more 7d

thought of making a 7d wallpaper for my computer

so shoot it even more this time :)

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 !

a macbook

well, got myself a new macbook

the "older" version

the 2.4 ghz one

i guess i'd be one of the last guys to actually own the aluminum macbook

thought of sending them back to be exchanged for the new macbook pro

but then again pay some 10% restocking fee

which is 200+

and then i calculate think think think

it's just not that really worth it

so will be keeping it d

coz i alreadi like fell in love with it alreadi lor

so

here's some photos !

haven't been really shooting properly for quite some time now

so despite all the other works to be done

i picked up the camera

set up the lights

and just shoot !

gosh

i love it :)

aight!

more more more soon !

been really busy : /

the gadgets family

posted a few my of my camera family before
and so here's the update













on the 20th of december 2006
at approximately 20:20
i had my very first dslr
dad and i went to Archa, a photography shop at Medan Fair
and i got the 400D which i still dearly love till today





soon, i bought the BG-E3 here in singapore to give it more power












10 months later
on the very same day
20th October 2007
i received my very first "real" prize from a photography competition
prior to this, i've had one of my picture published in a local tabloid already back in medan
but the pay was crappy
so this was my real prize





the canon powershot g9 which still continue to amaze me till now
like how it could grab a moon shot




pretty powerful eh ?












the companion first lens for the 400D was of course the kit lens
the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5 - f/5.6
which i forgotten to shoot !
lol
coz i was shooting half of the pics here using that lens


anyway, then
the very first lens i purchase was this



the so called "a must have lens"
the "murah meriah" lens
the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8












soon, without much research,
i went on to buy another lens



which till now i'm still using
and am yes, happily using it
the Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 II
was my general purpose lens for quite a long time
the lens that's mostly attached to the body of my camera for quite same time
brought it to bali and practically shot the entire trip using this lens only












the next lens i got myself was





after much savings
i then purchased the heavenly macro lens from canon
Canon MACRO EF 100mm f/2.8
and that was when my macro-ing really began
soon, all the splashes followed too












i got myself a speedlite after the macro lens





the Canon speedlite 580EX
amazing speedlite












and of course along the way
i got myself a few of these too
















the next lens was then sponsored by dad
who happier and prouder than i actually am on winning the Canon Photomarathon 2007
so it's actually a gift





and thanks to dad
this lens has been always on my 400D since its purchase
it's always with me to every outing i went
except the thaipusam one though
i abuse its wideness in my previous sibolga and brastagi trip
and the abusing will continue more more more













er...ok phones

it's usual for most indonesian here in singapore to carry two phones
one for the singapore number
and the other one will be for their indo number
and so do i












carrying my singapore number will be the





sony ericsson w580i












while my indo number is carried by





the lg chocolate












and the thing that's always accompanying me wherever i go is





simply love it


and all these plus my ASUS laptop
are the things that i'd say
i can't live without
