thanks po. kaya no reason na mainsecure sa mga magaganda ang gamit, basic set lang kayang kaya na

Btw are you using nikon or canon?

everytime na may shoot akong pupuntahan, lagi ko na lang iniisip kung paano ko ieexecute yung shots ko yun lang. wala na ko paki sa setup o gamit ng iba. enjoyin mo na lang talaga ser tapos magpaka humble ka na lang at respeto sa style ng iba.

magugulat ka nga na minsan kung sino pa magaganda gamit sila pa yung mga hindi masyado maganda tumira - ive personally seen this myself dun sa mga nakasabay ko sa mga shoots dati tapos makikita mo mga pinopost nilang tira, pag sinilip mo exif data nila makikita mo ang ganda ng lente at body nila pero sablay naman mag framing- matatawa ka na lang din.

True, kahit point and shoot lang ako nuon people praised my photos more than my friends who uses a dslr, thanks to photoshop!, para sakin ang camera is tool lang naman talaga, nasa tao pa rin yan kung pano ka kumuha at magprocess ng pic sa photoshop. 2 years ago i was only using point and shoot ng nikon na bigay lang sakin, nagkataon lang siguro na sobra ko naobsses sa isang foreign model to the point na lahat ng pics nya tinitignan ko sa net, dun nagstart yung pagkacurious ko sa pictures, pano nila nakuha un?? even more pano nya naedit ng ganun kaganda yun?! kaya nagself study ako ng editing. focus ko is portrait talaga, di ako maxado nagaral about photography like settings ng camera like aperture, shutterspeed, etc etc. sa isip ko lang nun kelangan malaman ko style at techniques nila. 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.!!

trust me when i say minsan wala din sa system yan, even pro's would tell you the exact same thing. You just gotta know what you're after (intended outputs) and carry on from that.

Isa sa mga common misconception kasi na the better the cam is, the better the quality of your picture will become - WRONG! its how you shoot lang po yan. Kung naka dslr ka na, mag invest ka sa lente, a full frame cam can only do so much depende sa humahawak; ang photography formula nga daw is 10% gear, 40% light and 50% photographer and that holds true to this day. A kit lens and entry level body can do you wonders kung marunong ka tumimpla AT marunong ka umilaw ng subject. I personally cannot afford a full frame camera (dito sa sg ang full frame na BODY lang sa second hand market will price to about 6k - 8k SGD and take note, body pa lang yun, pinaka mura yata canon 5d mkii na nasa 2000+ body lang) so i since trip ko talaga mag switch ng hobby i bought an entry level cam tapos praktis praktis na lang hanggang sa nagamay ko na.

As for post processing din, wala namang masama just dont try to overdo it - mahirap mag rely sa photoshop parati to make your photos look good. Ako nga i dont pp much anymore, ilang steps lang sa PS ayos na, no need artehan. All you need is to get your shots right the first time, dyan na ngayon papasok ang timpla sa camera during shoot. It takes time to nail a good shot pero do what I do, mag develop ka ng sarili mong style. At kung gusto mo mag improve ang mga tira mo, sali ka sa photography groups sa fb tapos magpa c&c ka, magugulat ka na sa mata ng iba maganda man mga shots mo pero sa mga hasa na sa photography biglang kakatayin lahat ng sa tingin mong ok.

One more thing, ang pagkakaalam ko lahat ng images may noise kahit ano pa ISO nyan lalo na pag RAW ka tumira - kaya nga importante ang tamang exposure, lighting at composition kasi para mabawasan yun. Wag ka masyado mabahala sa noise, photography is all about the picture and NOT the pixels ika nga. Think about street photography, im sure madami ka na nakitang "noisy" na image pero kung titingnan mo as a whole may sense at dating di ba? Tip lang, get back to basics, dun lang ang paraan para maintindihan mo ang tamang pag shoot, eventually magagamay mo din; para sakin you'll never get better until you truly understand ng basic principles of photography - research mo na lang online.

i gave up my ps3 for photography and i never looked back since then...pero nasa ilalim pa rin ng unan ko yung vita

[celsius]

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.

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.

yung avatar mo ba kuha mo yan sir? Lupit post ka naman ng mga obra mo

Thanks!

eto ser naresearch ko about sa flash mo >> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 505AAqV8zK

anong klaseng shoot yan ser?

[Nayr]

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.

[grayfox17]

^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
