iwan 3 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Sharing my shots form todays event. Was really touched by the emotions and spirits at the venue. Place was packed as early as 7.00am Arrived at 6.30AM hoping to be the first guy there, but was met by hundreds of people who apparently were more 'semangat' than me. Couldnt secure a good vantage point which was quite a bummer. Anyway,today was my first attempt at shooting RAW, the burst speed was not up to my expectation maybe because of my vintage D90 kit.Unsure if ishould continue using RAW in the future. So far seeing more disadvantages than advantages. Editing wise im still picking up on the amazing options now available to me, would really welcome advice and tips from the taikos here. Anyway here are some of the aerial shots i got today A link to my fb album. Not sure if it will work https://www.facebook.com/iwan.shafiee/media_set?set=a.10152239635366712.1073741838.631291711&type=1 Thanks for viewing!

iwan 3 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 haha i would consider that for future shows. At a crowded event like that im not sure whats the best way to secure a good space. I intended to be on the top terrace beside the stage to get good pics but like i said, was fully occupied from the time i arrived. standing there would give me a full view of the event without being blocked by a head, a police officer, a wrongly time nudge or a random object. AND i can stand whenever i like being on the top most terrace. The palm trees along Dataran also made it challenging to focus on the planes from my desired angle. considered bringing a stool or ladder and standing at the back of the line next time since i have a long zoom. However, im glad Malaysians from all walks of life thronged the venue. Even some warga emas who had to sit after awhile made their way there. Felt sorry for them as the young ones who got seats didnt even offer a space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hon Kit 3 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Great shot iwan. Regarding raw, get faster memory card. Shooting raw only give u added advantage in editing. Thats why file size is huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwan 3 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Great shot iwan. Regarding raw, get faster memory card. Shooting raw only give u added advantage in editing. Thats why file size is huge. Thanks Hon Kit! I actually 'invested' in a class 10, 80mbps card just for the event to try out the RAW capabilities. But read somewhere that it might have been an overkill since the D90 itself is incapable of writing at that speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Iwan, thanks for sharing the Merdeka shots. I think the D90's buffer is very small - so you have to wait till the buffer is cleared before you can resume shooting! A faster card does help a little, not much... WOW.. MIG jets No MiGs - they are Sukhois and Hawks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
