Fruitful day

Alright 1 more day to redang!!! Preperation for the trip has been good so far. I bought a circular polariser filter at AP for 175 bucks. Oh that really hurts... Anyway, I need it to get beautiful scenery shots of Redang. In addition, I bought another 2 Gig CF card and of coz something for myself other for my camera, a smells good Nivea sun block. Woo hoo!!! O.K for this trip I have emptied the "star" tank. Yup that's rite, all the hard work that I accumulated will be spent on this trip!!!

Anyway I am more interested in taking pictures at Redang. So I took out my polariser and snapped away Wahahahaha!!!!
O.K here is the verdict. The circular polariser has the ability to get rid of unsighty reflections.

I know these pics turns some of my fellow work mates off. Wait till you guys see this!!!

Don't tell me he is thinking of buying a multimeter!!!

O.K enough fooling around here are some other pics I had taken.

A photo of my friend alex. This was shot through a glass panel at a book store how about that!!! The power of polariser!!!
Same thing here for this spider-man comic book

A thinking pose

I am very happy my fren Yim decided to lend me his 50mm 1.8/f lens. This lens can be quite useful for producing a good bukkeh(background blur) But for head shots, subjects head then to be a bit rounder thus making them look "fat". After much experimenting I found it work best when taking heads and shoulders or up to waist length for portraits. I have also tried taking still life pics using the lens. I still find sigma 17-70mm f/2.8 to be versatile enough for many occasions. But a zoom lens is a must for me to add in my repertoire of ever expanding camera equipment. Below are some photos...






It's really getting a bit boring using Alex as my model all the time when I tried out my new gear. (I can't really tried out stuff during assignments t00) Guess what? Alex recommended a good fren of his to become our model. I am so grateful she came, any more pictures of Alex and people might think that we are gay. Here are some pics of our model (Name cannot be disclosed for security reasons). Guys, don't even think about it. I will personally "hantam" you if you try to be funny!!! Hi, if you are reading this and wants the photos to be taken down. Just drop me a message in the comment page or chat box ya!

Fantastic Smile

Deep in thought


Cool water!!!

Body of the week (4) Winner


The Southern Girl



Brooke burns, born in Dallas Texas March 16 1978 is an American actress/fashion model. She is best known for her role in Baywatch and Baywatch Hawaii. You can easily see why...Her smile, tone body and personality just takes over the screen set.




"I'm a Southern girl. I like when they open the door and pull out a chair. I'm really into a man's man"

Brooke Burns was once married to Juliam McMahon, with whom she has a daughter named Madison in 2001. She was engaged with acton star Bruce Willis from 2003 to 2004 but broke off due to trouble keeping up with long distance relationship.



O.K enough of her personal stuff, I'm no nosey parker you know. What is her secret to a healthy and beautiful body. The truth is I can't find her workout regime. What I manage to find is her love for outdoor sports and activities. She loves hiking, swimming, scuba diving and horseback riding. Truely a southern girl indeed. Probably that is the reason for the overwhelming votes of her being the body of the week (4).



Brooke burns was a contender to be a world class ballet dancer before she had an accident that prevented her from executing those elastic and flexible ballet moves. She was also a competitve swimmer before her modelling and acting career took over. Not giving up and being resilient she rise to fame through her stunning athletic beauty and warm personality.





Speaking of personality, Brooke Burns is also a Mentor for PennyLane, a home for children abused. Wow!!! Now how many celebrities actually does this kinda thing anymore.
