Greener younger and dying old...

2010-11-19T01:28:00.001+08:00

Some old photos. I was experimenting with my el-cheapo 50mm f/1.8 lens. The blur was 'naturally' rendered awesomely by the lens. I just love the bokeh!

What I Did Last Week-end!

2010-11-02T15:02:00.000+08:00

yeah..im back to my dormant mode. the internet connection made me so lazy to upload something to this blog.

last week i went to GMB (Giving My Best)- Resurrection concert in Kota Kinabalu. so i made some shot. the lighting is poor (typical concert) but still manage to get something. thanks to the fast lens.

im using my Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 most of the time. yeah, i heard lot of people complain that the AF is slow and yes, it is SLOW!. BUT, this only happen when the lighting start to fall. im struggling to get a good shoot. aside from being sluggish AF, the lens just superb.

check-out the photos! :p

A Day at Paddy Field

2010-09-04T03:08:00.000+08:00

i kinda bored for the whole day. so decide to take a walk to my grandpa's paddy field. as always, i made few shots!

this is my grandpa's elder brother, grandpa Baru and his wife, grandma Sara. they're somewhere 70-80 years old. i'm a bit sad seeing them, at their age, still doing this work. they do have kids & grandkids (even great-grandkids!!), with good work, who should take care of these two. :(

thou just a plain shot, i hdr-ed it. i love the colors combination, from the blue sky, dark green forest, brownish soil/mud, the hut, etcs.

im experimenting with the photoshop cs5. originally, this is a dead tree. i tried some filters & it turn out into great artistic-ish photo (kinda disco light colors!!) :p im suck at photoshop!!!! seriously!!

Fall For You

2010-08-07T10:20:00.006+08:00

haha well my title has nothing to do with my post. i just cant find any title. thats the only word came out of my mind.

it's been a while. my blog is constantly sleeping LOL!! this due to poor internet connection. i have to depend on celcom broadband which kinda sucks!! yes, celcom is the the best in term of signal coverage & specially for kampong people that's more than good, but quality-wise, it still super-sucks!

although i managed to upload some photos to my flickr. still, extremely time consuming process!!

finally i have back strength to lug my camera around for some so-called nature photography. it just around my house & i guess for the enthusiastic photographer, that could be a golden photoppurtunity. i managed to do some shoot few days ago. these are they:

Theme: How bokeh is your lens? (LOL!!)
Tools: Nikon D300, Velbon tripod, Photoshop CS5 (mainly for contrast & watermark)

Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 1/160s f2.8 145mm ISO160

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 1/250s f4.0 50mm ISO160
**the sharpest of all! no editing, except for the watermark!

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 1/640s f1.8 50mm ISO160
**do you notice the bokeh pattern?

Kundasang.

2010-05-11T02:10:00.002+08:00

last week, i went there for a pre-wedding photoshoot. it's not a sunny day, the morning start with rain thou. to be exact, 10 minutes before we start shooting. the cloudy weather almost ruined the photoshoot. but the sweet couples is very sporting. it is very easy to work with them. i made some side shot. just a fun shot to share haha unfortunately, the couples shot i havent uploaded yet. check out my Pixwerk website for their photo soon.

this is the Kundasang War Memorial. i HDR-ed it.

this is just a teaser hahaha fun shot thou. nothing much inside the bag to brag

do you know?

2010-04-29T00:11:00.003+08:00

sorry, this post has nothing to do with the title hahaha

i've been spending the most quality time of my life lately haha just by doing nothing, facebooking, taking photo (nature, but im suck at it), watching slam dunk (i know its old, but still, im laughing my ass out of it!!), replying some weird email (cant help it, its coming on my blackberry!!) so on....

i am so amaze with my computer system right now..with two 19" lcd (yeah, i know, it just 19", not 21") its amazing..anyway, i just knew that doing cs4 editing on two lcd is super-great..with last year overhaul, the system runs more efficient & fast..

its raining here, but i love it!! hahaha

phew, i just love my home..its great to be back home!

iPhone 3GS or Nokia E72 or Blackberry

2010-04-26T02:26:00.006+08:00

as the title goes, this some questions people asked me when it come to buy a mobile device.

