Eat, Walk, Snap at Tanjung Sepat.

2012-01-02T15:11:00.000+08:00

i never been to tanjung sepat before, since today is a holiday, i joined some of the sampative folks to pay a visit to the bao village. heard their bao is delicious, it is true? only one way to find out. let go.

we're not directly headed to the bao.. we first stop by this wooden shop house for our main course of the day. guess what?

Bakuteh!! and this is no ordinary Bakuteh, it's Seafood Bakuteh.. sound weird? i hearing this for quite sometimes, at last i got the chance to try it out. the right side of clay pot is traditional Bakuteh, which only pork. left clay-pot is clear fish paste soup. the seafood Bakuteh is very nice. but if you didn't mentioned its Seafood Bakuteh, i probably never know it's bakuteh.maybe the seafood taste covered the herbal taste. but conclusion is.. ALL NICE!

finished the maincouese let's go grab some light food, the local delight. BAO! and here is the place.

Bao Bao Bao..Tanjung Sepat Bao. wait.. No Dai Bao(Big Bao), no CharSiew Bao, huh? only got Shang Yuk Bao(Pork), rest of it is like Mui choi Bao(Vege+Pork), Kaya Bao, DaoSah Bao(Green Bean), vegetable Bao, and Peanut Bao. kinda out of my expectation.

and here is the BAO! they printed their logo underneath the Bao, good advertising method. we order all type of Bao, too bad not all variant are available.

finish our bao's, enter the shop in front of the restaurant, we find the factory of the bao's, where they make the delicious bao here.

finished our lunch.. and now we headed to another local famous stuff. the KOPI.(coffee). and this is the raw coffee fruits. the coffee bean are inside this fruts

and here how they process the coffee bean, fry and dry the coffee bean? hmph...

and somehow, we walked into a coffee processing factory(sort of). and the owner of the place is a coffee specialist and very professional. he explain to us how he process the kopi taken from kopi tree, filtering, processing, and at last turn into coffee drink, and also explain the different between them. best past is, we got some free coffee :)

and this bottle really surprise me.. i never know they got this in malaysia.. what is inside the bottle? i can tell u. that's is a SHIT! you got me right. it's shits of Asian Palm Civet. and this is the coffee bean of World most expensive Coffee. the KOPI LUWAK. and he explain the type of Kopi Luwak!! made from Wild Palm Civet and pet-breed Palm Civet. the price ? RM200 a CUP!

finished the coffee story.. and we move to another factory.. Arowana? fish factory?

no, it's not! that Cassava,

and these are Cassava crackers. oh boy!! that's alot of them, no dear.. u can't have it all.

and she wanted to get a packet of Cassava Crackers. and only one... that's the one... 3KG! seem like she got herself a new pillow..

then next is GanoFarm. Mushroom farm. funny is their Chinese name written exactly same with "Poh Chi Lam". the Shop owned by Wong Fei Hong. but this 1 is all about mushroom.

walk further down.. the beach is here. a lot paya bakau here.

and there is a bridge. but this is not the lover bridge.

more photo of the place. guess what.. there was a whale spotted here somewhere. long long time ago. and that's the photo as prove. wish i can see a whale with my own eyes. someday...

okay.. here is the true lover bridge. and look like more like a port to me. unload fisherman catch. and fisherman boats..

but because we're there. so this is the lover bridge XD. okay. that's all for tanjung sepat. hehehe.

the center stage, since friday night. nothing interesting here. maybe there will be something interesting on sat or sun. oh look, there is NIKON booth, and pushing their new product the Nikon 1 series.

the Nikon Mirror-less Camera System. Nikon 1, this is Nikon V1 with Nikkor 70-200 f2.8m with adapter to use existing nikkor lens of course.

hey look, at last i found something that i feel interesting. the OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO 12-50MM 1:3.5-6.3, it's diff from traditional zoom. it more like eletronic zoom(e-zoom) where you no need to turn the lens half circles around the lens. and i'm holding 1 of the prototype or see through demo lens with me.

last but not least. the Santa and Santarina?Ho!ho!ho! merry christmas!!! i wish the santa tell me to choose my Xmas Present XD.

