    Would you bring a DSLR or Point and Shoot to travel to Europe?

    My advise is to take the middle path and prioritize what you need to bring. Look at your holiday from a holistic point of view. Does your wife enjoy the holiday if she needs to keep waiting for you to take photos? If she does you can spend more time taking photos and bringing more gears...

    Car

    Hi Car and Photo Enthusiast, With the sharing of so many modern and sports car I thought it would be good for us to remember the birth of motorcar. The inventor Carl Benz had the vision of building a horse-wagon without the horse. It was then called the motor-wagon and unveiled in 1885...

    Nursing fallen Olive-backed Sunbird

    Yup I am also a bit doubtful if the Birdpark would do anything much unless it is a rare bird. The bird is making progress and is able to fly for about 5 to 6 feet but it is unable to stand with one leg on its own after it landed. I am doubtful if it is able to hunt on its own. Yesterday...

    Nursing fallen Olive-backed Sunbird

    Hi fellow Cser, Thanks for your response especially to Sharkspin for correcting the bird-id. I checked up the web and I think Sharkspin is right about it being a Common Iora. The web mentioned that it has two white stripe across its body. No wonder its beak is not that thin and curvy like...

    Nursing fallen Olive-backed Sunbird

    Hi, My wife found a fallen baby sun bird on the road on 28th May (last Thu) and decided to put it in a small box and leave it near a tree for the parent to feed it. The next day we found someone left some bread for it and it is not only not eating but ants will gathering round the bread. So...

    Out of Border Post Processing Revealed

    Hi All, There is actually a much easier way to create shadow. Pls refer to the "Sticky" Photoshop @ WWW thread. Under Fun with Photoshop - Borders and Signatures there is a clear instruction on how to create shadow. You can actually control how far away the shadow should be cast and the...

    Out of Border Post Processing Revealed

    Hi Rwcheng, I do not know how others do it. This is how I did mine. I saved the distorted border selection as part of my workflow. Then I copy and paste to another page. Fill it up with almost black colour then use Gaussian blur to diffuse it. After that paste the diffuse black image...

    Out of Border Post Processing Revealed

    Hi James, Thanks for your interesting tutorial. I am using CS2 and unable to follow the instruction step by step. But manage to use your idea and slightly different steps to get to the final result. I have one question. When you distort or warp the border, do you only warp the border or...

    Empty Insect Shell

    Hi, I found the answer I was looking for. Why is the shell of the first picture does not have the long wing I was looking for in a Cicada. Cicada goes thru metamorphosis just like a mosquito or a butterfly. The insect case that we saw is like the pupae case left behind by the adult...

    Empty Insect Shell

    Hi, I saw many Cicadas when I was at Maxwell hill in Taiping, Perak. From my understanding one of the feature of Cicada is that the wing is much longer than the body. See pict: How is that the wing (in the first shell pict if I am not wrong) is quite small? Is this really a cicada...

    Does it make sense to add teleconverter on 60mm Macro lens?

    Hi Hi, I am inspired by all the great macro shots that I see among the CSers. I bought a 60mm f2.8 Nikon macro lens to venture into this new world. I realized that I do not have sufficient working distance to take the insect world as I will be chasing them away with my close working...

    Which is your first Nikon DSLR?

    D70 and still using. Probably will wait until the video function + 24Megapixel functionality is available on DX format before making a switch.
