Norman 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Azahan, Thanks for the comments... I'm still learning with this new hobby as well as trying to understand the digicam... The Xiamen was beginner's luck, I think Didn't expect it appear in one of the shots... Most other shots are worst than the CX... The FZ5 burst mode suppose to be 3-4 shots/sec, but it didn't work that day... more like 1/sec plus the delay of writing to the SD card (got highspeed Panasonic one) Maybe some other settings affecting it... BTW I still like the cam's zoom power and Mega image stabiliser These are great for RM1550 digicam... As for A.net.... will check it out... -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fitri Shukri 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Hi there everyone. This is my first post here on MalaysianWings Forum. These are my photos on my solo spotting at 14L and soon photos during spotting with Azahan, Imran, Norman (with family) and Nizam on the 3rd of July 2005. 9M-MKU I'll post more info and photos later. Haven't edited them all yet, just arrived from KL last night. Norman, Love your shot of the Xiamen and AK with the 3 girls. It really demonstrate the FZ5 Lieca sharpness and very, very effective OIS with panning mode. Of course, the photographer is important also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitri Shukri 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Gavin, Fujifilm Finepix S7000. Our camera are siblings. Yours are the 'abang', mine the 'adik'. Still saving $$$ for a DSLR. These photos were taken at 210mm (35mm equivalent) settings. They are all cropped then resized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 there must be something wrong with your camera settings or you're editing the images wrongly because it looks ... strange ? i dont know la ... hmmm .. there's just something about it .. its so greeeeeeen ... and so jaggy ... u sharpened it too much i think .. and then i think you can also try using Paint shop pro and change the colour temperature .. I also noticed that u were using ISO 200 . is there a lower setting for it ? maybe if u use a lower ISO it will be less grainy .. and perhaps using AUTO or Personal AE would be a better choice compared to aperture priority . Just try to experiment around a little bit . i'm sure you can produce much much nicer shots than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe. I'm not good at this editing thing. Wish someone else do the editing. I just love to photograph in the field, not editing in the room. And I don't like the noise level of this camera, too much. But I love its colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to Aperture Priority, I love it. No way I'm gonna use 'Full Auto'. I also avoid Program AE. But then again, my Finepix is just a point and shoot. Aperture limited from F2.8 to F8.0 only. I'll email the SQ photo when i got the time for it. Thanks Gavin, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, my Finepix is just a point and shoot. Aperture limited from F2.8 to F8.0 only. Sure your minimum is ISO 200? That is pretty strange for a PS camera actually, considering most will have ISO 50 to 400 only. So what is your max? BTW, "No way I'm gonna use 'Full Auto'." Wah, I respect you lah brother.

Prices start from as low as MYR 140 for a simple..very very basic scanner with a very limited range of reception.....and can go up to MYR 2130 for the best of the best! Transportation is a major problem as most countries forbid or severely srestrict the use of ATC SCANNERS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you live in Kota Warisan...or plan to listen only whilst spotting...then its not worth buying one like that. It's worth investing in something with a bit more range.

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 customs dont look into every parcel 1620[/snapback] Trust me on this bro...they wont necessarily look INTO each parcel..but they will SCAN every parcel. I think the best way to get it into the country is by asking a friend or a relative to bring it in. There's a special way to avoid the scanners laaa...but that wan u better ask TK....he told me about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
