The usual accident photos ........

[Shull]

hahaha...1D mkII..body itself cost close to 10k brand new..as for the lens, i am guessing 300mm or 400mm L..that's another few k...

 

basically, the camera body+lens can downpay a new car liao..

[Nhrisuzu]

the camera make all the cars look like they got HID..

 

does all the camera do this?? my 5MP canon cannot..

[Shull]

i think it's the white balance setting..

[Scion]

yep... the road markings are very white too

[Tkseah]

Maybe the drivers got distracted by some guy waving huge camera lenses outside their window..

[Evoluzio]

More specifically, were you using a stand?

[Speedblade]

no my friend.

 

have not invested in a good tripod yet.

 

the shots were done @ iso1600, handheld, and the stabilizer made it possible to shoot at the slow speed without a tripod.

iso1600 and yet can't see noise!.. Lost of camera already cmi at >iso400

[Achtung]

The pic is superb. I was half tempted to ask u to zoom in on the parking coupon on the dash of the car! Juz kidding.

[Fabulous]

u mean compacts. my low-end nikon DSLR gives good results for normal printing size at ISO 800. 1600 for viewing on computer screen no sweat.

 

but i must say the TS has a real steady hand

[Kwchan]

but nikon still sucks at white balance. Try shoot a similar scene with your nikon and compare with Canon

 

You will then understand why Nikon logo is yellow

[Boyboy]

nothing a lil tweaking can't fix . the newer low-end nikons are pretty ok in their wb. but if one has any issues, just whip out white card and AWB, or shoot raw

 

sometimes, i feel like i want the best of both worlds, canon sensor/processor in a nikon shell/interface.

 

canon bodies simply CMI imho . picture quality, everyone says canon is better, so maybe they are right

 

i learnt on nikon, so i am familiar with it, so i shoot nikon. maybe if my school provided canon instead, i'd be a canon user now

 

edit:

 

i shd add that i used to shoot a d40x, now d300. the D300 takes some time to setup and get used to, and took a firmware update to get the colours a bit less... YELLOW

 

i was pretty much at home with the 40x right out of the box. but i wanted the upgrade cos there were stuff that i wanted to do that required more features.. oh well

Time is a luxury and time is $$ when commercial photographer have so much photos to process and deadline to meet.

[Boyboy]

i mean in-camera tweaking leh. even for canon, i don't think you just set it to AWB and program mode, auto ISO and go into a commercial shoot all guns blazing right?
