The new wide ratio zoom DX-NIKKOR lens boasts a focal length range of 16 to 85mm, which makes it ideal for a broad range of shooting situations, including indoor-outdoor events, streetscapes, portraits and scenery. When mounted on any DX-format Nikon digital SLR camera, the picture angle is equivalent to that produced by a 24 to 127.5mm focal length lens on a 35mm film camera. An ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) built into the lens body ensures fast, quiet and accurate autofocus operation and complements the compact, lightweight design for superb handling. With dimensions of only Ø72 x 85 mm/ø2.8 x 3.4 in., this new lens is ideal for general photography and perfectly suited for many who specialize in travel and nature photography. Nikon's Vibration Reduction II, specifically engineered for each NIKKOR lens, gives photographers the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops* slower than would otherwise be possible, thereby minimizing image blur caused by camera shake. This enables dramatically sharper handheld shooting at dusk or at night, or even in poorly lit interiors. And because Nikon s VR function is incorporated in and designed expressly for the lens, it provides state-of-the-art image sharpness capacity and a stable viewfinder image, which makes framing and composing a scene far more comfortable and accurate. *As determined in Nikon performance tests The new high-performance optical system has been optimized for Nikon digital SLRs, with two 02 03

ISO 3200 capability provides extended shooting range Extended light sensitivity range with manual settings up to ISO 3200 adds the power to shoot more effectively in lower lighting conditions, or to capture moving subjects with outstanding clarity. Automatic sensitivity control is also available, freeing you to concentrate on the shot while the camera selects the optimal setting across a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800. Three Unique Nikon Image Innovations The COOLPIX S600 features a selection of three innovative functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of images within the camera. Face-priority AF* automatically finds, then focuses on people s faces for crisp, clear results time after time. In- Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered during flash photography. And D-Lighting can be applied to improve underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight. D-Lighting automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched. *Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions. Large 2.7-inch LCD monitor for quality viewing and easier menu operation Practically defying the COOLPIX S600 s compact body proportions is a high quality 2.7-inch LCD monitor with improved shooting displays and revised icons.

ROMANCING VIETNAM WITH D300 - PART 1 ROMANCING VIETNAM WITH D300 - PART 1 ROMANCING VIETNAM WITH D300 PART 1 Text and Pictures By Steven Yee Pui Chung MBA, B.Eng (Mech), FRPS, FPSS, FPSM, Hon.FPSM, Hon.FKCC, AFIAP Recent years have seen a keen interest among many photographers venturing into Vietnam for photography opportunities. Initially, I thought this was probably due to some tourism promotion gimmicks by some tour agency until I was urged by some of my students to organise a photography trip to Vietnam. I read through a few travel guide books, especially my favourite DK Eye Witness Guide. A trip was thus organised during the Christmas to explore central Vietnam (Danang, Hoi An, My Son, Hue) and then southwards to Ho Chi Minh, Can Tho and My Tho. For the first time in recent years, my usual hardy D2X became my backup camera for this trip while I test the D300 to the limit. I shot about 9000 pictures over a period of 8 days, shooting continuously about 10 frames if the angle is good. The buffer is good. Under the Set Picture Control, I set to D2XMode3 and the colour rendition is similar to what I would expect from the D2X. The camera works very well with my usual set of 18-200mm DX VR, 12-24mm DX and 10.5mm fisheye. The built in flashlight can be conveniently activated as and when needed to fill in light. What amazed me is that the noise level is well controlled when high ISO is used. For me who am using the DX lenses, the D300 will come in handy to continue the legacy left behind by my ageing D2X workhorse which has already clocked for me more than 250,000 shots in my previous travel stints. One of our difficulties faced was the limited ability of the local guide in conversing in English. We had to speak within the simplest means to avoid any miscommunication. Even the pronunciation of the city names left much to be desired. Hoi An can be easily pronounced by us, but Hue, Can Tho, My Son and My Tho are pronounced differently from what we would expect them to be correct. What was embarrassing was when I told the hotel receptionist that our next stop is Can Tho (I pronounced as the usual Canto as in the Canto Pub), she stared at me blankly, only to realise a few days later in Can Tho that it should be pronounced as Kern Therd. My Tho is to be pronounced as Mi Tho, Hue to be pronounced as Huay. Some Tips for travelling: You are not likely to spend more than 2 weeks in the location, hence time is a limiting factor. A good local guide who knows a bit of photography will be good to have as he or she will know when to stop when the bus pass by some interesting subjects or places. It is good to know more about the places you are going to, getting the information from the guide books, internet resources and photography books. In other words, plan what you would like to shoot. Get some reference shots from stock libraries so that you can better prepare yourself what you are in for. Print them and ask your local guide to help you. Shoot more, shortlist everyday and keep a backup set of images in a separate hard disk. Do not eat the food by the roadside (anywhere) until you are localised. It is good to have an extra set of equipment on standby, in case your equipment malfunctions. Bring sufficient medicine, for sore throat, cough, flu etc. Nikon D300, 3-D Matrix metering, Daylight White Balance, ISO250, Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter speed 1/1600s, Aperture f5.3, 18-200mm VR set at 112mm focal length The ferry continued to fetch the people and their wares between the shores in Hoi An. This picture is technically challenging as I had to photograph the people against a brighter background. The D300 is able to capture the details of the people well despite the contrast in the lighting. 44 45

