First shoot for model with FA77

Nice model shots.
my few cents :
1. You may want to play with the levels a bit to bring up the exposure and overall contrast.
2. Get a portrait touch up software (it makes a big difference and imo, is essential nowadays with the expectation of models with flawless skin)
3. Dodge the eyes a little.

Streaked Weaver - I missed this migratory bird when they were in SG.
Glad I managed to capture in Thailand with yellow plumage which the one in SG doesn't have.

The bird perched on tall grass on the drain, so it's actually not taller than 1m from ground.
I shot from inside vehicle thru the windows with bean bag as support.;p

Busy working like mad,but still take a break once a while.

K5- FA43 cutting edge tools, but pls pardon my finger prints on the crystal.
Shooting at wide open handheld in a good lighting condition,no flash used.

I had the opportunity to shoot a lightning from my room window during last night's stormy outbreak.
It was a lucky shot as i was just testing the exposure in AV mode, handheld, when it flashed down.
Just like to know how the experts here shoot lightning bolts. There maybe discussions on this topic but still, it is better to hear from you all personally. ;p
Here's my lousy shot...:embrass:
