Thread for Lumix FZ18 and FZ28 Series

[ombre]

Hi, think of getting the DMC-FZ28 to replace my Olympus C5050.

Can the FZ28 able to control the intensity of the inbuilt flash just like my C5050?

that would be flash exposure compensation.Yes.

AY tempted me to post my christmas shots, I was initially too lazy to upload them...

First off, the beloved FZ18

Self-Portrait? make it a group portrait

The not so nice ones first.

All effects done with camera and lens. =) Hardly any photoshoping this time


​

More shots!

Someone got in the pic, but well, he fell exactly on the rule-of-thirds marker so I took him in =)

AY was here!

Zoom effect on Orchard Link! Fellow Fzer at the corner. And Orchard Road or even Singapore is litter free!

Its a good shot! Fellow photographer for that day.

Sorry for the spam!

Using a flash technique taught by a pro in the group. This is the long shutter with a short flash I was speaking of a few posts back. A short flash to grab "Orchard Link" signboard into the scene, and a draggy shutter to blur out the traffic.

Unfortunately I was too lazy to open my tripod for this one, thus, not very sharp.

Low angle shot, with the cars passing by 30cm from me!

Abit over exposed...

My 2nd favorite shot for the night...

Portrait! With my new new lens! =) Initially I said this is my dream lens but now I'm looking to upgrade... again.

Yeah, I forgot to bring my FZ28 to work and then my other half says Let's go to Orchard to see the lights!! So I'm like "what! no super-duper 10MP LUMIX IA mode to help me take better pictures? Oh well so these shots surfaced!!"

Hi all, arrived safely last night, met family at airport and chit chat till late. Slept quite well, weather is so pleasant, not hot like home.

Just had my favourite century egg porridge for lunch, now feel like sleeping again, but have to go shopping with Minister of Finance. Feels good to be back in S/pore.
Looking forward to outing on Sunday, bye for now.

I will meet you guys at Botanic. Coz i'm riding.

 

[ombre]

Sorry to those whom I was not able to reply to coz I was working. Yes please meet at Orchard MRT, inside the station, I think by the controls are the best, since outside the station will be dead pack. Just give me a ring when you get there.

 

[johnjohn1989]

[ricsal]
