never once I regretted being president for photography club

Yoona

Introducing my beloved YOONA , 

Wait, not this YOONA 

but this YOONA 

  I dont have my previous 50mm F1.8 Prime ,

so I have to put my kit lens to the fullest usage. 

So introducing my artwork....

The photo quality is not as nice because I have compressed it.

This is done by "zoom in while snapping" techniques.

In laymen term, when I taking shot with an SLR, I just zoom in the subject

while letting my camera absorbing the light. 

I am aware of the white balance is off, 

i just like the color for some reason. ...

I love watermelon....

I eat it while I doing assignments, 

boonboon2k2

I am going to take more photos,

I managed to get this shot , 

 (though I borrow some lightings)

at least it look like what a professional photo...

haha...

Pai seh, 

now I shiok sendiri.....

anyone interested in hiring me ?

Lomography

If anyone may wonder,

What is Lomography ?

Well, it is a style only a camera

"Lomo LC-A" can archieve,

Initially this Russian made camera,

is regarded as poorly made and bad picture taker too,

However, in early 1990,

2 students in Vienna started a new style of photography with

their creative approach,

and soon,

you guess it, it became a style,

There are two main attribute in Lomo,

1. there is a vignette surrouding the pic ,

a vignette is the black /darken area around the corner of the pic,

2. the saturation and colour contrast .

This is due to the technique called cross-processing in dark room.

To really understand what is cross processing is,

Let me explain,

Typically , it happens when you develop film in a chemical other then it was made for.

A standard 35mm (our normal analog camera) film use  C41 chemical to process the photos,

However, a Lomo colour slide film is usually process by E6 chemical,

Dont ask me what is C41 and E6, I dont know,

I know is something to process the photos though,

Ok, now the magic of Lomography lies here,

A Lomo will use a colour slide film and process it in C41 chemical and this results

in super weird combination and photos,

In order to archieve that result on my SLR,

I had to photoshop it to mimic that effect ,

Here is the link for the photoshop tutorial, 

So, with a powerful format like RAW, it gives more freedom for me

to further made my photos into nicer pics...

this is the original pic,

This is the LOMO-fied pic...

boonboon2k2,

I knew the existence of Lomo from Brendan 

but Christina remind me of this technique...

thanks ....

Ideas

Recently I ran out of ideas , 

not on blog topic, 

but rather on what photo to take 

on entering that muar yuan cheng xiang competition, 

another backlight theme photos, 

and a theme for next week, 

arrrrrrr.....

how to take a group shot with ba kuah in it ????

boonboon2k2

arrrrrrr

A bug's life

To tell the truth, one day a shot is quite hectic to me ....

 However, If i can produce good shot everyday ,

I dont mind,

But too bad, my best shot for the day really is flawed in many ways.

Just like out of focus like yesterdays dog pictures,

and the unexpected blockage from the ant antenna.

 But , I hope you can see the anxiety of that ant though...

And I saw few photography contest around the corner,

Suprisingly ,

the winner of this contest is determine by how many "like" in Facebook,

quoting the website 

"Winners are determined through the number of “Likes” the photo receives."

And since the theme is 

“family reunion, gathering or valentine”  

Anyone have any ideas ? 

This company is a food company 

call Muar Yuan Chen Siang , 

so mostly i need a food / family shots...

but i out of creativity for this purpose..

 group shots will be boring for this contest ...since 

every submission is groups shots...

boonboon2k2

I wan to win that camera...

执子之手,与子偕老

No doubt, shooting in RAW can be fun,

but if this continues, I had to buy a new hardisk,

only for storing my photos....

this not my best shot as it is out of focus,

(i intended to focus the eye but the camera went for the nose)

but I felt wasted to discard it ...

I love the emotion he gave back then

When I saw a dog, I cant help but to think about

how dog be so loyal in loving his master,

but how fragile we are in loving someone,

and there was a saying by  my chinese teacher,

which the only deep impression i had on him is that he is cool,

nevertheless there is a saying i learn from him is ..

执子之手,与子偕老

which basically ,

Hold your hands, and live till we grow olds,

althought it is part of a poem , but it give a simple yet powerful meaning,

and i think it is nice to share the whole poem out right here,

执子之手,与子共著；

执子之手,与子同眠；

执子之手,与子偕老；

执子之手,夫复何求?

Which means

Hold your hands, pass through difficulty with you,

Hold your hands, and sleep through the night with you,

Hold your hands, and grow old with you,

Hold your hands, what else I can wish for ?

correct me if I'm wrong with the translation,

(counting on ah yu for that )

because I translate through my understanding of the poem, 

boonboon2k2

It may sound simple, but it really express everything I wish for in a relationship

My first RAW pic /project 365

This year, I wish to put my photography skill into another level, 

By shooting in RAW format,

If anyone wonder what is RAW, and what is the difference between RAW and JPEG

Let me explain, 

A RAW file,in short 

is uncompressed, complete data from camera sensor, 

so basically, if you got 12 MegaPixel Camera, 

you will get a 12MB worth of data in your RAW pic, 

this is a significant boost to your picture quality as 

A 12 MegaPixel could only take at most 3MB picture in JPEG, 

But JPEG is the standard format for any photos, 

just like FB can accept JPEG format for uploading , but not RAW ....

But higher quality comes with more post editing trouble, 

In JPEG, you can just take the photo and upload it in FB,

but in RAW

you have to view it in another software (Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0) and save it in jpeg,

Well, why I would wan to shoot in RAW since it bring more trouble to me ? 

First of all, RAW is a means for me to produce higher quality picture, 

and 

I wan to change my habit to take photos in quality instead of quantity, 

anyway, 

here is the first shot of my RAW ,

It took me two hour to take this 

but another 2 days to figure out how to save in JPEG ,

but it is worth it though....

Rain

Looking at Vannesa's blog,

I'm was reminded on how long I did not take rain shots,

since today I rest and sleep because of denggi suspicion,

I was bitten by mosquito that look like aedes yesterday,

I guess that what people called you deserved it sacrifice in the name of art.

and since today it rained,

might as well I try taking photos from my house ....
