D.I.Y. Fisheye Lens
Since I bought my E-500, I had been dreaming of a fisheye lens. But until now, I still cannot afford one. What I like about the fisheye lens are the effect of the round distortion and it can cover super ultra wide angle of sight... Read More...

First hour of Lunar Chinese New Year

Every year, when the clock strike 12.00am on the eve of 30th day of last month in chinese calender, it's marked the first day of Lunar Chinese New Year. As usual, almost every chinese home, who are Buddhist or Taoist in religion, will start the god praying ceremony (as in every first and 15th day of every month in chinese calender) and the famous God of Prosperity Invitation (Jip Choi San) ceremony. The said two ceremony can be done at the same time. My home is not excluded from this two ceremony. Below are some shot I taken...

Enjoy...

Chinese New Year Decoration in Home

After having our Dinner of Togetherness (Tuan Yuan Fan) on the day before Chinese New Year, we still have 5 more hours for the God of Prosperity 'Invitation' (Jip Choi San) ceremony. It's really a long wait for me... So, I take my camera and go around my home for snap, snap, snap... This year my home was not heavily decorated as year before because my home had just went thru a heavy renovation...Everything looks just new and nice... So, my mother and sisters just bought some flowers and decoration thingys to do some mild decoration in my house. Below are some photos i shot that night...

Kuala Lumpur...Wandering......

On 16th February 2007, I went to Kuala Lumpur for some Pre-Chinese New Year(CNY) photoshooting. I start my 'wandering' around 3:30pm from Miharja LRT-STAR station and end at 7:00pm, before I went for Pre-CNY dinner with my colleagues. That day was rainy day...so not manage to get much shot.

Enjoy...

Minimoto ShootOut

VVvvvrrrooommmmmmm!!!!!!!..............

The exhaust sound is not as loud as F1 car. The body is not as bulky as MotoGP. The rider is as young as 6 years old. The track is as short as 300 meter. That's Minimoto sports. What is Minimoto??? Minimoto's size is one third of MotoGP attached with less than 100cc engine. The minimoto is only suitable for children to teenager from age 4 to 14 years old...

On 3rd February 2007, my colleague and I went to Minimoto track near my working place to try out motorsport photography. This is also my first try on motorsport photography. Well, it is not as easy as what written in photography magazine about motorsport photography. I having difficulty during whole period of shooting session. The difficulties I encounter :
1) shoot at night
2) close distance
3) lens' F-stop not big enough

From 200+ photos I shot on that night, only less than 10% can be used but not in good quality (still a little blur). The whole shootout session is a real useful experience to me. I will try again in near future. Below are some 'good'(considered..) shot for you to critiques......... Enjoy...
