AMBARUKMO PLAZA PHOTO CONTEST
Bulan Maret 2010 kemarin saya dan anggota team AUTIS PHOTOGRAPHY mengikuti lomba yang diadakan oleh AMBARUKMO PLAZA dalam menyambut ulangtahun AMBARUKMO PLAZA dengan object gedung ambarukmo plaza tersebut dan model.
Pertama tanggal 3 Maret kita mencoba untuk memotret gedung ambarukmo plaza, dari berbagai angel kita capture dengan menampilkan keunikan masing-masing. Kita mencoba untuk memotret gedung saat pagi hari dimana matahari masi berwarna merona tapi cuaca ternyata sedikit mendung saat itu dan kitapun tetap mengambil gambar dengan harapan mendapat sesuatu yg unik sendiri dengan cuaca seperti ini hingga hujanpun turun dan kita putuskan untuk berhenti dan berteduh diteras plaza ambarukmo sampai hujan reda.
Dihari berikutnya kita semua berkumpul di Ceasar Club yang berada dalam AMBARUKMO PLAZA untuk daftar ulang dan briefing pemotretan model. Saat daftar ulang terlihat banyak peserta yang semangat untuk mengikuti lomba ini mulai dari pemula hingga para pakar tentusaja dibidang fotografi.
Berikutnya saat briefing diperkenalkan model-model cantik dan ganteng oleh panitia dan memang cantik ternyata hehe, ada 3model dewasa WEN , GADISA, 1 model cowok dan 2 model cilik. dan ternyata lokasi yang digunakan adalah outlet-outlet yang sudah ditunjuk dan ada di AMBARUKMO PLAZA
Wow seru bukan, dan pemotretan sesi pertama diadakan langsung dalam satu waktu ada 3 sesi yg sedang berlangsung dan itu berbeda outlet jadi kita sendiri yg harus mengatur waktu untuk membagi moment yg ada disemua outlet..saat itu ada di outlet Otani, Dunkin Donuts, dan di Time Zone
Setelah sesi pertama diadakan jam istirahat dan dimanfaatkan dengan semaximal mungkin untuk mempersiapkan gear masing². Lalu diadakan sesi kedua dengan antusias kita pun segera bergegas untuk menghampiri outlet² yg ditunjuk berikutnya yaitu di Naughty dan Taman Sari Food Court,
Pemotretan berlangsung dengan sangat sengit dan ramai demi mencari angel dan spot yg tidak bocor para peserta berteriak-teriak untuk memperingatkan peserta lain yg berada dalam area frame kamera mereka
waduhh-waduhh sabar donk pak mas pakde mbah..hehe
Dan sesi keduapun selesai dan diputuskan untuk istirahat sejenak untuk model bersiap-siap ganti costum untuk sesi terakhir diluar gedung yaitu di halaman taman AMBARUKMO PLAZA yg berada di timur gedung
disana terlihat peserta lebih leluasa untuk melakukan eksekusi karena luasnya halaman hingga sorepun menjelang dan sesi terakhirpun berakhir..dan tidak lupa dan ketinggalan berfoto dulu dengan model favorit disana bernama Gadisa ..makasih gadisa ;)
Peserta hanya diberi waktu 1hari untuk mengumpulkan hasil karyanya dan berikut hasil yg bisa saya dapat untuk dikumpulkan kepada panitia
Motret itu menyenangkan!!

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens Review by The Digital Picture
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is my favorite and most-used lens.
Combining a very popular and very useful focal length range with excellent image quality, professional build quality, superb autofocus performance, a fast aperture and one of my favorite features - Canon's valuable 3-stop Image Stabilization - makes the 70-200 IS one of Canon's most desired lenses. When I really need to make every shot count, the 70-200 IS is one of the first lenses I will include in my bag. It is one of the most-professionally-used lenses available and finds a home in the kit of many, many serious amateurs as well.
Like all of the Canon L Series Lenses, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens' build quality is very high. High build quality often results in a size and weight penalty.
Weighing 3.24 lbs (1470g) and measuring 3.4" x 7.8" (86.2mm x 197mm), the 70-200 IS will not be mistaken for a light or small lens. However, I can carry this lens for long periods of time without feeling it is a burden. This is a weather sealed lens that is ready to take professional use (or should I say "abuse").
