I am targeting at the WC too......the perspective view is very attactive on landscape/travel photo...will buy if my business trip is confirm....if not, save up 1st.

Hi All,

Please note the new batch of Raynox DCR6600PRO lenses will be in Singapore very soon, but quantity very limited, around 5pcs only, I think.

Kindly go to the Raynox Product thread to book this item. First come first serve. At $210nett, much better quality than original WC lens, said our customers upon viewing.

Thanks,
Jim, McGill

#3 Bench and Flower

Thanks for viewing!

gd attempt at flora photography.. but sry to be alittle harsh.
#1.. i had a similar picture as dat but of a small flower rmbr? wat i'd gained frm comments of dat is to watch ur background.. rather messy and overexposed.
#2.. i wld prefer less walkway as now it looks like e point of attention is rather centralized (to me).. btw, y is e bench so orangey? taken durin sunset?
#3.. i can see wat u're tryin to achieve but it doesnT really work for me. perhaps show more of e bench? hmm.. wat i find dat makes tis pic. bare is the space between the bench, the pebbles and the flowery shrubs.
btw, wat ISO did u use? looks a tad noisy for me..

hi...

fireworks festival 2006 is here again...

check out this website http://www.unusual.com.sg/sfw2006.html for the schedule and location...

good chance to practise shooting...

Hey bro, long time never hear your comments, good that you still do

#1 You r right, the background is a bit messy and overexposed....the flower in the foreground was under the shadow of a building and the background is in the sun, thats why. I back ground is no choice....think it's worse if I shoot the background with the road and building...I understand the typical photography standard is "clean" background, but I think personally I like the overall feel of the pic, which can tell me more about the environment, than just the obj alone.....may be I am more incline into travel shoot, where the environment is also part of the pic, unlike nature macro shoot, where the aim is to capture the obj (flower, insect, animal...) only. This is just my personal preference, and I am not defending myself or being offended leh, hope you are not offended woh.....keep you comment coming!!

#2 Yah, it was shot at around 6pm...harsh sunlight. But happen to be there at that time.
Erm, the orange is caused by saturation adj....:bsmilie:

#3 You are saying you prefer more space between the bench? If you are saying the noise on the bench, it is the actual texture of the bench. All the setting shouldn't be above ISO200. Got to check when I am home...

I am thinking that this 3 pics look quite like water colour painting....what do you think if I PP them with water colour effect?

Hi Static,

I do PP the pics. Actually I always find my pic a bit underexposed when I view on my comp. But when I was shooting with Tv mode, I will adj the shutter speed till I get my aperture set to f4.0, so it shouldn't be underexposed rite.....duno why. Any one has any advise?

O, I thoght if I resize with PS, the exif will remain?? O, it doesn't, why har??

Thanks.

Lastboltnut, do other pples pics on the forum look underexposed to you also? If yes, may be your monitor setting. If not, check the exposure compensation setting in the function menu of the cam and see if it is at 0. If it is already at 0 compensation and you still find your pics underexposed, try setting it to slightly positive. Another thing is if you meet up with someone who got the cam, you may want to compare by taking the same thing under identical conditions to see if the pics turn out different. If really different, mebbe should ask the service center if anything wrong with the cam.

 

[lastboltnut]

Ha! My son....waiting for him to learn to sit by himself....then can shoot and shoot

Din see you post in the gallery with your 350D pic...

The cam exposure compensation is at "0", I check that constantly....yah, may be have to meet up with my friend and compare with his S3. Thanks.

[lastboltnut]

Hey david, thanks again for your encouraging words.

If you decide to go to SFF and would like to join Static, GeckoZ and me PM us.

What can I say, as the word 'travel shooting' suggest...you will have to 'travel' too.

 

[lastboltnut]

Yah, trying to shoot whenever I have the chance. That's why I cherish every outing I have and shoot at NTU too when I visited them for about 1+ hour. But my company doesn't allow me to bring cam, so I dun have my cam with me everyday....

Edited: Hey, forgot to thank you for your invitation.
