I’ve decided to switch over to Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7 compact camera instead of getting a brand new Canon compact camera. Panasonic Lumix range has some very good features lately and I noticed…

At first it happened to my brother-in-law’s Canon EOS 40D DSLR camera, and then now it was my Canon EOS 30D DSLR shutter button that was not working. The Canon shutter button problem is…

A small one. Ten tables. A simple wedding reception photos event for a couple. It's a long day. Another few more hours and its done.
Its done for the day. A bit tired hvg to wake up early. Vic is not feeling well so he'll not go for tonite wedding reception photos. So looks like i'll be covering it alone. Its quite a tiring job but when the photos comes up well its satisfaction. So now its time to rest while vic rush for wedding photos slideshow for tonite wedding dinner. After that he'll just knock off for the day.
Getting there was quite tough too having to clamber about the fence because none of want to get our shoes wet!

Getting there was tough. First the traffic jam, then a little commando walking in something that looked like a DMZ before reaching open ground.
Everybody waiting in anticipation. Slight drizzle here. Would they give the green light for go?
Whoa! DSLR enthusiast coming out in full force with telephoto lens!

Next up, the USAF F-16 Thunderbirds roaring by!
After a roaring ride up, the contrast is very apparent. Peace and traquility.
All six of them! USAF Thunderbirds in formation.

Too bad I couldn’t get any clearer pictures of USAF -F16 Thunderbirds or the RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM. Should have figured out the settings much earlier on taking clearer pictures of fast moving object from a distance.
In addition, the light drizzle caused a lot of speck on my lens. The commando like climbing plus taking pictures through the fence also scratched my Polarising Filter. I also shouldn’t be too ambitious trying to capture still photos and videos at the same time. In the end, both also not very satisfying.
A basic photography lesson learned from the air show outing. Hopefully can get better pictures next time though I won’t know when any other air force would drop by for an aerial display. Anyway, live and learn.

Using a Digital SLR is very different from using a compact camera. It is far more complicated to use with its myriad settings and accessories. And it is definitely not cheap! Getting the body was the first step to building a suitable camera system. Since it is costly to equip yourself with sufficient system to take good photography picture, you need to know your budget, plus building and using a DSLR camera is a very personal thing. (more…)
Here’s a basic digital photography tip trick that every photographer should know – the one third rule to compose the picture. When I mentioned it to a friend, he was surprised that there was such a rule. It was such a basic rule that a photographer should at least learn about this before embarking on his digital photographic adventure. (more…)
So finally, I got myself a DSLR – Canon EOS 30D. Victor has been pestering me for some time to get one because we are planning to embark on shooting wedding reception photos. You may call it a part time home based business; after all you don’t really need an office to shoot wedding reception events.
I have been mulling around trying to consider which brand of DSLR to go for; should it be Nikon or Canon? (more…)