Nexus Outing at Canyon Paintball

2011-10-21T17:31:00.000+08:00

few years back, we had a Nexus Go Kart session back in 2007. and we had a paintball war in 2011.

Canyon Paintball, we're here for some war. this place is hidden inside jungle.. i guess they need bigger signboard to lead the road to the place.

gulps... open field?? we are not playing in this field rite?

and here's the resting zone..

and of course.. this place is gun free zone.

oh.. there is a pretty lady guarding the washroom. he's armed. hehehe

the paintball marker! look well maintained. at least it's not jammed 5 times in a game like i played in mud trekker.

The protection vest. seem like way better than Mud Trekker . better protection.

here's out marker.it's loaded now.. ready for some war.

the warzone is out there. testing

ouch.. we're out.... being head shot! gosh.. waiting for next round..

my mask.. being shot in the head..orange blood i bleed..

and this is the damage after the war..got shoot in close range. what i like about this game is they don't have min firing distant. which also mean.. you can fire your opponent in zero distant (which is not recommended)

that's all Nexus Team. in the paintball war zone.looking forward for next outing :)

here is the map of "how to get there" for those who interested.

Kuala Lumpur Photography Fair 2011

2011-10-08T23:00:00.000+08:00

KLPF is here again. and this time.. i'm here to have a look of the sony new a77 dslt camera.

as usual, the entrance are place for photography magazine booth.

woot.. that's that? wait a minutes.. that's that's that what i here for.. the a77!! loaded with battery-grip.

yupe.. that's the 2 camera from sony. first public preview in Malaysia.. here is KLPF. that's a65 on the left and a77 on the right.. guess which camera i might bring home?

here's the a77 new triple hinge tillable LCD. nice huh? i like it!

and here more photo's of alpha camera..

there is something new in Nikon booth.. this is the Nikon new 1 Series.. is nothing like canon 1 series.. Nikon 1 series is Mirror-less camera. or should i say..new EVIL Camera.. Electronic Viewfinder Interchange Lens.

kinda colorful camera series..it's preview unit only.. no for sales...

talk about fancy EVIL Camera.. Olympus is the winner i would say.. check out their customized EVIL Camera...creative and fancy enough..

camouflage? gold plated? cheetah skin? and Heavy Metal?? wow.. unbelievable...

and here is some blink blink.. flowered. another gol plated? and polar beer? gosh.. is this still camera?

and some booth have their photo shooting session. which also caused the traffic congested

and in another corner.. there is a photo sharing session.. regarding their trip to somewhere.

and surprise surprise... i meet Sok Kim and Penny over there.

walk about.. and i saw a ladder photographer.. carrying his ladder. waiting for stage model shooting i believe.

and another surprise i spotted in this fair.. is the SIGMA professional grade DSLR. the Sigma SD1. it's the rare species i would say.

it's not a fullframe.. but it's Foveon X3 sensor that have huge 46 megapixel on it. and it cost RM 21k.. for a APS-C dslr Camera.. seriously. i think is seriously overpriced. you can get Nikon or Canon Fullframe Flagship dSLR with that price..

and here is more photo of the rare species Sigma SD1.

and here the used corner.. anything or any lens that you looking for?

And at Lee Photo booth, i spotted something.. a transformer camera? look a like. it have a flexible tripod foot that able to stick on glass. and then able o hold huge telephoto lens.. great.!

and further exploration.. and i spotted the Samyang 800mm f8. it's such a huge lens.. or should i say.. such a small compact lens.. for it's range league..

there its very popular Lomography camera sold here. if you burn film with lomo style. this is the right booth for you to stop by.

film loaded for lomo camera.. wonder how many photo's produced by this number or film.

all fancy fancy lomo camera can be found here.

and i like this kind of photo concept. a wall of lomo photos. great idea.. i wish to do this to my wall too.

and last but not least.. model shooting always available.. but.. just too crowded.. and don't feel like shooting model during this time. that's all for the KLPF 2011.

