UV can affect meh ? i thought about it also
but i lazy until until leave both the UV and CPL filter on all the time
maybe because i m lazy and got this shot, but i think its still alright i guess



Low shuttle and low ISO is a must lor

Nope, it doesn't really affect the composition. And you can probably adjust it as you turn the focus ring. I don't find that a problem. I don't know but Mr Rockwell tends to nitpick on things.
See, ifer's philosophy affected me. I dont use UV filter as well

Anyway...

I went to Hanoi for my company trip and well, street shoot opportunity aplenty. I am going to chronicle Day 1, 3 and 4 of my trip with Day 2 being the Halong Bay series up in the Travel section. I will limit myself to 10 photos of each day to bring you the Hanoi flavour, hopefully.



All shots taken with Nikon D40 and 105mm.

TTL, by nature, fire pre-flashes. First flash to judge exposure, then the 2nd flash comes after the camera has got exposure information from the first flash. On all cameras, TTL flash will work that way. Setting your flash to REAR, has got nothing to do with this.

If you set the flash to manual, then obviously it's no longer TTL flash. You are telling the camera to how powerful the flash is going to be, hence no pre-flash to get exposure information.

Tested something

No more off topic after my post can ?

A photos to share

Reason I don't get SB-900 is Sb-800 smaller but more powerful compare to SB-900. Tested and proven. Even the shop fellow told me so.
Besides Sb-900 get overheated quite easily

Another photo to share. Playing with effect again.

Now really, I didn't think I'm that smart actually. But if you insist

Oh, I give up. xandman, you are right. I just envy your D3 and you having so much money. I really do. You got me. Since I only do Java for a living, no way I can splurge on a D3 or the expensive Nikkor lenses.

Anyone seriously considering the D90? As a 2nd body maybe? Quite a few at the flickr D40/x/60 group has started their transition. Wondering if it'll happen here hehehe

how long will it last until the time comes to fix the shutter/SLR?

sorry..still new at this n planning to buy me a D40 soon...

guys,i was kinda disappointed today when i have decided to purchase a sigma 30mm f1.4.
i call up yl and they quoted me rm1680 for the lens + 2 year warranty.
when up to j-one and they quoted me rm1670 for the lens + 2 year warranty.

obviously for me it was way out of my expectation and budget,shashinki was just selling at rm1450
and
rm1350 at penang.

damn disappointed,i though at local kl shop,it would be cheaper than shashinki and local online seller.

I give up wanna buy this lens,my main concern is their after sales service,if my lens got apa apa hal,i can straight away go to the shop to do further checking and dont have to send back to shashinki which is way far at perak and maybe back to penang? well,that is unless I was allow to do the servicing at sigma distributor at sunway if i purchase it at penang or shashinki?

i better wait for the rumors AF-S nikkor 50mm f1.4 and in contrast,i would pay rm1600 for nikkor lenses (if is true and at this price) rather than a third party,my main point is i don't wanna buy lenses that bundle along with hassle rather than enjoyment of using it.

I have only one thing to say about the 10.5mm f2.8 Fisheye : It's like Sauron... the All-Seeing EYE!!!              



Distorted is fine... distortion is cool and fun if you go alllllll the way.
