Follow-up on my quest for better photography.
I bought my dream camera: Canon 5D on the 5th of October this year, and I really don't regret it! It is really worth it. Having a professional camera at a much better price then the Canon 1D Mark II or III. The sharpness and the quality is what I was looking for.

Full Frame Sensor: A physically larger sensor means each pixel can be made larger for a given sensor resolution, and larger pixels are better at distinguishing the light coming through the lens from electronic noise in the sensor.

Also, don't forget the darkroom. Our computer is our digital darkroom. A digital screen with Windows Vista Aero, makes a huge difference to work with colours and sharpness then standard screens. Also, don't forget to update your graphic card. And the best graphic card makes the difference too.

Also, a good post-processing program that works smoothly with the pixels as Photoshop. And the best place to learn Photoshop is at RadiantVista.com workbench.

Yep! It is a huge investment for all this but it depends on where you stand in photography. The more we get into it, the more we want from it! :))

My quest for doing better photos is my recent realisation that nature photos that I admire are taken in places where the light is very uniform. No overexposition nor underexposition. It was first taken in a perfect light condition and then minimal pp work I guess. So I will try to find those perfect conditions for my future work. But I still have plenty of photos in my stock that I haven't uploaded yet. I will probably upload them just because they mean a lot to me. So check the date the photos were taken, before or after today and lets hope that I achieve my goal!

Making HDR (High Dynamic Range) images is fun to do.

Cheers to you all! Yan
