that day, if I remember correctly, I was on Aperture Priority (mostly F3.5, unless for almost full body shot at F2.8) therefore, power is at Auto (power can only be at manual when you use manual mode) and the range I put 105mm. At the same time, I was also using a stofen. All the photos are shot having the flash pointed upwards, including in portrait mode.


sorry, exif was somewhat removed using portrait professional because the original photos has too harsh light on their face

updated with EXIF

got you tube?
or screen capture?

I rarely watch TV nowadays

after you got the hdd (preferably 2.5"), get a photo bank as well so that when you go out, you can just transfer your photos from your memory card to the hdd without the need of a pc or notebook

lelong got people selling RM120

just top up RM70 and get a photobank

For me, I bring notebook ... 2.4kg ... if including cables... well... can reach 3kg


I also have a OTG HDD media player... yeah, those thing you can plug to TV and watch movie. OTG means that you can connect USB card reader to it and transfer files to the HDD without a pc/notebook

ya, on the go

mine is not photobank, mine is OTG 2.5" hdd media player... last 3 years bought for RM250.... now i think cheaper
bought at LPS - http://lowerpricestore.com/
they got shop in SS2 and Subang Jaya
SS2 easy for me

yeah, you can get that photobank
but i've not used before.... well, I had one 5 year ago during my panasonic fz3 time, but that I given to my friend
its good to use if you shoot in RAW or have small CF card (like me 4 GB only)

But there is one thing you must always do before deciding to buy... always research
what to research?
The READ & WRITING speed for the photobank. That you do the research.
Of course do expect pricey photobank that read/write at blazing speed

Or just get a normal one
Buy 2 CF cards
Shoot 1 card till full
Then transfer card to photobank
while transfering, you can continue shoot with the other CF card
repeat as needed

aiya... google research la

ok ok, i help you... luckily i got nothing to do in office

uncle google say... that digimate III is hi speed with write speed 5.5mb/s.... so average my 1 file is 5mb (14 megapixel camera), so 1 photo = 1 second. 4GB card can store 800 photos. So 800 seconds is equals to 13 minutes

so, can you wait for 13 minutes ?

most photobank supports up to 250gb only
that is sata

most IDE supports up to 160gb only

but do bear in mind, those digimate IDE is 2007... digimate sata maybe 2008....
2008.... 500gb 2.5" is still new, maybe technology not up there yet

yeah
but of course it need power socket la
unlike the otg or photobank, can use batteries
connect to notebook thru usb only, no power needed

that maxtor need power

of course depends on how you need it

I've both... 500gb external HDD and 40gb OTG
but I don't use that OTG to save photo tough, I shoot jpeg... 816 photos in 4 GB CF... enuff for a day
if not, then bring 2.4kg notebook along

get a model to try with

no model?
then another photographer
find a photographer that wants to learn togethere and you shoot each other

you won't really get macro cuz it is at 1:3
to me it is just kinda closeup
but if you crop 30%, then become 1:1
10mp 30% crop, around 3mp, ok la...
