btw, i had a old tamron 80-200mm manual focus lens (canon mount), possible to convert to nikon mount?

can be use on DSLR if it is not a AF?

Yes, possible.

 

You will need to get a EOS-to-Nikon Mount. Even with AF, you will still need to use Manual Focusing.

 

Cheers

sorry, i tend to agree with scud. nothing beats the excitement of slides and b/w

i prefer the medium format slide. way superior to digital anyday.

 

but then again, since i also like b/w and developing/processing my own film. my slr is still here to stay

Cos I prefer to see my shots instantly on the laptop.

[scud]

since more and more bikers have cams, shall we go shooting together one fine day?

Potrait shoot at Bedok Reserviour

need to tweak a little of the curve in Photoshop, the default exposure is a little dull...

Just loaded the fotogenetic curve, need to try out to see if it is any good.

 

when do you guys want to go out and shoot? i can learn something from you all, heheh... next weekend will go to service my old lens and get the adaptor... hope it is not so expenive, already broke laio after buying this cam...

 

the free 2GB CF card given by HN is good, 1 Lexar Proffesional 80X high speed, & 1 normal Scandisk CF. The lexar one label RP$450...

[Lmodel]

Your photos appeared to be under exposed.

 

Perhaps you can try downloading the sReala curves to your D70s (highly recommended). Also, put your EV to +0.3. Dun worry abt anything now. Just go out and SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT!

 

Btw, it is a MUST to protect your lens with a filter.

[Sev]

oh, fotogentic curve not as good as the sReala curves?

i'll download it tonight, must do it quick before the trial Nikon Capture goes expiry...

 

already book the UV filter from one seller in Clubsnap, man, that forum is good, lots of info & the buy & sell section got a lot of good bargains.

[Sev]

got a 67mm Tokina UV filter ($20) & wireless remote control ($18) from MS yesterday. They do nothave stock for the cord type...

 

 

i will do some shooting this sunday.

Someone will pull wheelie and i will take photo for him.

any advise on the shutter speed?

Hand held or tripod?

 

the continue shooting mode of D70s cannot work simultaneously with the remote control, hmm...

[Sev]

Took some pic today, first try on B& W...

D70s has no B&W mode, i'm using photoshop for post editing...

Trying using a Portrait mode instead of landscape for such photos. Avoid cutting off the tree in half and if you need to go low to capture it, go on all fours.

 

Always take your photos in color coz you can turn color into B&W but to turn B&W into color, :cry:

 

Nevertheless, nice try and go take more photos. Btw you can check out SLCC courses for newbies to learn more abt your D70s. Afterall it costs only $20.00

[scud]

Lmodel, what is yr nick is CS?

[Sev]

The course is very basic but enough for you to understand the basic terms used in photography.

 

Haha dun be limited by your creativity. You can "zoom" out with ya legs, back and forth.

The entrance to the bridge is currently covered by the construction site. The bridge is situated just beside the mini bus interchange under Sheares Bridge along Boulevard Ave.

[Sev]

Went up the bridge and took some photo, not good, still gonna do it next week again...

I still confuse about the hyperfocusing, read some book, still can't get it correctly...

the skyline view i took mostly are soft, still can't figure out how to get sharp pic...

 

The new custom curver is good, it give balance exposure and not much photoshop work to do.

[Lmodel]

Hi Sev,

 

Most of your portrait shoots looks more like snapshoot to me. If possible, try to contain less of the background. Many of the shoots are cut off rather abruptly. Perhaps you can go get a 50 f1.8 (ard $180) and trying using f2.2 to f2.8 to get a shallow DOF for Portraits.

 

As for the landscape, it is generally well executed but try to show more of the sea since there's nothing much left in the sky. The softness is not because of the camera or techniques but becoz of your kit lens. Try to apply USM using Photoshop for a sharper photo.

 

Hope you enjoy shooting and continue shooting!

 

Cheers