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens balances out great build quality with excellent image quality. Images are sharp wide open (f/2.8) - corner performance is remarkable even with a Full Frame body. Stopping down to f/4 delivers even sharper results with better contrast.
I have received some comments on the ISO 12233 resolution chart samples for this lens - some think they are too soft at f/2.8. As I get time, I retest questionable results - Or even buy another copy of the lens to insure accurate but expectable results. I re-tested this lens and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L non-IS USM Lens at the 200mm focal length using AF, MF and bracketing - obtained results were identical. The chart is tough on optical performance, and real life images do seem sharper. I use this lens wide open much of the time - the results are quite satisfactory to me. Stopping down from f/2.8 to f/4 will show a difference - and will make this lens very close in performance to the remarkable Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens at the same aperture.
Color and contrast are good. Some CA is present (especially in the upper focal lengths). Vignetting is well controlled, basically only showing in the corners at f/2.8 and encroaching the most at 200mm. I notice slight barrel distortion at the 70-200's widest focal lengths full frame body. Distortion is not an issue with a 1.3x or 1.6x FOVCF body.
Utilizing an 8-blade circular aperture, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens delivers foreground/background blur quality that is renowned. It doesn't get much better than this. The longer included focal lengths will create a diffuse background blur as well.
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens delivers fixed focal length lens performance in a much more versatile (in my opinion) package. Use the included ISO 12233 Resolution Test Chart sample crops to compare the 70-200 IS with some of the fixed focal length lenses in this focal length range such as the Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L Lens and the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens. The primes have some advantages (a wider aperture is one of the biggest) and I use them, but the versatility of 130 other instantly-available focal lengths causes me to far more frequently use the 70-200 IS. Having zoom versatility can mean the difference between getting the shot and getting nothing with a young, energetic child. Any cropping required on a picture shot with the prime will quickly negate any image quality advantage it has.
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens' internal focusing is very fast, quiet and accurate thanks in part to Canon's excellent Ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor). An autofocus range limitation switch enables enhanced autofocus performance. Aside from a very slight amount of play in the focus ring (not enough to impede manual focusing), the zoom and focus rings are very smooth and nicely sized. The objective lens does not rotate or extend with focusing (or with focal length changes).
With a relatively long closest focus distance of 4.9' (1.5m), the 70-200 IS is not going to be confused with a macro lens. A maximum magnification of .16x can be a limiting factor for very tight portraits with this lens on a full-frame body. Of course, extension tubes can help - taking the maximum magnification to .22x and .41x for 12mm and 25mm tubes respectively. The maximum magnification at 200mm is actually less when extension tubes are used (.06x and .14x) than when they are not present. Native maximum magnification is achieved at 200mm.
A tripod ring, a lens hood and a nice lens case are included in the box when the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens purchased from a reputable retailer. With a 77mm filter size, it is easy to share filters across Canon's L lens series zooms.
Combining a very popular and very useful focal length range with excellent image quality, professional build quality, superb autofocus performance, a fast aperture and one of my favorite features - Canon's valuable 3-stop Image Stabilization - makes the 70-200 IS one of Canon's most desired lenses. When I really need to make every shot count, the 70-200 IS is one of the first lenses I will include in my bag. It is one of the most-professionally-used lenses available and finds a home in the kit of many, many serious amateurs as well.
Pictured above from left to right are the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens, Canon 70-200mm f/4 L USM Lens and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens. The 70-200 IS is shown with the included tripod ring and an accessory Wimberley P20 Lens Plate.
Like all of the Canon L Series Lenses, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens' build quality is very high. High build quality often results in a size and weight penalty.

Canon's excellent Image Stabilization (IS) allows the 70-200 IS to be handheld in 3 f-stops lower light level than the non-IS Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L USM Lens. I can handhold this lens at 200mm with a shutter speed as low as 1/30 and maintain a decent hit-rate whereas the non-IS lens would require a shutter speed of at least 1/200 to yield similar results.
The included Mode-2 IS is designed for panning. Use it for a subject moving in one direction - pan the camera with the subject. Good subjects for Mode-2 IS include a bicyclist or a vehicle. Blur the background with motion - leave the subject sharp with good depth of field.
