D90, The First SLR That Captures Video

Posted in: Nikon, Photography

DSC_0260-2

Yesterday, I was hanging around The Mall with some friends, including Shim (Shim De Zhen), and we had a short conversation about photography.

I was telling him what drives my passion towards photography - the passion to capture & preserve memories, and we went on to talk about videos, which can actually preserve memories better (which is true). Some people (like Shim) may ask, why don’t you shoot videos since you wanted to preserve memories? Well, I do have my reasons but I might start shooting some videos soon - thanks to the new D-movie feature introduced by Nikon.

The D90 (& a new kit lens: 18-105mm VR) was announced on 27th of August. It wasn’t surprising due to the amount of leak/buzz/rumors around the internet (to track Nikon rumors/buzz, visit NikonWatch & NikonRumors), but one feature stole the show, the revolutionary D-Movie. It’s revolutionary because it’s the very first D-SLR that captures video!

Blog Re-Design

Posted in: Photography, Vagabond's Caravan

Yay! Finally finish changing to this new theme which I like a lot. Fixed a few minor problem with it and re-install a couple plug-ins, like CommentLuv recomended by Teddy. I am actually kind of tired of managing my own blog (as I am no longer a hardcore web development fan), and was planning to migrate to Wordpress.com, instead of maintaining this server. Anyway, I had a lot of fun juggling around php and css codes today, although I barely know anything about them anymore, hehe.

So, what do you think about this new blog? I am afraid that it might be a bit too graphics intensive, lol, but it sure looks good, no? =D I really like the way links and archives are displayed as 2 column on the sidebar, and the super wide tagboard seems pretty good, too. And I also did a small customisation to this theme, can you notice it? =D

I finally wrote my About page (but still incomplete), too! =D

And well, my mock exams ended on Monday, and I’m finally editing some long overdue photos, hehe. First set to be completed (Promised Shim) is the MD 2007/8 Prefect Appreciation Dinner @ Millennium Restaurant. It was an ok night, with pretty good food (or maybe because I was pretty hungry). Enjoy! =)

P.S: most photos are taken by others, and ChungSun/Louis, I think.

Hmmm, proceed only if you want, they’re a couple self-portraits I took when I was revising. Hmm, I’m not sure why but I always take self-portrait during revision, lol.

Flying Fox @ Pusat Ehsan Charity Bazaar

Last Sunday, we spent our entire day @ Pusat Ehsan Charity Bazaar. Most of us were there as volunteer workers (representing PYRO club of MD) while the BEs/juniors are there to setup a game booth. I

t was actually a pretty fun day but I was bounded by some jobs, so I didn’t really shoot much that day, which is something I kind of regret because the sunlight was pretty good that day. =p Anyway, I love the photos taken and 80% of the photos in my memory card are worth keeping (although I deleted quite a lot on the spot as I review them when I am free) and that kind of speed up my post-process work flow, hah!
