I'm Gonna Splurge!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Sorry, it has been some delay in that. Anyone I appreciated the gifts I got :) Thanks yo!

Just to sum up my holiday, it has been one of the most mundane 1 ever. Very unfortunate bout that. In no particular order of events:

• Work (both at office and programme)
• At home (online, sleep, 'nurturing' my soul...yeah rite, lol)
• Photo outing (notice its singular and not plural)
• Probably like 3 movie outings
• Yi Vern's birthday dinner
• Michelle's choir performance
• Online (I did it so often, it deserved to be mentioned twice)
• Office xmas party (its sure a fun 1 :) )
• BRATs Alternative (we old farts just love torturing the kids at brats camps)
  

What I failed to do:

• Going to Bukit Tinggi (oh gawd, please don't mention this place ever again to me, failed too many times)
• Trip to Bangkok
• To Putrajaya Botanical Park/Garden for photoshoot
• Celebrating Xmas countdown and Xmas (due to a few unforeseen stuffs)
• Gettin a tattoo (I'm just kiddin on this one)
• Have a less 'exciting' exam results
• Another trip to somewhere (potentially would be Bukit Larut, Malacca, PD or Penang)

As hard as I'm trying to relate back to the title of this post, I'm gonna splurge because I have worked for quite some time and I do have a very expensive hobby *hint* You do know where am I going with my pay chequeS right? ;) Since I've considered to save quite a sum by not going for any holiday trips.

*drums rollling*

Shutter Asia & PhotoMalaysia KL Outing

It's very random of me, but for the first time ever, I went to photo shoot with a bunch of forum people I've never knew/met in my entire life.
Turned out it wasn't that bad at all.

We met up at 8am in this mamak shop inside the KTM station at central of KL. Those mamaks must be wondering why the heck there are suddenly 30-40 people coming to their shop.

Yeaps, there are alot of people there. No kiddin. One of the interesting fact was that, probably I'm the youngest there 0.0
People of all ages (starting from my age of course), mostly around late 20's and mid 30's. Pros, amateurs, hobbyist, you name it.

Gotta admit that my battery acted weirdly. It went to 1 bar from full bars after taking a few shots. But heck, it lasted me until the very end of the outing which is bout 1pm or so.















This is my very first single raw file HDR attempt. It's too technical for me to explain what is High Dynamic Range. So feel free to google that up :D














Yeaps, somehow the organiser able to get a model for that day. So consider this as my first portrait attempt. Still kinda soft, haven't get used to the 50mm manual focus yet

The day my favourite childhood cartoon got killed

Product Shots

Due to certain reasons that I wasn't able to go for outdoor photo shooting. In case you're wondering, my outdoor photo shoot only revolve around nature, buildings, surroundings and probably some people. Never had any models to being with.

Stucked at home, I decided to just shoot some ordinary objects.

Nopes, this doesn't belong to me.


Originally for my photography assignment, but lecturer might want a poster instead of an advertisement.
