ive been seriously not been taking enough photos lately, as in serious photography stuff, heres a share of me with the 50mm at debate training. FX has set this lense on a whole new plane. its like it was built for it.

oh where could laura be?

sarah marlena from bukit merah. (no not really actually)

the last time i took such an ohp shot was back when i brought my nikon em to school. i think ive found a sweet spot aperture at 2.5. awesome!

a new lense!

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 09:14:21 GMT

okay i havent updated in 7 weeks gosh! okay let me restart with a fresh new edition to the fleet.

its a vivitar! 19-35 3.5-4.5. performs well. ts my new working lense!

i seem to have this thing for the red line.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 06:41:26 GMT

so its Ms Catherine's birthday. we headed out for a picnic at the botanical gardens after a rather shitty night before. anyway.

recently i've been quite fascinated by my lenses. ive decided to push them to their limits. forget sunny 16 rule. this is called wide open photography. i bet your zoom lense cant compete no matter how much u paid for it.

50mm at 1.4

this baby was so cute. kept wanting his ball.

then there was this issue of the tower of ritz and tuna.

then one nice group photo.

35 1.4

and off we got HIP HIP HOORAH!

LIVERPOOL!

and so they came and went. i caught their training session and the actual game against the singapore lions (or rather kittens). 200mm was way not enough. not even by a long shot. but i was there to enjoy not to shoot. but i was so engrosed in the game i was shocked when i took up a glance at the sky and it was such a dramatic scene. awesome.

back to the Ol school

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 05:42:27 GMT

i havent updated this blog in 6 weeks. thats rare on my part. but doesnt mean i havent been taking any photos.

so here is to share two i took 2 weeks back. old school style. using just a torch light and a lamp! with the 55mm 2.8 ais micro mounted on my d700.

daniel lent me this beauty on a long term t loan. now that he is in australia.

a monster on full frame. sometimes u have so much to take u dont know what to take.

the 55 is so damn freaking sharp even wide open. brilliant

i shoot because i can.

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:21:39 GMT

why shoot at twenty five thousand six hundred iso? its because i can.

firstly happy birthday mr chua JT. we had a good chit chat at nasrins for an hour and a half or two. of course no lack of phototaking there.

the next i met nick. after his return from LA.

the cards are awesome!!

this is to irritate him. haha

my virgin batch.

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:56:10 GMT

well i did come in half way. thanks to certain unnecessary requirements. however i had fun. made friends. from commandos from SCDF and of course the service dudes. its been a steep learning curve. and more or less i have managed to mold a little of myself to fit the requirements of an instructor. of course where possible i have made this appointment my own and do it the way i deem fit within boundaries of course.

anyway, the POP was awesome. i had a great time photographing. i wish i could do more of that.

3 contingents my service got merged into platoon 1.

WO Mazlan. hes freaking awesome. respect.

Qi kai. my SI for this batch.

instructors.

camwhore

Sun, 24 May 2009 18:20:37 GMT

NO NO NO. camwhoring with this is not allowed. got a cool shot though.

wow 35mm is wide enough huh.

9 frames in just over a second.

Sat, 23 May 2009 09:00:29 GMT

this is is just one af the few things i know to do when i can take so many frames that quickly.

lol

a new age.

Fri, 22 May 2009 08:05:06 GMT

Ladies and Gents, a new age has dawned. its the age of full framed lenses, excellent noise control. and plain more awesome photographs. as if they werent awesome already! alright ego here! anyways. check out this shot of cheryl i took. its using the nikkor 20mm prime. HOW FREAKING WIDE IS THAT!?!?!

awesome. one off shoe flash. and a reflector to fill. its a picture that made me go ohh my gosh. i hope it had a similar effect.

35mm meets nasrins

Thu, 07 May 2009 21:31:40 GMT

haha. i brought out my cam to tag along with me armed with the new 35. awesome shots.

not the best of shots, but i love the "fireflies" when virgin charcoals hit the furnace!

its finally here!

Sat, 02 May 2009 06:50:32 GMT

oh my gosh ive been waiting for this for damn long time.

35f2!

abbas and the car

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:55:02 GMT

he had spotted it. i made a turn about and we decided to record this vehicle.

one flash wireless. 5 minute pit stop. awesome.

more from the 35mm.

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:42:00 GMT

i fell in love with the 105. however it had its limitations, it was manual focus and rather long. ive been drooling over the 35 for much time now and after paintball i found out why. its an awesome "take photo of friends" lense!

that MnC for you.

paintball.

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 05:02:08 GMT

it was an awesome day. eventhough a little sleep deprived and i had been constantly delaying the need to rest, i was probably running off the energy from the people around me. i borrowed a 35f2 and the results were just fantastic. sharp, contrasty. you honestly cant ask more from a lense.

at the checkpoint on the malaysian side

after our last game. i got shot in the eye even after being "killed". obviously the other team was a little too trigger happy. after a shower and a quick bus ride down to singgah selalu for dinner which was an awesome way to end it all. we all had our own meals plus drinks plus ice kacang plus shisha and we paid 8 sing per person. fantastic. you cant get better at twice the price

my favourite place in the world

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:39:21 GMT

at least one of la.

more beauties from the 105. seriously

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:25:37 GMT

oh my gosh the lense is GODLIKE. hahah. i absolutely love it. its awesome.

105 is made of awesome.

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 09:29:00 GMT

shit man. i borrowed Jts 105mm 2.5 and its just simply a great lense. sharp wide open contraty all by iteself its what legends are made of.

brilliant!