This IS version is tripod-sensing - The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens knows that a tripod is being used when vibrations go below a certain level. Keep IS turned on when mounting on a tripod to take advantage of this secondary IS mode - reducing mirror slap, shutter and tripod vibrations. The downside is the slightly additional battery drain.
Keep in mind that Image Stabilization will not stop subject motion. Moving subjects such as a running soccer player will require higher shutter speeds (or a bright flash) to stop the action - Image Stabilization does not help in these situations. Many people question the additional cost of the IS version of the 70-200 f/2.8. My advice - unless you are only shooting fast action or in bright lighting conditions, go for the IS version.

With a relatively long closest focus distance of 4.9' (1.5m), the 70-200 IS is not going to be confused with a macro lens. A maximum magnification of .16x can be a limiting factor for very tight portraits with this lens on a full-frame body. Of course, extension tubes can help - taking the maximum magnification to .22x and .41x for 12mm and 25mm tubes respectively. The maximum magnification at 200mm is actually less when extension tubes are used (.06x and .14x) than when they are not present. Native maximum magnification is achieved at 200mm.
A tripod ring, a lens hood and a nice lens case are included in the box when the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens purchased from a reputable retailer. With a 77mm filter size, it is easy to share filters across Canon's L lens series zooms.
Above from left to right are the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM Lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens. The two f/2.8 lenses are shown with their included tripod rings. The f/2.8 IS lens is shown with an optional Wimberley P20 Lens Plate attached to the tripod ring. The same lenses are shown below with their included lens hoods attached.
I find MANY uses for my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens, but portrait photography is where this lens shines for me. I would choose the 70-200 IS over everything else if I were going to take out-of-the-studio portrait pictures - especially candid portraits. Some may find the 70-200mm focal length slightly long on a 1.6x FOVCF body, but this lens would still be my personal choice. Image Stabilization lets me take indoor daylight-lit portraits without additional lighting (with a still subject that is).
Outdoor sports photography is another popular use for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens. I say outdoor sports because f/2.0 or higher is often required to achieve a high enough shutter speed to stop indoor sports action. If the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is what you have, definitely use it for indoors sports. You will likely need to use ISO 1600 or 3200 to stop the action. Of course, if your indoor sports lighting is exceptional, this is the perfect lens to use.
OK, back outdoors ... The 200mm maximum focal length is fine for even the big field events if you are using a 1.6x FOVCF body and/or a Canon Extender EF 1.4x. More serious field sports (soccer, baseball ...) photographers prefer even longer focal lengths such as those available in the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens - is a very good alternative for this use. While the pros often shoot these sports with a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS Lens, they frequently have another camera body with a 70-200 IS mounted on it for the closer action. The wide f/2.8 aperture availability can be a big help for those early morning, late evening or heavily overcast events.
Going for a walk in the park or to the beach with the family? The 70-200mm focal length is great for candid shots of the loved ones. Some think the 70-200 IS weighs too much for this use; most don't mind the weight after seeing their results.
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is frequently employed at weddings. Lack of light is generally not a problem at outdoor weddings, but indoor weddings (and receptions) are usually light-challenged. There is not a lot of action (movement) during most wedding ceremonies and IS can be very helpful in this situation. The 70-200 zoom range lets you take a variety of shots without intruding on the ceremony. Capturing unsuspecting subjects results in more-candid shots.
Indoor church and stage performance photography can be a great use for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens as long as the subjects are not moving too much. Indoor and outdoor event photography is another great use.
General wildlife photography is another area where my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens finds occasional use. When paired with the Canon Extender EF 1.4x on a Canon body with a 1.6x FOVCF, this lens starts having some significant reach. If you plan to use this lens with an extender most of the time, I once again suggest you look at the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens or the Canon 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens as performance with the 1.4x is decent but not exceptional. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is also compatible with the Canon Extender EF 2x II, but not everyone will be satisfied with the results of this combination.
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is not an inexpensive lens, but it is very worth the price in my opinion. I consider this my second most important lens with the first being a more general purpose lens in focal length range. My keeper rate from this lens is among the best of any lenses I have used.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens Review by The Digital Pictures
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers very sharp images as inexpensively as Canon lenses get.
