Gear for my life and photos

1st time created my own blog, this blog just to shared my life and also my photos taken recently, now i realized creating a blog shared to friend is fun. I will keep my blog up to date and will upload all the interesting photos to cheer everybody who read my blog. Let me introduced the Gear i use daily life..




Look Great huh? well here already cost me more than 5k and above, if u really love photography, everything is worth for u. My brand is using Canon, because it is simple and easy to use. Beside that if you interested to owning a SLR camera, I prefer you choose Canon or Nikon. Both of this brands is mainly use by photographer.


The Body of camera i use Canon 450D, it is light and small. It have twelve megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both AF modes (contrast-detect and passive), 14-bit processing and RAW, spot metering, improved AF, 3.5 fps continuous shooting, a larger viewfinder, SD/SDHC storage and a new higher capacity battery. All in all a fairly impressive range of usage oriented improvements and refinements.

The EOS 450D features:
-12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
-Canon’s EOS Integrated Cleaning System
-3.5 frames per second
-3.0” LCD with Live View shooting
-9-point wide-area AF system with f/2.8 cross-type centre point
-Picture Style image processing parameters
-DIGIC III image processor
-Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software1
-Compact and Lightweight body
-Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites


This lens is come with the camera 450D when u purchase it, This lens it just can zoom until 55mm. Normally this lens is common use in every situation. For my review this is good lens, when u travel to anywhere also can be used. If u love to take scenery photos, it have provide the big angle in 18mm. Which can full view all the area. Below photos is the example of 18-55 lens taken

Picture was taken during trip to Hong Kong at September 2010

Picture was taken during SepangGT at June 2010

Above Picture is using 18-55mm lens to archived. This is good lens that can bring to everywhere to use. For beginner should use this lens instead of trying to buying new lens. Practise make perfect for the good picture. Lets go for another Gear.


The 75-300mm is zoom lens, u can zoom until 300mm is quite far, for this lens is bit heavy to shoot. When u zoom until 300mm and u need to have stable hand to hold, if not the picture will get blur by shaking effect. The picture quality of this lens archived is not sharp. U need to edit it yourself using software that can download from any website or purchase it through website. Below is the picture example of 75-300mm lens

Picture was taken at MotoGP held at SIC (sepang international circuit) at september 2010 

Picture was taken at batu cave at July 2010
 So what do u think about this? This lens can captured a far place, but not a moon shot. At least it help u when u need to zoom further.  


This 50mm lens is great! because it have the wider aperture to create sharp picture. This lens it just only 50mm distance and it small and lightest! The Price is very cheap less than RM500.I prefer everybody should have this lens because it really worth! Anyway this lens for me rating is the best for portraits shooting. Below is the example of picture 50mm F1.8

Model shooting Choo Mei Sze at Jalan doraisamy (clubbing street)

Chickens was shooting at temple Buddhist Maha Vihara at brickfields
Great huh!!? as u can see the picture is sharp and faded background. The picture can created feelings and best ever! So to all the people i hope u don't miss this lens, because it is really great as u see the picture above!


After the lens story, is time for introduce the Flash gun! This Gun is needed purchase differently. Actually the cameras has included the automatic pop up flash, but that flash is not really recommended to use because it just only can flash in single way. I have bought this Nissin Flash because it cheaper and also recommended by all photographer. This Flash can shoot longest at 105mm and shortest 28mm. The recycle time was just 0.4sec which is fast and can captured photos in every moments. 

Picture was taken in Pop up flash that built in cameras. Time 3.20pm (daylights)

Picture taken by nissin Di622. Time 3.25pm (daylights)
 Above is simple test of external flash and built in flash. As u can see the first picture was fully flash direct focus on the object and background was dark. The second picture was taken in same object same day and time with Nissin Flash, The picture was look natural with background. Above test hope u all can find the different and help who not understand how the external flash works. For more better understanding about external flash may go to this Link
  

The Battery Grip is a must buy item, it is really useful, This grip u can handle it in different way, beside that u can purchase another piece of battery LP-E5 ( Canon 450D battery) Or 6 pieces of normal AA battery to support your camera out of battery. This grip it provide shutter button and Focus button at the back of Grip for easy to shoot picture in handle portraits way. Below the picture how it looks after attach the Grip to camera

As u can see from above two pictures, the camera was look bigger and fatter. But the handling become more stable and the battery life of camera was extended, No need to worry your camera out of battery when you travel or any activities need to use.
  

This was introduce early with the lens, sorry i have missed out just now. But now introduced also not late,
Filters is very important for pictures, it create a better color and more contrast of the sky color. Filters it just like contact lens of people wearing it. It have UV, Circular Polarising, Linear Polarising and many more features.Filter was not only for color contrast, but it can protect the lens from knocking the wall accidentally.  Below is the sample of picture have using the filter creating good scenery   

Picture was taken at Hong Kong september 2010

Picture was taken at timesquare parking floor level 16th
For the 1st picture u can see the sky in blue color while the whole picture was better contrast.
2nd Picture was taken at evening shot with Filters. For more info about Filter u may click this Hoya Filters 


Well it is finish introduced the gear i use for shooting, Hope the info can help all of u who wanted to own himself or herself SLR camera soon. I am not professional, I create this blog just want to shared out my feelings and my hobby.  I hope to hear some of your comments for better correct myself.