12 Classic Photography Tips

2011-08-19T11:26:00.002+08:00

12條經典攝影技巧

根求穩，念求新。去到某個程度….用什麼機也就沒關係了。希望這些資料對你有用啦！
攝影是一門技術，同樣也是經驗的積累。下面是無數攝影師的經驗匯聚而成的12條最經典、實用的攝影技巧Tips，將其熟記於心，將幫助你應對很多難以掌控的拍攝場景。

1. Sunny 16 Rule （陽光十六法則）
「Sunny 16 Rule」是在沒有測光表時，正確估算日光下曝光數值的方法，所以這條法則只有在陽光充足的情況下適合使用。將光圈設為F/16，快門與ISO同步，或者略快。如，ISO設為100時，快門應該設為1/100秒（1/125秒）。所以，根據這個法則，在海灘上攝影時，應該使用F/22光圈，在多雲時應使用F/11光圈。

2. Moony 11,8, and 5.6 Rules （月光11，8和5.6法則）
如果你想拍攝月亮，那麼這裡有一條很好的法則。快門與ISO同步的時候，拍攝滿月用F/11光圈，弦月的時候用F/8光圈，新月則使用F/5.6光圈。

3. Camera Shake Rule （相機抖動法則）
當你手持相機拍攝時，快門的速度不能小於鏡頭焦距的倒數。如果快門速度越慢，那麼拍攝抖動時就越可能降低銳度。如果用50mm焦距的話，快門就要達到1/60秒以上為宜，只有當環境實在昏暗時，用閃光燈、腳架或者把相機放在硬物上防止抖動。

4. Anatomical Gray Card （灰板法則）
隨身攜帶18%的中灰度板是拍攝的利器。可是如果身上沒有灰度板怎麼辦呢？可以將手掌攤開面向陽光，對手掌進行測光，然後加一檔曝光。

5. Depth of Field Rules （景深法則）
當被攝無題比較深的時候，應該對焦點選擇在景深的前1/3處，因為這樣，對焦點後的景深是之前的2倍。各種光圈和焦段組合都可以使用這個法則。記住，光圈越小，焦距越短，距離被攝物體越遠，景深就越大。

6. Largest Digital Print Rule （數碼沖印尺寸法則）
如果你想把你的作品打印成大尺寸的照片時，照片的尺寸不能大於數碼圖片的長寬像素各除以200.如果你對作品要求很高，那麼至少得除以250。

7. Exposure Rules （曝光法則）
在處理數碼照片時，最普遍的法則是保證高光區曝光準確，低光區隨他去。可是當處理負片，特別是彩色負片的時候，你最好增曝一檔。

8. Quick Flash-fill Rule （快速閃光輸出法則）
當你的相機不能自動輸出控制的閃光燈時，將閃光燈的感光度設為膠卷的二被。如果對主體測光，機身選擇光圈整檔，閃光燈設為同樣的光圈。這樣，照片的陰影區會比主體的亮度低一檔。

9. Flash Range Rule （閃光距離法則）
這個法則很簡單：距離乘以2，感光度乘以4。例如，你的閃光燈在ISO 100時，有效距離為20英尺。如果你想使閃光燈的距離達到40英尺時，則需要ISO 400。

10. Megapixel Multiplier Rule （像素翻倍法則）
如果你想使數碼相機的分辨率增倍，那麼很簡單，就是要像素翻兩番。

11. Action-stopping Rule （捕捉動態法則）
這條法則是根據角度與速度的經驗公式而來的。如果物體沿著鏡頭的軸線運動你能夠用1/125的快門捕捉下，那麼它追至於鏡頭軸線的運動能用1/500捕捉下來。也就是說，如果物體沿鏡頭軸線稱45度運動，只需要1/250的快門速度。

12. Sunset Rule （日落法則）
拍攝落日時，要對落日上部測光，但是不能讓太陽出現在你的取景器中。如果想讓日落看上去比實際晚一小時，可以在曝光補償中減1。

Transformer 3 in GSC Signature GoldClass 3D.

2011-07-16T22:35:00.073+08:00

Transformer 3 is screening in cinema! but then i unable to get nice ticket for it. and shin lee wanted to experience Gold Class Movie. so.. i booked the most expensive movie ticket ever. adn 1 week advance. surprisingly i'm not the first person book the seat.

