GXR + A12 50mm Macro

I think you should get even closer to make full use of that increased DOF.
Congrats on the new Toy.

Passed by a Harvey Norman sale yesterday, EP-1 only $500+, their prices sure fall fast....
But, I am greedy, want Kx like high ISO performance, so have to wait for the current crop of EVIL to drop price before thinking about it again.

cannot go closer - already at minimum focusing distance (7cm) ;p but its only 1:2 max magnification so DOF is more forgiving. the sensor is aps-c so if paired with a raynox for 1:1, DOF will still be very shallow.

Oh.. ok.
I thought its smaller sensor.
M-mount module sure is tempting.
I got 2 LTM lenses. Maybe they will come in useful one day

More Penang series from my new thread "My Penang My Experience" - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/threads/947098-Supersimon27-My-Penang-.-My-Experience

7# Goddess of Mercy Temple - This temple is dedicated to Kuan Yin. The 1st Foundation was laid in 1728 by Chinese settlers and completed in 1800 ** I did waited for quite a while before all the Pigeon start flying off the ground

13# Landscape - Batu Feringgi Beach (part 1) in HDR

Nice ones from Penang. Maybe I should venture out to do some sightseeing next time I am there for work.

The beach shots is HDR?

agree with that looking forward to its release. if the price is reasonable and the sensor performance is good, it is certainly a viable compact, high-performance setup for those times when a DSLR is not feasible or convenient to bring out.

A saddening sight in Singapore..

haha... its a good compact setup lah... there are problems with outdoor use - flash is a problem. still experimenting there.

WK, these are simply awesome...
Just wished I had the time to go out and catch the lovely light in your shots.

[elavan]

started work recently, so feeling tired and lazy

2x5 horizontal frames. the fisheye-like stitching works this time, if not this is just a flat perspective. K7 & sigma 10-20

anyone trying fireworks later at night here? :bsmilie:

Nice perspective. Too bad you didn't catch any light trails from cars. where is this? is it open to public?

Thanks Denis. Hope you do have time soon. Lower Peirce remains a firm favourite for peaceful pictures.

Bras Brasah Complex HDB, it is open to public but please try to be quiet and be nice to the residents - I always say this because I have observed huge groups of photographers just clogging up HDB corridors and in short, being a public nuisance, chatting loudly and making a ruckus and bringing up the Ugly Singaporean in themselves. I mean, if I came home and I had to say "excuse me" to the whole row of photographers blocking my way, and then I couldn't catch some shut eye because they were all talking loudly outside my house, I would imagine that I would be pissed. /endrant

Thanks for the pointers Edutilos. No worries for me though... loner always go alone! haha

Another sunset from MBS Sky Garden.
The day was a bit hazy which limited the view beyond, but at least the clouds was sparse enough and the sunset brilliant.
Can't ask for a better day.

FA*21/2 shot at f8

Some photos from this year's NDP shot using two extreme focal lengths, 10mm and 500mm. Saw two young guys with K-5/7 and some DA* lenses around Esplanade. Anyone here?
