i ainT any pro either.. but here's smth to share abt. night scenes as well.

great shot

i guess if we want sui sui handheld night photos, dslr is the way to go next
no complaints abt day shots though

OT again :nono: Anyway, even dSLR will not give you great handheld shots all the time. You will still need a tripod for long exposures.

focus at infinity..

Kindly explain what is focus infinity? For night shot i am using manual. but day i am using Av.

great shot

thank u..

yupz.. agree. even e best of equipment may nt gif u e best handheld shots.. u nid some suppot.

manual focus.. max distance to focus at. at such a distance, e depth of field is rather deep.. so it makes no difference when u use a large aperture for shallow DOF or small ones for deep DOF. best is focus at infinity to ensure all at in focus..
i'm nt too sure how to explain it.. perhaps cerebrus can help? or felixcat888? anyone..

When did I become the expert? :dunno:

Without going into the actual physics, think NightZ88 is talking about hyperfocal distance. Bascily, it is a point where you focus to, so that the depth of field is all the way to infinity behind the subject & almost all the way to the camera infront of the subject. Is that what you mean?

I normally use this to calculate. Set aperture to f4.0 (or whatever you want). Set focus to 2m. I have yet to try this though, might do it later when it stops raining.

SZG..

Might have mis-focused on the tree behind.
Due to this problem, I normally take a few pics

hmm.. e original seems fine. dunno y it looks alittle OOF here..

Could be photobucket. :dunno:

Have an interesting picture to share, have posted it in the landscape forum

taken at SMU?

how did u take dat?

Shhh.... cannot let out all my secrets! :bsmilie:

I merged a four exposures. Then did two different types of HDR mergings. I then combined both images & did about of 10min of PP via PS.

hmm.. interestin. but i nt really into tis type of shot.. me and my nature. wld be worth tryin though..
