Recommendation of Nikon system for Nature Photography

Nature adlh bahagian fotografi yg plg sy minat jauh sblm sy mula mmiliki SLR..
nature fotografi xmmerlukan anda utk mmiliki model yg kenjit, xmmerlukan lighting n sentuhan kedaifoto blebihan..

dlm nature fotografi, ktangkasan adlh kunci kejayaan, pminat nature fotografi biasanya mhabiskn byk masa d hutan mcari subjek bbanding duduk depan komputer mengedit gmbr dgn harapan gmbrnya akan berubah mjadi cantik utk d war2kn dlm fotopage n mukabuku

tp yg paling mbezakn nature fotografi adlh bgaimana pmilihan equipment utk bfungsi sbg satu sistem..jd sistem apakh yg plg sesuai utk anda?

jawapannya adlh bgantung pd kperluan n cara anda mngambil gmbr, jd sistem yg sesuai utk anda mgkn bbeza dgn sistem yg sesuai utk sy.. tp d sebabkn sy dh penat tulis post ni anda dimohon utk mbaca sehingga tamat..

sistem yg sy cadangkn di bawah adlh bdasarkn pngalaman sy mjadi apai foto (sy tulis dlm BI sb sy bujat)

(note: the heavier your system, the less use full it is as a system)

1. wide clouse-up & macro: D60 series + Nikkor 18-55mm + macro conversion lens + flash sync cord SC-28 + SB400 + RM 0.03 paper diffuser

2. general hiking: D90 + 18-200mm VRll + SB400/SB600 (but havier) + cheap poster diffuser + good cheap tripod @ expensive super heavy tripod such as manfrotto (bring some koyok for your shoulder & knees)

3. night walking: D60/D90 + macro 105mm + SB600 (attached directly on hot shoe)
(for better lighting, carry 2 set of SB-600 under slave mode and have one assistance to help on lighting; note: please cia makan your assistant at  Singgah Lok)

4. PERHILITAN-style & my self-made studio box: D60 + 18-55mm + flash sync cord SC-28 + SB400/SB600 @ D90 + 2 SB600 + cheap poster diffuser (micro 60mm can also be consider for PERHILITAN-style studio)

5. Bird watching: D60/D90/D300s + 70-300mm VR @ 55-200mm VR + monopod + SB600/SB900 or use expensive heavy fast tele-photo(eg: f2.8 80-200mm & 70-200mm VR + super heavy sturdy tripod) note: I prefer slow 55-200mm VR than buying koyok

Remember:
-the lightest system is usually the best.. Don't ever bring big fat tele lens if you walking on trail, just used at open place like Borneo Highland or Kubah National Park or Bako HQ. for Gading National Park, just bring D60 and 18-55 (tele lens almost not needed, 105mm VR good for night use & macro)
- go Bako for most wild-life, Kubah best for its frog pond during night time & good waterfall, Borneo highland for Bird watching & golf (if you know better place also can comment here for sharing)
-go to Zoo if only your shoulder & knees injured after bringing heavy expensive equipment and koyok patch still doesn't heal
- monopod is very very useful to hold your flash up-high for pseudo-natural lighting
-D60 series equiv: D5000, D3000, (good old D40/D40x)


AWAS: mbawa masuk sistem yg xsesuai k dlm hutan blh mnyebabkn anda ditertawakan oleh macaque n sus barbatus