personally, again, personally, it's up to your need, budget & preference with some knowledge of the functionality & usage.

why im saying that? once, im a spoilt rich boy (not so rich but i can afford something, while some other kids have tie their belly to save some money). not to mention my youngest brother (in year 2007, he is form 5 & he's using dopod 838pro to school). all my dad's money. and now, while using blackberry onyx (bold 2), he's already mumbling about google nexus & motorola milestone!!!

to list all the devices that i've been use might bleed your nose. to make it short, what im trying to tell is that i have the so-called 'experience' in using most of up-to-date gadgets.

iPhone: seriously this is a fun phone it has a lot of games, applications (it has the things that measures the balance of your picture frame hanging on the wall) some other stuff. it is very fun phone to use. it keeps you entertain. either you play games, watch video & listen to mp3. even you might forgot that is a phone. anyway, my younger brother use this phone, before switch to bold 2 onyx!! thats why i know about iphone hahahaha

blackberry: while this device is a serious messaging phone. you name it. email, ym, im, bbm etcs. you can have this feature on iPhone but blackberry is designed to handle this job. you have 10 emails account? oh dear, you're gonna have a sore thumb for replying emails!! most messaging work in real time. which like doing ym on your computer. thanks to its BIS (blackberry internet service). something i like about blackberry is the emails!! people sending sms, where, you're gonna pay-per-sms. while sending email from blackberry devices (like typing sms) is more cheaper!! no matter how long is the messages, how many emails, it still charged under 1 rate!! so which one you prefer, pay-per-sms?? or pay-one-amount, send email like hell?? and do you know that message from blackberry to blackberry is free via bbm???

nokia e72: this is all-rounder phone. it can do almost everything blackberry & iphone offered but in limited ways..i forgot, it has video call function!!! which dont have on blackberry & iphone. it run on symbian platform, soooo many application available on the net.

finally, one thing that bear in mind, this gadget, especially iphone & nokia e72, only works with DATA subscriptions plan!! without data, it only works as normal phone. remember, subscribe unlimited or quota data plan. blackberry already has it's BIS (BIS is the unlimited data plan for blackberry)

no matter what phone you choose, remember, you must have data plan, its either not working properly or you'll be charged thousand ringgit for the data usage.

so, in the end, it will come back to you. you choose according to your need. always do research before buying. you have google, so use it. do research.

im now using blackberry. why? i like receiving emails on my device, ym & facebooking on the go. yes i can do that on iphone & nokia, but on blackberry, it is more practical. i also bbm to my family for free..yes, we're siblings using blackberry hahaha

again, this is just my personal opinion based on my personal experience on using these gadgets. i have nothing against the brand. it's solely my personal opinion.

it's your money, so go crazy..buy..buy..buy..!!

teaser: i have used all blackberry model. start from 8xxx series, gemini, jave, storm 1&2, bold 1&2!! but im sticking to bold 1 for it's size!!

2010

2010-04-26T01:57:00.004+08:00

its been a while i didn't update this humble blog. i guess this the first post for 2010.

2010 started great for me. in january i tendered my 2.5 years tenure with skrine. i made decision to return to my homeland sabah. honestly, i haven't got any job yet err till now hahaha for the time being, i just want to rest, that all. to live in big city for 10 years has worn out my 'head'. like they said, the body feels young but the mind is very old.

for now, im doing things that i've been 'crave' for long time. some serious photography, some cooking (yes, cooking!!) and do nothing.

yes, im doing some serious photography, mainly weddings. it still hobby but in the sense of making money hahaha i got lots of inquiries, offers & jobs after i resigned. i thanked GOD for that. even though im jobless right now, but still, i have some income to cover all the bills.

check-out my side links. some of my serious work. sorry, i didn't put any of my work in facebook.

aside from the resignation, few stuff happened this year:

2. i stop buying camera stuff (waiting for d3 to drop it price, until the level where even a janitor can afford one)
3. i have all fast lens in my bag (but 3rd party la, cant afford nikkor glass)
4. i'm a blackberry user!! funny tho, i troubleshoot blackberry since 2007 but never thought of using one until this year..hey, add me..this is my pin: 215E8704
5. my dad attacked by stroke. thank GOD he survived it.

i guess that's the few highlights haha

So How Is It?

