thanks ifte! the lens gives the shallow dof. the key is to get close to the subject. even with a long lens you still need to get close since cropping too much will cause a loss in sharpness...

hey larry, sama mo naman ako sa shoot mo kapag naka uwi ako. gusto ko sana makatry ng portrait photography. if i may make some comment, i think kailangan taasan mo yung resolution ng kuha mo, medyo nag-pixelate na.
ok pa naman dito, di ko lang alam kung hanggang kailang ok.
ikaw kamusta?

hi atish,
thanks for your comment. for one, i have to say it's one of the best compact cameras i have ever come across. the handling is great - control placement, ergonomics, start-up, shutter lag are all very quick - not something that you would expect from a point and shoot.the image quality directly out of the camera is very good imo. if i were a PS shark, maybe you won't be able to tell images from this compared to a larger sensor camera or even film! noise is very good at 80iso. although it's still there if you look closely.
great thing is that you can take it almost anywhere with you and have wide angle with a fast f2 aperture + hd video :-)
best review i found on the web is from lawrence ripsher's photo journal. just do a search for it. i gave it a try since i've heard so much about it, this one is a keeper.

Thanks Robbie. Marcus is right. This is more of a personal choice and as you may know switching is an expensive thing to do - so it takes a lot of thought. It depends on your style of photography. Since I like taking my camera with me on bike rides, I appreciate the portability of the Canon lens. I use the 400mm L 5.6 which is 1/4 the cost of Marcus' and Yamil's lens - but except for absence of IS and being 1 stop slower, it can produce equally sharp images. On top of that, you can shoot it wide open. I think I've tried all of Nikon's long lenses (except for the 600mm) and they're all heavy. I'm really enjoying this new combo. It just hangs from my neck on a bike ride. Couldn't do that with the Nikon 500mm or 200-400mm.
The only thing I'm going through now is a learning curve with the canon camera menus....

Love this image- simple - but works very well. The yellow pail and the man adds a nice contrast to the red wall. I would probably just adjust the alignment a bit to make the windows completely straight.

Wow! What a powerful image! I like how you turned the background completely white to focus on the bikers, the bike and the two people sitting. Good framing with the two trees!

Very nice photo of this castle - although leaving out the right portion where the bright light appears to shine would focus the eye on the boats and the castle.

Nice tones and colors. I think for this one, centering the horizon would work fine since the lake would be a perfect mirror of the sky.

Very good composition. The negative space on the right just balances all the activity on the left - the wires, the 2 men painting and their shadows.
Man, I miss home!!!

Definitely not an easy bird to capture in flight due to it's size and speed! Considering the low lights, well done! If you have an external flash you may want to use it.

Nice portrait! I think he'll definitely fit in well with the family seeing that he stayed still for this portrait - and not just a regular snapshot - but using natural lighting! Either you trained him well or he knows his master is a photographer :-)

There's no perfect time to contemplate on what/how the world would be like if there was no "war" - in these trying times seeing the words of John Lennon just makes me Imagine and dream of a better world.

there's certainly a lot of possibilities for this scene you chose - the gazebo, the boat, even the clouds. hope you don't mind a tip, try not to put the horizon right in the middle of the image. rule of thirds can help improve the impact of the image (of course, it's not always the case) but try to experiment by changing the placement of your subject as well as horizon. try shooting portrait or landscape (orientation) and change your position to see results.

Good timing mike - if i may add, one of the techniques to keep in mind is to always try to shoot with the sun behind your back - this gives you natural lighting and brightens up the subject. especially for birds since there's a lot of detail that can be lost....
