To sonngx :
Thanks a lot for your C&C. Each camera brand has its own plus minus, as long it matches with you and can achieve what you want to get, it will become good camera for you. Probably exploring more for the setting configuration, it will bring out the real power of your camera with its own character ;p


To ovaltinemilo :
For your C&C, I really want to say thank you so much because it encourages me to take more and nicer photos ;p

Beautiful photo. How did you make the color of the sky so vivid? And did you sharpen the photo in CS or did it come out of the camera so crisp? :thumbsup:

Thanks alot for your massage and C&C ;p
I took the photo at afternoon time, and at that time the sky it self was quite clear blue, so I didn’t use any filter like CPL or ND Gradient. The camera setting is manual mode, with creative style is landscape, DRO (dynamic range optimizer) is LV+1, Zone +1 (so the shaded area of building become not so dark and still can capture the detail of it) and WB (white balance) is Auto WB (because the existing condition of lighting and color of the object was fine already). Here is the complete meta data / exif data of it :

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 24 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire
Date and Time (Original): 2010:06:26 18:05:17+08:00
Metering Mode: Center-weighted average
Color Space: sRGB
Exposure Mode: Manual
White Balance: Auto
Scene Capture Type: Standard
Contrast: Normal
Saturation: Normal
Sharpness: Normal
Compression: JPEG (old-style)
Creator Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows

At Photoshop CS 2, I used some tool for the editing (pp), which are :
Brightness -5, Contrast +5
And color balance tool to tune the color abit so it becomes more unique and closely to what i want / prefer.
And I did the masking (using curve tool) so it can make enhance the brightness vs darkness so it not so flat for gradation of light and color.
ofcourse the will be alot of way to do the editing (pp), and i am sure you also have your own powerfull style to edit all your photos to get result that you want ;p