2009-12-08T15:20:00.003+08:00

well after few weeks using the new tripod, i guess im satified with it. except for the head (pan-head), i dont like it at all. i prefer the ball-head type.

i would say its a good buy. i did made a side by side comparison with manfrotto 190xprob, i'd say this velbon more sturdy & solid. i might be due to its aluminium tube construction which more 'big' in diameter.

the height also one of the advantages. the manfrotto short in few cm, even you extend the centre column.

the only dissapoiment is the non-standard 'head screw'. i have old manfrotto ball-head which i tried to fit to the velbon, but it cant. the velbon 'head screw' is small. after doing some googling, i found that only few 3-rd party can fit the velbon. alternatively, buy velbon ball-head, which quite expensive. so for the time being, i have to stick with the pan-head arghh

anyway, there's nothing wrong with the pan-head, it just me. im used to ball-head type hahaha

overall, im satisfied with the velbon. i recommend you to buy it as well. pricewise, at rm330, its a good buy. build quality is superb. seriously!!

New Stuff ;p

2009-12-01T14:47:00.003+08:00

as i said last week, i've been hunting for bags, but unfortunately i might to 'k.i.v' my bag.

funny things, i bought a new tripod. after few years using manfrotto, i gave it away to azmil, and now im settled with velbon, although i dont like the head (its pan-head type), which i prefer the ball-head type. here's few photo of it hehehe

BAG HUNTING

2009-11-23T14:33:00.002+08:00

im on the hunt for a new bag, again!!!

Lost Word

2009-11-18T18:48:00.004+08:00

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is LOVE.

**yes, im back hahaha

PSU

2009-08-09T10:31:00.003+08:00

happy sunday all!! i missed church again (and im not proud of it!!). i stayed up till 5am & i overslept. why, because of my pc!!

i've been using my pc for almost 2 years. most of the parts is getting rusty & dusty. yesterday, i am planning to replace the main casing (housing), & CPU fan. i do some major cleanup, get rid of the dusty parts, its a complete overhaul.

after dismantling every 'living' parts of pc from the old casing, i transfer it into new casing bit-by-bit. just want to make it neat & tide up. so till, roughly 98% of the process, i plug in the power cord, i press the power button & walla!! its ON..till a message appear, '..no bootable device..' damn, what the heck!!

i was thinking it was my HDD, then i notice my CDROM is not working as well!! i start to cursing myself, what went wrong? i dismantle everything & reinstall all the peripherals, cards, ram & re-plug the power. again, no bootable device error!!

so, my last resort is gather it back to its old configuration & the result, its ON, i can boot to windows!! so i started to think that is caused by the PSU (power supply unit). since the new CPU fan is big (additional 3 BIG ventilation fan), it draw huge amount of power from the PSU compare to old CPU fan. hence, there is not enough power to supply for HDD & CDROM.

damn, i never thought of that. i thought the current 500W PSU can handle the system, but what i didnt realized is the power efficiency. the rating power maybe high, but efficiency maybe not the same as the rating. so today my mission is hunting for cheap but high rated power with good efficiency distribution. sigh..

anyway, ever wonder what my system is :

3.40GHz Processor

4GB DDR2 RAM

512MB GPU

1TB HDD

once im done, i'll post some picture of my system!!

July 30

2009-07-30T14:03:00.003+08:00

today i feel quite bad. i didn't know that yesterday is my friend last day with the firm. although we're not that close (he's a lawyer). but there a few events that we were in together, in a team, especially football.

feel bad coz i didn't know the day (his last day) but luckily today i bump into him at the lobby. he came back to settle some stuff. we went for a drink. just lepak for a while. i must agree with him. by judging from the way he work these few years, quite stressed out. but well, he got a good job thou, with a good position at his new place. wish him all the best at his new workplace.

anyway, i shoot the moon yesterday. kinda high, after bashing 1 dozen donut with 1 venti size ice blended. i mount the 400mm & place it on tripod, using timer (my remote cable still with wong bah-kut-teh!!!) this is what i got. some minor PP. not sharp thou, using old-skool lens.

Return..

