It works but not easy to control the flash from camera as well as SB-800
Sometimes, it will too harsh

had a little try just now,is nice!!




i just notice that it will auto detect any light around 1,i was in my own room and i open light,it will auto fire also

Well, yeah, they didn't have what we have today. But it still does not change the fact that the photos looks much better than what we churn out by the dozens everyday.

What's better? Frankly, I think it's the attention to detail, the thought that is put into each photo, the planning that goes into each of them. Sometimes it's the fact that they were brave enough to be there to take pictures (world war pictures for example). But ultimately I think it was because each photo had a story to tell, and they told the story really well. But really, I can't do justice explaining the pictures. Heck, I can't even remember the names of all the photographers I think highly off.

They definitely did not:
1. Keep on snapping pictures of girls
2. Keep on showing off the lens' bokeh by shooting mundane stuff

Too harsh for photo 2

to simplify it:

"technology has spoilt us"

yeps can't have enough of that around. *pukes*

Girls? Oh noes, I have a girl photo

as always, those are excellent pictures zio

hoho!! good catch on the little girl and overall your photos are

wait,
are you comparing robert kapa's works with your works or with anyone of the forummers here on lyn?

why don't you compare kapa's works with today's world press award winners' works?

It's not really a fair comparison there.

Firstly, if you were a photographer *then*, it meant that your career somehow revolved around photography. Cameras were expensive and not widespread then. Cameras are so affordable *now* and having a DSLR camera in your hand *now* doesn't mean that you are a career photographer.

Secondly, you are comparing works of career photographers *then* to amaturish works that are all over *now*, for example to those posted in this forum. A right approach would be to compare what career photographers took *then* to what professional career photographers take *now*, not with LYN photographers. Who says career photographers *now* don't travel the world - to the furthest regions of the antartica, to the war torn African countries... you see those pictures still, just don't expect to find them here unless there's a Thom Hogan hiding among us somewhere.

Anyway, don't be so critical of LYN photogs. Even the photos we see in newspapers nowadays are crap, but they serve their purpose as an illustration. At the end of the day, everyone shoots what he/she enjoys.

Don't put a stigma that "shooting photos of models/girls are wrong"... look at shinchan and lotso's works - they shoot good model photos and are really out to improve their craft.

Please la. Why keep on continue the topic. Shouldn't it be D40/x/D60 discussion ? It's way way out of the discussion already

No, I am not comparing the work of career photogs of the past with the current ones. They are about the same in quality. Obviously the current pics are mostly in color and they are sharper, but seriously, sharpness and color rarely come into play when judging a picture, so long as it's not too blurry until I can't make anything out of it.

And I know better than to judge any photogs. Especially ones that do not do it for a living. But if I did, flickr has plenty of examples of ppl not doing this thing at work but produce mind blowing pics.

I guess my initial post was a reflection of how frustrated I am when some keeps on posting about gear. D3s and 70-200VRs are nice and all, but they don't make good pics.

I bet if I gave 'zio' another 105mm lens, he'd be able to produce good photos. Heck, his photos are compressed and resized already but because of how he captured emotions and told stories, generally I think his series has been the better works shown here. They definitely don't have to be pin-sharp.

Sorry for the last post. Back to the regular D40 channel from my side now

No more off topic after my post can ?

A photos to share

im soooo gonna get a sb800 ! ! ! btw guys, do ya think its better to get a sb800/sb900 ?..

If you have the budget and know how to fully utilize the functions and features of the SB-900, of course go for it! Just don't buy the SB-900 and use it as a self-defense weapon.

Hmmm... it actually might work... blinding the pursuers or potential burglars!

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.
