Anyway, I'm glad that finally I'm taking photo~! Not a good one but still yay~! I think the photo is oversharpened. Ah ha ah ha ah ha ha ha!

Smoke Trail

Since Thursday, MMU photography club organized an 3-day event in MMU Grand-hall. I only managed to snap few photos as I got too excited and anxious being surrounded by pros. Hehe! Thanks to Gerrard, I have learned about smoke trail! The process is seriously fun!

This is not a good shot so let's put aside the photography issue. I'm more concern with the overexposed mosquito coil. I wonder what kind of adjustments needed to be done in order to refine the colour with Photoshop. Someone please save/teach me! D:

LOMO with BBQ Stove~

I feel so bad for not taking as many photo as possible. I just don't have the idea or theme! It's okay. I'll slowly increase my photo collections. :)

At first glance, we could see that the image above is totally not produced by camera. Indeed it's not. The message that I'm trying to deliver is how powerful Photoshop is! Again I put myself in contradiction with the need of post-processing of photo taken with DSLR. Don't worry if you couldn't get what I said. ;p

Scroll down for more~



Check this out! Spot the huge differences between the edited and non-edited images! Photoshop terrifies people and that's it! *shakes head*

Another attempt!

Water & Coin | Link


Bored with FB, not motivated to start FYP, having mom controlling over the remote control, and while waiting for dinner, it's photo shooting time! Hmm.. What can we shoot at night? No, I don't feel like shooting portraits. No, not going outdoor ler!

*Ding!*

Ah ha! I have an idea! Perhaps I should try splashing fruit photography!

*Searches fridge*

Eventually there's only a banana left. But bah! I wanna chomp it later so I wont sacrifice it! It's mine! MINE!!

*cough*

Lastly, no choice but to replace fruit with coin. After all the materials are gathered, tripod and backdrop are set, now let's get the party started~! Woohoo~!

The photo shoot session went pretty smooth and things seemed pretty well-done. Until viewing the photos with laptop. I've got trauma after browsing through the images! Seriously! The photos are not sharp, shadows and reflections are included. Haiyo.. Chose the best photo and tried to photoshop lo. First edit turned out bad and the picture above is my Nth try. Ok la.. Can't expect more from a n00b like me. XP

In a conclusion, I still heart the outcome. Meh~!! ;p

Woot woot!

Weeeeee~ I like the new template so much! Especially the top-left photo box! I can now change the photo whenever I wish to. ;p


Plushies | Link

Here's another picture taken some time ago. Does it look the the plushies are taking self potraits by themselves? Hehe!

Speaking of photography, I've started to get confuse with the definition of "Art of Photography". A good photo should or shouldn't go through post-processing? If the photo is good enough and doesn't require further edit, indeed it saves a lot of hassles. But why not do some post processing to enhance the quality of photo?

These are not the only ideas that have been buzzing around me. In the end, I think that we should just keep things easy. I'll just shoot what I want - photos that tell stories.

Sunbathing Wheels

Not a satisfying shot and poorly edited but I wanna share this photo with everyone. ): This shot was taken during learning process, so it shouldn't be abandoned even though it doesn't look good! Moreover, I can always refer back for improvements and laugh at how immature is my skills lo. ;p


Alright. IMO it's hard to shot something randomly without a theme but I wanna press the shutter button. Then the idea of having newly purchased skate wheels as model came across my mind. Eventually I shot few photos in JPEG and RAW. Who knows PS CS2 couldn't support RAW(.NEF). Haiyo! No choice but to leave RAW editing for next time.


In addition, I'm grateful to Bennie for teaching me PS techniques! We communicated through FB chat application as I was facing problems to add him in MSN. Yes, you heard me right. It's very very hard to learn through FB chat app because it lags so much lo! My PC hung half way liao I'm unable to complete the learning course. XD Anyway, Bennie is a good fella and I hope that I didn't disturbed him from busy tasks. XD Shall kacau him again! XP

Poyittu varen! We shall wait and see whether I'll have the mood to redo the shot later. Lazy ler.. @_@

Sunset. Sunset?

