guys...a very common quetion here....
what AF area mode u guys using??
Wide or Spot or Local??
coz when i use wide the camera will always focus on other part of the subject.....
n how to get almost all part of my subject been focussed in??
wide = camera decides ur focus point
spot = focus point in the middle
local = u decide ur focus point.
i usually use local (more control). u need adjust ur DOF to get all subject in focus.

i used LOCAL sometimes only.. most of the time is set to SPOT...
i find it much quicker to use SPOT... as i just need to half-snap..
then recomposed the pics..
at the same time.. metering also done during the half-snap..

beware of recompose oh..

some pics might exp OOF due to recompose..

Let's take a break from all the "missiles"..

Location FGS Dong Zen Temple in Banting Klang. Endure 1 hour of traffic jam but it was worth it.

Wished i had a faster lense..........
Most of the shots were handheld at 1/40 or 1/50 so pls excuse the "blurness"...
Hmm, somehow i find it under-exposed....1/40 is superb. I always shoot at 1/4 or 1/10 in lo light hand held. What u need is a tripod for such shot...u need a higher f value (f=5.6 or higher) hence a fast lens wont help. just my 2 cents

Comparing a D40 with D3x is like comparing your local proton with Ferrari. Stupid comparison isn't it ?

I never know that moarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr focus point = better camera. SRSLY !!!
i think he is not comparing. he is trying to point out the 'revolution' from D40 to D3x where the focus point has been increasing and increasing:) 2 cents saja
seram: too little of the sun and too much of water and sky...try cropping the pic? just my 2 cents..
something like that:
(sorry for touching your pic:D)
