Taken with E-510 & 14-42mm kit lens @ 17mm cropped, f/3.8, 1/80s and ISO 800.

Use Manual Exposure but AF and stand on 2 legged tripod for more stability.
I can't use Auto Exposure/Metering due to difficult lighting condition and can't use Manual Focusing due to bad eye sight.........hehe :embrass:...........Enjoy Guys!

Nice composition with the rays of light that lead to the subject. :thumbsup:
May I know where you took this shot? Is this place a theatre or studio?
Haha! Why you post the smaller version, can't see clearly leh.

I like the B&W Treatment here......Nice Tone and Texture.......Would like to see a wider/bigger picture to show the relationship between them.......this is also good in this tight crop too.

Excellent lighting and mood!
When I see this picture, the first impression comes into my mind is the movie "Lust & Caution". I find the model hands a bit tense, it makes me feel that she might be hiding a weapon somewhere. :bsmilie:

Wo....W! Instant Fave! This is super duper! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
The Details and Sharpness is simply incredible! See until eyes pain!
Till now I've never seen my own picture so sharp as yours..........it must be due to the quality of the lens, right! I think I kana poison again! Awesome Shots!

One of my available light shot in Perth, Australia @ King's Park Botanic Gardens.
Taken handheld with E-510 & 14-42mm kit lens @ 21mm, f/5, 1/10s and ISO 800.
The picture is a bit blur have to sharpen like mad (pai say to show you all)......... what to do like I said before with 'IS' I'm getting quite lazy nowadays to use tripod for my night shoots.
Hehe........anybody want to sell their f/1.4 lens to me?

Superb handheld skills. :thumbsup: Mind sharing your settings for those 2 shots?

Anyway, sharing my first attempt on dragonfly shots with the 70-300 lens:

A surprise "catch" at the Botanic Gardens:

Superb handheld skills. :thumbsup: Mind sharing your settings for those 2 shots?

The first shot settings are 26mm, ISO400, 1/8s, F/4, -0.7EV
The second shot settings are 26mm, ISO400, 1/13s, F/3.4, -0.7EV
The IS is really useful.

I find that when taking night scenes with high contrast like the above 2 shots, I need to compensate the exposure to -0.7EV in matrix metering. Whereas for daylight low contrast scenes, the matrix metering has to be compensated with +0.3EV or +0.7EV.
Did you encounter this problem in the matrix metering? :dunno:

Finally you got your 70-300mm and EX-25 tube?
Your dragonfly is very sharp:thumbsup: I have yet to try macro shot
May I know the setting? What flash did you use? and did you use tripod?

Doubt I can get such steady shots at 1/13 or 1/8. Nice.

Sorry. Not sure about the matrix metering but I do hv to play around with EV to get the desired exposure in both night or day shots.

Yup. gotten a 70-300 but no tube yet. Nobody's selling theirs.

Dragonfly shot at 1/250, F8, 239mm, ISO100, -0.7EV.
It was handheld with no flash used. Was a very bright day with scorching sun. Sweat:sweat: But then around 60% of the shots turned out blur due to handshake.

toa payoh lor 7 blk 3?

really nice title for the 2nd pic. wonder how if would be like if you did a b&w treatment with emphasis on the individual 'spotlight' over each door. its like a gallery of doors.