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS In this ninth part of a series of techniques, Steven Yee shall share with you tips on photographing patterns. A travel photographer and photography instructor, Steven Yee conducts the Nikon D40/D40X, D70/D70s and D80 workshop monthly at Knowledge Bowl (www.knowledgebowl.com.sg). More of his works can be found on the Volume One collection of www.discovernikon.com "Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern." Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947), English philosopher and mathematician. Dialogues, June 10, 1943. A pattern is a recurring set of events or objects which repeat in a predictable way. It is one of the things that seasoned photographers will look out for in their quest for new images. It can be the tiles on the floor, the veins of the leaves, the neatly arranged rows of shoes in the kindergarten or even the rows of long shadows created by the pillars in the late afternoon. The photographers obsessions for patterns can be evident in some of the world s greatest images. One need not be an expert in photography to be able to identify patterns from their surroundings. To take nice pictures of the patterns, one needs to equip oneself with the necessary basic photography knowledge as well as with the right equipment. For many beginners, some of the common problems faced will include: Camera or subject shake Messy background Unsure of which angle to adopt In many cases, many beginners overlook the 58 PATTERN Text and Pictures By Steven Yee Pui Chung MBA, B.Eng (Mech), FRPS, FPSS, FPSM, Hon.FPSM, Hon.FKCC, AFIAP distracting objects in the background which can disrupt the pattern or draw the viewers attention away from the pattern. If at all possible, it is usually good to avoid having the background in the image. One quick way to solve this problem is to either move yourself or if you can, try to rearrange the subjects. Should the background cannot be avoided in the image, try to have a simple background. Another common problem faced by photographers is the lack of ideas as to what angle and composition to use to shoot the pattern. Whether to focus on one part of the pattern and render the rest out of focus, or shoot directly head on and have all the patterns sharp, or shoot from an angle, these often leave the photographers with so many options to choose from. It is good to spend some time exploring the various angles. Experiment with the various angles and shoot more, especially if the pattern is nice, shoot both horizontally and vertically. If the results are unsatisfactory, you can always delete the images later. Poor lighting condition and use of low ISO which results in slow shutter speed is the main culprit for camera and subject shake. If the subject is stationary, a good tripod will be useful in preventing camera shake. If you are shooting handheld, it is good to achieve a shutter speed of at least 1/(focal length). Equally important is the ability to appreciate the quality of light at different times of the day as well as the weather condition. Mid day sun is usually avoided to prevent having hotspot on the subjects. Early morning and late afternoon often produces good lighting that light up the subjects nicely. Even on a cloudy day, the flat lighting can also help to produce some modest images. Hence, do not discount the possibility of photographing nice images even on a cloudy day. Some Tips: Be conscious of your surrounding where you can find patterns. It can be closer to you than you can imagine. Try various angles (top, low, eye level). Any lens can shoot pattern, including the fisheye lens. COMING UP NEXT... Coming up in the next issue, Steven Yee shall share with you his tips on shooting with smoke and fog. How are such pictures taken? What can be good subjects? Look out for it. Avoid clutter in the background. Keep it simple. Use of lighting to create visual impact. If need be, increase ISO to minimize camera shake. With the tips above in mind as well as the case studies below, enjoy feasting your eyes in a world of pattern.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS Nikon D300, 3-D Matrix metering, Daylight White Balance, ISO200, Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter speed 1/40s, Aperture f4.8, 18-200mm VR set at 50mm focal length What attracted me are the colours and the way the incense are neatly arranged in this roadside incense stall in Vietnam. I left my tripod in the bus and the lighting is a bit flat that day. I switch on the VR (Vibration Reduction) on my lenses and set the ISO at 200. Though I did not manage to get 1/(focal length) for the shutter speed, the VR helps. (To minimise camera shake, it is good to have a shutter speed at least 1/focal length). I had to position my angle to minimise the background clutter and put my attention to just the incense sticks. Nikon D2X, Centre Weighted metering, Daylight White Balance, ISO400, Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter speed 1/45s, Aperture f6.3, 18-200mm VR set at 42mm focal length Try to be observant and look at things around you. When you were walking in some alleys, or waiting for your drinks to be served in a coffeeshop, some pictures can be taken. I saw this crate of empty bottles and took this shot right from the top. Cropping was done after that to remove any unwanted background. Nikon D2X, Center Weighted metering, Daylight White Balance, ISO200, Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter speed 1/250s, Aperture f5, 18-200mm VR set at 70mm focal length The repetitive pillars caught my attention but there was no main subject. I asked my local guide to source for some possible main subject and somehow we managed to find a few workers who were dressed colourfully. Got one of them to pose. Well, it is a custom for them not to reveal their faces, and we respected that. 60 Nikon D2X, Centre Weighted metering, Daylight White Balance, ISO250, Program Mode, Shutter speed 1/400s, Aperture f10, 18-200mm VR set at 82mm focal length I saw the row of windows in this old fort in India and I tried to figure out how to approach this shot. I looked around and saw a few workers ferrying baskets of construction materials. I took my position and waited. With everyone of them in the frame, the shot can be a bit messy but nonetheless I shot a couple of shots first. The last one in the group was in blue and I thought to keep the picture simple, I just need one subject. I waited for the rest of the group to clear and when she was left alone, I fired away. 61
