Photography - Close Up Macro Lenses

Image
Close-up filters (also known as macro filters) are a filter that screws onto the end of your cameras lens. The main purpose of the close-up filter is to decrease the minimum distance required for the lens to focus. Take the telephoto lens for example. This lens would normally require you to be at least 1.5m from the subject being photographed before the subject will properly focus, but attaching a close-up filter to the lens will let you stand much closer to the subject. Filters can be used together (stacked) or used separately but always remember that if stacking your filters, that the strongest filter (+10 or the highest number filter) is closest to the lens. Close-up filters are measured i

Canon 50D

Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera (15.1MP, 3" LCD, ISO 12800) (Canon Malaysia) With the same rugged, conservative body as the 40D, the Canon EOS 50D's only distinguishing mark is the silver bezel on its mode dial, and there are a few minor changes to how the buttons and controllers are used, but for the most part the 50D's body is unchanged. The Canon EOS 50D body is a magnesium alloy, with slightly improved seal against dust and water. Canon EOS 50D specifications Sensor • 22.3 x 14.9 mm CMOS sensor • RGB Color Filter Array • Built-in fixed low-pass filter (with self-cleaning unit) • 15.5 million total pixels • 15.1 million effective pixels • 3:2 aspect ratio Image processor DIGIC 4 A/D conversion 14 bit

Nikon D90 (12.3-megapixel)

Image
Nikon D90 SLR Digital Camera (12.3MP, DX Format, 3" LCD, Live View, Video, 4.5fps) (Body Only) Nikon D90 comes with 12.3-megapixel image quality, broad control and the world’s first digital SLR movie function combine to deliver unsurpassed creative freedom in a D-SLR. The new D90 incorporates an optional feature called Universal Vibration Reduction (uVR). This turns all lenses into uVR lenses, and offers a 10-stop advantage. This means a person using a 500mm lens, who would normally have to shoot at 1/500th of a second, can shoot at 2 seconds when uVR is enabled. The new uVR system isn't sensor based, and instead requires one of the three optional vertical battery grips (see below). In this case, the MB-D90a is required. This grip provides all the normal controls and extended battery life of a regular grip. It also holds 8 EN-EL4a batteries, along with a step-up transformer. With uVR enabled, the combined power of the batteries sends a

Photography - Creating HDR Image

Image
I use Nikon D40 to take this shot. I've been seeing a lot of HDR image in the net and found it interesting. So i decided to try it on my own by using Photomatix Pro to create HDR image. See below: Wonder how i did it using D40. I combine 3 pictures to get this HDR image. To do HDR image, save the shot in RAW format. I only take 1 shot which is using 0 EV for normal shot. Then, i use capture NX2 or photoshop CS3 to adjust the EV setting for overexpose and underexpose which is +2 EV and -2 EV respectively. Then, i combine it using Photomatix pro to create HDR image. See below. Try it and you'll like it.

Canon 40D Review

Image
Canon’s EOS 40D is the latest DSLR designed for beginners and semi-pros. Announced in August 2007, it’s the successor to the EOS 30D, and continues Canon’s 18 month cycle for this product line. While the EOS 30D represented a minor upgrade over its predecessor though, the new 40D features significant improvements – and not a moment too soon considering arch rival Nikon’s leadership in mid-range DSLRs over the past two years. The new 3-inch LCD is a 230k-pixel device that is extremely nice to use and provides both live view for composing and shooting without using the optical viewfinder, with manual focus assessment. The new LCD also doubles up as display device allowing shooting information and the like to be repeated from the top LCD for example. Both these systems are ideal for tripod use where you cannot always easily assess the scene and shooting information. The camera’s new CMOS sensor has on-board processing for each pixel and that combined with the DIGIC III processor and 14-bi

Fujifilm S5 Pro

Image
The FinePix S5 Pro is the first Fujifilm DSLR to use a development of the Real Photo Technology which has been universally lauded in the company's consumer cameras. Dubbed "Real Photo Processor Pro", it should yield improved saturation and tonality, and courtesy of two cycles of noise reduction the S5 Pro now offers ISO sensitivity to 3200 (with noise levels reduced across the board at all sensitivities). The S5 Pro also offers three new variations of the original film simulation mode (now five total) tailored to regional preferences for tonality in different markets. Unusually, the S5 Pro has the ability to password lock (in three levels) custom settings to prevent a photographer changing certain settings accidentally, or for pool cameras which are requeired to have certain settings identical across all camera bodies in the pool. Image Processing and Quality * Real Photo Technology Pro, which combines the Super CCD SR Pro sensor and the RP Processor Pro, allows for the
