misato, nice shots and also the night shot you posted. I really wants to go out and get some taken myself. too bad I have not had the time to do that yet. anyway here is a shot I took just now .... my dinner...

did you use flash with the shot? personally, i would prefer to zoom in on one partiular subject to improve the composition of the shot.

thanks for the comment. I did use flash. I also took shots zooming into some of the food but I don't think they look good. I am really new to photo taking so need to learn more about composition of a photo.

Thanks Tweek for the sample pics. Guess the following are on my shopping list :

Lens Adaptor
+4 close-up filter
circular polarizer
teleconvertor (if I can spare the cash)

Cathay photo selling the filters at the following prices:

Hoya +4 Close-Up Filter 52 mm @ S$14.00
Hoya Circular Polarizing Filter 52 mm @ S$40.00
Hoya UV Filter 52 mm @ S$10.00

Don't know the price of the Lens Adapter and the Teleconvertor... The last time I went CP, the sales person I talked to didn't even know that the A40 could attach an adapter and whether they have it in stock... He kept talking to me about whether I want the teleconvertor... Strange right???

Is this the teleconvertor or wide angle lens?

Only a few of them at CP are knowledgeable... A few weeks ago, I went there to buy a carrying case for my G2. I was just chatting with the saleman when I mentioned that I've bought my Black G2 from AP coz CP isn't willing to sell me at the e-quote price, he seemed rather shock... He even asked me if I'm sure that there's a black version of the G2..... :dunno: :bsmilie: :dunno: He only believed me when I showed him my black G2.....

One of my first photos on my newly acquired A40. Still playing with it, so pardon my bad focusing. Scared my camera drop from the balcony....

A bit dark due to the time photo was taken, almost 7pm. Maybe this weekend I'll try again on a brighter time this shot may come out better.

Click here for full size picture.

Guess where I stay.... (no prizes )

Here's a nightshot. 10 secs exposure, aperture 2.8, ISO 50. Handheld (just joking)....

Pardon the two iron grills on the sides.... didn't bother to crop out, lah.

Here's the full size pic.
