29.03.08 - A New Project

Posted in: Gathering with Friends

A New Project - Preview

Today, I was invited to shoot a new, interesting project by a couple friends. It’s not something I am very passionate about but they did trigger that switch in me, and makes me feel like doing more similar stuffs (not exactly the same, but similar, =p).

As the photographer (lol..), I think I failed to deliver products they expect, perhaps due to my inexperience and lack of planning. Anyhow, I think it’s a good start. =)

Yea, this post is very abstract, haha, I am not even sure if I would put up a proper post for this project, I’ll have to see if I have enough not that bad good shots to showcase, hehe.

OH NO, SCHOOL REOPEN SOON! DARN IT DARN IT DARN IT! I need summer holiday….

^ Something I did a couple months ago, when I was roaming at uncle’s backyard. He has quite some treasure in there, found this dusty rear mirror on his mountain motorcycle. =p

Hands-on Review: Photoshop Express

Posted in: Photo-Sharing, Photoshop (web and gfx designing), Web 2.0

The long awaited, online browser-based, ‘express’ & free version of the popular photo-editing software titan, Photoshop Express is finally here!

I signed up and gave it a test drive. I am quite pleased and happy about the whole thing actually, provided that:

  1. I never expect miracles from it, it’s an online browser-based application, and it’s FREE. So, no layers, no fancy masking, only some basic but useful tools (but they threw in the Sketch tool, I wonder why).
  2. I understand that it’s not so ‘express’ for me because of the terrible connection of our local ISP.
  3. You get 2GB free storage (I don’t need it tho, I have my Flickr). I notice the “account type” option in My Account page, and I think we can expect a paid version soon, perhaps something like more features (especially in the “effects” section and more storage).

I am not very good in writing, so I’ll just use a bunch of screenshots to give you guys some preview (like what Physics teacher said, when you need to describe something, draw diagrams, in this case, use screenshot!).

24.03.08 - Balancing is So Scary!

very_nice_evening

^ Taken weeks ago. I was producing some product shot of my new flash outside my house, before I realize the beautiful sunset - the amazing transition of blue and golden sky. It’s difficult to frame this shot tho, because there’s many houses and it’s difficult to not including some of the roofs into my composition (the golden part of the sky is quite low because it’s really late already). To do so, I must go low, and since shooting the sky only is quite bland, I include some reflection from my cousin’s Honda CR-V, =p Continue Reading…

23.03.08 - Giant Is The New Hype in Brunei

Posted in: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, B&W Photography, Brunei Darussalam, Cameras, Candid Photography, Street Photography

Saw this TV crew doing some shooting when I accompany mom to Jerudong fish market, and yea, I had my D40 with me, weeeee! =D Don’t ask me why the hell are they there for, I have no idea, probably a scene in the market? LoL, doesn’t seems like documentary to me, tho. =S

Actors/hosts?

^ I am not sure if they’re recording or not, they were talking in a rather weird tone tho (well, more seriously one? Not casual, lol). If yes, then I guess I spoiled that scene(NG!), lol!

No one approach me after that tho, so I guess they were discussing something, *shrug* (I did a guy yell “rolling~” a couple times tho, lol)
