Olympus Macro Flash System - Ring Flash Set SRF-11 & Twin Flash TF-22

Last year I bought a new accesories for my E-500. It is a second hand Olympus Macro Flash System. The system consists of Ring Flash Set SRF-11, Twin Flash TF-22 and Flash Adapter Ring FR-1. I rarely used it and had been kept in my drybox for very long time. Well, I have to go for more macro outing so my money won't gone wasted on it (this system is very expensive!!).

Olympus Macro Flash System...

Below are some photos taken with this system coupled with Zuiko Digital 35mm F3.5 Macro lens...

What do I think about this system?

I really like this flash system. This system really can give you very nice macro photos with it's lighting, although some photos above are underexposed. Well, you really need experience in controlling the flash. It is a good flash system for indoor and product photography and also a great fill-in flash for outdoor photography. I will try more outdoor photography with this system in the future...

Superheadz Plamodel Camera *Updated*

Few days ago, Mr. Poslaju dropped me a parcel. I bought a very cheap lomography camera to have a try on 'analog' lomography because some peoples from a community are so critical at my way of converting normal images to lomography images digitally...

I ordered the camera in light blue packaging and it looks really nice... :D

Well, the camera is not completely assembled, all the parts were separate and I need to assemble the camera by myself. I loves this kind of stuff. That's why I choose this camera...

Once I opened up all the packages, I starts assembling the camera...

Superheadz Plamodel Camera

Specs of the camera...


Product name: Plamodel Camera
Brand: Superheadz, Japan
Lens: 28mm wide angle lens
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Aperture: f9.5
Dimensions: 113 X 63 X 35 mm
Film type: 135 (35mm) film
Camera type: Compact camera


So from now on, I can take 'analog' (or original) lomography pictures with this camera. This is a fully mechanical camera, no battery or any electronic involved in this camera. I felt good when using this camera. But with only 36 exposures in a roll of film, you really need to think twice before snap on the shutter button... Hmm..do you really need to think twice in lomography???...  :D


I had finished up a roll of slide film with this camera. Will upload some pictures here once the roll processed and scanned. Stay tuned... :D


*Update*


Some pictures from my first roll of film...Enjoy...  :D

Like the effect of the pictures?...  :D

Fire in Town

While coming back from Kuala Lumpur to my workplace this afternoon, I saw a small thick black smoke raising to the sky. Initially I thought it was from some illegal burning in some area. While getting closer to my workplace, the smoke become more obvious and thicker. So, I drive to that smoke area to see what really happening there.

It was not illegal burning. It was old shophouses on fire, real huge fire. The fire was three-storey high from what I observed. The shophouses has a history of more than 60 years old and made of wood and were consist of car workshops. That's why it was so easily burned. The heat was so great even I can feel it in my car while passing by the burning shophouses...

Below are some of the pics taken from my ailing camera phone. All pics were taken while i was driving (I did not stopped to see the firemen save the shophouses) and the quality of the pics is really bad... :)

Malaysia 12th General Election

Today is a big day for Malaysia, the 12th General Election. This is also my first time cast vote. Below are some pics taken along the way I went to cast my vote. Some of the pics was taken by my sister, as I was driving that time. She is potentially a good photographer... :)



























Which government I'm voted for? It's a secret... :D
