all pics taken without tripod... cos din bring 1, so all handheld, den din have a bubble level & quite hard to gauge the alignment of the building.

food wise, just take for fun with flash... test food shoots...

night is the hardest, alot of blurred images, have to really stabilise for long exposure. but with the AS, it helped alot.

btw, good loc for firework shooting

OMG...the crab..... *crab craving* >_<

Nice shots there man =] I love the way you silouhetted the city buildings and exposed for the sky in some shots.

what lens was used for the food shot? quite bad bokeh. Otherwise, the rest of the shots are ok. The crabs sure looks tempting.

1 way to avoid the problem would be to shot about 1-1.5 stop from the max aperture, depending on the subject and background distance. Landscape shots have aperture typically around f5.6-11 that is why not much problem. But if you have a out-of-focus foreground subject, the problem might surface. No offence to you.

i used the 17-35 i think... cos i din bother to change my lens when i having dinner mah. so if i zoom in at 35, with widest aperature of f4, i think thats y the bokeh not good. also, quite hard to search for the subject due to the lack of proper lighting hence the use of flash.

well, i just that the 2 new lens probably have some limitations. Pay attention to this detail if you are shooting wedding dinner, because there are many of these small ceiling lights that can spoil a good picture. Levelling with handheld is always a challenge. I am still trying hard to keep the camera level with the horizon.

ya... no matter how good your eyes may be, its somehow quite hard to view the horizon via the viewfinder and align with the hand sync to shutter.

i think these 2 lens are value for money but not really high end like those G lens... if really wanna go pro, i think should get the G lens, never seen 1 b4... mayb its those godlike stuff...

The dinner images, some of them are slightly underexposed

ya, esp the vegetable 1, the 5600hs flash is very hard to control. i din +1 or +2 for the flash, after that i tried, sometimes have problem of over exposure... still in learning.

the nightshot is taken with 1/6, but i guess its quite dependent on individual, maybe some might be able to do 1sec or more.
