Megumi Koh on 13 April 2010

Posted by KhoKing on Wednesday Apr 14, 2010 Under Photography

Got some cameras and lenses yesterday, so have my Megumi as model to test the performance.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro is really sharp! Shots were taken using Canon EOS 7D and 50D, with 580EX II mounted on it.

New Photo Malaysia T-Shirt!

Posted by KhoKing on Sunday Apr 4, 2010 Under Photography

Design is still the same, but with added green colour to the collar and sleeves. Special request to the maker to add the bright Green, took nearly a month to special made.

I don’t have a male model for me to shoot…and my stomach isn’t pretty in the shirt…so only showing female shirt there.

Back side is the same like the previous shirt (picture below is of previous design).

Another Good Reason to Shoot RAW

Posted by KhoKing on Thursday Apr 1, 2010 Under Photography

After reading the article update of latest Adobe RAW converter and Lightroom offering and example of processing at dpreview.com:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/1003/10032402lightroombetaupdate.asp

Nikon D3S, ISO 52,200

Adobe Camera Raw v5.6 (default settings) Lightroom 3 beta 2 (default settings)
It is obvious that in this file, too, ACR 6.0 is not only better at reducing chroma noise than ACR 5.6, it does so without a significant penalty in color saturation. At default settings, files processed through ACR 6.0 are more detailed, partly because chroma noise isn’t masking pixel-level detail.

It is interesting to see that from the same RAW file, new Adobe software is able to process and deliver cleaner and better quality file output.

If the original image was shot in Jpeg, then this conversion and improvement would not have been possible.
