i was surprise how low a shutter speed i could go without bluring, taken handheld

What ISO, metering & mode did you use on both photos?

 

Looks like my hand is more shaky than yours. Refering to your second shot, I can't take a shot without getting a slight blur no matter how hard I try without a tripod.

 

Shot today, early morning 5 mins boat ride into town to beat the traffic jam & parking woes for the National Day Parade practice. Particularly cloudy day.

second shot ISO 800 , F3.5 , 1/10 sec , manual mode , matrix metering

u can also try continuous shot at lower shutter speed to beat the bluring

You seem to have allowed the flash to fire off.. Shouldn't have done that..

What white balance do you guys usually set it to? Im experimenting with +3 on Auto WB and getting good results and my exposure is +0.3

[Blues 0]

never touched those.. I just played with the shutter and aperture.. all the rest I meddled in PS

I don't normally change the value, just the presets depending on conditions. I'll give your suggestion a try. BTW shall I split the posts about the D70 into a seperate thread instead?

I think we should separate the thread since most of the discussion on this digital camera thread is on D70. Let us not scare the potential digital camera poster from posting since all they see is a d70 dslr discussion LOL

[Q00 0]

I think that would be best as well since this thread is turning out to be a D70 thread.

 

Would love to see more stuff from other people and dont want to scare them off!

went to back to the shop to ask about the promo this morning...guess what...they offered to sell me the lens @ $88 no need to buy it from Nikon Singapore and my warranty card is still with me, unfilled

Congrats! Hoping to see some shots soon.

 

How heavy is it compared with the kit lens? It doesn't look that much larger.

[tropicalrips 0]

the lens is no as high quality as the kit lens, its also not very good for indoor shots and the mount is made of plastic, but @ $88 its still value for money

 

ask for price of SB600 as well, quoted @ $300 ++ the SB800 may be over budget for me

 

below is a shot of the 70-300mm lens at full extension will be using it to try out some outdoor shots under the sun

for white balance, i usually try to get a custom setting when indoors, just need to shoot at a piece of white paper. the D70 only has 1 custom white balance, with my C8080, i hav custom white balance for my home, work and 2 other memory.
