A Pretty Date.

Argh! I just missed my assignment deadline again, for the second time already this semester. T_T

I'm now rushing to finish it so that by 6 a.m tomorrow morning I can slide it under my lecturer's door.

Argh I hate myself for procrastinating too much.

Anyways, today's date is 20/08/2008 if ya'll haven't noticed. 20082008, ftw.

Singtel just released their price plans for the iPhone 3G and there goes my dream of getting an iPhone 3G for now...

I should wait till end of the year when the Starhub and M1 will get their iPhones too and then there will be price wars hopefully!

REVERSE LENS MACRO (1)

Few days ago while browsing some photography forum, I came across a thread that read "Eye Shots". So I clicked on it and after scrolling down some entries, I came across one picture that totally blew me away. It was a macro shot of the human eye, more specifically, the iris.

Here's the photo of it. Credit to the photographer whose username is Headshotzx.


CHECK OUT THE AMAZING TEXTURES!

I was also inspired to take some macro pics of my own. Since I don't own any dedicated macro lenses, I resort to using the poor man's method of shooting macro.

Hence, this entry will be the debut to a series dedicated to macro shoot using the reverse lens technique.

Here are some photos to start off, my friend's mini cactus plants.

KLCC PHOTOSHOOT.

These photos are the conclusion to my PIKOM PC FAIR (II) set from several posts ago.

So after coming out from the exhibition halls, we went straight to the park. Quickly we found a shady spot and sat down on the grass. It had been exhaustive walking for hours. Yet, I couldn't pack the camera into the bag.

As always, I reviewed the photos to see which ones were blur, which ones with gross white balance and which ones which made the "hard work" worth it.

I also took some pictures of my friend.

Then we were ready to go home. So off we went to the car park and on the way took some photos of the iconic twin towers.

Fashion Fusion @ Berjaya Times Square

I've finally gotten my Tamrac Adventure 7 in grey/black after 2 weeks of waiting. I love the camera backpack, and it doesn't carry the looks of a camera bag!

HOWEVER, I'm still having a tough time fiddling and figuring out how to fit my EOS 400D with battery grip with a lens attached into the compartments.

Bert, can you post a picture of how u fit your gears into ur Tamrac please! Appreciate it!

Anyway, I 'de-virginize' my Tamrac by bringing it to Fashion Fusion at Berjaya Times Square on Saturday.

One really can't shoot fashion runways if one doesn't own a longer range lens.

I shot with my 50mm (lol... I was the only one with a standard lens among the big guns)... damn paiseh sia standing beside people with big lenses.

btw, all my pictures here have been heavily cropped.

Plug 'n' Play Youth Festival

Let's roll back in time to 25th July 2008.

For that was the day of the Plug 'n' Play Youth Festival at Sunway Pyramid outdoor area. This event is a collaborative effort of four universities and colleges, namely, Monash University, Inti College, Taylors College and KDU.

This festival promised events such as dance competition, battle of the bands, motorshow and race queen competition amongst many other events.

I was there for the motorshow and race queen competition, of course.

Here are my 'loot' from that day.

PIKOM PC FAIR (II) 2008 @ KLCC.

Over the weekend, I attended the PC Fair aka "Babe Fair" at KLCC with some friends.

I've recently got acquainted with this guy who just bought an EOS 40D and we agreed to go shoot some portraits. So the three-day event was a perfect outlet for us to fire some two hundred plus shutters.

As usual, I faced the problem of not being able to get the right white balance on my photos. Also, I think the crowds got larger at each PC Fair and it was impossible to take photos without hitting a person close by or a person accidentally knocked your arms.

Nonetheless, I think the promoters are also getting better in terms of the costumes they wear, amongst other things. It is safe to say that PC Fair has now become a full-blown photography event, at least for some people.
