First Sunset Shooting

After my housemate got his 5D Mark II, another friend (so called "The most successful engineer in Penang") also decided to move into full frame, NIKON D700. After the shopping about 6pm, they need to test out their RM7-8K camera ... sunset will be our choice !

Tokina 28-70mm f2.8 lens look better in term of sharpness and contrast.

Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 Review

@10mm @f8

Got my new sigma 10-20mm and tested with few shooting. A bit disappointed with the vignetting effect cause by the lens. To make myself feel better, i'll take this a very good experience on how to test and evaluate a lens on the vignetting effect.

Below is the test I do on my sigma 10-20mm taken with different aperture and zoom at 10/14/20mm. Look like I only can use the lens at 20mm or aperture > 8.

I'm poisoned by my good housemate ... also other friends who into photography. At first i thought spending RM1350 on a body+kit lens should be reasonable for a beginner. End up proven i'm wrong because I never satisfy with "normal". haha ... until today, I have spent ~RM7K for all my camera gadget. Omg ... i'm out of control !!!


Yesterday just bought the new Ultra Wide Angle !
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6


3rd party flash: CyberTik


Someone please stop me from buying more n more. I feel so guilty after spending money ... is that normal? To make myself feel better, I decided from today onwards i have to control my spending until end of the year ... (if got increment n promotion then will be different stories ... haha)

Pangkor Trip

12 years ago, Pulau Pangkor is 1 of the destination for our Form 3 holiday trip.

12 years later revisit Pangkor Island proof that I having problem remember things ... must the the alcohol things that kill alot of my brain cell. Anyway, at least got few places i still have some memory; the shop we bought alot local souvenir (junk food & snack), and also the beach/island that we had football game.
1st piority still photo shooting ... we only got less than 24 hours ! The cloudy sky really give me headache specially with my kit lens ... haih ... looks like wide angle will be my next target ! Lucky i still have my f2.8 can use to take a few shoot. Better than nothing ...

Start !

After I get involve in photography, I have decided to create a blog to keep my favorite pictures. At first thought facebook would be my choice, but seem like the quality of the picture degraded significantly. Since many famous photographers also sharing picture in blog, this might be a good start for me to create mine as well.

Take this as a practice to improve my English essay writing as well... another reason will be "I'm too boring !!!" hahaha ... looking for something to do. Hope this won't be my final post ...