Transformer 3: Dark Of The Moon.

Here we are at the entrance of GSC Signature. located at The Garden. this cinema only screen Premier and GoldClass. no cheap movie here..

Here's the Transformer Gold Class Ticket. hmph.. same like normal ticket. i tot special a bit tim.

The seat look comfortable, Shin Lee said she though is Massage Chair =_=. Blanket Provided. oh.. include 1 drinks with the ticket purchased. and drinks will placed on your mini table before movie start.

Here the Hall Of the Gold Class, only 5 rows and 4 pairs seats a row. and feel comfortable even in 1st row.

my advice is, if you feel a bit tired or sleepy. or the movie is boring. don't ever go for gold class, i tell you why, there is a big chance you will fall asleep under this soft comfortable chair.

That's is my Gold Class Exprience in GSC Signature. now.. let talk about the movie itself.

The Movie.. i heard a lot bad comment about it. so i didn't expect anything much from the movie. and i found it quite good.

first time i saw the trailer, it shows Sentinel Prime face, and i though that is the face Unicron which first make appearance in First Transformer Movie. when i noticed it's not unicron after all.

Unicron is can transform into mechanical planet. largest transformer. oh well.. it doesn't make appearance in this movie. for transformer.. my comment is.. don't try to relate it with any previous transformer series. treat it as a totally new transformer, you will find it kinda nice. if you try to compare wtih previous transformer. you will find a lot of thing doesn't make sense.well just a movie.. enjoy it.

there the damage.. RM142 for 2 "Gold Class" "3D" in "GSC Signature".

the 3D effect is awesome! it's very very details, too bad there is no IMAX3D in Malaysia anymore, if not i will go for second round for it. story line? hmph.. more to Sam Witwicky rather than transformers. the battle is awesome.. but they kill too fast.. running out of time? hmph.. anyway.. it's nice movie to watch.

when night fall, is time for night market again. and tonight we went to a not so famous night market.

it's kinda few people here. and mostly food. nothing interesting to look at. some stall/shop even didn't open for business.

as you see, the previous tour guide told me this is some sorf of.. old man night market.

and another group photo that proved we're here b4.

found a funny name stink beancurd. "口吅品麻辣臭豆腐". weird name...never see the words "吅" before.

and there is porn dvd for sell here. how i know? it say 18SX. lol.

wow.. this is classic!!! i can't imagine there is still someone selling these Tapes? there are cartridge for first generation 8 bit NES sistem (Nintendo Entertainment System), which mean... child today playing PS3, at my age, i playing NES. gosh.. show that i'm very old T_T.

out of sudden, the firework released.

AnnChing somehow stop by a gold fish stall, to find a uncle gold fish? guess she more interested in gold fish.

trying very hard to catch gold fish with that tiny piece of paper..

trying trying and keep tring..

managed to capture 1 gold fish.. but... while she feel very excited about it.. the gold fish jump back the it aquarium again.. pity little ann.

and there is a lot of these kind of entertainment system. and i have no idea how it works. some kind of ticket redeem machine?

and guess what , gas gun. and the street. which this is illegal in malaysia. but it common in taiwan. you can actually buy it form some stall.

i zoom in further and check it out. it metal finished, look at it. doesn't look like toy at all.

okay.. that's all for the night market. i would say this street is overrated. nothing interested to see here. maybe because of the drama called 西街少年 to make this street wellknown?

under the hot sun, grab some ice cream is a great idea. they made fresh cow milk ice cream here. can redeem with the entrance ticket.

further down.. what's that meant for? horse riding? i saw some horse there.

they showing how their local people ride their horse with style.

while waiting for them to gather. can get really close contact with these bee. and that all for it.

Three Button Mouse release to the market, mainly for Windows platform computer. hornestly... i used to owned 1 3 button mouse before (not this 1, much more modern design), somehow i can't recall what the middle button do.. most of the time my just left. right, left, right.

Ok.. that all for the History.. now the main topic.. how's the Mouse today look like..

