tealeaves... Who are you? Sorry can't put your nick to your face I think with a tripod you can let the tripod do the work at ISO100 or whatever is lowest for your cam.

And ya, thanks YSLEE!

The lower the ISO, the less noise there will be. That's why whenever possible, we are always trying for the lowest ISO possible thru the use of tripods. However for Nikon which uses the Sony sensor, the lowest best base ISO is 200 (or as some say, 160); at ISO 100, you lose some dynamic range. At very high ISO, you get a lot more noise and YS mentioned "Noise Ninja" (I myself used to use a paid version of Imagenomic's software but noise reduction softwares makes you lose details. Personal preferences but I prefer not to use too much NR, but have a little noise instead. It's just like my Nikon settings, I actually push up my saturation and contrasts quite high (now I don't do any more Lightroom.. haha).

I think the longer I shoot, the lazier I get. And I've only had the Nikon for 4 weeks :embrass: gimme another month and I'll be getting an assistant to press my shutter button for me :bsmilie:

if anyone cannot remember me, I helped myself to the prime seat and stuck my ass there for an hour half. Sorry .. hehe.
I am also the one sitting next to the one with the loudest voice, and am now deaf in my left ear. Keke.. kidding!!

and i am thinking you are the canon "competitor". haha...


night86mare: good idea of using vertical shots and stich them up. shall try it.
as for the blub timing, thanks for the guide. i get the idea now... maybe i should get myself a shutter release first.;p

Yep.. but cannot get used to the long zoom (or rather, the need for very fast shutter speeds esp @ 200mm, or simply getting old and I lost my ability to stalk sweet young mei mei).

I remember you also.. you are the duck with global warming issues, right? I remember you coz you just got your tripod and the first one to register for the event. If you change your t-shirt, I may forget you though.

Ding here! Hi to the Gang who shoot on 9 Jan at Esplanade before the sun came up (and even those after the sun came up!)

Was a pleasure to shoot and shoot the breeze with you guys! Thanks to YSLee for the LLLLLOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG mountain trek up Mount Marina Square. Sorry I couldn't join the rest of you. Hope you all had a good time during the shoot, just as I did.

I'm only gonna download my pics now(yes, after all the shopping yesterday with the wife, finally got time to myself), and hope to put up one or two here

Cheers all, and have a good week ahead!

A photo shot with a lousy tripod, is better than one shot without a tripod.
A photo shot without a tripod, is better than a photo that was never shot.
Thanks for sharing your photos I enjoy viewing them and learning stuffs.
