see you guys outside at ten. that will make me really popular with the neighbours, haha! tripod ok, you want to borrow the new 17-55 f2.8 lens? (dont know what that means, wife just offered, good mood).
OK, sounds good. That's a wide angle lens & pretty "fast" @ 2.8, good for night shoots. If we open it up max, we can use slower shutter speed (less grainy (noise) when you blow up pic) but background gets a little blurred, sometimes deliberately so we can have sharper & more focused subjects. In the past with film cameras, we need to change films to match subjects & lighting condition & anything above ISO400 speed can only be purchased @ specialist stores. Now Digital cameras can go past 1600 anytime with a push of buttons. See you guys, I'll be @ the carpark. Leaving now for Kambing soup
Lung, u should have censored my car too, makes me feel like the nurse in the shower filmed by the convicted doctor!
Rara still having fun out there! Think he wants to finish his full tank before going home Wah I like your Larini when u pulled away hard. Bugger Taxi drove faster than us & ganna flashed.....
Congrats Rara, Enjoy her in good health.... (At the rate you guys are going preaching and 'converting' Fcar souls to the dark side, methinks Lambo Spa should either give y'all free annual free servicing and sends Lung and Jon as 'Ambassadors' for the brand...)
under control, thanks. sorry to bail out, will try and set up again. maybe we can do coffee later. still owe you a brekkie. jon, didn't see your message before i set out last night. offer of the lens still open. let me know when. maybe we can go somewhere this weekend to take some shots.
tks to all for well wishes... pls continue wishing that i dun lose my licence. its really hard not to floor the pedal to the metal on a wide open empty road with this car. NS when when when? at least there can chum siong chum siong.
multi-talented. don't get me started, i can bore you till tears. have you and mike gotten together yet to sort out CNY? i am willing to be the default option if necessary. let me know.
time to change your nick to "bobo" from "rara", don't you think? btw, you guys see the picture of the Hong Kong leg of the Ferrari relay on p 17 of the Biz Times today? Jon takes better pictures than that. Shame they didn't ask you bro!
Congrats to yet another dream being fulfilled.Hope that mine will be fulfilled soon too.....have fun but safety comes first.cheers for u.
Ur....I know someone that cheats with F4 lens using ISO 800 and above for night shooting Yes f2.8 will focus faster.. being wider.. Yes f2.8 has a 1 stop advantage.. allowing for faster shutter speed if needed provided you are able to use it at it's widest. Many people always debate the merits of using a more expensive lens (2x in this instance) so what is the difference between f4 and 2.8, If you think a bit deeper.. if both lens are set at f/8 and ask I stated the shutter is constrain at 1/60.. would this make the 2 almost the same.. of course the f/2.8 focus faster .. but is it really that much faster.. those of us who have both lenses of this f-stop would know.. we are talking about 1/XXX of a sec.. need one be so picky.. Pro, Semi-Pro might beg to differ.. but to the rest of us, I do not think it will make or break a photo.. unless you are telling me that without a f2.8 lens you do not know how to help the lens focus faster.. No self-respecting photographer would bring a lens that is smaller that f4 for low light shooting.. that why I did compare f-stop from F5.6 and smaller. As a F5.6 lens would not be able to provide sufficent lights to achieve a shutter of 1/60. But if one was to compare it at this level.. then introducing a tripod to this senario but change the shutter speed to say 2", keeping at F8... both the F5.6 and F2.8 will be NEAR equal again .. given that F2.8 will focus faster.. oops more later, my VP(idiot) just walked in
Managed to catch a glimpse of your bond car at Bayshore exit last nite while heading to meet Jon and rara.
rara, you really no need to sleep huh! Did you drive thru the nite? Your post is like 6am in the morning!!!
