This is the 21st centuary, its the Cam- Era!
Just some fun facts i've been learning these few days, about cameras haha. Bored at shop now so here am i typing.
Experimental Control
Camera Body : Nikon D200 ( yeah i wish i have a D90 to test. Or maybe D3x...mmhhhmm )
Lens : Nikon AF-S 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 VR lens
Zoom : 135x
Focus : (Auto)
ShutterSpeed : 1/20 s
Apeture : f/10
ISO : 800
WhiteBalance : (Auto)
Brightness : +/- 2.0
1) First picture you'll see at the bottom is the control of the experiment.
2) First focus on the bottom-right of the calculator
3) Second focus on top-left corner of the calculator
4) Third focus on the Kingston Memory Card at the background ( with central still set at the word 'Casio' and manually overwriting focus)
5) Fourth focus on the white box ( same manual focus, and not using focus-lock. Seriously, whats the diffrence? HAHA )
6) Same as the control-experiment, with ISO of H1.0 now.
7) Same as the control-experiment, with ShutterSpeed of 1''
8) Same as the control-experiment, with Aperture of f/5.3
9) Same as the control-experiment, with Aperture of f/36
10) Same as the control-experiment, with 5000Kelvin white balance
11) Same as the control-experiment, with brightness +/- of 0.0
Conclusion:
- High ISO, brighter picture, however appears a lot more "grainy"
- Slow ShutterSpeed, brighter picture, tends to be blurer (unless with support of tripod and maybe a wireless remote / MirrorUp setting)
- Low Aperture, brighter
- High Aperture, darker
- WhiteBalance ( 5000kelvin ), no idea what the fuck is that LOL. Saturation of colour only maybe...like tungsten or whatever shit.
- Brightness +/- 0.0 Simple, just darker.
(Pls enlarge for better clarity. You see almost no diff from these small ones )

Ok, so i did manage to upload a lot of pictures on me learning on camera skills, but everything ruined because Windows Live Space has very bad user interface. Who would have imagined uploading pictures in the same album will overwrite the rest. WTF!
Just because they happen to have the same file name and windows live space didnt prompt me at all! FUCK! NEVERMIND! Anyways as of 21st January, i took somemore pictures.

Experimental Control
Camera Body : Nikon D2Hs
Lens : Nikon AF 50mm f/1.4D
Zoom : N.A.
Focus : Auto/Manual ( because actually i adjusted the ball head and i just couldnt stand adjusting the tripod ball head for another few millimeters so i did a little manual focusing instead )
ShutterSpeed : N.A. ( mode was set to Aperture-Priority )
Apeture : f/2.5
ISO : 200
WhiteBalance : 5000Kelvin
Brightness : N.A. (because i forgot to note down HAHAH )
1) First picture is the experiment-control ( Edit 17th feb 09, 0100h : yes the first picture just got replaced AGAIN due to the same file name. Sigh~)
2) Same as experiment-control, except with an aperture of f/8
3) Same as experiment-control, except with an aperture of f/16
4) Same as experiment-control, except with WhiteBalance (WB) of Incadescent
5) Same as experiment-control, except with WB of Fluoroscent
6) Same as experiment-control, except with WB of Direct Sunlight
7) Same as experiment-control, except with WB of Cloudy
8) Same as experiment-control, except with WB of Shade
9) Same as experiment-control, except with Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye f/2.8 lens! ( tell me that len's awesome! )
Conslusion:
- Low aperture will have the foreground sharper, and background blur
- High aperture will have the foreground blur, and background sharper.

Thats all for today. Tommorrow or day after tomorrow i shall experiment with the following combinations
1) DX lens with DX body
2) DX lens with FX ( full-frame ) Body
3) FX lens with DX body
4) FX lens with FX Body
and see how true is the myth that option 1,2,3 will have increase in 1.5times of zoom but huge reduction in wide-angle and resolution. Hope i can get a hand on one of the good wide-angle lens. Designing an experiment-control would be hard and tricky also, gotta browse all the available options first.
SEE YA GUYS!
