Flash Light

Many photographers think of using a flash only at night or in poor lighting. However, a flash can be very useful in daylight too. Eliminate the shade under trees. Use fill-in lighting to sharpen the subject. Address catchlight in the eyes, and stop motion. Emphasize the lighting contrast. Enjoy more opportunities to use your flash.

On my in inspiration i like to have the newest Nissin because is cheaper which is the di622 markII which cost around RM600. Furthermore there is many differences between between mark II and the normal di622 which cost around RM500.

Lens Hood


Using a lens hood is like flossing your teeth. You know you should do it, but how many of us really do? (I have to floss; my wife is a dental hygienist). And just as flossing will improve the health of your teeth, regular use of a lens hood will improve the quality of your images.

The main purpose of a hood is to prevent stray light from entering the lens through the side of the lens. Light from just outside the photo border can still enter the lens, bouncing inside the barrel and reflecting off the lens surfaces to reach the image sensor indirectly.

This light can reduce the contrast and color saturation of the photo. This is why movie cameras are always used with a hood (matte box), as can be seen in any "The Making of ..." movie documentary. With the vast sums of money spent on making a movie, only the best image quality will do. Furthermore the price of hood is cheaper whereas the special mounted ones will cost u more.I bought a lens hood for about RM20 for my 18-135 mm and it take me 2hours of searching up and down at Lowyat and Sungei Wang.
