p/s : Ma, if possible, get me a wife more prettier than her :P

Selingan , not related to camera, lens and etc :D

Hello all,

Recently, I've been posting a lot at my Facebook and Twitter accounts. And ,most of the posting get liked by a lot of friends, some exceeding 50 and above. I don't have any intention of banging others with my words, its just my personal opinion and if one feel offended with that, mind to tell me .

Well, I'm not a perfectionist, I don't expect people around me to be so damn perfect. Most of us do mistake and even me myself do mistakes.

Such stated in the Holy Quran, in surah al Asr, the last verse.

1. By Al-'Asr (the time).

2. Verily! Man is in loss,

3. Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf)which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar)which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.).

So, we can see at the last verse, if we don't want to be in loss, we should try to recommend one another to the truth and recommend others to be patience.

And in the term of being a college student, we should always remind our friends so that they wont be carried away with the Social world. Well, maybe now I am the one who always remind others, who knows one day I need to be reminded also.

Okay, thanks for reading.

NOT POSTING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME

Hello everybody,

Sorry if you are waiting for me to update my blog. Currently, I'm too busy with the foundation first in UTP, which i think I'm quite shocked because of not studying and opening even an academic book after finishing SPM last year xD.

One more, i think i am quite active in the micro-blog, Twitter . follow me if you want @ahmdfarhan

So, a lot of revision need to be done, because I'll be having my exams right after Hari Raya. I promise to update my blog as soon as possible when i have the time .

The topic that i would probably write is about HDR, bracketing, Light trails n others, wait and see guys , :)


Looking forward to have this 'thing' . Papa, buy me one ok ! I haven't claim my birthday present yet. xD


p/s : I'll be an official photographer for our family this Hari Raya. Pictures to be uploaded then :D

camera basics 3. ISO SETTING

Hai, just nak cte cket pengetahuan yang x brape banyak pasal ISO SETTING .

Okay, yang kita tahu, ISO setting ni berkaitan dengan sentiviti filem, contohnye 100, 200, 400, 800 dll.

So, lagi rendah nilainye, lagi clear gambar, n lagi tggi lagi blurr+noise ( especially untuk kamera yang murah harganya )

What's noise?

Noise adalah kesan seperti butir2 nasi di gambar spt dibawah,

buleh tgok gmba ni, but actualy noise terlalu ketara,
kalau sape yg pakai nikon d3000, boleh tgok noise jika pakai ISO 1600 n higher.

boleh tgok perbezaan antara gambar yang menggunakan ISO 100 (kiri) dan 3200 (kanan)

Bila nak pilih ISO, 4 perkara kene tgok,
1.Cahaya - terang or malap
2.Noise - nak gambar noise atau tidak
3.Tripod - pakai tripod?
4.Keadaan objek samada bergerak atau tidak

Cahaya :dalam keadaan cahaya terang, ISO yang digunakan adalah ISO 100 or 200
dalam keadaaan gelap,ISO yang digunakan adalah ISO 1600, 2000 n others.

Noise : kalau tak nak noise, pakai ISO rendah

Tripod and Keadaan objek : kalau stationary pakai ISO rendah , kalau moving pakai ISO tinggi



ISO jugak berbeza jika amek gambar outdoor n indoor, so, boleh try sendiri eh.

Saya pon tidak pandai nak ulas panjang pasal ISO ni, boleh tanya yang pakar, :))

Selamat mencuba !


p/s : PASTIKAN ANDA DAH MAHIR DENGAN APERTURE N SHUTER SPEED SEBELUM BELAJAR ISO SETTING !

camera basics 2. SHUTTER SPEED

SHUTTER SPEED - is defined by, the amount of time that the shutter is open

So, arini, aku nak share serba sikit yg aku amek dari web, pasal SHUTTER SPPED ni,

1. Shutter Speed diukur dalam saat atau, pecahan saat seperti 30",15",3",1/10,1/40,1/200,1/4000.

2. Usually, kite akan pakai shutter speed 1/60 atau lagi laju spt 1/80,1/100 - gambar susah untuk ditangkap dalam shutter speed yg lagi slow. Gambar akan blurr.

3. Kalau nak jugak pakai shutter speed lagi rendah drpd 1/60 - pakai tripod stand atau image stabiliser (normally installed on camera)



4. Lihat subjek samada bergerak atau pegun - Shutter speed laju digunakan untuk gambar yang bergerak dan shutter speed perlahan untuk gambar yang pegun.

Gambar ini ditangkap menggunakan setting shutter speed yang laju.

5. Sesetengah gamba yang bergerak diambil dengan shutter spped yang rendah - menunjukkan kesan pergerakan contohnya, kereta, air terjun dll.

6. BAGI YANG MENGGUNAKAN MANUAL MODE - diingatkan, setiap pertukaran shutter speed memberikan kesan pada APERTURE dan ISO setting, so, kalau tuka shutter speed, make sure tengokkan skali aperture value and ISO supaya gambar tidak overexpose dan underexpose.



Thats all for today. Selamat mencuba :)

camera basics 1. APERTURE

Apa itu Aperture? Senang cite, - Aperture adalah 'saiz lubang pada lens, bila amek gamba. " Ketika anda menekan butang shutter, kamera membuka lubang yang membolehkan kamera sensor gambar anda untuk melihat sekilas dari adegan anda ingin tangkap.

Aperture yang anda tetapkan mempengaruhi saiz lubang itu. Semakin besar lubang , semakin banyak cahaya masuk and vice verca.

Aperture diukur dalam 'f-stops' misalnya f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6 f/8, f/22.

1 thing perlu ingat, lagi kecik aperture, lagi banyak cahaya masok. So, aperture f/2.8 lagi besa daripada f/22.



aperture f/2.8
aperture : f/22
so, compare n contrast, both pictures, tgok camne depth of focus for kedua2 gamba


cube tgok kucing2 ni, cumi n ciki :). gamba ni amek pki aperture besa (f/5.6) , kucing je yg clear, background da blurr, kalau nak bacground jelas, pakai aperture kecik (f/22).




kalau dah faham, cube korang pike2 ape aperture yg sesuai untuk gambar :

landscape


potrait

macro

SELAMAT MENCUBA ;)
