finally got my empty train shot

got this before the rain came...

got a chance to try the new Tokina 12-24mm F/4 lens

very cool lens, its also a DX lens like the kit lens, the front end does not extend out when zooming from 12 to 24mm very cool feature price : $1090

there was still not enough light at the time and i did not want to use flash on them while they were hanging outside my shop

took these this morning before opening shop

climbing Sim Lim Square

i believe i was the only one there with a camera so u can say these shots were "exculsive"

i'm using a LowePro Stealth Reporter 100, can carry D70 with kit lens + 50mm + 90mm + SB600 flash.

my shop is selling @ $115 but can discount for SGH's camera siaos

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 correct?

yes

my ah pek / ah beng series is now on hold but i'll be back

trying somthing new

raining again on my offday

that means more home shots

my mixer

the bug flew away at the end of the shoot

A bugs life caught in the kitchen sink

no bug was hurt or kill in this shoot

Does changing the other settings within custom has any affect to the Tone comp.?

u can still adjust the color mode, sharpening, saturation & hue in the custom mode, but the tone comp will remain the same curve that u uploaded into the camera

i like the guestbook & angel shot very much

yes N@Z

the custom curve only works when u set to "custom" on the D70

when u set other settings, it will be the same as the default, i leave my on custom

Rips, if you wish to submit your photographs, I can drop by your workplace and collect from you after my exams in early May. I need to get some supplies for my Digital Media lab in school. Hehe, if you don't mind you can be collection point for SGheadphones

 

Regarding the photographs. There should be no issue with the border, it need not be a borderless print to qualify. However what do you actually mean by cropped pictures ? As in non-standard image size ?

 

Thanks to all for your interest

no problem on the collection point thing

most of my photos hav been crop, no longer standard size, most of them are a little smaller then 8R

i see the top prize is your fav brand of camera will u be taking part too kenshinz?

some questions...the rules says we can submit 8R super 8R or A4 photos, what if my pictures are crop and there's a white border on the print, are we required to trim the prints if we can't get the max print size?

where are the japanese babes idkfa?

i set my WB to "direct sunlight" when i use flash

when indoor under fluoresent light, if the lighting is strong like in public places or MRT stations i set to "standard fluoresent"

at home or when the fluoresent is not as strong i use "fluoresent -1" to remove the blue cast

i've change the default curve to "midtone boost" after about a week of using the D70 this seems to "cure" the under exposure problems, i also usually shoot in 2 modes, i'll take a shot with A-mode then one more with manual mode with the shutter speed set to 1 or 2 stops slower then the A-mode

raining on my offday cannot go out to take pictures...so i went round the house to look for shots

one more guess shot for u guys anyone know what this is

how much does the 8x10 & 12x16 prints cost over there N@Z?

EXIF reader

allows u to see the camera setting in the picture, its a simple .EXE file without need for installation, its also able to generate thumbnails and view Jpegs

Epson has better photo print results, Canons color don't look as "real"

i want the printer for enlarging prints, cause the lab charges $5 for 8R & $6 for super 8R, but 4R is only $0.35

10 pcs of 8R prints will cost me $50...a little more and i can get my own printer

any of u guys print out your shots?

i hav a few of my fav shots printed by a photo lab and the results were great, some of them actually look better on paper

going to get a new printer soon, maybe tomorrow...Epson C65 and mod with external ink tanks so i can print! print! print!

my contribution for today...not sure why i took this shot

blues, i like the Clifford Pier shot very much i hav seen another version of the same shot by someone call "LemonLogix" she has very creative photos on Treklens

Both have 2 inch lcd's and the D70s will have a wireless transmitter accessory or something like that and a wired shutter release cable.

a wired shutter release cable means it can take the portrait grip without being modded and no need to use remote shutter trigger

Rips where is TK photo located?

Beach Rd, Shaw tower
