I didnt get any confirmation from george yet.

Wee ....v18.

Demb is the best for me, I went to DirectPhoto yesterday and the sell at rm160.

Mine too...on waiting list.

Around the same time too..

Anybody's selling f42? I regretted selling mine last time when i bought f58....need a slave now that I have 2 umbrella.

Need opinion here...I have f58....I like to do strob photography n i have 2 umbrella. What do u think

1. Should i buy another flash ....nissin around RM4++ that can be triggered by pop up too.
2. HVL42 ...new one rm7++
3. 300 watt strobe light ....rm600 without battery pack (I have to use plug so not mobile). (not sure can fit into my light stand and silver umbrella) definitely can be triggered with pop up flash/flash.

Thanks....control? I dont really get to practice flash control when theres 2 hvl....but I am going to attend the Penang worksyop on this 21 and learn about this.

Nice shot.

Good job...its like a story telling kind of narration photography. I can feel the mothers child relationship there and the hardship of siemreap ppl.

Both are not for macro...if u r serious into macro...get a macro lens such as the sp90, guarenteed 1:1.

Dingenius - I wish I know how to explain but let me try. 1:1 for macro lens is a true macro lens magnification, 1:2 or 1:4 normally lens that are capable to do macro but not a true macro lens, a lot of zoom lenses have this capability. Hmm i guess 1:1 indicates ratio. A true 1:1 macro lens are usually prime lens with no zooming capability. Nowadays I rarely do macro as it gives me backache as I have to hunch my back catching damn bugs. But if u must....to get a good macro shot....lighting is also crucial....although f58 is not perfect for macro, at least f58 can bend downward towards the bug unlike f42. The best is ring light to get the job done. National Geographic magazines have lots of inspirational macro pics.

MechaHerc - well I am still resting and recuperating from that damn denggi - more reason not to do macro. Instead of catching a mosquito and make them pose for me, they bite me without mercy.

Hi guys any outings?

Interested here.

I bought a backdrop from digicolor few days ago....stand rm200 and backdrop rm 170. My backdrop is a chroma key backdrop so its easy to masking, change color, selection etc with photoshop. A big studio size backdrop.

Heres the example. Model - our own Ihsan.



Ihsan in ori chroma key - green backdrop.


photoshop to change color - blue.



photoshop to change color - maroon.

I want to play play with my backdrop but i have no model.....anybody can come over to my hse and be my model.
