boss, can share how u take those photos ar?
it seems very interesting~~~ thx

Tilt-shift lens perhaps? Hmmm... not sure. Interesting shots though.

Photoshopped for the tilt-shift effect?

PP effects.. cannot afford T-S lens.. haha

Like pic number 2. I think that's the best out of all.

Well, I went to Hanoi and well, I had my 105mm so macro of course!

wa.. that lalat not moving when u stay close to it ??

it moved after I took 3 shots I think. Guess he was stunned the first time I blinded it with the flash

Nice Lalat. Delicious, made me hungry.

Anyway, rainy day, still yet to bring out my DSLR around, Im thinking of going to Lookout point in Bukit Ampang there (otw to Ampang from Hulu Langat) and try out night scene of KL tonight.

u eat lalat ??

btw zio, that lalat is not 1:1 ?? i am planning to get either this 105mm VR or Tamron SP90mm..

LOL... very good explanation indeed!

Gone through your uploaded pics and very impressed with how you managed to use the 105 for scenic shots as well. For such a tele range, you definitely composed your shots very well.

As for the macro... dun need to say la... you are the macro sifu... keng as always!

nice shots there...you use the DCM's issue tut or some other ones?

there is a japanese photographer who use a horseman large format camera to do this micro series photos.

he used a helicopter to do his series...

i have forgotten his name. let me go search for it

This really looks like fake bokeh after PP leh or really tilt shift lense?
mind to explain how it works?

Tested Siggy 30mm f1.4 today. But not much poison I'd say as I feel 85mm poison stronger

I believe it is not 1:1. Could have gotten nearer but risk it flying away even faster. I will say test both out and see if the moving parts of the Tamron will bother you or not.

Sharpness wise, both are comparable. But of course 105mm with VR means you can use it to do a lil more.

Hahaha.. why else would it have stayed on spot?

Thanks for the compliment But my macro still need lots of practice leh. As for using the 105mm during the whole trip, it made me think more. Haha cannot simple zoom in and out to shoot.

wahahaha nikkor lens more powderful poison

i have posted the tutorial link.. but some of you missed it.. aiyah..
it is a video tutorial..

Aisey, both lenses serve different purpose. So I guess you tend to shoot portraits more?

Anyway, I love all my lenses - 18-200mm, 10-20mm and 30mm.

Here's street shooting with all 3 lenses:
18-200mm


30mm


10-20mm