Bio + Technology Mouse? hahaha, just a joke.. i not sure if this is real mouse..(ok look like a REAL mouse in real world). maybe just a doll with button underneat? or maybe just a Photoshop work, just to share out what i found :p..

Some of my friend mentioned about MAGIC Mouse from Apple, i wonder what magic it can bring? let check it out...

If you own an iphone, u should pretty well know what's Multi-touch, gesture and so on, well.. this mouse does a magic on that. it's a Multitouch mouse.. you can single click,2 finger zoom in/out, 3 finger flip/Next?.. it does the magic... too bad... i don't think it will do such a magic on windows, in fact.. i doubt it work on windows...

Apple Magic Mouse, if you iphone fans/owner, you will love this phone, it's basically a multi touchs mouse. watch the video for the explaination. it's very cool!

here come Magic Mouse Demo Video. check it out.

And i happen to found a Apple Mouse Family Group Photo.
2009 /Apple Magic Mouse
2005 /Apple Mighty Mouse (2006 /Wireless)
2003 /Apple Wireless Mouse
2003 /Apple Pro Mouse (White)
2000 /Apple Pro Mouse (Black)
1998 /Apple USB Mouse
1993 /Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II

1984 /Apple Macintosh Mouse M0100

Apple always Design driven approach, and it is always Clean and Simple. what about Microsoft? the other way round feature/function driven, stuff in as much as feature possible.

This mouse probably fake, and most likely is Photoshoped photos, but somehow it bring out Microsoft Characteristic, so i decided to place here for a share. did anyone really owned this mouse?

Some people just like to be unique, different from others, extraordinary..and this is the Cursor mouse that i found while googling. Mus2 computer mouse, can i call this one of the designer mouse ?

And i Never Though there is an Exotic Brand Mouse? the Lamborghini Mouse!! OMG! i wonder how much does this mouse COST! anyone own it ?? i wonder will there be Ferrari Mouse? Porsche mouse? hmph....

What's the most awesome mouse i found?? i believe is this Cyborg R.A.T 9. it's many ways customizable depends how the user want it to be,it's so cool.

from the physical outlook of it, it totally look like cyborg, it just so mechanical. look like tons of setting or customization can be done to this mouse.

So.. what can the mouse do? you can adjust the ergonomic of the mouse to perfectly fit under your falm, adding or removing weight of the mouse to suits your preference. parts replace.. and so on, you can fine tune it until you happy with it. it's a Ultimate Gaming Mouse i can say..

check out their official Demo video. see if you agree with me. it's nice.. but most of the feature.. i guess i just won't be using it..

Back to Very Initial question... Which Mouse will i bring house??

i think i go easy on this one, just a normal Logitech mouse will do :). the different ? no more Cables this time, i remember once.. my mouse got Ball!! recently you hardly see a mouse with ball anymore. okay.. that all for my Mouse Evolution Post :D

Alpha Convention 2011 Day 3

2011-03-13T21:22:00.003+08:00

Due to some reason, i didn't attend for the 2nd day Alpha Convention,so i will skip day day for the alpha convention and directly to day 3. :)

the very first thing i do in alpha convention. Light and Mist of Yuan Yang by Steve Chong.

Dragon and Rabbit. the Dark cloud on the left shaped like a dragon and the golden cloud shine up bu the sun shaped like a rabbit. together.. it form a fine piece of art.

Continue with Steve Chong Light and Mist in Yuan Yang and Grant Corban the famous Wedding photographer. Grant Corban were talking about "Wedding Photography and the business" explaining on how come calculation works before you quote the price.

a list that telling how to price your wedding correctly.. 4.5k is the cost only.. of course.. if you have complete set with you. which is 2 unit flagship dSLR, 1 set of Trinity Lenses (from 17mm to 200mm f2.8) . take 2 years to break even for charging their RM6211 per client. photography really good business??

portraiture session, grab your camera and give a try here.trigger their lightning equipment. haihz.. mine failed to sync with their equipment that day.

woot. the Models represent various country. a game session going on now. right here. don't miss it.

some random shot of the model in the convention. let me recall.. Japan, China and Vietnam?