Build quality of the 50 f/1.8 is very cheap (as you might expect). This lens feels more like a toy than a piece of optics. It utilizes plastic contruction right down to the lens mount (the lenses are glass of course). This light material combined with the small size (2.7" x 1.6"/68.2mm x 41.0mm - WxL) puts this lens in the featherweight class - 4.6 oz (130g). The 50 f/1.8 is currently Canon's lightest and shortest lens. Considering how light the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens is, I think the plastic lens mount is adequate for strength. You might get more wear than you wish if you are changing the lens frequently.
There is not much to this lens. There is no distance window or markings. There is barely even a focus ring - and the tiny ring that is there is barely usable.
Autofocus is driven by a micro motor. Focus speed is not stellar, but fine in good light with subjects that are not moving too quickly. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens is one of Canon's louder/buzzier lenses - you know when it is focusing. But this is not a wildlife lens - and the noise probably won't bother most people. I suppose a positive aspect of the sound is that you know when it is working - and when focus is locked. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not included. The 50 f/1.8 extends up to 5/16" during focusing - the very small 52mm filter does not rotate.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens' strongest quality is its sharpness. Sharpness performance wide open (f/1.8) is decent, but the Canon 50 f/1.8 is very sharp at f/2.8 and beyond. It is slightly sharper than even then Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens.
With an f/1.8 maximum aperture, this is a fast lens. Unfortunately, only five non-rounded aperture blades are used in this lens. This design leads to sometimes-poor bokeh (image quality of out of focus areas).
In the above comparison image, the background blur of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens (left), Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens (middle) and Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens (right) are presented. These pictures were taken using identical (neutral) settings (that include an f/2.8 aperture). A tripod was used - the camera was focused on a stationary test target. In the top row of pictures, the difference in background blur harshness is easily seen. In the lower row of pictures, the effect of the shape and quantity of the aperture blades can easily be seen even at the relatively wide f/2.8 aperture. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens produces the harshest blur and will give five sides to out of focus points of light. Don't like 5 sides? Try hearts.
Light fall-off is noticeable through f/2.8 or so on a full frame body. When mounted on a 1.6x FOVCF body, light fall-off is basically only noticeable wide open. On a full-frame body, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens vignetting clears up about a stop later than the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens (the 50mm f/1.4 @ f/2 is similar to the 50mm f/1.8 @ f/2.8).
Colors produced by the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens are OK, but not stellar. Especially at wide apertures, color/contrast is a step below lenses such as the 50 f/1.4. CA (Chromatic Aberration) is very low.
With a minimum focus distance of 1.5' (.45m), the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers a rather low native maximum magnification of .15x. Adding extension tubes take maximum magnification to .39x and .68x for 12mm and 25mm tubes respectively. These numbers are basically the same for Canon's three non-macro 50mm lenses.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens takes the optional ES-62 Lens Hood that includes the Hood Adapter 62. The hood adapter threads onto the lens - the hood then attaches to the adapter by pinching two latches. This lens ships with no lens pouch/case. A Lowepro Lens Case 1W works well (but is somewhat large) for this lens with the hood installed. Without the hood, a Lowepro Lens Case 1s would provide a more compact solution. The 50 f/1.8 has a very small 52mm filter size - 52mm filters are very inexpensive.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens (above left with Hood Adapter 62 installed) is positioned next to Canon's other non-macro 50mm lenses - the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens (above center) and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens (above right). The same lenses are shown below with their lens hoods in place (optional with the two non-L 50mm lenses).
Moving your lens selection from the left-most lens to the right-most lens makes a huge difference in your wallet. I outline some of the differences between these three models in the other two reviews - be sure to read them before making your final purchase decision.
Pictured above from left to right are the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Lens, Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens, Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens and Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens is a good low-light indoor photography lens - especially when a flash is not appropriate or desired. It works very well in a church or gym for example. Aside from having mediocre bokeh, the 50 f/1.8 makes a good focal length for full-body portraits. If mounted on a 1.6x FOVCF camera, you will need some extra space to accomplish a full-body portrait and might also want to capture head/shoulder portraits with this lens.
Need to travel light? Mount the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens on a small DSLR and you have one of the smallest, lightest and least expensive low-light combinations available.
The drawbacks of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens are easily overlooked when one looks at the price. This lens is not for everyone, but I don't know of a better lens available for twice this price.
