Where to find cheap Hoya CPL ar?

An observation with my B+W, it's really hard to make it dirty. Even if it's dirty, one wipe and its gone.

Increasing aperture will get sharper image in the same time increasing the range of dof. Most lens is not the sharpest wide open.

Getting rid some redundant things

Chance to view rare celestial spectacle
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...7783&sec=nation

GEORGE TOWN: Malaysians can witness a solar eclipse today from 4.30pm to 7pm.

The National Planetarium will have a special programme from 4pm to give the public a chance to see the eclipse as it happens, the National Space Agency said in a statement.

Although only a part of the eclipse can be seen in Malaysia, enthusiasts will be able to see the moon obscuring 52% to 82% of the sun depending on their location.

A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes directly in front of the sun. Due to the relative distances, the sun would appear as a very bright ring behind the moon, resulting in an annular eclipse.

“The eclipse will begin at about 4.30pm in Malaysia when the moon first touches the sun’s disk,” the agency said.

The celestial spectacle will be more visible when the moon slowly covers the sun to form a crescent shape until maximum obscuration occurs at about 5.50pm.

“At its final contact around 6.55pm, the moon’s shadow slowly disappears just before sunset,” the agency said.

Geocosmic Centre of Yijing Meta-Science Research Malaysia academic consultant Dr Chuah Chong Cheng said solar and lunar eclipses during Chinese New Year were a rare phenomenon.

The next such occurence would be in 2026, he added.

“The same thing happened last year when a solar eclipse occurred on the first day of Chinese New Year on Feb 7 and the penumbral lunar one on Chap Goh Meh.”

Dr Chuah said for those who are superstitious, the solar and lunar eclipses could mean “double jeopardy”.

University Sains Malaysia’s Astronomy Atmospheric Science Unit lecturer Assoc Prof Chong Hon Yew advised people not to look directly at the sun but to use a solar filter when observing the eclipse or see its reflection in a pail of water so as not to damage their eyes.

If no ND, CPL also can.

Remember to protect your eyes!

Didn't know my bro logged into his account, it was actually me

The sun's ray is very strong in NZ as there's almost no air pollution to filter. Once I left my cam on the grass for a long period and it got hot but no problem at all.

A spam post without a pic


I've tried to shoot a family portrait with 4 rows of people using F14 at 20mm. Do you guys think the F14 is too much? Perhaps F8 is enough?

Thanks for the link. Very useful indeed! F11 is the answer

Cannot lah, later relatives say, "buy so big camera but keep shooting so many times one ar?" LOL!

Try looking up bro Flash man's (soulfly) tutorial

Bro, bila beli la? Few thread version pass already

A700 is due to be replaced this year. Sabar.......

Guys,

I plan to buy a CPL for my SAL18250. When I asked a second opinion from my friend, he said wide angle lens will benefit from CPL.

The effect seen on SAL18250 will be minimal. What say you?

Whoever has CPL say aye!

Whoa! Darren keng!

Some say yes, some say no. So I guess you have to try it yourself in the shop la

Ala bro, why la you always going on the offensive? How about you showing some reviews on Tammy is better then CZ?

You've commented Tammy is sharper right? But you didn't post a comparison. So from where did you draw the conclusion?

Sound like 'ah, I feel this is sharp, that is sharp'.

To me its kinda funny when you ask someone for prove when you can't bring anything to the table since you gave your comment 1st?

To avoid joining the auntie league, how about some reviews?

No worries, I'm well aware that you ditched your A100 and made loads from it

Going to hit the sack now as it's late here, nights.

I LOL-ed at
I doubt =/= i feel

Thanks for the early morning joke

With the traits that A900 have, it's more for a scenery and studio photog rather than a sports and low-light photog.

Some pros love the battery grip that can be separated rather than taking a big FF cam on the go all the time.

Remember these words: No one camera is perfect and wins in all aspects.

Know what you like to shoot and pick a suitable system.
