Lamps and Flowers

Some night shots taken in Boston @ Solaris, Mont Kiara during our coursemate gathering on 16 May 2009.

Kota Kinabalu Trip 22-26 April 2009

Still very exhausted from the trip.
Will write more about the trip over the weekend.


Group Photo






Taken at the KK Park while waiting for our group registration to be completed (filling in 33 names + details ain't easy!)


Take nothing but photographs, leaving nothing but footprints.
This is the "tag line" for KK park - you'll see this everywhere, even at Laban Rata.


Taken at Rose Cabin on the morning before we started the hike.

DCIM 2009 @ Midvalley - 28 March 2009

DCIM stands for Digital Camera.Imaging.Media.
It was a photography expo, while right next door to it there was a bridal fair.
Actually in conjunction with the expo, there was also a "Velocity Angel" search (some model competition) - which means... lots of Lengluis to shoot =P
But too bad all my shots turned out to be blur, cause I basically took the shots by holding my camera up high and just kept pressing the shutter non-stop (skill-less shots).

But luckily a few of the bridal gown shots can be salvaged...
Same "skill-less" shooting mode was used, it was by luck that I managed to get these...

Trying Out My New 50mm f1.8

Bought this new lens right before the official price hike of Canon products =P
So took some trial shots at home...

Muar - 7-9 March 2009

Some pictures taken at Jwee's jogging place along the Muar River.
The river itself was not a very interesting shooting object - but with some people doing their routing activities such as fishing, I was lucky to get at least a few interesting shots.





P/S: perhaps by now you would have realized that I went to Putrajaya, Melaka and Muar within a weekend =P That's why I took me to so long to process the pictures.

Melaka - 8th March 2009

Went to Melaka with Jwee's siblings - it was half an hour drive from Muar.

To me, Melaka = historical town. That is why most of the pictures are post-processed with traces of "nostalgia".













Some cute stuff that I found in the food court =)
(I did not edit these pictures - they are original shots taken from a food court wall!)

Brocolli!


And the Shin Chan Potato =)

Paya Indah Wetland - 7th March 2009

It was a photography outing cum picnic with Chia and Andy's family.
The park was very quiet, in fact most of the infrastructures are not fully operational.
Nevertheless we had a chance to get up-close and personal with...

...Hyppo...


...Water Duck...


...Goose...


And last but not least... our Model of the Day...

Hao Lun's Birthday Party

Some shots taken using 50mm F1.8 =)
Still learning how to use it...





Some pictures taken during Hao Lun's birthday party...

Finally Here! - My Canon 400D

My new camera is finally here =)

Took some shots when I got home... its a really complicated machine to operate...

A more serious shot...



Some fun shots - exploring the relationship between aperture-shutter speed-exposure





Update - 11 Feb 2009


This one is by Garfield...

Expensive Hobby

No more turning back... Cause I have started my (probably) endless "investment" in photography after I bought the EF-S 18-200mm lense on Xmas day... Most of the people's jaw dropped when they heard that I bought a lense before I actually have a camera... hahahaha....

*Garfield is still in "shock"... hasn't quite really accepted the fact that I'm pouring so much money in this....*

Procured:
1. Canon 400D - bought at USD 315 (RM 1100)
2. Hoya Pro1 Digital UV Filter (for my beloved lense....) - bought at RM 140
3. Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS lens
4. DIY Dry Box
5. Camera Bag

Shopping list:
1. Tripod - maybe RM 300
2. 50mm f/1.8
3. Remote control
4. ......... (to be continued)........

Guess that's all I need for now (at least for 1st 2 years...)

*YJ: still there? or pengsan ady? hahahaha.....*
