i did agree, didnt i? i think you misunderstood what i said

i only list a few benefits of having a fullframe, like sharpness, color, and noise, but i didnt say that it makes the picture great as a whole.

nothing wrong if you take time to post process too, i usually take 40mins per pic, if you really want your picture to look good sometimes you really need to spend an effort on PP,
PROs will agree to this especialy the ones in the industry, dont get the wrong idea, theres nothing wrong with perfecting your shot the first time, so you edit less like youre saying,
but sometimes thats not the case especially if your using available light and needs to extract details from the shadows in PP. PP is also very very important especially if your doing portraits or fashion where the use of any blurring tool
is not acceptable.

i get lots CC and i take them all positively, not everyone has the same taste in photography, i also take tips and such but i never let them mold me as a photographer, i know what i want, i have my style and i stick to it. :)

After ng mga years na yun nadiscover ko din about sa mga cameras, different formats for different market . That time i wanted to buy a dslr na rin, i wanted the the NIKON d5100, kasi cheap and i heard maganda review sa kanya, pero nung nagbrowse ako sa flickr ng pics using that camera, di ako masatisfy sa quality nya, i dunno pero may certain native sharpness talaga yung fullframe na wala sa crop sensor, di lang yun when it comes to color mas better yung gradiation nya smooth sya which is a plus for skintones!!, also when you view the actual pixel of a shot using a crop sensor camera, youll see noise even at iso100. siguro masyado lang ako maarte, pero in my mind i know the camera will not be put to waste naman, confident din kasi ko na mauutilize ko yung potential ng fullframe if ever i get one, and so ye i skipped the crop sensor and went straight to fullframe. I think i made the right decision, cause im not like most photographers na nagcocollect ng camera with same sensors size (no offense) . my next camera would be a medium format hopefully haha.!!
Very true, natutuwa din ako sa mga nag uupgrade ng cam pero same sensor size or lenses na nag papatong patong yung focal points with same apertures. sayang sa pera. parang sayang lang yung update nila. :) pwera na lang kung ibang factor lang yung hinahabol nila. I can swap my d5k for d90 for commander mode and for built in motor though. :sweat:

yung avatar mo ba kuha mo yan sir? Lupit :2thumbs: post ka naman ng mga obra mo :)

Trigger gamitn mo kung may Flash stand ka or tripod and if you are in to strobist like mixing ng natural light and flash or one light via flash. but sa trigger ng Yong nuo may mga misfires kang mararanasan, ok na yan for a start para malaman mo kung yan ang gusto mong style sa photography.

^just to add, pwede ka mag DIY na lang imbes na bumili ka pa ng trigger - kung makaka slave naman yung flash mo lagyan mo na lang ng tissue yung pop up flash ng cam mo para hindi masyado harsh ang buga ng slave flash mo. Pero just for the flexibility's sake, mag trigger ka na nga lang....

ang gulo ko ata :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

pareho tayo mahina din ako sa model directing pero swerte na lang din sa mga nakukuha naming model kasi mga pro na at marunong na mag pose, mahirap din kasi mag over direct sabi nung isang organizer na sinalihan ko :sweat:

sa mga photoshoot usually din kasi mga 5 or 7 na tao mga kasama ko at sabay sabay kami so umiikot na lang ako to get a good angle and let others na lang direct the model, at the end of the day habol mo naman is to get good shots :sweat:
