Luckily he is not on the driver's side when taking this

LOL You have a 1000D already, right?


1/8 s, f/2.0, ISO 100.

Friendly visitor. 8 eyes, dunno which way it's looking at.

LX3 focuses on small details better than my own eyes leh... Maybe it's juz coz I'm new to this high-end camera thing.

This kind of spider is harmless? I'm trying to identify the creatures around me rather than trying to kill them.

PcHo, what does it look like he was sitting at the driver seat?

Yea I guess so. It the real common type, the kind around the size of a 5 sen coin.

Juz wanna ask, does this look better than the previous one? Adjusted brightness and cropped. If didn't crop the background looks awfully bright.

He is on the left hand side of the car.
Our steering is on the right

In my opinion, the photo is a bit underexposed and the focus is a bit soft. It's better to cover the whole spider by using a smaller aperture.

Just my 2 cents.

lol when u got ur lx3?

Eye of a photographer as usual

Here's some snaps from my quick trip to singapore










more on my flickr and the rest are still inside my hard disk waiting to be processed

Nice landscape shots~!
I especially liked the color of the sky for #4.
Effect of the polarizer right?

But #2 seems not really good....u PPed the sky izzit?
And it looks noisy for a daylight shot....

Hrmm... That's the problem. I went wit the biggest aperture coz light was an issue. I was shooting at the kitchen. If I went any smaller I would have to bump up my shutter speed, and wit my shaky hands it would blur out any details. This was the only one that captured significant amount of details out of the 10 or so I took. And I still had to adjust brightness on computer.

I think I found the answer already... Bump up ISO?

Anyway keep them cents coming. I need them.

Just got it last 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, increase to ISO400 will help a lot. Try not to use flash against animal. Who knows when will they get mad and bite you? Haha~

Really nice grasshopper! How did you manage to shoot it before it jumped away?

I take a several time before manage clear and sharp picture.

Problem with flash setting to get correct white balance.

grasshopper only stay a minutes before jump to another place.

Manage to get several sharp picture.

Sorry for my broken english

Another picture

^ wou dude you must've gotten real close to it! Or it's a big one...

need comments on a few stuff.











The first two was done wit the rule of thirds in mind. Was it ok?

Did my angle on foods work? Or was the straight one nicer? Any other ways to better compose food pics?

Another picture from pasar satok, kuching.





Really hard to play with manual setting. Cannot get really nice picture.

I took a lot of photos like yours b4 too~!
The problem is not whether u follow the rule, but the photo itself has not much to show.
