more fishy shots

i like the first shot, i think it works very well in b/w

are u still on the kit lens? u should post it in TrekLens for more gurus to comment on, it will help u take good photos when there's someone to point out whats good & whats not as good in the pics

trying out some new filters in PS Titanium from Xero

anyone can guess what this is?

yes the TTL still works, the water wheel shot was taken with flash

Hey... if you're not happy with it, I'll gladly take it off your hands!

birthday gift for your son?

u need the 300mm VR N@Z...don't need another D70 i'm keeping my D70 with or without the "s"

going to try and get some test shots with the 200-500mm Tamron with the D70 to see how good that lens is

another good "walkabout" or travel lens would be the AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) from Tamron, want to try out this lens as well at the shop

I really like the shots from that Tamron lens.

the Tamron lens may be a better match for the D70 then the Sigma, but i like the Sigma's F/1.8 feature which allow me to shoot in poor light indoor conditions, the F/2.8 on the Tamron does not remain at 2.8 when u do Macro focus, it moves like a zoom lens extending another full length of the lens body and the lowest F-stop u can get is F/5.6

also heard from a reliable source that Nikon is going to release a new D70 body next month, according to the source, this new body will hav the "s" like D2Hs, has the same specs as the original D70 (same CCD) he suspect that this new body will hav the battery holder/portrait grip option.

this is the guy u see behind the counter at Nikon road shows and the recent IT fair, he's also in contact with Nikon technicians.

took some more outdoor pics with the Tamron & Sigma today

first Sigma 28mm pics

Tamron 90mm pics

90mm Tamron : alley cat

the RSAF also got came along with their "super puma"

a miniature water wheel that my father bought from Malaysia

the "over sharpening" happen after i resize the pics, did not do any sharpening with any of the pics.

i did the resize using "Irfanview" this software givs the samllest file size with losing print size, if i use PS, the pics at this print size will be over 100k or 200k

the pic below was resize using PS, can see the difference from here. they are still the same print size, but the file size is different

i don't hav the luxury of shooting at these locations, i'm lucky if i get to see a blue sky...so i just shoot to and from work

forgot to post pic of the new lens

took some portraits today taken with 50mm lens, the 3 are siblings, not sure what they wanted the portraits for, but it givs me a chance to pratice

outdoor testshots with the Tamron shot from inside taxi

night shots at Bugis

Those Tamron pics I much prefer to your Sigma ones. Maybe the Sigma's images appear softer to me.

 

the 4th pic was taken at ISO800 some visible noise but still acceptable

still trying out the Tamron lens, i think it has more contrast then the Sigma

anyone took pics of the mini meet?

D70 + Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Macro DI

crop out the crack

test shots fake flowers

I think that image belongs to harbortronics.com, the company making the 3rd party battery pack/vertical grip.

yep not my shot

more MRT series

forgot to post this one, taken during off day, going to try and see if can get a shot of the train without people

i still like to take MRT pics

going to try and get one "empty MRT" shot

See his signature, does that mean he's already purchased a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8EX APO IF???

 

If not, go the whole hog maaann... one of these!

no N@Z i did not get the "big gun" but it makes a nice signature, i'm most likly getting the 90mm Tamron tomorrow, then i'll change the signature.

Nikonites...Nikonian...NikonSiao...

Yes interesting effect, how did you do it blues? Zoom in/out after opening the shutter?

 

No fireworks here. Even the lion dance is a little restricted. Coincidently I saw one when I was accompanying my colleague to the carwash earlier this morning. Sadly my camera was in my car.

 

this is how it looks like inside the can
