Buying your first DSLR (Digital Single Lense Reflex Camera)

A lot of people asking me, what is the criteria when buying first DSLR. In common, people always saying that "eh, I heard brand C is quite good go get one" "brand N is hot, buy lah" That kind of statement is more like fanboyism kinda of thing.

Ok, back to basic, I surely ask, why do you want to buy DSLR?. common answer is, "my friend got one lah" or " its a trend nowadays lah" etc etc. Come on People, High end Point and Shoot nowadays can match DSLR also lah, for example CANON S5 IS, Nikon CoolPix, Panasonic LUMIX and the list go on.

If you really wanted or seriously fall in love with photography for a long-long time not just for limited time only, you should consider a DSLR.

Here is is some tips that I can squeeze out from my brain for the time being. Just a thought to share aight!

1- Know your budget
How much you willingly to spend on DSLR?. if you have budget below 1K, got get yourself Point and shoot camera. Also dont forget the lenses. DSLR is useless without lense!. Roughly, if you're willingly to spend 4k and above, you will get decent DSLR that you can use for a long-long time.

2-Always read review
Nowadays, lots of resources you can find on the net about DSLR. I suggest to you, read and understand. make comparison after you read it.

3-Entry Level DSLR seem a good choice?
Previous entry model DSLR seem a good choice to start, but after a few month, years you becoming more and more advance and needed more greater DSLR to used. I suggest to you if you want to buy entry level DSLR, make sure it has,
a)Live View - essential to capture that lower angle. (Lots of new entry DSLR nowadays has liveview)
b) Spot Metering - most accurate metering to use in low light, indoor and etc. its worth it for entry level DSLR have this option.

4-Expansion and accessories
Check out whether the DSLR you wanted to buy has lot of range of accessories. for example battery grip, filter, third party lenses etc etc. Buying those accessories can add sales value to your DSLR (if you want to sale it later on lah)

Ok, after you've done now is the time to make those choices. Choices is yours and remember, have fun with your new DSLR. if you have any enquiries, just shout at the Shoutbox or leave your comment.

Photography story

I still remember last year when first I bought my DSLR, one of the most admired work or should i say photographer that I often seen his work on the world wide web is Dave Hill. (http://www.davehillphoto.com/)

Dave Hill editing style is unique because, when you're looking at his picture, it look like some sort of drawing.In fact, a few forum that I read saying that Dave Hill using HDR when editing his image. hmm, that editing only Dave Hill knows it all, as it becoming his trademark.

Anyway, above is Dianty where we shoot her last year at Damai .2 lighting aka 2 speedlite left and right triggered via STE-2.

just wish had one more speedlite that day!.

p/s to get that Dave Hill look, you'll need 3 lighting setup or more. The Dave Hill technique relying a lot on good lighting setup and some blending editing technique to get those look.

How to Shoot : concert/stageshow/artist on stage

(Noh Lead singer Hujan band Performing Live @ Kuching 1st Mac 2008)

Everyone asking how on earth to shoot your favourite artist on stage while their performing.

All I can say is this.

- Come early
Get a good spot. {hint : if you're in the middle your picture look kinda bland}

-Check the White Balance
Adjusting the white balance so your picture will look good!

-Shutter speed/Aperture
Depands on the lighting and movement. I prefer use "TV" (time value) which only I adjusted Shutter speed.

-Tele lense?
Might come handy to shot closeup

-Spare battery and memory card
bring some spare. If not you will regret it later.

the rest of the thing, press the shutter and wait for the right moment.! always in standby mode.

Miss you mum.

Assalamualaikum wbh..

Baru tadi, terbaca salah satu entry dekat blog Saiful Nang
(http://blog.saifulnang.net/?p=263)

Tersentuh perasanku, dan tanpa ku sedari air mataku mengalir kerana teringatkan arwah ibu yang telah pergi 9 tahun lalu.

Bak kata saiful Nang dalam blognya, "Tidak ada harta yang ditinggalkan kecuali pelajaran yang sangat berguna dan carik-carik kenangan serta rindu yang sangat menyakitkan"

memang benar, hanya kenangan dan rindu yang sangat menyakitkan bila terkenangkan arwah ibu.

semenjak 9 tahun lalu Ramadhan dan Syawal tidak sama lagi. I really missed her a lot since then.

Tapi hidup mesti diteruskan. life goes on!

Al-Fatihah buat Allayarhamah Seniah binti Abang.
