I've seen photos taken with 450Ds/40Ds that looks no different from those of a P&S. And hey, you'll never know how deep you're gonna go as far as photography is concerned! But then again, I'll prolly stick to the kit lens too now that I'm too broke to my anything else. =( Hehe. You're right about that. But I've kinda..grown out of anime. Dunno since when, I just.. stopped watching them out of the blue lol. @Fahriee, Thank you! =D I didn't really meant it as a trick though, I assumed my readers knew I played with my uncles 40D awhile ago since I twitted about it then. Sure thing! @Eli James, Same here! =D @teddy, I can relate to that, haha. I get a lot of those failures too, got too used too the ease of point and shoot with a uh, point & shoot camera. =P @KiAm, Well then again as I’ve said, it depends on who’s behind the viewfinder.

Actually many of the photos are really bad - like the framing, the lighting and etc, teehee! I can't wait to see the next update! :D Yea I guess I’ve gotta do something about that perfectionist inside me! Actually many of the photos are really bad — like the framing, the lighting and etc, teehee!

I can’t wait to see the next update! :D

A 5% passing rate is indeed very strict. I guess that's what you have to be to maintain a very high standard - not surprising coming from a perfectionist like you! =) @cdason, Glad you liked them! You should get one too, Cyril! You have a pretty good eye for photography too. ;) @KiAm, Cool, then we can form a Canon 1000D club in Swinburne, LOL! Seriously, who else I know uses the 1000D? Care to fill me in? =P Anyway, don't let the commonplace of the 1000D be a factor in your decision making. In fact, that could actually mean a good thing - for you can actually trade lenses or accessories among users of the same brand! And don't forget, it's the photographer that matters! Hahaha! The anime club has enough dSLR users lah. No need a noobie like me. =P @teddY, Wow, you put your photos through a –very– tough screening process! A 5% passing rate is indeed very strict.

When it comes to photos, at most 5% of the photos I take that are up to my standard. The rest will just be in the archives doing nothing but occupying space. For example, I took 805 photos on my recent trip to Genting and only 26+ photos are post processed. What a high failure rate :P Seriously, you don't know how nice your photos will be :) I'm not anywhere better... haha. You’re not alone!

That is indeed Lightroom I have running on my laptop. No need to wait for my photos lar, they'll only demotivate you. = Get yourself that A300 already, or better still, a 1000D so we can share gear and go on photography outings. =D =D @Eli James, My pleasure! We'll never get sick of that phrase, heh! =) Glad you liked the photos, very motivational coming from a photographer like you. @wying, You just can't resist slipping in some criticism among your praises can't you? =P Actually, I'm trying to be a little moderate here. If I did indeed post my 'far more handsome than that' photo, I'm afraid I can't handle a bunch of cute girls recognizing me on the streets. Oh wait, that doesn't sound so bad after all. ;) @Kiam, Very sharp! That is indeed Lightroom I have running on my laptop. No need to wait for my photos lar, they’ll only demotivate you. =
