yea same as me, i bot my nikon D70 for my cousin wedding but shortage of cash for flash.. that was last year lah

 

been waiting to have a flash.. wanna try try take potrait pic of my cat.

 

wanted to buy SB400 but sekali my fren offer me his SB600.. so i guess i just grab the sb600. cheers

For your cat? Do not use direct flash and if possible, do not even use flash on animals. Their eyes are sensitive to light and the flash will probably hurt them.

its not direct flash of cos, obviously their eyes get hurt, lik eus if we see direct flash, color change('red eyes')....

i'll bounced it.

 

thanks for the advice.

actually u can DIY your own bounce card.

a white cardboard is available from artfriends.

get the one with abt 1mm thickness. one piece of this c/board can be cut into 4 (or more) bouncecards.

 

lightsphere (LS) is another luxury item which i seldom use, less than a bounce card. but flash coverage from LS is more evenly distributed and good to eliminate hot spot.

so i can jus get those 'weigh' card from art fren or maybe from Popular bookstore? so i can actually jus use a simple white card as long as ithas 1mm thickness?

 

sorry cos this question may seem like 'duh' to most ppl but i'm jus a beginner..

cheers

in fact, any white card can do, u can buy from artfriends or popular.

there is no hard rules for card thickness. if too thick then u may have problem in keeping the flash head pointing at an angle.

 

speaking from experience, i once used a paper plate as bounce card before.

Thanks bro , Scud...

 

i need an advice. i saw someone selling their AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm 3.5-5.6G ED Lens. izzit wise for me to sell off my current 18-70mm lense and get the 18-135mm? and how much do you think i should sell my lense at?

i'm using the video tape cover as my bounce card.

just cut into a rectangle shape.

velcro it to my SB600.

it is free and very useful.

Hi Newbie here!

 

anyone has any comments on Canon S3IS?

 

actually considering between this and A710, prefer S3 for its 12Xoptical zoom...

 

btw, how big can a 6mp camera develop the max?

 

how much is the market rate for S3 and A710 at the moment?

 

Thanks!

tips? how abt reading from books or organise a group outing and learn from each other?

[Sev]

what scud said is correct, not much tips, practice more and you get to know what setting to use in what situation.

i got my flash not long ago also, still learning how to use if...

 

scud, when you wanna do a night shoot again?
