    Urgent: Need some recommendations for Pub shoot

    Of course SB600 can used in places with higher ceiling. Set the ISO higher, use aperture 2.8, lower shutter shutter speed, and things will be fine and dandy. Those with really high ceilings will pose a problem to even SB900s. Then again, with such high ceilings, the light coming down will cause...

    Urgent: Need some recommendations for Pub shoot

    let me give my $0.02: I've shot plenty in clubs, pubs, etc. Light Diffuser Personal experience is, omni-bounce isn't the best, I think bounce cards are better. Built in bounce cards are only along one direction: You can shoot landscape, but not portrait. Built in bounce cards are small...

    Photo lacking colour saturation and vibrancy

    dSLRs are never meant to be WYSIWYG. It is a tool that allows you to capture the image, and let you adjust it later on to show others what you want them to see. If you need the richer colours, go with the auto mode. If i'm not wrong it does do some basic pp on the images. Alternatively, use a...

    EOS 5D mkII or EOS 7D or EOS 50D or EOS 550D/500D/450D/1000D (*shutter sound)

    Dudes.. which of your dSLR has a shutter har? I think mine must have fallen off my camera. Last I saw beneth the mirror was just the sensor. I don't even have a curtain. :cry: I also agree, there's no need to be literally correct because we're all absolute newbies who can't distinguish a dslr...

    70-200 MkI vs MkII

When you do, it's in one of those totally unavoidable situation that you'll get flare with any lense anyway. I've not come across a situation where it particular strikes me that "wow...

    Depending what sort of pro you are: 1) pro photog, likely to to stick to mk1 coz should already have 1.. the improvements are marginal, not noticable by the general public, editors, clients. the extra 1k spent won't get you extra $1k of work. 2) pro equipment collector, get the mk2! the...

    buying gears in HK using credit card

    I know my UOB current account charges only $5 per transaction, and it goes at a very favourable exchange rate.. So much so that by withdrawing overseas, I get better rates than to go to local money changers. Of course, the best money changer has got to be the one at Taiwan Airport, offering...
