SIM Arts Festival.02

my gosh

just finished doing my workshop slides

will be giving out a Basic Photography workshop tomorrow at school

so yeah !

anyway,

gotta wake up real early tomorrow

so here's some pic of the performances during the Arts Festival :)

more tomorrow !

if i got time =x

the Leica

as of now

i think i'll add this little thing to show you what camera i'm actually using to shoot the pictures i'll be displaying in the subsequent posts

and for this one

it'd be this

well

i've been wanting to buy a compact compact camera for a while now

actually i have a few compacts

2 compacts previously to be precise

but then

their size

to me

isn't compact at all man

Canon Powershot D10

bought it for all the underwater pictures

and especially for my Bali trip the other time





Canon Powershot G9

Won it two years ago from the Canon Photo Marathon 2007

these two cams are great

produces amazing pictures

couldn't ask for more from them

but then

they're used only for specific purposes

i use to carry my G9 for my travel trips for all the video-ing

and other random snapshots

the G9 has thus been replaced with the D10 for my travel compact cam

it's more versatile,

and the best thing is

it can shoot underwater :)

so for now,

the G9 will rest in the dry box

and the D10 will definitely be with me if i happen to go to beaches or swimmings for now

see these two camera

despite it's quality

is still a little too big for me

that's when i began researching and finding around a compact compact camera

like

ultra compact camera those kind

i want a small, good, quality, compact camera

so that i can have a camera with me

just for the usual casual snapshots with friends

or for those moments i had always wished i have a camera with me

then

i considered

the Lumix LX 3

i'm comfortable with its price

the size was ok

slightly slimmer than the G9

and produces amazing quality

i went down to look at its actual size

= too big

the lens doesn't retract back in

bulky still in my ultra compact camera category

that's when i further research for a compact camera

somehow

i've never considered sony

i don't know why

and when i saw the Leica C Lux 3

I FEEL IN LOVE immediately !

went down to take a look

did test shots

and was blown away !!!

so

here's the new member of my camera and lenses family !

my very first Leica :)

i'm looking forward to some amazing HD videos and pictures from it in the near future !

arts festival pictures will be resumed tomorrow !

SIM Arts Festival.01

well, the SIM Arts Festival 2009 was just over :)

a few months of hard work

lots of hours spent in front of this computer

all paid off

happily

it's finally over !

tomorrow = full rest day !

anyway,

for this event

i'm:

main arts fest committee (designer + conceptualizer) and president of the sim photography club both at once

designed some more than 50 pieces of art works for this event

which i think i shall share later later on

and for the photography club

i organized a charity fund-raising photography exhibition

which turned out to be pretty not bad at all !

raised the amount twice that i've targeted !

this explains

the super busy past month

d3000.01

more photos from the nikon d3000

went to the botanic garden for a couple of hours with it

and i came back home.....

happy

just because i haven't been shooting for quite a while

but then when i look at the pictures

these were what stared back at me

k...not that

but these are 2 that i shot while i was at the botanic garden :)

white + d3k review

well..for a while now i've been trying to change the layout into something white

become like so much space now

hopefully the space = nicer viewing pictures :)

well

for a while now

i've have in my possession a nikon d3000 for review

first impression ?

i shouldn't say first la i think

share with you guys some pictures first

then i'd say what i think about the camera aight !

nice.ly 03

no

i'm not dead.....

yet

just really really busy the past weekss

basically from a week from the start of september

designs

this and that

and that is why when i picked up the camera just now to grab a couple of shots

i felt totally relaxed

like very very very

i'm myself again

and i can breathe again

but now still have to do a couple of things

so

share 2 pictures :)

the sim arts festival is just next week !

so many things to look after !

nice.ly 02

damn tired

my eyes feel like popping out man

er...

just finished off some 4 comic strips in one night

so yeah

pretty darn intensive

chasing time really now

so just have enough eye battery for 1 picture tonight...ok this morning

and it's of jernice

nice.ly 01

shall slowly but surely edit a few at a time

two or three at a day

hendra and winda's first night photo is done

left the day and the 2nd night

anyway

got a lot of work to do

zzz

kk

more tomolo

nice.ly

i kinda feel i'm a different person behind the camera

the mood and all the tiredness will disappear

for a while

and it's those moments that make my life complete

the curves of the camera and lens on my hands

viewfinder at the eye

and everything seems to stop

time flies

and for those short moments

i can be at peace

doing what i do best

and so i tried to do what i thought i could

turning two sweet looking models into a rebellious looking teen

which i failed miserably

may be i just wasn't at my optimum condition

i sincerely apologies for that girls :(

but then again again

you guys were great regardless !

and the shoot, though totally went off of the theme i wanted

turned out to be pretty not bad at all :)

so

here's

jer.nice

a totally super awkward pose

which i think she pulls it off amazingly

i really think it's that awkwardness that makes this picture really engaging

there's something in this picture that makes me wonder around it

pearly

pearly

totally sweet, looking and in person :)

and reminds me a lot a lot of my friend too lol

especially from this side !

aight

i shall rest

for another long day of editing and designing tomorrow

thank you girls for the break !
