you need models can try those female pentaxian haha...

Cannot, later their other half jealous. Only they have exclusive photoshoot rights. :bsmilie:

After y'day, I realized that a long lens seems to compensate somewhat. On a short lens (Eg.50), there will be a need to stop down to slow shutter speed, but this increases DOF. A longer lens like a 85mm or 135mm should still give shallow DOF while stopped down. I read about using an ND filter as well, but no chance to try so far.

It just might. But there are issues regarding trigger range. Also curiously, the trigger kept misfiring in the tunnels (Fort Canning), even at close range.

This one is interesting to me. Shot using HDR standard mode. I like the 'strong' setting better but I screwed that one up with camera shake when I depressed the button. Overall, I've not used this much, but I'd say that its pretty satisfactory.

I like the way it turned out. there's no halo on the sides of the building. :thumbsup:
