Ni Qian Hachi Nian (Year 2008)Super GT!!

2008-06-24T19:28:00.005+08:00

On the faithful day of 22nd June. I was able to attend the 1 in a year Super GT race. This is my 2nd time to get close to the race machines and the ever adorable and friendly Race Queens or the campaign girls as what the Japanese mostly call them. The year's race have seen improvements on the numbers of visitors either from foreign countries or locally. Arm with my Olympus, my quest to get the queens in my shoots was on as well as the race machines too. The weather was partly cloudy and partly sunny on the morning but it started to have some rain around 2~3pm but gladly god stop the rain. I was a bit tanned thought. The pit walk was the main event everyone was waiting for. Only those with pit pas was allow entry to the pit. This is where everything gets really interesting. You get to see the Race Queens up close. I manage to get goods shots of the RQs it was not an easy task as everybody is eager to get a view of the RQs. I have to squeeze in to the front just to get some nice shoots. It's worth every sweat because I want to bring the best pictures of the RQs to those who didn't make it to the race. I have too much photos to load here. If I load them all here, I think the server might explode. So please visit my Flickr site to view the full coverage of the race.

Things around my house and the faces of my kittens & rabbits

2008-05-07T22:09:00.006+08:00

This Morning , I had some time to take pictures of the things around my house. It's been a while that I have the time to take pictures. I took pictures of my mum's water plant, my rabbits and my kittens. To be honest, it's very hard to make animal post for you when you want their face capture. I tried so many shoots and only chose 1 as others are either off focus or blur due to their sudden movement. I have to keep calling them...Hahaha....I did some PS on the pictures too and they were simple ones but the result turn out to be quite nice to my surprise . This is Jack the White...

This is his younger brother, Sam the Grey

This is my kitten, Jojo. A playful girl.

My mum's plant just outside the corridor. After a morning rain.

My mum's water plant. The flower just blossom this morning. Very nice

Another shot of the plant, ther's Guppy fish inside the vase actually.

It's jack again. Sniffing something.

Jack has some very long & nice eye brows.

It's Jojo again. This time she's as stone as a statue.

This is Mojo, she is Jojo's younger sister.

This is Blacky, she a girl too.

This is Tipo, she is the eldest of her siblings.

All those company around the world that are involve in food industries be it packaging, frozen food, fresh food, cooking utensils..etc...etc. are all here. It's the biggest event in Asian. I was amazed and happy at the same time as I can taste so many kinds of food from different countries and was amazed by those chefs' cooking skills and those chocolates.....not to forget those nice ice creams....No professional photos here as I was on business . Hope you guys and girls enjoy the pictures and don't eat your monitor..OK? Hehehe

Patlabor....my childhood fantasy

2008-04-09T11:32:00.003+08:00

1st of all before I start posting. I wanted to apologize to Dixon san for not posting in here for quite sometime already. I was stretched to the limits recently with my job, customers, production....bla...bla....bla...so..
"Dixon san, sumimasen!" Watashiwa mune kinmu sobou tame hari ichidan! My jap damn lousy....

OK, now for my new post. I wanted to post my Patlabor action figure by Yamaguchi, it's commonly known as Revoltech. It's a new generation of action figure with a newly design ball joint system that allows the figures to have awesome articulation compare to conventional action figures. This has allow collectors to have more awesome posing of the figures. This Revoltech is very cool and the price is not expensive (below RM100). The details on the action figure itself is quite promising and with very little over paint. This is the best entry action figure for those who are into action figure collection.

I just got mine last 2 weeks. Didn't thought that I would fall into collecting action figures...Hahaha but It's worth every cent.

Star Drift: Seremban Round Pictures

2008-01-16T18:39:00.000+08:00

Last week, Drift.com.my organized a Star Drift event in Seremban. I was there to capture the drifting action. Drifting originated from Japan. The father of drifting is the very well known Keiichi Tsuchiya. He is the guy that made drifting so famous world wide. Did you know that the history of drifting dated back as far as 1977! Today drifting has evolved into a very competitive sport. They even have a formal competition known as D1 Gran Prix where top drivers compete against each other to see who has the best drifting techniques. A few famous D1 drivers would be Nomura Ken, Nobuteru Taniguchi, Kazuhiro Tanaka, Masao Suenaga, Kazama Takayuki, Yuichi Imamura, Takahiro Ueno, Nobushige Kumakubo ....etc...

New DSLR in the house.......

2008-01-04T19:48:00.001+08:00

New camera in the house,yo......Hehehehe. This is the Olympus E-510. Can consider is the new model from Olympus. It's function is much more than my Pentax but I'm not used to this new girl maybe it's still new to me. I think you guys and girls can surf the Olympus site to find more information about this DSLR. This camera is lighter than my Pentax and it's smaller. I some how felt weird when I hold it maybe my hand big? Hehehe.....Still playing around with it. Whole kit cost Rm3044 with 2 lens kit. One is 40~150MM lens, another is a 18~42MM lens. 2 battery packs and uses a CF card instead of SD card and this is not good as my personal favorite is using SD card. The lens size is 58MM so my previous 52MM filters can't be used on this girl.....sad thing...I need to get everything again....Not in love with it yet cause it's still a new girl to me....

Cookies from Japan~~~~

2008-01-04T19:33:00.000+08:00

Last week, I got a gift from 1 of my friend in Japan. Hehehe~~it was a boxes of cookies. They were nicely packed and I didn't intended to eat them but 1 box was open because my naughty little brother always very "wai sek" and stole my cookies...Hahaha but I'm not mad at him. I just kept these cookies until I feel like eating them...Hahaha. Nice packing right? The Henry Carpenter cookies are delicious and they are like the GUCCI of the biscuits world...Hahahaha~~Enjoy the pictures as I've did some editing job to it.

Macro shots...

2007-12-01T12:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a bit free during the night and nothing better to do so just grab my camera and snap only a few pictures. The shot that took me the longest time was the dripping water from the tap. Hehe...I have to take several shots to find only a few which is nice and satisfying. Then went on the shoot the peanuts. On the next morning, took a shot of a pot of flowers in font of my house. The last pictures were shot using 10x zoom lens but I can see the pictures got noise cause I forgot to lower my ISO setting...Gosh~how silly is me..enjoy the pictures. C&C welcomed.

My 1st DIY advertisement..Hehehe

2007-12-01T12:02:00.000+08:00

This is my 1st DIY advertisement. Its nothing special really the pictures weren't edited also. I just want to try something new and fresh. So I came up with this idea to remind people to save our natural resources before they are gone. What do you guys and girls think about it? I have 2 version here. 1 is with colour another 1 is black and white. Which 1 is better and gives a deeper impression. I have no knowledge or so about requirements of an advertisement and bla~~bla~~bla~~. Just trying out. Any comments and critics is welcome.

Sepang Drag Battle...Final Round

2007-11-14T19:00:00.001+08:00

Sepang Brag Battle, Final round was held on last week. I went there with my friends and it attracted a huge crowd to SIC. I've been missing on the scene for quite sometimes already so decided to visit it once more. The race has gotten much furious with more and more fast cars taking part in this competition. Not a lot of pictures were taken but it was a very enjoyable night with those Honda Vtecs screaming down the track and the sounds of waste gates and Blow Off Valves from these monsters. All these cars can clock an average of 9~11 secs on a 400M stretch. Enjoy the pictures.

Silly me (right), my girlfriend and her younger brother.

A BMW 5 series with a Japanese heart, RB26DETT. Wondering what engine it is? Its the Nissan Skyline GT-R's engine.

A very nicely done up Nissan Skyline GT-T. The younger siblings of the GT-R.

What monster engine is this? Its a Honda B-series engine with BOT (Bolt On Turbo).
This car is tuned by KSP Power, Sunway. Engine has been heavily modified. Just hear tis baby roar.

A replica of the WRC Subaru Impreza STi. Nice car...This baby has a 280hp on stock mode.

This is Vaz-Maz drag modified machine. It's built for the purpose of drag racing only. Not much information was known from this car. Its been very secretive.

Another very nicely painted and moded Honda EK. Its famous among racers be it track, Time Attacks or etc...this car has a B-Series B16B engine. 1.6 produces around 185hp at 8200RPM on stock standard. This baby can rev till 10,000RPM.

Another one here. Nice car...

Here's a Mitsubishi Evolution8 with Advan RG2 rims and Charge speed, Japan side fenders. Nice...

Another drag tuned purpose race car. See how the engine is mounted? It's mounted 45degress to the front. The engine is sitting on a custom made front chassis. Exhaust outlet is just beside the front bumper. Wicked~~

My love for you......

2007-11-04T19:18:00.000+08:00

Love is not something you gamble away.... Its something to treasure...

The beauty of photography

2007-10-24T10:38:00.000+08:00

I completed a 2 week photography course and here are some pictures of my assignments.There are so much more to learn even after this course!!! haha I love Canon 400D!!

Week 1: Each student were getting use to the different functions on their DSLRs. We started our first assignment with 7 basic rules in mind.

Fill the frame (Fully frame your subject to eliminating any distractions in your pictures)
Rule of thirds ( Imagine an imaginary tic-tac-toe grid on your picture. Two lines horizontal and two lines vertical. Those lines will intersect at 4 points. These points are called the "sweet spots". For some reason, our human eyes tend to draw us to the sweet spots while looking at a picture. So, keeping our "subject" at the sweet spots fulfill this rule.
Repetition ( Look out for repeatable objects -eg: a row of statutes. As all the patterns are similar, by using a low depth of field (Small number of Aperture) allows you to focus on one pattern (subject) while leaving the remaining patterns are out of focus.
Leading lines ( Lines that leads you to a particular subject- eg: edges of a bookshelf leading to bottle (subject)
Framing ( This rule helps us place the subject in reality eg: A beautiful tower is behind a nice arch. Instead of just taking a picture of the tower, we use the arch to frame the tower. This makes the person who is seeing the picture feels like he is there. Tower (subject)arch ( frame)
Depth ( Using a wide angle lens or a bigger aperture- small number )
Unity

For our assignments, we were given a maximum amount of pics to take and themes to shoot. No deleting were allowed and no reviewing them on our LCD screen. They were training us to think carefully before taking a picture.. haha.. which was really a good practice for us. Each day, all our pics wre critiqued and the best pictures were rewarded!

Example of our assignment given. There were so much to copy down, so we took pics of our assignments.. haha

Trying out macro shots. Try flipping your lens(kit lens works fine) the other way round, you can get macro shots with them. Move your lens toward the subject and away to get it in focus. It's actually my ring but it appears so much bigger in picture.. haha A very cool thing to play with.

Week 2: Different lighting for portraits, Female/Male postures for portraits, editing pics through picasa and adobe photoshop. That week was really fun.

This week, we were given real-life projects and datelines to hand in. Taking pics, renaming them, resizing them, editing them, upload them online and for one project we had to make a prayer card using the pics and handing them in. Twas really fun!!

Project: Coffee beans. Imagine we had to take pics for this coffee house for them to use in their advertising. I teamed up with another girl and ours were chosen!! We were suppose to get Starbucks' gift certificates but we didn't because Starbucks ran out of them. Sad... =( Still, we were glad ours were chosen.

Contrast Tweak

2007-10-02T15:09:00.000+08:00

Here is an example picture of high contrast setting. The DSLR camera does not actually have a setting. But here are some tuning for higher contrast.

~ ISO : ISO-800
~ Aperture : f/6.3
~ Shutter speed : 1/250sec (Exp)
~ Exposure : +1.0 step
~ Flash : N/A
~ Lighting : 7pm sunlight

Here is what came out of this tweak. No effects or editing had been done to these pictures. Just pure camera tweaks. Try it.... Enjoy!! ^^

The Links

2007-10-01T10:07:00.000+08:00

Here are some stuff I learned at the DSLR Crash Course. Ummm...... The are many links in your settings if you are learning how to use the manual mode (M). First is the brightness of your pictures. Okay, here are the links. Your brightness of your pictures depends on your shutter speed, aperture, exposure, white balance and ISO. Remember..... shutter speed let you get more sharper and clear images, also take note.... that they will make your pictures darker, depending on your speed, because the faster the shutter closes, less light will get in. You can set the shutter speed at 1/4000sec, but you will really need lots of light. Here are two pictures taken at shutter speed ( 1/100 ).

My Settings
~ Aperture : f/5.6
~ Shutter Speed : 1/100sec
~ Flash : N/A
~ ISO : ISO-100
~Lighting : 7am sun

Here is another picture taken with shutter speed ( 1/200 ). The higher the shutter speed.... The sharper and clearer your image will be. Watch out for the lighting and the ISO.

My Settings
~ Aperture : f/4.5
~ Shutter Speed : 1/200sec
~ Flash : Fired
~ ISO : ISO-100
~ Lighting : Warm Light

I only tested on ISO-100. If you have a great shutter speed, You can even stop water, a fly or a bees wings. Even a car. I will soon test on higher ISO and Shutter speed. If you have a shaky hand..... try higher shutter speed, it will reduce lots of blurness. You can even tune the shutter to let in just the right amount of light when your flash fire..... to give your picture a fine and even tone...^^ Hope you guys benefit from this, oh ya......faster shutter speed will even minimize the chances of a closed eye in your picture. Enjoy!! ^^

Model Shoot

2007-09-29T12:11:00.000+08:00

Recently, I just had my baby model shoot again. This time.... much better. Here are some pictures.

She is seriously getting better at posing for the camera.

The is one pose that she did herself...... Cute huh!!

Hmmmm....... she just climb on the sofa... and ask me to snap. I was about to leave at that time...

Night Sparkle.....

2007-09-26T19:48:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was Moon Cake festival!! Yeah!! Here are some pictures I took of the sparkles. For all these pictures, my preferred ISO is ISO800 and exposure from +0.3 to +0.7.

MoonCake Festival...A night of candles and lanterns

2007-09-26T17:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the Mooncake festival, is this the correct name ? I'm not sure too..Hahaha..well went to my girl friend's house and her mum was preparing some special dishes and colourful jelly to pray the moon. Although I'm a Christian but sometimes things about other religions really attracts my curiousity. Her mum put a table out in the car porch and starting decorating the table with home made jelly, fruits and some other stuff with I have no idea what they are called. It was a colourful night fill with the lights from the candles and the lantern. So I think its a good time to take some memorable pictures and some pictures that will make lantern such a nice thing to look at. I use the lowest ISO settings and different shutter speed for different pictures. Oh by the way, its best to use auto timer to take pictures during night if you don't have a tripod. Enjoy the pictures.

Colourful and delicious home made jellies,much better than those sold at shops.

My girl friend's little niece looking at the beautiful candles.

An army of candles. Don't worry they won't harm you..they are so nice.

A decoration my girl friend and his 2 brothers did but I dont know what it resembles..Hahaha

These lanterns reminds me of my childhood. Where the only lanterns we have is these paper lanterns...

Beautifully painted artwork on the lantern...

Memories....memories....

Crazy ISO

2007-09-25T00:34:00.000+08:00

Today while reading the manual...... and the internet..... I found out my camera has up to ISO3200. So i tried playing around with the ISO. Here are a few pictures in ISO 3200 and ISO 800. ISO 3200 makes even more noise...... seriously need a tripod for that, if you have shaky hands like me. LoL. Noise kinda high. The effects were more drastic with only the dim ligh and no tripod. ISO 3200 is no good with shaky hands and totally dim light, noise goes amazingly high. With ISO 3200, even night becomes morning!! LOL. Look behind the bottles, the window. Actually its 11.23pm at night.

Lighting : 1 dim warm light bulb and 1 florescent (the room was really dark, hope you can imagine)
ISO : 800 & 3200
Exp : 0.7
Flash : N/A

PS : I don't drink, my parents also don't drink. Nobody drinks... just for collection.... my dad's

This is with ISO 3200. Image not edited

This is with ISO 800. Not edited. Sorry shaky hands, no tripod

Magic...

2007-09-24T23:22:00.000+08:00

These 2 pictures was taken during my shower. Not joking. My bathroom's light gone crazy and was blinking like a disco light so I switch it off...My god, its was so dark. How do I take my shower ? I looked around my room and found this AA battery powered mini fountain.....Hehehehe...so I washed it and chuck in 2 AAs in it and fill it up with water and it worked. So I took it to the bathroom...Woh....it was so nice it made the toilet looked so funky with all its coloured light shining here and there. So I placed it at some high place so the light can shine the most and when i turn on the shower...Woh...it was so nice ..I really never knew that my shower water can be so nice...so I took my camera and adjust it to the lowest ISO and snap it....The result was not bad and its quite special...I accidentally wet my camera also....Hahaha..but its still ok... My mum was shocked though..seeing me taking a camera into the bathroom during shower....Hahaha....

A church member along with his family recently moved to Tebong (about 2 hrs from town) where they lived in an estate. A group of us went for his welcome house celebration and he gave us a lil tour around the estate. There were dragon fruit plantation, herbal tea and other plantation. Here are some flower shots.

This is a "buah noni"

Unusual flowers to common flowers. Now is where the real fun began.. =) They created a "Twister Turn" (as below).. a plank of wood with some rope, not forgetting a good, solid tree. haha These kids didn't need a roller coaster or a DNA mixer... just a simple thing like this to keep the kids occupied and glad

Like our grandparents' time... where things made out of scrap were TOYS!! those were the days... haha

Took Miuchan out for a test in Melaka today. The results are pretty impressive. The day was very hot, very very hot. I was greatly affected by intense sunlight, many pictures got flare in them. I seriously need a filter and a lens hood man!!

My classmate's wedding

2007-09-23T12:38:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my high school classmate wedding. So I took some pictures with my Handphone camera. No DSLR or a proper digital camera was with me. I my girl friend forgot to bring her camera.

This afternoon I tested macro shots with Miuchan. The close ups was amazing. Here are some pictures I took. Umm...... I used ISO 100, the lowest I can get. ^^

This is the lemon chicken I ate for my dinner!!

Miuchan's Story

2007-09-20T21:01:00.000+08:00

Today is just bought me Miuchan!! ^^This is how everything begun. I went to Sungai Wang wishing to get my Nikon D40x at RM 2500. But unfortunately, the price of the Nikon D40x went up to RM 2799. Disappointed, I went for a walk in Low Yat. Suddenly this duty free sign caught my attention. From a far, I saw baby Miuchan staring at me through the display cabinet at this shop. I could not help but to go and ask the price. She is sold for only RM 2250!! Woah!! Full Kit!! Thank God for that one little shop. This camera is fully dedicated to Him. I saw many Japanese in KL today, Many!!! So i decided to change my cams name from Midori to Miuchan. Here are the pictures. ^^ SuLi, I am sure you have seen this before!! ^^

Midori and her D40x, SuLi, I am sure you have seen this before!! ^^

Editing photo

2007-09-20T19:58:00.000+08:00

This is my model friend Carace (right) I took this pictures at night, during a fashion show at Seremban's Era Walk. As you all know when shooting at dark places its hard not to use the flash but the flash tends to make the face on the subject looks shiny. I dont like it and this is my 1st time..really my 1st time editing a person's face to rub off the shine. Its not easy, I tried a few times only succeed doing it. I think the end result is very nice and looks natural. I know that those flash that use by those pro photographer has a cover in front of the flash to make the flash more mild and not too bright. I'm using the standard flash unit on my camera. Anyone know how to get the pro effect ? Perhaps covering the flash with a piece of rice paper ?

Underwater Style

2007-09-19T20:16:00.001+08:00

Not to long ago..... ^^ For the first time I tried underwater photography. Not using my camera of course, and also not an DSLR cam, just very basic and normal one. Who wants to dive with few thousand dollars in their hands?? Keke!! We went to Pulau Redang for holiday and meet some freestyle divers and photographers there. We also learn freestyle diving, imagine in mid sea for 5 hours without life jacket, only mask and flippers..... tired man!! So we kinda had lots of fun. I also recently learn the art of feathering from SuYen!!! Thanks alot!! Here goes the pictures. ^^

Did some feathering here, thought by SuYen!!

One of the underwater thingys called Christmas tree ^^ Nice huh!!

One of our free diving kakis

This is me!! ^^

Nomura Ken's ER34 (Big Whale)

2007-09-18T19:11:00.000+08:00

I thought of posting some old pics I took. Here's the pictures of my beloved Aoshima Blitz D1 ER34 driven by the famous Nomura Ken. He's famous for his crazy and wacky drifting style and his funny characteristic never fail to impress the judges and his fans. He has his own line of performance parts developed by him together with Blitz and those products under his name is called "URAS" If you reversed the words, it becomes "SARU". It means Monkey in Japanese. He really has that monkey crazy characteristics but everyone loves him. The car is known as "Big Whale" among the judges due to its sheer size if compare to other D1 cars that took part. The long wheel base of the ER34 has made it easy to be drifted and the drift is easier to be controlled and it can initiate a very long drift without losing its momentum due to its weight. The car is powered by a souped up RB25 which pushes out a heathly 450~500hp. This car is fully tuned by Japan's renowed power house....Blitz.

Advice and rules for Extreme Photographers

2007-09-12T22:04:00.000+08:00

Recently asked a few extreme photographers for advice.

- If you are sitting on a car or van roof to take wedding pictures on the road, please constantly remind the driver that you are on top of the car.

- If you are trying to capture the night sky from your house rooftop, please get a non slippery and firm foundation to stand on before peering through your camera.

- If you are trying to get a motion shot of a car on the road, please watch out for oncoming cars or any obstacles before sticking your precious camera and your head out of the car.

- If you are sitting behind a open van trunk, please remind the driver not to speed, because its only a few feet away between human and hard ground.

- Please be considerate, during photography sessions with many other photographers, please do not shove any part of your body in front of other peoples lens. That would be very rude. He might risk having and extra hand or leg in his pictures.

- If you are posting pictures of people you know or don't know, its better to ask them permission before doing so. This will avoid future misunderstanding.

- If you are trying to get a nice shot, please do not push the photographer in front of you, say excuse me, that would be much better.

- If you are going for underwater shooting, please make sure you secure your waterproof casing and read the instructions before using it. If not, you will have few thousand dollars swimming in the water with you.

- One very important thing, If you are having a baby or a kid as your practice model, please do not flash right in front of their eyes. Their eyes can't take the flash yet. Bad for the eyes. no no...

- Please do not peer through your viewfinder and walk on the road or any pathway, you might risk tripping and having a build-in camera in your head. Look a head....

- Please do not bring your camera to an unknown place or isolated area, you might risk going home with only the strap.

- Lastly, please use your camera for good use, don't take pictures of people in bathrooms or any other private areas which are meant to be PRIVATE!!

~ Seriously....this rules and advice do help a lot in the future..... ~ Your life and fame worth more than a picture.......Think about it....

Greetings from my Japanese client.....

2007-09-11T18:54:00.000+08:00

1 of my Japanese client came to visit my factory for a week to discuss about future co-operation and about improvement in QC. Well what I did was, I as able to get Takayuki Hayase to write a greeting to us...Hehehe...though he left out the "time" word in his writing....I told him to write in Japanese so it would be special...Hahaha...He was kind enough to even present a few gifts to me. I was very happy he gave me some car brochures from Japan. I have to admit that their brochures are 100X cooler than ours. I will post pictures of the brochure once I've open up them...As you can see from the pictures the 1 on my left is Hayase san, on my right is Kondo san. Both are very friendly and nice friend. Hayase san is a fan of Harley Davidson. He joins a club call the CCM! as you can see the most top picture. That's their club T-shirt. He offered to give me but I refuse cause its his anyway...CCM! stands for Can Coffee Meeting. Where fans and owners of Harley Davidson would gather around to talk about Harley bikes while drinking can coffee.......cool....

World Cyber Championship I

2007-09-11T02:37:00.001+08:00

Just 2 days back, I had the opportunity to check out what the hype is all about with the World Cyber Championship held annually. I will post up some of the pictures and continue again with Part II. It was held in the MidValley Exhibition Hall... Leon, Nigel and I went on the Sunday only to realize we've missed a whole buncha exciting activities and in time for the closing ceremony. It was nonetheless an adventurous trip for me as it was my first time being to to a WCG.

Some cool things I saw:

Now that's a fun way to play games! Leon reckons he'll own one of this in future

Gamers during one of the mini competitions

Samsung as one of the main sponsors =)
They sponsored like a plethora of computers for the championship!

I really like this picture a lot

Nigel and that cool 'dude'

Believe me, they were so willing to pose!

I thought this dude suited really well in the costume *wink*

I guess they are characters from Lineage

There we met Nigel's friend, Andrew who was 1 of the many ppl to set up the whole hall for the WCG

A funny incident happened whilst I was taking pictures. This one photographer, Kelvin, representing Cosair during the event saw me with Asher strapped around my neck and approached me to tell me with his very VERY rotten ang-mo slang that he liked Asher... (believe me, he was just staging the whole ang-mo slang thg.... he was trying a little too hard, in my opinion). Anyways, he asked if I was representing an agency coz I was snapping away and all. Then he went on to talk and ask a little bit bout Asher and all la... tryna carry a conversation, asking about which college and course I'm taking la... this and that... (so irrelevant right to the event?). Then can tell me to stop by the booth to take pictures anytime of the game characters and what not la... pffft...
I
It didn't stop there, 1 of the guys I was taking pictures of stopped me halfway and gave me free ice-cream, a keychain and told me to email pictures over and get a mystery gift back in return.
Kinda cool i thought... Might just submit some pictures and see what is the gift.. =P prolly yet another 'cute' keychain...

And yet another dude with Lineage kept asking me to take pictures with the 3 elves... said something about being photogenic and what nonsense la.... then when I said I don't want, he said "well, can I use that as an excuse so I can snap some pictures with your camera because I like it?" .... I flatly told him, "neeeeh, that photographer there too has a cool camera"... kekeke... interesting....

"The Power of a Good Camera", was what Nigel said after I told him what happened... =P Twas a really fun experience!.... being exposed to WCG and all, that is...

Skyfire.........

2007-09-10T01:52:00.000+08:00

1:45am....shouldn't I be sleeping now ? Just came back from movies with my gf....was on my way back to my home when I suddenly think of going up a hill to take some skyline pictures. Its hard to take night pictures when you have zero lightning....the shutter opens quite long to let enough light to pass through the lenses....and I forgot my tripod...all pictures ended blurry and was FUBAR...then i thought of playing with the ISO instead. So the picture was taken and it look fine on the tiny display...but it was horrible when view on PC...the noise level was way over....the whole picture is screw....no choice but to use median filter to filter out the noise but...picture was not up to my satisfaction....What to do...newbie mah....sure screw up on 1st trial....Hahaha...The pictures was in RAW form initially but I changed them into JPEG and had them crop and resize.

The picture of this gorgeous looking white knight was taken at an outskirt just saw the backdrop was a nice place to take pictures. I love this the most..Dont ask me why...I just love it...the angle was right. I was crawling on the grass just to take this pic. I've did some minor touch up to the picture too.

My 1st time....

2007-09-08T11:41:00.000+08:00

This is my 1st time actually joining a blog...1st impression and feeling ? Weird...cause I never think that I would join a blog...hehe..Didn't meant to offend any bloggers. The reason why I don't join blogging site is because I really don't have much time to take care of it. I saw a lot of people have very nice blog and I just can stop wondering how did they keep their blog so updated, almost everyday ? Hmm......Well, hope I will be active in this blog and won't let it go sinking like a Titanic and abandoned after sometimes...

It must be the Nikkor Lens

2007-09-07T08:41:00.000+08:00

I finally managed to take this picture after 15 minutes trying to get a baby to sit still for my camera. I looked trough my viewfinder...... and I saw this baby running at my cam!! Even this baby is fascinated with the amazing Nikkor Lens and wants to get a hold of it.

This was when she didn't notice me

This was after she noticed me!! Nikkor Lens proofs to be hair raising. Amazing picture quality and precision!! Even a baby wants to get a hold of it!! Run!! She is coming!! ^^ She wants your Nikkor Lens!! Run!!

Day out with Asher

2007-09-06T16:23:00.000+08:00

I have been known to have a knack at naming my gadgets. Let's see, so there is my first BenQ cell-phone - Chad, Toshiba laptop, which I named 'Adrielle', Ipod Nano - Skye, Lumix digicam - Dominique, and my cello - Montague. So naturally when my parents gave me my D80 as an early-birthday-cum-christmas present in advance, it is only 'right' that I name my camera too. So for my first post here, I shall introduce to you my latest gadget...... *drumrolls please, somebody*.....
Asher!!! So take note, from this day forth, I shall use my D80's name like I would a persons.

Yeah, so on my first day out with Asher, we did quite a couple of things together. I shall post them pictures up. However, due to the lack of time to edit all pictures, I shall just post a few shots up first.
*ps: i just downloaded some cool effects off the net to be used in PS, sooooo, yeaps, my first time playing ard with them, so pardon the ickiness aite....

After my gym workout, sis and I went to Nigel's place where we meet up with both Nigel and Leon before heading off to Ikano for the day out. Once in Nigel's place, one cannot help but go ga-ga over the evah-adooooooh-ruh-ble pup belonging to his landlord.

He's teething, so at this point, he'll gladly chew on anything...

We chose the longer route to Ikano this time round because the first bus that came along our way was the one headed to Taman Jaya LRT Station. Once in the cab, that's where all the fun began. We took wayyyyy much more pictures on my sis' Rebel.... soooo, yeah.

shucks... this turned out blur in here... resized it a tad too small
=D

Sis and her Rebel....
*this didn't turn out too well in here too..was trying our the acid wash effects*

Got on a cab to Ikano from Kelana Jaya. Headed over to CineLeisure to buy tickets for Ratatouille (which was awesome) then walked about the flea market. Went over for lunch in O'Briens since everyone was looking for a healthy low-carb/fat meal! Again, Asher wasn't used much coz sis was happily snapping away with her Rebel. Have I mentioned that O'Briens rock?! Yeah, their sandwiches are awesome!

Sis' Chicken something TripleDeck
*note.. if you have not tried it, well, you SHOULD! super filling i tell you...*

Nibbles...

So yeah, after lunch, we went for movie and then hurried to do some shopping and headed on home coz sis a.k.a Yen needed to be home early... parents were taking her back to Melaka.. *sniff sniff* So, yea, here's just 2 more pictures.

My favorite shot for the day.. =)
At Taman Jaya LRT Station. We spent quite some time snapping away!

She considered it for a long time, finally she accepted and I requested that she would act natural around the camera, it was quite crowded that time in the hall I mean, I tried my best to photograph her.
