doesnt seem bright enough for a flash to have been fired. But who knows 

Quite satisfied with the performance. Well, you get what you pay for, and for such a cheap price one surely can't expect L-like quality from it. 
Though camera shake is really a problem. I had to bump up the ISO and use my flash to get a fast shutter speed to decrease camera shake 


This one's taken at 228mm @ ISO 800 using the lens' macro mode
Aperture set at 7.1 to decrease PF and CA


248mm
ISO 800
F7.1

Still trying to get used to the increased minimum focusing distance 

Just finish some assignment work release steam lol, C&C please

It depends on the God.

Dry weather, clean air and a little bit of luck I guess.

Small aperture helps as it doesn't blur out the background for it has greater DOF.

And there's some pp I did.. playing with color warm and saturation on the RAW image file.

Camera sensor doesn't work like human visual sensor (eyes).

You need to pick which subject you want to be properly exposed and leave other over/under-exposed.

You can't have both extreme 2 ends to look nice in a single shoot. You can however get that through HDR processing.

Of cause there'll be some tools and technique other than HDR to get the exposure you want, like using a GND filter or by adjusting the "level" and "curve" of the photo.

The human eye has a higher dynamic range than the camera sensor.
Moreover the human eye is extremely adaptive, it reacts to tiny changes instantaneously so you'll always see the "best" image 
Like da3shou3 said, you can achieve higher dynamic range by utilizing a GND filter, but the GND cant be used for All occasions. The GND has a specific pattern in which only certain scenes and landscapes can fit properly.
Or you could go HDR     

Very nice composition  really like it

great hdr work there 

1 RAW 3 exposure HDR

tell that to this dude here.

its a 1 RAW to 3 exposure scene, plus its a high contrast scene. It's hard to get the things right in this one. But anway.. Wow, u just got urself an A for fill-in-the-blanks what does HDR means.. high key means no shadow at all, but why are there high key pictures with shadows? HDR in the end is still digital photography after all.

and lastly as ubi.kentang always quoted:"Why limit your imagination?"

*******************************

Put that aside, i edited an old shot.
This is the results

Exif's in the file.

No its not a high key shoot. It's a pre shoot of a shoot
Here's the results of that shoot.

pre shoot means before the main shooting lo. same like pre wedding photography, you take photos before the wedding day.
