was arranging my 'old' photos...perhaps i shd post a few here..too many amazon toy from me these days..lol







c&c r more than welcomed....sorry if i posted some of them b4..lol..too long to remember..

haha..no i didnt use portrait prof....skin condition was taken as it is..no editing....the only retouch(if i remmber correctly) on the face was lightening a lil bit of eye bags..1 of my friend also ask whether i over-smoothen the skin...i guess its probably due the contrast maybe? btw..she's my gf

hdr?or u pump up the saturation?? the guy is so small at first glance i tot it was part of the building..

yup.. powered by 2 small batteries..those round round n flat type...nt sure about the name tho...haha

too dark at the bottom??looks like some of the details in the darker color missing there..


so hows the cobras doing?hope they don bite each other

hmm..now that u mention...actually i nv bother to change the creative style....if i don check..i don even know wad style im using..hahaha...my cam is always in vivid style +1 +1 +1....but most of the adjustment of the colors r done in my post process...slowly adjust until it please my eyes..


bout the lens...no specific lens for my shots...depend on the 'setup' of the 'scenes' i guess...

as for the last shot i posted here..i use sp90 for the reason that even its F2.8..but sometimes it gives me crazier bokeh as compared to my F1.4 especially at very short focal length...


cheers

i guess the biggest diff here is the live view...do u need that??

km 50 f1.7 is good for portrait...but i don think km28 f2.8 is wide enough if u wanna do landscape...


just my 2cents worth

heres a few sample of human portrait with tamron sp90 when i just bought it...







do note that the orig photos r supposed to b sharper......those i uploaded were processed with gaussian blur in photoshop...

i heard thats a common problem on the sp90..
but it might b due to my postprocessing..all the 3 pics were heavily gaussian blurred as per the girls request...my later pics with sp90 looks okay to me..

if i nt wrong..it means that ur camera/lens suppose to focus at the subject..but instead..it focuses at the point slightly front of the point u wan it to be...


@viking
ya..i think i came across with a few ppl with the front/back focus with tamron...nt sure whether my lens had the prob..but another point to note is..for all that 3 pictures..its actually my first time using the lens..and first time manual focusing...could it b my prob?lol

haha..auto focusing on sp90 is extremely slow....as most of my portraits r candid shots...so i don really hav time to wait for auto focus...

wad hav u done to the kids..they look frightened..

nv use flash??the kids look a lil bit dark..

eerrr..those are nt my gf..lol..my gf pic is the one i posted last nite


here
