Soalan Epik : DSLR mana aku nak beli?

 

Salah satu persoalan yang menggangu gugat seorang bakal pemilik DSLR baharu. Meh sini aku terangkan.

1- Kenali bajet anda.

Kalau bajet anda tiada limit, aku rekemen ko ambik Hassleblad ke, Leica ke. tapi kalau bajet ciput nak kamera grand, tak boleh jugak sebab bajet.kamera low entry pun boleh beb, ambek gambar power.

2-Nikon? Sony?, Canon? ????

Semua DSLR sama fungsinya, kenali asas fotografi digital dan kuasai kamera bukannya brand !

aik, dua jer? (sukati aku lah nak letak 2 ke 3 ke.sebab blog aku..hahahaha)

secara amnya korang kena tahu berapa bajet nak beli, sebab tanpa bajet anda tak boleh beli kamera. fungsi DSLR sekarang makin canggih dan makin maju, cuma ada perbezaan antara entry level dan professional level. Yang penting, kuasai asas fotografi barulah boleh ambik gambar yang cantik molek

renung-renung selamat membeli.

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.

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.
