After attending a wedding dinner at Overseas Restaurant, PGRM Cheras, me and my girlfriend went over to Seri Kembangan to watch fireworks. Luckily we managed to make it an hour and a half earlier. So, we took a walk around the celebration area. There were quite a lot of people at the concert area. We tried to look for a spot where I can take photographs of the fireworks. As we sat down, I noticed

This morning, me and my girlfriend rushed back to Melaka. We received news that her house is affected by the flood that hit the state. Since her house is located next to Sungai Malim, it is easily flooded when the water in the river overflows. I avoided the usual road from Alor Gajah and took the exit at Ayer Keroh instead as I do not want to go through the flooded zone. From Ayer Keroh, the road

I attended Nikon's workshop at Menara PKNS, Petaling Jaya today. Andrew Boey and Sean Liew were there to give an introduction to this new DSLR and its capabilities. It started a bit later than 8.30am and finish after 1.00pm. This workshop also require the participants to shoot some still objects on a table and later projected onto the whiteboard for comments by the 2 commercial photographers (

I was shooting a camping activity in the park with the D70 (with 1GB Kingston CF) and suddenly the shutter jammed! I look at my camera and checked on the LCD screen and the top indicator. everything is normal except that remaining balance of shots was replaced by 'CHA'. I took out the battery and put it back in again. I was able to shoot again but just for a few shots and it happened again! So i

I don't exactly remembr the actual date which I bought the D80 but should be before 28 October 2006 because that is the day when I brought my D80 for a test in the paddy field in Melaka. I love this camera. D70 is still being used but as a backup mainly for assignment and letting my girlfriend to use it when we go out to the field together.

I was given an opportunity to cover denny & simyee's wedding on 29/10/2006. This time around it is a morning-til-night assignment. Very tiring and challenging. Batteries went dead during morning session! Have to remind myself next time to carry more batteries in the bag. Since I just bought a new D80 and a Tokina 12-24mm, I use it along with the D70 + 18-70mm lens. That means 2 cameras to cover

Today is Danny and Sim Yee's ROM. I was invited to take photographs of the memorable event for the couple at Thean Hou Temple and Courtyard Garden.

Since getting the 50mm lens and the reversed adapters, this is the 3rd time I'm using it. For today, I tried it with a +4 closeup filter. First photo shows the chinese writing on my ring with the closeup filter while the second photo taken with the filter. I tried this at night so the lighting was not bright enough. I pushed the ISO to 1600. Powered by Qumana

As usual, the CCD is again dusty. yeah, I've heard people saying the D70 is a dust magnet. Since I purchased this body, I've sent it for cleaning numerous time even before Nikon shifted their office. Well, it only took 10 minutes and I'm back in action again. Powered by Qumana

At last, after placing my order with a local retail camera shop, I got my 'cheap' macro lens combo consisting a Nikkor 50mm f1.8, BR-2A, BR-3 and a HOYA filter. It is really difficult to play with this combo because everything has to be in manual setting. DOF is very shallow. Have to train hard in the coming months with this combo. Powered by Qumana

I had been sending my D70 for regular servicing and adjustment of back-focusing since purchasing it in May 2004. My girlfriend previously asked me to shoot some pix during her graduation on 24th May 2006. So,prior to that I decided to send my camera for servicing to ensure everything is ok. well, my usual problem is back-focus and dust on the CCD. This time around, I replace the lid for the CF
