   Been ages since I last post something here.. Been extremely busy with work lately. Think I would need to explain it on my work blog :) But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t took time off to go around taking photographs :) I weight in myself the other day, and confirm I have dropped from 95kg down to 92kg. Lol, talk about losing weight while taking photographs. I guess it could be from all that walking and also the sun which pretty much made me sweat a lot. So it’s all good :) Anyway, this was taken from another flower album :P (more…)

    This album was taken yesterday morning, as I pretty much had a better time in shooting pictures. Went out about 7.45am and started to look for things to shoot. Anyway, from the overall pictures that I’ve been taking for the past few days. I’m more focused on objects, flowers or insects. But never people. Can someone please give me the guts to shoot people. Lol, I’m running out of ideas. Lol.
    Anyway, while I was heading back to the shot. I’ve caught these two love birds apparently having their usual morning walk. These couple actually operates their shop a few blocks away from ours. I did take a front picture of them, but then I apparently just had to do aim somewhere else first to prevent any suspicion. This is my favorite shot for the day. Do visit my 2008-06-06 : Thank God It’s Friday album for more interesting shots. (more…)

Thursday Catch!

    Ok. Apparently today I was slightly fortunate because I had a spare battery my battery grip ran out. Lol. Next time I’ll prolly be more careful before going out again. Hehe. Ok, so I got up about 7am, and took 15 mins to get ready for my first attempt on my morning walk. So I went out, and apparently the sun was already up and pretty much very hot already. So I started to move around and see what interesting pictures I can capture today. So instead of making a right turn heading to town, I went to the opposite side which eventually brought me to the wet market. During my journey there, I did stop a while and took a few more pictures here and there. But never really thought of heading to the market.

    Upon arriving the market, the fish was actually my first subject before taking pictures of this woman here slicing and dicing the fish. Hehe. Apparently she was camera shy, and but of course. Have to act as if she’s really working hard before the owner actually came up to me and asked me what was I doing. So I just told him that I’m just taking pictures for fun, and who knows if there’s any competition I’ll just submit these pictures. Then he went on saying that, if you want to win competition one should not always take pictures of beautiful scenery but rather the dirty part of town. He even jokingly said that the Chief Minister as well as the Prime Minister will pay me heaps of money for these sort of pictures, so that I won’t even consider posting them. And told me it’s another method of “covering up”. Anyway, after conversing with him a few more mins I thanked him before I left the place as I need to get back to the shop. Before it’s too late.. But all in all, I guess sometimes photography does have it’s way in starting small talks. It’s all good. Probably I might take his advice after all, because he told me behind the market that’s where the real beauty is.. lol. Have a nice day.

Portraits With Canon EF50mm F1.8

    Haven’t been playing around with this lens for quite some time already. If I’m not mistaken I got this lens at RM320 which was quite ok considering I had to get it in a rush before the Chinese New Year. And I heard that my friends who told me in Miri they are like selling it for like RM450 ~_~” Anyway, head over to eBay and find yourself a bargain there. Anyway, speaking of this lens. The very main reason why I love it so much was because of the bokeh (blur background) it creates. Whereby this lens would indeed make a perfect portrait pictures.

    Noticed how sharp the images can actually be. I really love this lens considering it’s also cheap, I think this is those one of the lens one must actually have for those who have a low budget. Anyway, it’s been a while since I took this out and shoot, but unfortunately there is no macro on this baby. But I guess it would do. Speaking of which, there are a lot of nice pictures which have been taken using this lens. You can head over to flickr and have a look there. As for mine, I didn’t really took much today as things got busy in the end :P So it’s all good! Anyway, here are some of the sample more from the Canon EF 50mm F1.8. Have a nice day.

Taking Pictures of People

Well, I guess I might need to live with this kit lens for now. Thinking of getting another lens, will see how it goes. It would be easier to capture expression on people’s face, and would really love to do that. But for now, all I can do is try to stand a distance and see how it goes :P
