Photography Assignment

I've totally forgotten bout this poster assignment for my photography subject in UKM. Thanks to Esther for reminding me bout it :)

It was from my previous Pangkor photos set. Yeaps, I'm very pleased with this pic for many reasons. One of it is that it was worth waiting for that winged guy to look up instead of muching nonstop with its beak down.

AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D

Title says it all. Its my very first lens purchase!

Bought it for RM360 at J-One which I booked and waited for a week or so. Can't really blame anyone since its selling like hotcakes. Cheapest Nikon lens and rated as one of the few sharpest lens.

I can't really tell how sharp it is until I bring it out for field test.


Both taken at max aperture of 1.8. Looks pretty sharp to me.
Btw, there's barely anything nice to be photographed in my room. Even the lil koala fella are kinda covered with dust.

But the depth of field/bokeh is amazing :D

-Enabling Electronic Rangefinder in D60 for Manual Focus-
This took me quite a while to figure it out k. This is a feature in D60's cam where the electronic rangefinder will take over the exposure bar and tells you how far/near you are focused.

1. Setup menu > CSM/Setup menu> Choose 'Full'
2. Custom Settings Menu > Go to no. 19 and just choose yes for 'Rangefinder'.

Thats it!
So now on ur viewfinder, you will still see the indicator bar somethin like <........0........>
When its focused, it will be shown as <.......| 0 | .......>, not the exact 'illustration' but you'll get the drift of it.

Awana Kijal

I think I should really stop taking sunrise/sun set pics. Lol. Its gettin a little boring for both of you and me :P
It's a sunrise btw, for those of you who have no idea whether the sun rise from the east or west.

I was back again at Awana Kijal Resort, Terengganu. What can I say, I'm really running out of ideas on shooting an empty beach.
1/4 of the time I was aiming to get a shot for my new desktop wallapaper. So pardon me if you noticed some similiar compositions
