seems to me that you wanted to create a nice bokeh for the sake of the bokeh. but you do forget that the bokeh is meant to isolate your subject from your background (or foreground, depends on the subject). a good isolation of this object (what's that actually? dono the name) is to shoot it...

you should probably zoom on the wording. That would get the effect you wish to achieve

You can also check this web site: http://strobox.com/ lots of images with full instructions of each - how it's lighted. You can try to find a similar image and compare.

looks like Rome to me..

Use manual mode mostly when you are shooting static objects or scenery/landscape. When you have the time to set f-stops and shutter speed. If shooting ppl or street, I'd really recommend AV mode, as you control the f-stops to get a shallow/wide DOF, and set the brightness of your image (the...

wow, a real pro! taken from the national geographic

that depends on your setup.. DLNA is of (at least) 2 parts: a DLNA server and a DLNA client. A server is the machine (either computer or even some new mobile phones) that hosts the media files and would send them to your client. The client on the other hand (might be a TV or a setup box)- is...

Just to add a bit - Yes there is a lens flare - if you intended it to be there that's okay. The image is slightly slanted (the building is leaning to the left) and a simple crop/rotate would fix it. Either than that I like it! I like the reflecting of light on the sidewalk. Have fun...

I think your photos are nicely composed and you do have the nerves to approach and take shots of ppl. BUT -- your portrait photos are very dark and it would do wonders if you would add some fill light in the form of flash (for example the photo of the old lady). All said is in one exception -...

oh yes.. I think you want to check where have the picture gone.. as there is non. Maybe too expensive lah?

after advice to play around with WB, I came out with some nice results. Here this one no more "blue" buildings IMG_2905 by jazz cool, on Flickr And here are 3 versions of the same image, playing with WB and colour lumi/saturation ver 1 ver 2 ver3 cheers!

Hey you are right regarding the tilt. I did not think of it while photographing - the more the object is at the top of the image the more distorted it would become. Good point here, as I'm now still learning through trail and errors, next time I'd give a shot to put the buildings in the...

Here's mine, all look more or less the same as the others.. I put some comments on each, your own C&C are welcome. pic #1 (a bit under exposed but emphasis is on colours) IMG_2864 by jazz cool, on Flickr pic #2 (maybe should have crop the sky out a bit more) IMG_2860 by jazz cool...

Thanks, I also have a deeper view image from the gutter. I remember you also took it, where's yours? Put it up for us to see. I use Flickr to share my sets, the permissions and setup is most convenient. You can also upload to the image hosting here in CS but there are some limitations (file...

Thanks! I wore white shirt but easier to remember - the only Ang Mo guy there.. :P Liked your bird shot!
