i guess i need to play around with the ISO settings..

i only can use built in flash...don't external flash gun..

i will definitely bring my tripod..anyone is going this saturday to chinese garden?

remember not to push your iso too high, and if you have to then look out for low contrast areas

Anybody use battery grip on their D60? :lovegrin:

 

[ahtshun23]

i dont think there is a battery grip for D60..

anyone can confirm this?

Thanks

Nope...

D50, D40, D40x, D70, D70s are all beginner's cameras. They were not designed with a vertical grip in mind. These are meant to be small and light.

Adding a grip defeats this purpose in design.

do you use AF-A and set the dial to M while the lens set at A for photo shot?
me try using this to take a few shot pic turns out quite sharpe.
me play with the forcusing on the lens also.

Yup, there is. 3rd party ones. Received mine on Wednesday. Bought from LinkDelight @ Ebay. Deliver in 1 week. Shiok. The vertical shutter works well oso, butno halfway press. It will auto focus and fire the shutter. Comes also with a 6 AA battery pack holder. Gold plated contacts. Useful as my fingers got more real estate to grip the camera. :heart:

your URL image link has to link to the page where the photo is expanded. Don't link to the thumbnail. I think that is the cause.

i read somewhere that camera need to be protected when shooting at beach..is it true?

if yes,how?

 

[wiLLy-LucifeR]

hey there,

yup, tt's true. as it's mainly due to the sand, grit and salt that could get into ur camera body.

i've a gd read on camera maintenance for beach photography stored in my bookmarks. hopefully it'll be of use to u as well.

Also... saltwater is SUPER-CORROSIVE...

[ahtshun23]

how about the front lens?

should it be protected by UV filter or polarizing filter?

i have UV filters on all my lenses, so i dunno, but i'd say use a UV filter, then wipe down your camera/filter with a damp when you get home from the beach. remember to use a fan to blow it dry after wiping. (and make sure the clothe isn't too wet)