Sunset | Link

Resized, curve level changed, hue and saturation adjusted.


I read something like this in a forum -"Flat, uninteresting snapshots which their owners called sunsets". My heart pounded so hard as I read through the statement. Should I call my shot a sunset shot then? Ah hahaha... @___@


Anyway, the bottom-middle part seems overexposed. How to avoid ar? I must set up tripod at the next attempt! Argg!

Shiat! Picture can't fit with current theme!

Banana Talk #1

Wow wow! Please don't go wrong thinking something gross! Heck! Not assuming everyone but most of the people did that when I mention I eat/buy bananas. :/


Just a few seconds ago, I was stucked with the measure word for bananas. So, I asked my dad and sis in MSN chat-room to clear the doubt. My dad told me to ask sis instead. Perhaps he didn't know the answer as well lo. XD All the while I know it's "sesikat pisang" in malay, then my sis told me it's "a comb of banana". I went "Ohhhhhhhh....! Smart har!". I should have knew it since i know the term in malay ma! Grrr!! :/


I wasn't finish with my questions yet. Then I asked: "What's satu batang pisang in english?" The next thing she replied: "a piece of banana". A while later, we both realized that it can just be "a banana". We lulz-ed at our stupidity!


Back to topic lar! I'm actually experimenting with banana ripening process. This is because Qiku taught me how to conserve bananas and slow down the ripening process.


First we start off with green bananas. Wrap them with papers and chill them in fridge. Take out a banana and leave it on table or wherever you want for a day. The next day it will be fully matured and good to be consumed. This seems troublesome but who cares? It's fun looking at how it rips over time(I put it on the table next to me. Easier to babysit it XD). IT'S FUN!!!!!!

Random Shots

I've decided to share few pictures taken earlier during Cameron trip. Kekekekeke!

Baby tea leaves [Link]

It was my mom's idea to capture this way. I love the outcome, how the pink sleeve setting off the tea leaves. Lovely isn't it? Somehow it is a little out of focus. The leaves don't look sharp. Sad..



Moss [Link]

Pewit~ Gotta love this shot because it's my first successful bokeh shot! ^^ Maybe I have to choose smaller aperture to have more focus on the photo. Hmm..

Sunset

It has been raining continuously since days ago. Thus I have no chance to get sunset shots. I do enjoy the good, chilly weather but uh.. The clouds should take a break, so that we can at least do laundries ler. @_@


After a long wait, finally the day has come. Today's early evening was pretty clear and managed to see sunset glares~ So this is what I've captured.

First Photoshoot Outing

Months or month ago, my mom gave me a call, said that my parents will pick me up in Cyberjaya after internship and then go for Cameron Highland trip. Of cause I'm happy with the decision as I don't have to buy ticket to go back!


Some time later, a "noob" friend of mine started talking about DSLR. I did some little research on it, saw some sales, checked money on hand, and BOOM! I found a DSLR which I can afford. I approached an online seller and for god's sake, he replied me with speed of light! This made me much more eager and hungry for DSLR! 2 days later, I bought my first DSLR! Teehee~


Some people may bash me that why would I spent so much on a camera? I will say that some people prefer to invest in fashion, food, hardware and so on. Why not DSLR? Moreover I bought it with money earned during internship, so no regrets at all!


Although the DSLR is with me but under-usage. Yet I can't do any shooting as the result of my lousy skills to handle poor lighting in room. So I achieved nothing. Until I recalled about the Cameron trip! I've got excited~


Speaking about the trip, I took 100+ of photos in just one tourism spot. It was a great experience for me as I never have chances to even take 10 or more photos in just one day! Special thanks to my parents too! They kept waiting while I was shooting, gave me advices, drove me to different places to let me try out photo shooting. I was touched but I think I let them down. Most of the photos were deleted due to the blurriness, wrong focus point, etc etc. Such a waste eh? But it's ok. I'm still in the progress of learning.


Hopefully I can do better next time! Gotta conquer and learn more about photography! Rawrrrr!! (How about studies? XD)
