Puting aside any perceived squabble from my part, let me voice out objectively on the critique's corner. Why do we post our photos and be subjected to criticism --> We aim to improve on our photo shooting skill and not make the same mistake. We do it openly in a forum as fellow photographers may...

of course i want to make this public. i have nothing to hide. in fact, i am generating more traffic for Clubsnap. This is just so anti-photography-learning for a newbie like me. What damaged have i done by accidently just posting anopther picture?

and just now i got another PM: "a picture's worth is only determined by the creator. the purpose of the rules is to force each poster to self-reflect on what is best to put up for critique. it's not allowable that members keep changing pictures they put up for critique. if you want to read...

I know what follows may well get myself into hot soup with the moderators here, or probably even getting myself banned here. but i feel unjust with the words put through to me, in private. I posted a picture of my 1 week old son in the critique corner and gotten a few honest feedback. Intent...

agreed...right limp was not captured fully, did not really have the time nor composure to analyse the whole viewfinder during that time, and as for focusing, i guess i might have tried to focus in between the eyes but just lost it in order to capture THE moment :)

Hi, thanks for your input was using a 50mm prime (1.8) at 2.2 Av and yes camera is a 1.6x. you are right to say no flash was used and ISO was at 400. camera is a 450D. The baby is 4 days old and at the crucial moment to capture the smile which is rare, i barely had a split second to adjust...

Thanks bro....any suggestion to improve?

oops...don't know how to embed the picture...:embrass:

Hi All. The above is the reason why i recently got a DSLR. This is one of my first attemps in "portait" shots. IMO, i would prefer the whole head to be in focus rather than just the mouth and nose. I do not know the reason why the eyes and above are not in focus....lens too near to subject...

thanks guys. i now know what to do...start slow :)

hmm.....i highly doubt that i will go into the L lenses :) any idea is the end result of a Hoya vs a B+W significant, assuming all other parameters are the same? sorry if my questions sound stupid :embrass:

Thanks Estel. I would love the 1.4, but as a newbie and not too financially endowed, i have since bought the 1.8. i like it better as compared to the kit lense 18-55mm. in short, cheap and good :thumbsup:

For a newbie, is it necessary to get a branded CPL like B+W or Heliopan? Or would a simple Hoya or Kenko be sufficient? i know it is not a big amount of money, but i am in the phase of start-up cost, which is a sudden spike in my expenditure. :o

having worked closely with Chinese factories, i second the above.

Hi Caleb. Nice photos...so is it a good lense now or a good photographer???