Dancer behind the stage. stand by for the dancing in next few minutes.

and i happen to see this SHARK. ops.. NEX-VG10, the e mount Video Camcorder, an interchange lens handycam camcorder from Sony. it shared all e mount Lenses, means it share Lenses with NEX Interchange lens Digicam Series. alpha series lens also, if add in an adapter for it.

let see what else can be seen in this convention, there is a Thai Dance, Chinese Calligraphy, ohh.RedFM was here too. giving out lots of freebies. there also a booth for portraiture scratching. it's free~

then suddenly something caught my attention.. something white.. 70-200 f2.8G? but it's kinda big compare to 70-200G... could it be...

yupe. this couldn't be wrong. it's SONY 300mm f2.8G !! the ultimate rare lens.

Albert trying to mount this giant beast into his tiny NEX Camera. with his a mount adapter for NEX.

there you go, 300mm f2.8 G lens on NEX-3. almost can't see the camera from front view.the lens managed to fully covered up the camera.

of course.. i don't want to miss a chance to play with this lens. hehehe. it's HUGE!!! it make your dSLR look small.

at first.. i though this lens would be incredibly heavy.. hardly lift it with a mono-pod.. turn out that i'm wrong.. it's lighter then what i'm imagine. i checked the specification of it. it weight 2.31KG.

another front view of the 300mm f2.8G with sony alpha a850. look gorgeous.

what? RM24,999? for the lense behind it? serious? of course not this is the price of the Giant white beast. someone put his Carl Zeiss 24-70 f2.8 there as a Mortgage for loaning the 300G lens out to breath some air.

yupe.. that's all for Alpha Convention 2011. didn't get much freebies this time.. just a piece of my portraits scratch, 3 alpha convention badge. and tag. that all. hope to see another Alpha Convention again :).

My Nuang Mountain Expedition

2011-03-05T21:25:00.104+08:00

I've been waiting for exprience Nuang Mountain hiking for quite sometimes. and i finally did it. thanks to Dexter who organize this hiking trip.

Gunung Nuang can be divided into a few major sections:
1. Entrance/Parking
2. The long gruesome walk
3. Rest point
4. Dam
5. "Lolo" camp
6. "Hut" camp
7. Mid-mountain push
8. Mid-mountain campsite - "Pacat" camp
9. Summit push
10. The "fake summit"
11. "Nuang" summit

Our journey Begins at around 6:45am in the morning. we all carried touch light with us, cause the environment still pitch dark when we start. this pics is taken while the day is beginning to Britten up.

we reach the first stop. the Rest point (3). take a group photos before continue further.

the group of Nuang Mountain Challenger. there are 15 of us.

groups in action. moving in a team.

there's no bridge.. but a staircase.. guess we need to take the hard way. river crossing. this water is very shallow. so need not to worry about his.

see something behind there?we passing by the damn, and i believe that the Dam(4) operation room back there? covered with green's

after a while we passed the Dam, we saw this sign... oh great!! Kem Lolo this way.. and mean we're near!!

wow.. there's lot's of people's here. they all are scout from some school. camping here at Kem Lolo (5). we're are not alone in this Nuang Mountain. and it's around 8:30am now. nearly 2 hours hike, and the real challenge begin's after Kem Lolo. gonna be ready for that.

nothing interesting along the way. untill i saw this sign.. woohooo.i'm at Mid-mountain push(7)!! which is very near to Kem Pacat!

here we are at Pacat Camp(8). another Camp Site. seem like no one start their camp here yet. oh.. i'm here around 10:15 am, rest a while and continue to reach the Peak. don't let your body cold down.. start from here. i begins to face some leg cramp. begins to slowdown my steps. :(

after depart from Pacat Campsite, walk for around an hours.we saw this!! wooo, Nuang Summit!! we're near!!! don't too happy with it. it's the Fake Summit(10). just a rest point i can say.. it's not the real summit.. it's around noon now.. nearly 12:00 Noon. ah... just the fake summit.

another roughly 1 hours hike. finally.. i reach the Nuang Summit! and this is the real summit. yoohooo!! i did it! it's nearly 1pm now.. craving for food!! eat what ever i got!

