Sunset

Posted in [Interest], [Photography]

Back from Tioman and took around 100 shots. The weather aint so good for the few days during my stay, I got lucky only on the first day on arrival to actually shot a Sunset. Here’s the best of all to me as the boat in it portray the loneliness and shows that nights is going to fall soon, where everything will come to a rest. Love the hue and ambience of this pics. Anyway, my friend pointed out saying that it’s abit underexposed. Will take this as a lesson and a big step in my photogrpahy skills as this is shot manually. Enjoy.

Photography - Loneliness

Posted in [Interest], [Photography]

Loneliness

This is a shot i took in Korea where they shot the drama ‘Winter Sonata’. Can you feel the loneliness especially the tree without leaves that is leaning towards the water? Trees would be so lonely without leaves company. I think it shows the human’s fear towards loneliness as nobody like to be lonely and therefore everyone will try to lean towards somebody like friends, love, family and etc so that they won’t be lonely.

At first I wanted to make it into a black and white shots same as what I posted at devArt which you can see when you clicked on the picture. But I guess this colour suits more to portray the loneliness I captured in the picture which is a colour between sepia and b&w, so that it would possesses both the colour’s feel.

I took this shot in 2004 January when at that moment, loneliness conquered me when I went to Korea. Somehow I prefer Japan over Korea as Korea is much colder if compared to Japan. It’s so cold that it would make you feel depressed, lonely and sad. Once i saw this scenery, it’s such a perfect match to what I felt. Hence I took down this picture as remembrance to that loneliness.

I’m dedicating this to Yun as she’s having a bad time now and I hope that she could overcome her sadness as soon as possible.

Yellow Trumpets

This is taken at my neighbour’s house. I sneaked near their house to take this… ;) I love the striking yellow, that’s why i eliminated all the other colours so that it won’t distract the yellow.

Canon EOS 350D Review

Posted in [Interest], [Photography]

Finally Phil Askey from dpreview has posted his full in-depth review on the new Canon EOS 350d. i’m still reading his long really in-depth review as i really wanted to buy this camera badly. however i just couldn’t seemed to understand those technical stuff. but, i have to learn as it is important to know all the features in your camera so that you could produce the best shot with the equipment you have (or else you could just stick with your P&S camera rite?)

Anyway, Phil graded it a Highly Recommanded Camera

Canon EOS 350D

below is the Pros and Cons listed in his review

Conclusion - Pros
* Excellent resolution, a clear match for the EOS 20D
* Good color, default +1 parameter set means punchy images out of the camera
* Noise free ’silky smooth’ images at ISO 100, 200 and 400
* Very good in-camera image processing, JPEG’s almost as good as processed RAW’s
* Very low noise levels even at ISO 1600, virtually unnoticeable below this
* Excellent seven point AF system, fast, good in low light and reliable
* Good continuous shooting speed, large buffer size, smart buffering implemented
* Very fast startup (virtually instant)
* Very small and light weight although hand grip is a little thin
* Good construction, feels well put together
* Improvements over user control; metering mode, AF mode, Flash exposure compensation
* In-camera programmable ‘parameter sets’ to control image processing algorithms
* Selectable color space (sRGB / Adobe RGB)
* Almost no noise in long exposures, optional noise reduction if required
* RAW mode provides the ‘digital negative’
* Customizable exposure steps (1/3, or 1/2 EV)
* Customizable SET button (Quality, Parameter or Playback)
* Remote capture software included for computer controlled shooting
* Designed to combine ease of use and advanced features, works well in this respect
* Playback magnification up to 10x (perfect for checking focus)
* Unique JUMP mode in playback (by date, 10 or 100 images)
* Orientation sensor for automatic image rotation
* Full Canon EF lens compatible (plus EF-S lenses)
* Excellent Compact Flash Write performance (4.5 - 5.5 MB/sec with fast card)
* Excellent battery life despite new smaller lower capacity battery
* Excellent supplied software suite
* USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
* Value for money

Conclusion - Cons
* Opening the CF compartment door shuts camera down, loses any buffered images
* LCD monitor is dim unless you turn up brightness setting
* New kit lens disappointing at telephoto with smaller apertures
* Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent light
* Controls for ISO, metering, AF mode and White Balance now require extra SET press
* Can be awkward to change ISO, metering, AF mode and WB settings in bright daylight
* Drive mode button too easy to press accidentally
* No spot metering
* ISO sensitivity not displayed on viewfinder status bar or LCD panel while being changed
* Flash must be raised for AF assist
* Flash sync 1/200 sec (compared to 1/500 sec for the Nikon D70)
* Plastic finish will not be everyone’s taste
* No Kelvin white balance selection in-camera
* Small viewfinder view, although brighter than EOS 300D

any pro could give me advice on it?
