Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) - Team China

Some small info on this interesting event http://www.mifc.com.my/mifc08/index.html. Went there on Saturday evening with Dominic and his gang brought Yew Wei along also.. At first i thought we aren't gonna go there anymore as i lead him to use the longer way to get to Putrajaya. Well, the next thing is that his car refused to speed and keeps dying everytime it exceeds 60kmph.. WTH??... i thought all of us are gonna get down and help him push the car all the way back to his house in Sentul.. But thank god we did not and we aren't gonna too.. Anyway reached his so called cheap 200k serviced condos in Sentul and managed to switch cars to continue our journey to Putrajaya..

We arrived there kinda early and managed to eat something sold at the stores nearby.. Its like a mini bazaar while waiting for the sky to turn dark.. While doing so, we kinda look out for our nice spots to camp our gears but those security people keep chasing and shooing us off.. We had no choice but to keep walking to find our spot to camp.. in the end we managed to climb up to the PICC building to camp on the slope after walking about 4-6km.. Saw alot of pros with their white bazookas and red rings but no sign of black gold ringed ones.. =P.. Way to go Canon.. Show N**on the power of the white side.. =P

Anyway.. My fireworks shots did not turn out well as i expected but don't worry i will be back next week.. Lol.. If possible i could bring someone else along as it is a very nice and romantic show tonight... =P...

The pictures.. Enjoy..=D

The Colors Of Chinatown Terengganu ( Part 2)

Its Friday today!!.. I'm kinda happy as college ended at 9am today .. Quite early huh.. Nikolas came and picked me up at MCD SS15 and took me to check out the photo studio in Segi College.. I must say the studio is spectacular as there is like so many big light tents and backdrops. Besides that, it is one big spacious studio also.. While at the College we also managed to check out the darkroom which is used in olden days to produce quality black and white photos.. Wow!.. i must say this is the first time experience for me as i have never been into a darkroom before.. =P.. Anyway, the results of the prints produced in a traditional darkroom is far much better than those produced in Photoshop.. Well, i think im getting poisoned by black and white photography already..=)

Anyway, today is a boring day managed to finish the PP work for few more pictures.. and i think i left a few more RAW files in my hard disk that needs to be converted and PP-ed... Gahhhh.. I'll do it tonight.. =D

Pls feel free to comment and also for me to improve.. Will be going to Putrajaya with Dominic and his gang tomorrow in Putrajaya.. Till then.. thats all.. =P

The Faces and People Of Terengganu ( Part 2 )

Yesterday was unbelievable. Got a call from Enlin in the morning and was told that my 50mm Cannie lens which broke into 2 pieces that day was ready for collection and the best part is.. Canon replaced a new lens for me.. That's right..new.. and absolutely brand new and for free.. When i first saw my baby i noticed the exterior is totally free of scratches and the optics are perfect.. Woohoo.. new lens and way to go Canon..You're delighting Me always.. =P... Anyway, managed to collect my Tammy 17-50 f2.8 after i finished college.. That lens is superb.. Sharp, solid, Spectacular.. Although kinda noisy during focusing but the sharp pictures produced made me feel worth it for an affordable f2.8 fast aperture lens..=P

Sorry as i don't really have the pictures of the 2 new members of my drybox.. But, i'll post the pictures of them when i am in the mood to do studio shots.. Anyway, some more pictures from my recent holiday series in Terengganu.. Enjoy..!=D