2009-07-29T18:44:00.003+08:00

Its been quite sometimes i didnt update this humble blog. Busy with work, part-time work & some personal stuff.

thank GOD for blessing me with lot of things. I missed Sunday.

workload slowly to ease.

Im still 'learning' Facebook hahaha

recently i installed Safari browser to my pc. I like the interface, performance also quite good. I would recommend you guys to try it. But, please change the default homepage to whatever you want.

i've re-flash my Toshiba ROM from WM6.0 to 6.5 then back to 6.1!!! WM6.5 is good but performance is bad. Battery drain faster, that's the reason i ended with WM6.1.

and now, i have to finish 2 album to edit. i guess i can finish it before Sunday. so monday i can send for printing.

i hope this is the beginning for me to update this blog.hahaha sorry, im kinda bored right now, so my english is quite suck hahaha

Trips..

2009-06-18T18:58:00.003+08:00

I was away for quite sometimes. Lots of office work. I did go back Sabah from 29/05-09/06. It’s been a great holiday. Went to many places all the way from Lawas (Sarawak) to Kundasang.

I can say that June is month of wedding. There’s a long list of wedding invitation that I received but didn’t managed to attend all.

Well, few pictures to share. Some already shared at Facebook.

The Flu..

2009-04-13T23:53:00.003+08:00

i was down again with flu. this is sucks!!! its been twice in a month. i guess it is because of the environment. especially the server room. the air never changed in many years. imagine how many people in and out of it. the virus nested in there. was spending my time inside for one hour, then, that's it, i've got the flu in me.

Was It..

2009-03-22T00:26:00.001+08:00

im out of word..just tired..

Influenza..

2009-03-20T12:37:00.003+08:00

im back today. my flu was terrible. power failure again, server down and the boss jumping up & down..sigh..they cant live without email.

well, exchange didnt go down, except active directory & proxy down, so there no point turn on your computer haha email wont go thru..

we've been called by the IT big boss..some sort of meeting in regards the power failure incident..bla bla bla its ended 30 minutes later. pity my bis boss, the other bosses keep pressure on him, he had no choice to called-up the meeting & gave us some food for thoughts...hehe

yeah, tomorrow saturday!!!! what a relief.............

this shot taken a bit late, around 7++pm..well, as always, heavy PS & NX involved hehehe

Life's

2009-03-18T09:10:00.008+08:00

im quite stress these few days. well, the work load la. i dont know how long this gonna take. its not that my job is so waa-so-good-arr job, but still stressfull.

anyway, i shot this yesterday. from the 17th flr. of my house. it was 6:30pm (KL/Selangor time zone) i've seen this sky for quite some times but i dont have the intention to shot it. but yesterday, once i opened my window, the sky was so beautiful (after rain kan) i grab my camera without hesitation and shot this. of course, a heavy dose of Photoshop and i did use the Capture NX to enhance the sky (very good!!). if you look carefully, its fill with noise hahaha over process la.

p/s:
since i got the d300 long ago, i never use Live View hehehe but still, its good to hv it built-in. (still in love with d80!!!)

Purple Rain..

2009-03-12T17:49:00.002+08:00

Infinity.

2009-02-09T04:13:00.004+08:00

the more i love you, the more i get hurts. this silence wont take us anywhere but sometimes silence just the best until the time is right.

talk. just talk when we're ready to get hurt with our own self-defence explanation.

talk is all about solution. be ready to accept the solution because if you're not, we're gonna back to where we were before, silence!!

what the heck......!!!!

I Am..

2009-02-06T02:52:00.002+08:00

i am...

lately i've slow down my photo activity. this is due to numbers of picture still pending for editing. i have to finish it all first. i've sold few camera stuff and bought some non-camera related stuff.

something is wrong with me. im still in holiday mood. after christmas, then chinese new year and few optional public holiday. sometimes i feel 'lost'. my body is doing the work but my mind was somewhere else.

i have few argument with 'someone' havent spoken for two weeks already..sigh..

but..i love few toys that i bought. thou i didnt see the rational of the purchase, just for the sake of enjoying-having-it-around, but i like it. i've bought a pdaphone recently, a gps receiver, handphone, and ermm thats all.

oh ya, actually, i just placed the order for the gps receiver yesterday afternoon, expecting it arrive today hahahahahaha ermm what is that for? seriously, i hv no idea.

hmmmmm

Monday!!

