    Yishun Happenings in June!

    Hiya, there was this YSS thread some time back but it was closed due to the new gatherings guidelines. Glad to see something similar back, just that sadly I'll be away on 6th June. Hope to see more of these gatherings.

    Nikkor AF-S 35mm f1.8G vs Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8D

    Get both. But I would get the 50mm first as it is less than $200 and a really great buy. It's a great way to try out prime lens to see if you can live without zoom. I find that the bokeh is nicer than the 35mm. I think both is equally sharp, being fast prime lens. But as the previous thread...

    Taking portraits and people in general

    Just an update. Yesterday took some pics in a pub and was greeted with a 别拍了 ... So paiseh. Then I remembered the 1st youtube video and told myself to be shameless. 我会再接再厉。I will try again! (in another place).

    Taking portraits and people in general

    Thanks for the links. The 1st one was quite 'in your face'. The other 2 was at least quite non-obstructive. I think a small compact with those flippable LCDs may be a good idea to shoot from the hip. Just that PnS tend to have issues with movements. I guess ultimately I may need to...

    Taking portraits and people in general

    Erm, I like to take candid shots of people on the streets. But what's the correct etiquette? Do I have to seek permission? If I do, it spoils the moment and freezes things up. If I don't, it seems rude... Especially sometimes I see beautiful ladies with interesting faces, that I really...

    I think i jus not good in snapping.

    I'm also a newbie in photography so my thots are worth less than 2 cents. But I feel that the P mode is good enough for most occasions. Putting it in M mode requires a lot of thinking and may cause us to miss the 'magic' moments. But of course, knowing how it works helps heaps when you...

    How to improve the colors of photos taken by D40

    Hi all, I've been playing with my D40 and taken some photos, but i realised that compared to the photos taken with my Canon SI5Pro with normal settings, the colors looks washed out and overexposed. I've tried setting the colors settings to "Vivid" , stopped down 2 stops and nothing really...

    Stefanie Sun Autograph Session 8th April '07

    I once went to a such an event taking some photos with my camera phone. When I came back, my 'event pro' friend who had waited for hours with steps and telephoto lens in tow told me to throw 'my photos in dustbin'. Months later, during Eason Chen's singing-autograph event, I took a video cam...
