Nikon D5000 come on in

[Binzento]

your ISO no need scared, can pump to 3200 one for this cam. and it tends to underexpose so try to compensate. suggest u sharpen the photos in picture controls. last pic got red eye do smth bout it u have in cam red eye removal.

Hi oyebto, thks for the advice. For the ISO how high would be ideal for day, and for night?

for pic #1
1. personally I feel can set the fstop higher(smaller aperture)...get a better DOF for the whole car........since u cant get a good bokeh...might as well take the whole car in.
can push the ISO higher so that your can have a faster shutter speed when ur aperture is smaller.
2. shd siam the sign board on the left side, its distracting, got nothing to do with the car.
3. compose the whole of the "stand" and logo on the wall in the right side of the pic ....if cannot siam, might as well compose it all in, rather than leave it half half there....of course if can siam than better...
me also newbie...hope u dun mind....just my 2cents worth.

Hi LiuLangMao, thks for the advice, will take note of what you mention above.

Tried some night shots just now in the evening at Esplanade. Among all my shots this seems to be the best. Was using a remote to shot this.

1EV under 200, 20s, F/16, 0EV

Hi all,
Finally I decided to get the Nikon D5000 with the kit lens & the AF-S 55-200mm DX VR lens.
I noticed on the warranty card (issued by Cathay Photo) for the D5000 camera body, the model no stated “D5000 HK set”, is my set comes from Hong Kong?
Do u guys have the same description on the camera body warranty card?
Thanks!

 

[LiuLangMao]

dun worry too much lah...mine also same....

 

[Amarzaki]

guess what i just found this thread...
hahahaha..
been using d5000 since august..
18-55 kit lens and nissin di622

 

[forward6666]

hey man whats ur feedback on the nissin di622?

 

[kel82]

hi hi welcome to the club..

 

[LiuLangMao]

welcome.....

 

[Amarzaki]

for me its easy to use and it support i-ttl.. mostly use indoor and so far havnt get overexposed.. the built in difuser and bounce card really helpful.. it just slightly better and cheaper compare to sb600.. search the thread for di622 for more specs..
so far i enjoy using this speedlite..

 

[Amarzaki]

anyway, thanx guys for welcoming me haha

 

[oyebto]

anyone has any bright idea to make the grip larger, other than getting a 3rd party grip? its really too small for me..tried gaffe tape but made a mess out of it..

u can try gaffering the grip till its thick enough... hehehe...

or u can use a proper handgrip...

juz my 2cents...

ps:this thread quite quiet lately...

 

[oyebto]

you mean those things that presses against ur outer hand and u kinda slot ur hand in? does it improve grip? i have one but never use lol! hard to fix sia

 

[akerue]

for me it does, when mounting heavier lens, as the D5k grip so so small, with my long fingers the handgrip does help, where got hard to fix easy what.... hehehe...

 

[LiuLangMao]

my hands are big...really big until can hold basketball in one hand type.....but I just used a Grip Wrist Strap, I think is the same thing as wat u describe.....very comfy to use...

dun wanna add more weight to the camera by getting a battery grip....in fact walking that time I just let it hang with my hand....no need to use neckstrap anymore

btw i saw some books on D5000 alone, anyone bought it? any useful tips inside?

Just wondering if anyone has "upgraded" from a D80 to a D5000, and if so, what do you think you've gained and lost? Feel free to reply by PM so it doesn't clutter this thread ^.^

the main lost should be unable to use older AF lenses.
