What Am I Up To Lately?

Happy fiddling with my Alpha 380. That's what I've been working on lately. I really need some practise before going for my trip to Taiwan in the next 2 weeks.

It's already 1 month since I owned this DSLR. So what's good and what's not about it? Good this about this cam is that it fits me well as a beginner (well that I mean I'm a beginner not the dslr), nicely size and weighted, at least for me. The bad thing is this dslr is not performing well under low light. With my shaky hands, night photos without a tripod look disastrous.

Learnt the very basic (errr. using the automatic mode all the way) on my own. Previous post is the very 1st self tutorial. And then, attended Sony Alpha Workshop in Miri.
The facilitator and I were the only West Malaysian there..

Love this effect.. i was snapping in BULB mode in the dark and suddenly someone turned on the light.... image looked luminence and surreal!

Learning to take details... better than before

A great workshop I must say as we're taught how to use our camera and followed by a trip to crocodile farm for practise. It's all free except for crocodile farm entrance!
as aforementioned... beginner photographer


Took photos during the punk make up competition. And outcome was bad. My photos were all blur!
That's right..

Wild is the 'theme'

Drooling already?

Even the narrator looks gorgeous!

Could have taken more if I'd charged my battery earlier..

Also, joined the Nexus (a graduate network in Shell and I'm also a committee there) to PDK Charity visit. Pictures looked ok, beginner level.
Loving team in loving area...


You don't mess with kids these days..

Well, honestly, I don't have the charity DNA in me. So really appreciate the group organizing these activity which I can tag along and contribute.

Hope that my photography skills are getting better. Else, it's all utterly waste of money. Susah payah I berjimat... also, always looking forward for interesting days...

easier said than done..

A recent conversation with a friend made me realise there are so much things, when said is ideal, when done might turn out to be less pleasant. Well of course one cannot run away from continuously managing an activity or action so that it does not turn ugly at all. Continuous management is what human tend to call, commitment. And who the hell made that word up, I've missed an M the first time I wrote it! As far as I lived to write this post today, I am 'proud' to still not tied down by the human-termed 'commitment'. I can have all the 365 days for myself, all my earnings for myself (of course I voluntarily treat my family which made me happy, and that's what I do for myself too) and all the time for myself. I can safely assume that I have almost zero commitment. Probably as the level of maturity heightens with age, responsibility and commitment come into play naturally. Not sure if from zero to hero sounds great when it is about commitment to everyone but I gues...

golf..

I had the chance to try golf yesterday. My colleague offered to teach me some of the basics so we off to Miri Golf Club for a few 'noob' hit at the driving range. Golf ain't easy eh.. We paid 5 bucks for 50 balls... that's 10 cents for a ball. Ok, I think it worth. If I make a bad hit, it's equivalent to throwing a 10 cents coin into the river. Hahah. It's gonna be a while for me to train myself to hit the ball most of the time. Currently, I'm already feeling the after effect of swinging the golf club. Muscle aches... Anyway, lets not stop halfway here...

Happy Anniversary

I am already working for a year. For a year, I have been earning, although income offset the spendings. Still, better than my younger days when I was a family credit guzzler. A year working here has been a smooth yatch sailing regardless of the wind direction for a sailor. The sailor is not sure where he'll end up soon or whether he will have the chance to see which shore he'll land. Being a young inexperienced sailor, the only option for the moment is to observe the weather daily and do what is right for the day. Not any opportunities to peek at captain's telescope to see where he am set to go. At times, or most of the time, the sailor contemplates a lot about his role. Sometimes it's bright sometimes it's bleak. The sailor hopes... someday when he knows how to read a compass, he will be able to clear his own path... ah, enough of metaphore and personification. Have a great weekend!
