Hi Guys, I do not expect to replace my current Canon system until I head out east for the winter in Oct/Nov, but my current target is a Sony A900, or better still a cheaper lower spec. FF replacement, with a yet to be announced Tokina 10-17mm fisheye. I had expected to buy it in Singapore but...

Hi Guys, What fish-eye and ultra-wide lenses are there for the A900. Ideally I am looking for something in the 8mm to 16mm range? Pete

Hi Guys, A few weeks ago, when the details of the 5D MkII were announced I was all for buying a 5D MkII, (once the price settled down). I already have a Canon so don't need to be told how good they are. However the Sony A900 leaves me very unsure. When it comes to high ISO and noise the 5D...

Hi Guys, Over the past months I have posted here a few panoramas that I took around the Singapore River. This time here are a couple from England, from an indoor market in Newcastle upon Tyne. Yeah, the home of that football team with the black & white strip. If you think that this shopping...

Hi Guys, I took this pano last October but because it had problems with moving subjects and because I had a better pano of Smith Street I never bothered to pay much attention to it until yesterday. I decided to re-edit it, and in the end was satisfied. As I'm sure I've said before...

Hi Guys, Here's a place with which you are all familiar. The interesting bit is that it is a night-time panorama with people walking around. If you ever try such a panorama you'll find that it is tricky avoiding motion blur, and getting images to match up when people are walking by. It is...

I was walking down Campbell St., Penang at 9:30 in the morning when this girl, seeing the camera around my neck, shouted across the road, "Take my photo". I crossed the road and shot the photo without stopping walking and kept going. I didn't know what I might be letting myself in for ;-) I...

Hi Guys, I guess this must be the second most popular place for taking photos of Singapore, so to be a little different here is a 360° pano. I took it a couple of months ago and never got around to processing it because I was "pee'ed off" with the intrusion of a couple of parked commercial...

Hi Guys, Check out this American child portraiture, http://www.kelsphotocreations.com/beforeafter_roll.htm Get a vomit bag ready before opening ;-) Just as well that Singapore doesn't have any oil or the USA might be wanting to come over and share their culture with you ;-) Cheers, Pete

Hi Guys, I was surprised how many people viewed the portraits which I submitted yesterday, "Portrait with a difference", so I thought I'd submit another couple. Once again I am more concerned about portraying the person's personality rather than skin tones and pin-sharp eyelashes or a silly...

Hi Guys, When I think of portraits I do not think of head & shoulders, fine skin tones and sharp eyelashes, I want to produce a picture which brings out the personality of the person. How about this approach. http://www.peteloud.co.uk/photos/Friends/Millie/Millie_pano.html You might disagree...

These night-time panos are tricky. http://www.peteloud.co.uk/photos/SEAsia_07-08/BoatQuay_4.html Cheers, Pete

Hi Guys, This is meant to be an ordinary street scene. There is nothing special or fancy about it. I have been trying to record what Penang is like, shop-house and becak etc. before it is turned into another modern city like Singapore. (Don't think I against Singapore, it's my favourite city...

Hi Guys, After my "Another Boat Quay Panorama" thread was closed without any explanation, and as I've not had a reply to my email I'll give you another Singapore panorama. http://www.peteloud.co.uk/photos/SEAsia_07-08/Cavenagh_Bridge.html This was a test shot with an 8mm lens that I'd...

Hi Guys, Boat Quay panos seem to be topical at the moment. Here is one of mine. http://www.peterloud.co.uk/photos/SEAsia_07-08/BoatQuay_1.html Cheers, Pete Loud

Hi Guys, I am considering buying a Sigma, 8mm, f3.5 lens to use on my 350D for taking panoramas. Has anyone any experience of this set-up/use. Any comments or advice from anyone on the subject will be welcome. Where is the cheapest place to buy a Sigma 8mm f3.5 in Singapore? Any idea of...

http://www.peteloud.co.uk/photos/India/Amritsar_sadhu3_750.jpg This is a shot I took in 1974 on Bronica S2a 6x6 using Agfa transparency film. Most people who go to The Golden Temple in Amritsar take photos of the impressive Golden Temple, I preferred to photograph the people. [when I...

Hi Guys, I am considering buying am EOS 350D and a Sigma 8mm fisheye to use with it early in Nov., can any give me any advice? I am particularly interested in using this lens for 360 degree panoramas. What is the price, and where, of the standard 350D, (+18-55mm), and the Sigma fisheye...
