Ironies in photographic equipment...

[lanatir]

It's interesting how photography works...

1) buy the sharpest lenses and drool over the bokeh
2) buy technically advanced lenses with edge-to-edge sharpness and then introduce vignetting in photoshop
3) praise the colour of some superb lenses and then desaturate the photos using photoshop
4) buy the sharpest lenses and take photos of women and then introduce soft blur using photoshop
5) travel to faraway beautiful locations to shoot models and then blur the background in the photos using shallow DOF

main main only ah... feel free to add :D

hahhaha...i dun have all those five statement...how come ah...

buy a body with technologically advanced in-camera processor but only shoot in RAW

[ShaolinTiger]

Buy the best fastest f/2.8 and f/1.4 lenses, but blast everything with flash.

Buy a weather sealed camera, weather sealed lenses and weather sealed flash but run under cover at the first sign of drizzle.

Keep returning lenses for focusing problems because you don't even know your camera is on Ai-Servo mode.

Buy the most expensive 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens but still get washed out blurred pictures.

Praise the 5-8fps ability of your camera but only EVER shoot at single frame.

Have a top of the range PC and Photoshop but use the limited in camera processing engine by shooting Jpeg :P

Ehh....buy the camera for the sake of the lowest noise performance in ISO1600 but use ISO 100 all the time...:D

Oh one more thing. practise your shots by shooting people and food at a regular mamak gathering.... and throw all your gears for others to gawk at and your silly pics as well.

I'm guilty of this one.... :redface: but occasionally, I do use up to ISO800 for indoor shots without flash. Very rarely forced myself to use ISO1600 because too much details get lost during NR.
