<p>Hi,</p>

<p>as i visit this page quite randomly i would like my account to be deleted. I searched tho whole site but couldn't find a way to do it. My email address listed here no longer exist so its hard to communicate. Is there a way to delete my account please?</p>

<p>sorry for wrong forum but i don't know where to post it</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>Hey guys, <br>

thanks once again for your tips for Bali. Well, the issue with international driving licence is true - you got to have one, otherwise you run in trouble with local officers. its not a big deal as it is not a big amount of money, but after 3 times, it is paid back.<br>

I bought the 1.7 converter i was talking about and i did right decision - coast around Bali is not very deep, so the surfers are quite far away and yes - the 70-200 + 1.7TC is still not enough :) I didnt have problem with local photographers, but a friend of mine surfed corals where only the big guys have their fun and he told me, that on certain beaches are photographers "for rent" who shoot couple of pictures of you surfing for some amount of money /i think that was the Balangan beach/</p>

<p>I didnt use the underwater housing as it just cost too much and i somehow didnt believe in the Aquapack. I just bought cheap lomo with underwater housing and did some fun pics. Anyway, in every local grociery store you can buy a underwater Kodak to have fun with. </p>

<p>As for the country - i fell in love with Bali and definitely want to go there next year once again and again and again... People are so nice /hope thats not just mask on their faces/, the ocean is unbelieveble, sun is shining, everything cheap + Bintang bear everywhere. Really didnt have such a good feeling nearly nowhere till now. On our way back we stayed in Bangkok for two days - its nothing in comparison with Bali, i would say i dont like Bangkok at all.</p>

<p>This is all for now, i hope this helps some guys planing to do the same trip :)</p>

<p>thanks a lot for all your answers guys</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, tomorow i will do that, its really cheap here so it saves a lot of money :) thanks for tip and for the reastaurants :) the time is getting short, got to buy the convertor now!! :)</p>

<p>this si unbelieveble :) thanks stephane :)</p>

<p>Doug - thanks for info, i'm much calmer now :) i guess will go and see the aquapack but as you said - it looks very strange and doesnt to seem to work :) i was looking for some other brand, but google showed up with this result so... it is not that easy to get this stuff here as we are in central europe :)</p>

<p>stephane - thanks for tip, is this adress directly to the guy in bali or its just some international adress? how will i find him?</p>

<p>thanks a lot guys, love this</p>

<p>wow nice pieces there in your bag :) </p>

<p>we're going to stay in hotel near kuta beach but just 20 mins before i was told the nice spot for enjoying surf without a crowdy beach is Padang beach which is just next to Kuta. As we are not Pro's and still in phase of learning, i would say we spend 95perc time here and then go to see how the big guys do it somewhere near cliffs. I'm so excited to go there, it is like dream came true, so i guess i will be shooting everything :) No seriously i will try to find some rental to do the from-beach-shots and i'm playing with idea to get some underwater housing. But as i somehow dont realy trust these things i gues i will use here d60 and old old old 18-200, that would be not so horrible to get it damaged or something... i'm thinking of aquapack as their sortiment is here "to have", any experiences?<br>

I have no plans to sell some of my pictures, we are group of 15 ppl so i will only shoot them, not some pros or whatever, but right now i feel a bit scared to shoot there :) is it realy that bad?</p>

<p>ok so when i am reading this right it IS a better choice to buy a convertor <br>

A - the 70-200 2.8 is a freakin good lens, so even with loosing some stops it is still better choice than a 70-300<br>

B - i dont have to carry around two long lenses<br>

C - i dont have to buy a useless lens which would have no other use than on my vacation</p>

<p>is this right or do i miss something?</p>

<p>Thanks Elliot, what i am affraid of on the 2x convertor is the loosing of light, if i am right it is 3 steps. I am a novice at this, so is the sun that strong that i just dont have to worry about this?</p>

<p>

<p>Hi there, </p>

<p>I'm planing a surftrip on Bali next month and i would like to ask you guys, what is the gear i really need. As i am quite money less i would like to avoid buying something like a new len for 2000usd :) </p>

