to improve

tq oren

Do u buy stuff from bestbuy xandman?

a friend of mine got her D40 snatched near to KLCC today, while she was doing some street shots. she was carrying it in a sling-type bag...the thief went by on a motorcycle and snatched it. be careful ppl.

Excellent shot amir!

wasn't much there at KLPF la for me, a bit disappointed. the highlight for me: testing out Tamron SP90. haha. after that, went to YL...lagi puas hati.
