    "Small island, small minds?"

    That's going off topic now, but... Well, no one was insulting your ancestors. That's for one. Second, it's ironic to read your comment quoted above, after you accused caucasians of superiority complex. Yes, it's too bad that some of us suffer from that bad nasty trait. And you too, by the way...

    Is there a big diff compare being a singaporean, a pr, or a foreigner

    I have been looking for a resale flat for some time and have seen quite a few flats till now. Generally the flats in old buildings require renovation and these in the new buildings (5 - 8 yrs old) are quite expensive (and still often require a simple renovation). And this despite it being...

    D70 shutter problem

    It's common in Europe, that the time your faulty equipment under warranty is at the service centre, will extend the warranty time. If the equipment is already outside warranty, then the warranty for serviced parts will apply. Not sure how long - maybe 3 months, might depend on a country...

    Monitor Calibration?

    You need to calibrate your monitor to match the device/lab you are using for making prints. You can try to do it in a simple manual way although of course it won't be that accurate as using specialized hardware/software solution. You need a print from your lab or printer, and the original...

    Canon A70 CF Queries!

    Depends on one's specific needs. For example, with the way I shoot 1GB + my current 512 MB will be enough for up to two weeks, and a CF is definitely much easier to look after and lug around than such Nixvue storage.

    What range for exposure bracketing?

    Usually the cameras allow to compensate up to +/-2. Any idea in what conditions it might make sense to compensate that much?

    What range for exposure bracketing?

    Hi, I wonder what range do you usually set when shooting in exposure bracketing mode? Also, are there any general guidelines/tips for deciding most useful range? I am asking this question with regard to shooting digital, when there is immediate feedback on the preview screen of...

    Canon A70 CF Queries!

    Hi SoccerKing! Which shop in SLS sells 1GB CF for $175? Was it starting price or after bargaining? I will be travelling (hopefully) next month, and I don't want to bring notebook for me, so I was thinking about getting 1GB CF for my camera. Slow speed is OK for me, I am not shooting fast...

    Resizing Photos for 4R prints

    They need to crop a little bit (about 5%?) for borderless printing. If you print with borders, there should not be any cropping.

    Swamp of Sungei Buloh

    This is a fantastic picture. I don't mind over exposure - actually I think it adds up to the mood, makes me feel the heat of the day and the humidity of the swamps. Great work, Julian!

    Debate on $500 wedding package

    Kudos to your sis's mentor, but to leave his job was his own decision which does not entitle him to be exempt from competition against other photogs, also on price. As someone else wrote in this thread, to each his own... If wshooter chooses to charge less than you, then yay to him and his...

    Promotional offer for Actual Wedding Day and Events

    If $500 hobbyist destroys a Pro's business, then it means that Pro's photos are not that much better for the customers to justify his higher price. If that's that case, maybe it's time for the Pro to stop complaining and either offer a better price (lower or throw in some extras) or try to...