<p>Im planing to take the 70-200 2.8 on a d200, maybe d90. Im affraid the 200 will not be far enough so maybe i buy a 1.7 convertor. As i am on water and in sunny weather, i guess i will need a polarizing filter.</p>

<p>these are just my thoughts, is there anything else a have to take care of to have my perfect pictures?</p>

<p>if any of you have been on bali, please tell me what to take care of /examlple - how far is surfer from the coast, etc/</p>

<p>thank you very much :)</p>

</p>

<p>thanks guys,</p>

<p>finally i decided to take t Contax T2. So far i shot everything in b&w and i must say i am really impressed about the pictures. i would say i love it, the only thing that i cant not get is to how to take pics in lowlight with flash - all the pics seem to be a bit overexposed, but i guess i have to play with expo comp a bit. if anyone has the same probs, pls help to get it right.</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>f75 is a nice one for decent prize, but i think it is a bit toooo huge to carry around + people are mostly scared of bigger ameras :) but tanks for tip</p>

<p>thanks guys for your answers<br>

maybe i was too quick putting my question, so i try to be more specific. i own two nikons dslr's and a bunch of glasses, with wich i am really really satisfied. those are heavy ones so i would prefer, this camera is a smaller one to carry it wherever i go to a party, to town, etc. and as i am a newcomer to film, i would like to raise as a photographer, to learn and to try :)<br>

i love for example this kind of pic to show you what is my photoaim :)</p>

<p>Hi guys,<br>

first happy new year :)<br>

second - im not sure if this is the right forum to write<br>

 <br>

i shoot digital but in last few months i somehow got posessed by a film camera. i would like to buy one of these<br>

contax g2, contax t2, konica hexar or ricoh gr1.<br>

i would like to use it as a overall cam, not for something special, like portraits etc and i would love to be able to shoot wider /angle/ and in worse light conditions aswell. it would really help me if you can point out some of the pro's and con's of these as i have no idea about it. i mean i red a lot of articles, but a bit conversation is really fine :)</p>

Well guys thanks a lot for all your answers, as this was my first question on this forum ever, i am very very pleased with all your answers and advices.

Well i think i have to try all of your suggestions. It will take a lot of time to master the flash without any manual and advices, i'm gonna search here for some help :)

 

Anyway i've tryied some settings here with my supermodel - shot with 17-55, Aparature priority /60/, f8 ev -5, flash in manual mode 1/128, 0.8m, zoomed to 105mm

 

Please guys, give me some advices to catch the right direction in this :)

 

Thanks a lot once again, i really love your advices

Oh i am sorry i use a d200 with the sb800 on the camera and the Nikor 17-55 lens

 

John - what do you mean with VERY focused? Does it have something to do with flash zoom?

 

Omega - I somehow cant find translation of "snoot" -is it kind of shield which covers the flash to stop the light spread all over the place?

How could the flash give this effect? could you be more specific? i have really no experience with this /or any other than build in/ flash, i guess i would need a "how to - for complete imbecil" guide :)

 

 

Guys thanks for answers, you are really helpful

First of all i want to say Hi to all of you contributors to this very helpful

forum and thanks for all your advices i learned very lot from you guys :)

 

Now, whats my question... Recently I purchased a used sb800. It was not my aim,

but the price was very kind, because the original owner wanted to get rid of his

equipment in a short time. So basicly i have just a little knowledge how to use

it and i am in the phase of trying. But thing that would interest me a lot is

how to set the flash with camera to achieve this kind of effect

all i know is, that author of this picture was saying something about strong

flash /which i have right know/, underexposure and zooming with the flash. He

said that this is the very basic technique you can shoot with the flash and it

is no big deal. Well, i dont care if its not art to do this kind of pictures,

but i just love the decadency and atmosphere of this kind of shots :)

 

So anyone who could give me some tips how to set things to do this, would help

me a lot :)

 

Thanks guys

 

PS-anyone knows a photographer who uses this techique to see more examples?
