I'd be against that. Since panning involves motion, the IS would be of little effect if you ask me. I'd say that panning would be more to human timing.


It is if you're planning on using your telephoto for indoor events and stuff that involves less than optimal lighting.
If you're planning on taking your telephoto lens for daytime outdoor shots, IS would of course still be helpful, but less important

Exactly why I left out the 2nd IS mode. Currently only high end Nikon and Canon lenses offer that second IS mode. To me it's more of a novelty than of practicality. Think about it this way, how often will one pan exactly horizontally? Since the lenses only counteract tiny shakes in either the X or Y axis, I personally think that mode isn't going to be very useful when one pans. More than often the panning shot will follow a diagonal line >__<

I tried some new Picture Style. I think this one was "Clear".
Overexcessive PP ftW
The shot was taken at KLIA btw.


18mm
ISO 100
1/125
F16

Does the sky look too fake?

That lens reversing technique is to take shots of high magnification aka. Macro.
Tilt-shift can only be done by dedicated tilt-shift lens
And of course software PP

Very decent picture. The only thing I noticed was the silhouette of another bird just to the left of the main bird.
A bit distracting I would say, but otherwise I like that electricity tower in that pic

No. In fact I like it this way
Puts more life into the picture

Just got my new toy
Trying some product shots with it, but I think went a lil bit overexposed

50mm
F5.6
ISO 400
1/40s

Actually the only thing that matters is your aperture. The starry effect is caused by a very small aperture. Shutter speed doesn't do anything Light travels much much faster than 1/4000s

Nah..I actually only know my physics
I'm still new to photography too

What's that thing on top of the lens?

More like a kerbau...



You sure it's used for macro work? 400mm for macro seems overkill to me

OOF?

Gimme the filter cause I need it for my 50mm?

SEriously. This was the [PIC-A-Day Thread].
Nao it's teh [Spam-j00r-pictars-here Thread].





Which I find irritating


@ryuuzaki
The picture would look even better if you cropped it more tightly. Make the tree fill the whole frame. Try it and let's see how it looks

The blue hue of the highlights on your capsicums doesn't look right.
Just wondering where you were when you shot that photo?

My pictarrr

ISO1600
32mm
1/40s
F4.5
Av Mode

Dammit gotta get myself a flash unit. Anyone selling their second hand unit?

Then only the star on top of the tree will be sharp Everything else bokeh

Very bad movement in the pictures even though it's supposed to be candid.

Tried out some bokeh shots with the prime. Not as sharp as I would have wanted

50mm
F/1.8
ISO 100
1/1250s

Yeah. The lens gets really sharp at around f/3.2, but then the bokeh won't be as much

Hmm..70200 f4L non IS?
