I see. Well, if there is going to be a next time, hopefully you will have more time with them.

Hmm. How much time do you have with these guys? Any other shots to share? From the title, I was expecting a lot more... than just insipid mugshots of the shooters.

It's difficult to comment on the photographs, because they are a total mess. No composition, no emotion, no timing. Too loose, too dark, too blur. Well, you can only get better from here. How about working on these two areas for starters: - 1) Shot selection - You chose to display a...

Don't think #3 is OOF. More likely due to motion blur caused by ambient light still registering in the photo. Same goes for #2 (hands). Looks like I am the only fella who is not impressed. Main bone of contention is that the photographs seemed to be conceived with lighting first...

Yup, time and time again Singaporeans need to be reminded of how pampered they are, and how it is an honour for them to serve in their nation's military. And how they should really refrain from criticising their neighbours, for that is so, so, so insensitive.

If you're not in Singapore already, why don't you come to Singapore and get pampered, and enjoy the security and economic growth that most SEA countries can only be envy of? Singapore loves foreign talents. I'm sure you're one of them. Come come, don't shy. Don't need to serve NS either.

Why is there a need to explain or justify the medium that you're working with? Insecurity? Low-self esteem?

hey alex did you play in the game? there's a winger in the SG side with the same name.

Yes, this i know, and it's really no secret, hence my "Drive at 7am to avoid ERP" rant - all the big hoo-ha over nothing. I might as well add that I've got another method for exposure compensation while in Manual mode - it's a really, really, really big secret... without changing settings, slap...

Still don't understand how changing ISO values in a DSLR can result in exposure compensation in manual mode. You mean by changing ISO, even if the simulated match needle is at 0, the image can be exposed say +/- 1 stop? For film I can understand since the ISO of the photographic medium is...

Perhaps 'has not gone through the approval process' is more accurate. Cathay's not going to jump through the hoops to get the Pocket Wizards approved by IDA to sell... what... 100sets? How're they going to recoup the test fees? 'Not approved by IDA' would indicate that the PWs have gone...

The custom function to disable the flash from firing is in the camera, not the flash. Nonetheless, a quick glance at the 40D manual doesn't seem to indicate a custom function that can disable the flash. On the 30D it's C.Fn-7. Disable the flash from firing via your camera, point the lens at...

You can disable the external flash via the camera's custom functions. AF assist is retained on the external flash. Can't help you with whether to get a 430EX or 580EX, but if you're getting more than one flash then not advisable to get the 430EX as one of your choices. Your off-camera...

IVPs ain't exactly competed at a very high level so you've got to work even harder for the shots. If the photos are meant for sale to the general public I think the quality is sufficient; otherwise they're really run-of-the-mill. Cropping is way too loose and the angles are undynamic...

Shot with this about a year ago. Image and build quality should not be a consideration for this lens; don't pixel peep @ the tele-end and you're fine. I always consider the 28-300 as a work lens. As someone has pointed out, greatest advantage is versatility (but you already know that) and...