3 mah lat lou photoshoot at Nuang Summit :p

the Prove of Nuang Mountain Peak. it's say 4898 FT. wow... just wonder why peoples like to vandalism on this place.. to proved that they were here? anyway, that's typical Malaysian.. kinda sad with it.

more environment photo shoot around the Peak. someone actually bring up TangLung to here. for celebrating Chinese New Year?? and there is a portrait of a guy here. i wonder who he is? i have no idea who he is. could anyone tell me?

and i notice this Stone!!! look at it! it's actually the Borderline of Selangor and Pahang. which mean.. i'm 1 leg stepping on Pahang ground and another of my leg stepping on Selangor Ground . doesn't that sound cool :D. hehehehe okay, maybe to me. after that. we're heading back to where we come from.. i start heading down at 1:30pm. better go down early else u will still in jungle when the sky turn dark.

look at the time... it's almost 6:15pm when i reach this Entrance (1). due to heavy rain while coming down.. there is no photo taken along the way.. my journey to Nuang Mountain is consider Complete now. oh my gosh!!! it took me nearly 12 hours to complete the mountain hiking. from 6:45am to 6:15PM. but i had a great experience :).

and for you who don't know.. Nuang Mountain is the Highest Mountain in Selangor. okay.. i conquered it! happy happy XD. add Nuang to my achievement list :D

Tabur Extreme, Done!

2011-02-13T15:40:00.005+08:00

the Sun just shine through the Tabur Extreme Entrance. Good Start.

meeting at the first check point..

someone shoe just rip apart... this could be a tough climb for him later.

Emergency Shoe Repair, hope it will last.

a U turn... let start the hike.. to the Tabur Extreme Peak.

Now i can see some City View from the mount.same view in tabur west.

that the Malaysia flag. they said is the 5th Peak. just one of the peak.

continue continue.. not much tough

here the same lake/dam that can be seen in tabur west and east.

let look closer.. hmph.. the island.. wait.. i think i saw something on that island.

there is some building on it.. is it some kind of research building ? or something?

approaching the peak of Tabur Extreme...

Gosh.. we spotted a Snake skin, it maybe still around.. wait.. i smell something.. rotten flesh.. okay.. it's a snake death body...

see this picture? u can see Tabur West and Tabur East in a Same Picture. yeah. mean we're arrived in the peak of tabur Extreme.

here show how which is Tabur West and Which is Tabur East. now, i can say i Climbed Tabur's completely West,East,Extreme.

The Extremer to challenge Tabur Extreme.

Gagah Berani, But Different? hmph... anyway that's all for my Tabur Extreme Series. not much obstacles photo, due to hard to climb with camera hanging on my nect. :)

I got you! Peleng 8mm! you're mine now!

2011-02-11T01:13:00.011+08:00

naughty hand of mine.. just bought another piece of glass home... it's extremely wide! widest of them all. and it's kinda fishy..

Tada~ the PELENG 8mm, f3.5. made in Belarus(Russia). too bad it's Fully Manual, but it's fully metal. hardly see people selling one of these out there. i'm lucky to found one, am i?

the Test shot with the Peleng. kinda like the flare, it's a Circular Fisheye on FullFrame, but since i using APS-C camera. it become almost Diagonal Fisheye. :) since it's Manual Lens, and M42 mount.. which is and antique lens.. and that why it won't cost a bomb like the recently announced Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM

The Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM, i guess beside Tokina, canon is the ONLY manufacture producing Fish-eye ZOOM lens. which can use as Diagonal Fish-eye or Circular Fish-eye on a Full Frame Canon dSLR.

What is Diagonal Fisheye and Curcular Fisheye?

Circular fisheyes create a circle in the center of the frame, surrounded by black, and are 180 degrees all around. like Left Picture

Diagonal fisheyes are 180 degrees from corner to corner, and they fill the frame...there's no black edges. Like Right Picture.

before i end this post.. let me share a legendary Fish-eye lens..

