I went there by van with bicycle loaded ard 11am. Lucky to find a parking lot at Changi village. After having lunch there, took a few pics near the bridge. Then cycle down towards CFT to take some pics. Everything go smoothly. Very crowded in every car parks closer to CFT. May be going 2morow...

Thank you for enlightening. How do you make the background blur w/ SW?? Interesting. Sorry, what is "pa jiaoing"? Shoot bird?:bigeyes: Not really, this bird is just right in front of me within 1-2 meters.;p (Focal length=200mm)

Thanks for your feedback. I also feel no strong contrast but how to make the background more differentiate from the target? Still not sure to play with DOF.:what: OK. Just check it's taken at F5.6 1/30" 200FL with auto/P mode. Am I right that if I change Fstop lower/higher and increase speed...

Thanks for the advises. Points noted.:) How abt this?

Trying my new camera (D80 with 18-200VR) first time in the Zoo. I'm new to photography. C&C are welcomed so I can improve on it. Most taken in auto/P mode. :) Bird Series

Hi, just to share my finding. I'm newbie to photography just move in because of my other hobby (Aquarium pet) require me to take some decent shot. Recently I bought a 2nd hand D80 and grab a used 18-55 bcos of the low price just for a start. Then I think must as well go for 55-200 VR to cover...

I have just got a 2nd hand DSLR. I will get a 2nd hand with a period of warranty long enough for me to test out the camera (in case any problem still can send in for repair). Exterior can be inspected by yourself but internal or functional parts has to be tested. Shutter count prefer to be <10K...

Hi, thanks for the tips. Nice pic taken. Are you taking with a tripod and remote shutter? If not, you must have a very steady hand to hold the len and body while shooting.:cool:

IMHO. If you can afford, D80 should be the choice. Else D40/40x is fine. Dun really think the AF-S lens are a limitation. If I'm the manufacturer, I will start to manufacture more AF-S lens which serves all cameras range than others (bigger market share). So I think there wouldn't be difficulty...

Well said. Expert lai liao. Come give me some advise on the above (len selection). Thanks.:)

Thank you for your advise.:) How to do a reverse mount? If needed. Beside handling (Single len is better than 2), how about the image quality from these lens? The value for money or the resale value of these 2 packages if I will to upgrade to 18-200VR or others let say in the near future...

Ya. Have read through some recomemdations but not intend to spend too much for a start untill I 'm serious into it. Also, thot it could be more convenient for me to explore one area (short range n long range) at a time. So option 1 or 2, your opinion pls? or other alternatives which I may have...

sorry, 'hijack' your thread for a while.:) If I already have the D80 body w/o lens, which option would you guys recommend: option 1: Buy a 18-135 Kit lens (cost slightly lower) or option 2: Buy a combo of 18-55mm and 55-200 VR (expect to last longer - more coverage) I'm a newbie who like to...

At least I pick up some good info. here. Thanks for sharing.:D
