For some reason my photos have the wide angle lens effect when i switch the backgroud colour to white.



so, "let the darkroom be lighten!"



It is kind of interesting when i seat back & think back of what makes me plunges into photography. When i was preparing for my own wedding back in Dec, i always surf though the weddding photographer's website. Especially the Singapore bound photographers-here.Day by day i got hook by looking at the images their produced. I started to angan angan & saying to myself i can do this leh.. So after doing some research for the right dslr that tailored for me (in term of budget that is as i just got my bonus at that time)In February 2008 i decided to go for nikon d40x with a standard lens 18-55mm f.3.5-5.6 AFS. Back then i was strugling to get the right exposure. at that time most of the time my photos was either blur, shaking or full of noise effect. nothing like what was in the website that i always visit. Not even close.. then, being cute i bought a SB400 speed light and stick using Auto Mode all the way and thought as long as i have enough light, the camera know what composition to use. DSLR being cost a few thousands of ringgit it is smart enough to dail the right exposure for you. hahaha.. well that what i thought so.. so now after a few stint of event i started to get the right exposure composition and even bring my little blue note book to read my notes. hehe..

I just got an all in one (standard & telephoto) lens an 18mm-200mm f-3.5-5.6 AFS lens. and i enjoy taking candid photos during wedding or other function by using the zoom. It does help to be more versatile during photoshoot.

but then again, i can't get the crisp sharp that i was looking for until recently i came across a few article about the sharp lens. for entry level dlsr owner, instead of pursuing for a telephoto lens like my 18mm-200mm lens with slow f stop, i suggest go for a faster lens. faster lens meaning you can tweak the aperture to the widest(lower f stops). you don't really need telephoto lens because if you are the official photographer for that day, you should the authority to roam about the hall.. but then again, different people have their different opinion on this. but if only i have known earlier, i'll go for a 17mm-55mm f-2.8. to fits my DX camera. Full frame FX maybe not yet lah.. =)