The lens is bigger than his head! yeap. that the rare Nikkor 6mm f2.8. you are right.. 6mm!! SIX MILLIMETER Circular. 8mm already 180° viewing angle. they said 6mm able to capture 220° viewing angle, mean u can see what's behind you??

here's another photo of it.. see how HUGE it is. and i bet u can imagine how heavy it would be. let me tell u.. 5.2 KG.

have you ever wonder how much this piece of gem selling out there? it's 34k USD!! 34,000,00 USD. oh boy!

Focal length/Aperture: 6mm f/2.8
Lens construction:12 elements in 9 groups
Picture angle: 220°
Diaphragm: Automatic
Aperture scale: f/2.8-f/22 on’ both standard and aperture-direct-readout scales

A77 is almost here, the A700 Successor

2011-02-10T00:43:00.003+08:00

today, i just simple check for some photography updates. suddenly i saw something cool. ( for me at least), so i decided to share here.

Tada.. the long awaits sony a700 successor? the a77? the semi pro dslr or dslt (Translucent). from the picture. we can see the selling point of this camera.

Translucent Technology,
which lead to faster FPS.which i not a fans of it,i still prefer old fashion Optical View Finder anyway..heard a77 view finder would be something special? let wait for it.

Exmor Sensor,
i was convinced by the ISO performance by a55. and i believe in a77 would be better. what i always wanted.. better ISO performance.

AVCHD Video recording.
erm... no comment about this 1, i doubt i will use it for recording.. it's as a bonus, in case need to record a HD video of something photo unable to describe?

here 's the first Transparent body SLT, possible working prototype of a77. let start guessing what sony would deliver from the the picture. :D from the picture above, we can see the D.O.F Preview is back! and the Infrared AF light.(which both doesn't exist in my old a300)

form this pic, we can see.. there is a mount(of course), the blank mode Dial.. PASM123? or preset mode? hmph... i hope i just hope there is a MR(MemoryRecall) still there.

hmph.. rumors saids a77 will support Compact Flash, Memory Stick Pro Duo, and SD card. judge from the image.. it maybe only Memory Stick and SD card.. oh.. i'm excited when i saw this picture. why? coz it's got a Tiltable LCD !!! that what i always hope for. great!!! another thing i wish to have. is the Dual Dial (for aperture and shutter). great!!

the top Info Panel.. hmph.. with my a300, i always look at my LCD, so the top panel i believe not that attract me, but anyway let leave it till the final production, and see how it goes. there is 4 button on top, make me remind Canon 50D button arrangement. hmph.. and the Nikon Power Switch.. i kinda like old Minolta Style Power Switch. and there is Mic Hole on top of the camera. and i believe this model doesn't come with Weather Sealed.

Key Feature i expecting from my next Sony Camera :

- Build In Super Steady Shot (it's a Must)
- Great ISO performance. (i want usable ISO above 1600)
- Customizable Auto ISO Range (a300 preset to 100 - 400)
- Faster Focusing Speed. (a300 is kinda slow...)
- Dual Dial for Aperture and Shutter.(time to train my thumb :D)
- Tilt-able Screen for Live View.(i use this a lot, so that why i want it)
- Auto ISO on Manual Mode. (currently, once switch to manual, everything is manual..)
- AF assist Light for lowlight photography(my a300 uses Multiple Flash).
- Bigger and Better View Finder. - faster Shutter Speed, like... 1/8000 :D

hope to see these in this baby.let's wait for the birth of it.
oh before i end this, this is the rumours spec from Sony Alpha Rumours

(latest rumours collected from SonyAlphaRumors sources):
- 24 megapixel sensor
- FullHD
- New advanced OLED(?) EVF
- UNCONFIRMED -> There were rumors (and also a Sony patent) about some kind of hybrid viewfinder
- ISO will go ‘up into the hundreds of thousands’
- price will be in the same area of the Canon 60D ($900-1200. Click here to check price)
- The A77 has a bigger and robust body compared to current SLT cameras.
- The A77 will not have a flip-up mode to allow shooting without this extra sheet of glass in place.
- It will take CF+SD+MS cards, of which you can use two at the same time.
- With the new battery you can take around 1.000 pictures.
