    What is a wedding uncle bob?

    How many uncle Bobs actually call up the bride or groom days after the wedding to ask "Hey, wanna see the wedding pictures I took of you two?" Few, if any. Most do it for their own consumption. If wedding photos are not a hobby genre, that would mean landscape pictures are strictly for Nat Geo...

    What is a wedding uncle bob?

    First, ah lian/auntie quarreling on MRT train, then old men on fighting on the bus, next, pros and uncle bobs jostling and shouting at a wedding? Unless the bride/groom are celebrities where there will be restrictions, no one says only pros can take photos at weddings. Only 'bobs' who are...

    Photo processing

    I would strongly recommend you get a copy of PS Elements $200+?. Most photo magazines will make reference either to Elements or PS CS? For all their techniques. Chuck the free softwares. Or if you can beg, borrow or steal a student card, get the full version of PS CS5 at slightly over $100 -...

    Recommended filter for 17-55mm lens.

    If you are just starting out in photography, suggest you just get a Skylight filter. It helps to cut down UV (eliminates bluish cast from your photos) but more importantly, it should be permanently fixed on as it protects you lenses from scratches. Should cost between $30-$50. No need to...

    Availibility of D800 in Singapore (Part 2)

    Thanks so much for the info. Seems like 24-70mm f/2.8 is what I'm looking for. If I'm traveling with family, I will restrict myself to just one lense so as not to try everyone's patience. I will bring my collection if I'm on a dedicated photography tour. Anyone knows if the D800E will be...

    Availibility of D800 in Singapore (Part 2)

    Hi all, I currently own a D200 with a 18-200mm DX VR zoom (all 6 years old). This forum is so lively, especially all the debate over the elusive D800 and D800E. I finally decided that I'm going for the D800E, which will probably be my last camera (I think about the D1000s, if I'm still...

    Taiwan - How To Book Your Train Ticket Guide

    Going there on the 13th:cool: Even though I book both trips separately immediately after they were available online (2 weeks) I end up getting 4 tickets numbering 29-31-33-35 (to) and 37-39-41-43 (return), so I'm just assuming that it's just their seat numbering system.

    Taiwan - How To Book Your Train Ticket Guide

    Hi thanks, this thread came one day after I struggled to book my train tix to Hualien... Just to add on, if you intend to book a return ticket, you first have to book the destination without paying, but take note of the booking code. You then go through the same process to book the return...

    Hanoi/Halong in Winter

    The best thing you can do at the HCM Mausoleum is catch the flag raising ceremony at 7am in the morning which is really the highlight, especially with the guards marching "goose steps" past the building (Bring your telephoto lense though). After that, hang around the square for photo taking of...