2008-12-01T23:33:00.005+08:00

Monday..yeah, few people dont like monday (some for those are working) , some are like jumping happily on monday (ermmmm)

Today, 01 Dec 2008, i clocked my card 08:30am, swipe my door access card, walk toward my lovely desk (full of dead notebook hardisk), take off my bag, sit down, press my pc's 'on' button, entering my username (moreo), password (abc123) and walla!!! i officially start my monday.

Next, i clicked on my ms outlook icon, windows appear and after a while, strange, no incoming mail, then i noticed smthing, 'Trying to connect to Exchange...' and after that, 'Disconnected' appeared on my ms outlook notification bar. What the..!!!!!

Then, my colleague informed, 'bro, we have a situation, few switches are down.' ooo no, what the...i knew my monday gonna be suck. so immediately i cut a CAT-5e cable, fix the RJ-45 head and connect to main working switch, im back online.

But, that's not the end;

09:30am - 12th flr. users cant connect to their main server, after struggle few few minutes, things back to normal (for 12th flr.)
10:15am - 10th flr + 8th flr start making 'noise' and...........................................................
03:30pm - most problem sorted out.
04:00++ - some users got problem logging in to domain
05:30pm - packing my stuff
05:45pm - shutting down my pc
06:00pm - my work for today officially done
06:30pm - driving back home

so that's how my monday is. since the first i took off my ass from my chair, i spend most my time in server room, with my ass on the cold floor..

some people say monday is sucks la, this la, that la, well, it's up to you. but seriously, today's extremely sucks!!!!

im so tired today. tomorrow dont know what gonna expect..like my big boss say's, no matter what you fell today, wake up, get up & show up (boss, is that the line??) hihihi

-well, i've fully utillising my bandwidth today hahaha-

Review - Phototalk by Zainal Abdul Halim & Bazuki Mohammad (REUTERS)

2008-04-29T07:53:00.002+08:00

Its a good phototalk indeed. Both speakers, Zainal Abdul Halim & Bazuki Mohammad did well in their presentation. They've been working for news agency Reuters (now known as Thompson Reuters) as a photographer for quite some time. And they are the ONLY 2 photographer for Malaysia. yes, TWO(2). According to them, it should be only one photographer, but due to some adjustment, Malaysian's Reuters photographer is now 2 person. Only 2. No more.

Basically its not into technical stuff (aperture, shutter or Photoshop bla bla..), but its more 'how to...' stuff, by sharing their field work experience, real life experience..They show their photo-work, how to capture the moment in their fast-paced environment and yes, they did show their gear. Mainly they use Canon EOS system, paired with huge white L lens series, 300mm, 400mm hmmm thats heavy!!! Showing their work to Middle East country, Asian country. There's a moment that really touched everyone. Its was the image of remembering tsunami. Sometime its not the technicality of the image that matters. Its the moment with the right action (i think..)

There also a lot of 'makan' session hahaha congratulation to the event organiser, Syahrin Aziz & Pixel Unlimited. Personally for me, its a successful event. Wish there'll be more party to organize this kind of event in future. Its good not only for serious pro photographer but for enthusiast or hobbyist or just for the sake of your knowledge. Even there's an uncle that day using a new-released Pentax K20D!!! He told me that he's just a photo enthusiast and a collector!!!

Well, thats my review hahahaha.. Looking forward for other phototalk..heheheheh

Phototalk by Zainal Abdul Halim & Bazuki Mohammad (REUTERS)

So do not miss this in-expenses opportunity to meet them up personally during this talk. There will also be a brief photo talk by the local news photographer from The Star, Bernama and Utusan.Zainal Abd Halim a self-taught photographer with vast experience who achieved success purely by learning on his own through trial and error. After years of hard work, his photos are now published by various newspaper and magazines worldwide. He had been assigned to cover Afghanistan war and Olympics for Reuters. Zainal will be sharing and presenting on the topic of ‘Photojournalism’.Bazuki Muhammad a well known photographer for his creative angle and composition.
