I just can't believe what this guy is up to. Trying to make a $100+ profit on a lens which he isn't the first owner of? http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?p=1723310#post1723310

My eyes are playing tricks on me. #9 - On first viewing I thought the auntie was pulling that lady's hair. :bsmilie:

I got the iCase drybox with hygrometer and silica pack from Carrefour at Suntec for under $30 a few months back. Just big enough for my D70S and three lenses. A bottle of silica gel sells for less than $4 at the camera section, if I can recall correctly. I'm saving for a dry cabinet now as...

Sharper, no. It lets in more light if you're shooting in dim lighting conditions. With that you could shoot at a faster shutter speed to reduce camera shake while handholding. And it also helps to blur the background even more.

JIA LAT? :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

Go to Cathay Photo at Peninsula Plaza. Browse thru the tripod section and you may find one that suits your need. Or just ask the staff there for advice. Really friendly people. Bringing along you camera and lens helps too.

The 2nd pic has a weird effect on me. I actually thought the hands and head were of the same person the first time I looked at it.:bsmilie:

The soft effect for this kind of shots look a little weird for me.

A longer focal length and larger aperture may help to blur the background.

It's common for zoom lens to have dust in them. Each time you zoom air/dust gets sucked into it. If it doesn't affect your images save the time and money, and live with it. Unless its a very serious case. You may want to send it for servicing but after some time dust will get into it again...

Take a little tour of the Digitutor. It might help you understand more about your camera. http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/8400/index.shtml

D70 focussing screen really electronic one meh? I didn't see anything electronic on mine when I replaced it some time ago. But I tried taking some pictures without the focusing screen. The viewfinder was super bright. :bsmilie: But the images suffered some serious vignetting. :eek:

Thanks for the comments, foxtwo. Really appreciate it.:) The two pictures were intentionally underexposed to give the sky a deeper blue because the sky in the originals looked really plain. And also to get a more silhoutted look for the post holding the cables, and the roof. Still got lots...

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa. Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26...

Maybe it's a hot pixel due to long exposures. I used to get lots of these dots using my old Nikon CP775 for night shots. Anyway, the buildings in the picture look like they have a water colour like effect. Is it caused by some kind of noise reduction?
