View all 4 photos...
Since I'm yet to try the advance shooting techniques, I'll start with one of the basic shooting functions found in my camera..which is Macro...the one that I'd longed to try...








U zoom sampai max ke? Sat 3-May-2008 14:40

EOS 450D....my new darling..

New darling

30th April 2008 was the day. The day when I decided to take photography more seriously than I’ve ever imagined. The day when my first dSLR was bought…EOS 450 D. Though it was pretty expensive..for a beginner like me..I guess, but I’ve been thinking about it since a few months ago well after I joined FMDC, Malaysia’s largest photography community. Those inspiring photographs from dedicated and talented photographers do have some influence on my taking the very first step. Doesn’t matter whether they are skillful or not, I’ll always admire those who passionately indulged themselves in making a picture speaks for itself, telling the whole world stories without even uttering a single word. That’s the power of photography….

To my late father, I just want you to know that I’m taking over….though I should have started long..long time ago when you first advised me to do so. I still keep your Olympus OM-1, which was used to photograph me when I was little girl. I hope that my children will keep my EOS450D when I grow old one day.

Friends who have helped me and are still helping me to learn…thanks so much. It was great to know people who support each others and share their views in my newly found interests. Vielen herzlichen Dank!


I dont know when is the next beginners' outing coz hari tu kan dah terlepas one session. Other outings are quite far away..outside KL/Sel area. Ada tu sampai ke Indon pun ada...I'll let you know la kalau ada..tunggu I pandai guna benda nie dulu... Fri 2-May-2008 15:39

Cameron Highlands..dalam kenangan

 
 
 
A few old pics taken way back by my hubby in 2005 during our family vacation in Cameron Highlands. The pics have been touched-up in photoshop by adjusting hue/saturation, brightness, curves with white and black borders added in to make the pics stand out.

Ok..let me try the above first..since t'row im working..weekend baru upload gambar laaa...mesti la kena edit dulu kan..

Workflow tips:
Why ur EOS 450D is better than the EOS 5D:
1) It uses the new Digic III processor while the EOS 5D uses the Digic II.
2) It uses 14 bit conversion while the EOS 5D uses 8 bit... it means that ur 450D recognizes more than 16,000 tones of a single colour.
3) It has over 12.0 megapixels ... more than enough to porduce professional quality images.
What all these means is that if used correctly, ur 450D can produce better quality images than the EOS 5D... but if used incorrectly, ur old compact camera will produce better images. So how do u use this camera correctly? Here are a few tips (this may sound too technical, but u must get this right or else u are not making full use of this camera):

1) Most important, u MUST calibrate ur monitor or else ur White Balance and Picture Style settings will not display the correct colour on ur monitor. Here's the easy way to calibrate ur monitor: Go to Control Panel and select Adobe Gamma (it should be there if u have downloaded Photoshop). Now, use the wizard and just follow the intructions on screen. U need to do this accurately with ur eye... it will b easier if u squint ur eyes a little bit while adjusting the colours. When prompted, select 6500k as ur monitor's White Balance. Complete the whole process and save the settings when prompted.

Tomorrow: As u have selected Adobe RGB in ur camera, u need to use Adobe RGB in photoshop and ur DPP software as well. Similarly, if u select sRGB in ur camera, u need to use sRGB in the DPP and photoshop as well. If not, there will b a conflict of colours between ur camera, DPP and photoshop. What this means is that blue in ur camera will not be the same as the blue in DPP and will also differ from blue in Photoshop. U need to have all these softwares to recognize the same tone of blue (or other colours for that matter) among them. Will show u how to do it tomorrow.

My Baby You.....

Balqish


As I look into your eyes
I see all the reasons why
My life's worth a thousand skies
You're the simplest love I've known
And the purest one I'll own
Know you'll never be alone

My baby you
Are the reason I could fly
And cause of you
I don't have to wonder why
Baby You
There's no more just getting by
You're the reason I feel so alive
Though these words I sing are true
They still fail to capture you
As mere words can only do
How do I explain that smile
And how it turns my world around
Keeping my feet on the ground

I will sooth you if you fall
I'll be right there if you call
You're my greatest love of all

Arianna I feel so alive

(My Baby You - Marc Anthony)

Tanjung Lumpur..edited

Tg Lumpur
Tg Lumpur in B&W
Just learned a few techniques in Photoshop today. The earlier photos at Tg Lumpur entry has been given a face-lift to add more vibrant colours to it, using Channel Mixer. But I still feel that the earlier photo looks more natural than this one.





Try in monochrome pulak;

nak calibrate monitor tu untuk apa? Im using desktop la..ingat nak beli laptop tapi dah nak beli camera pulak..jadik laptop tu kena postpone la dulu. Thu 17-Apr-2008 14:50

Sebelum Cahaya.....

Beach#1
Beach#2
Beach#3
Penang escapade...Teluk Bahang beach taken at almost dusk, the day before the sunset pics (of the earlier entry) were taken.






Ku teringat hati
Yang bertabur mimpi
Kemana kau pergi cinta

Kekuatan hati
Yang berpegang janji

Genggamlah tanganku cinta
Ku tak akan pergi
Meninggalkanmu sendiri
Temani hatimu cinta

Ingatkan kau kepada
Embun pagi bersahaja
Yang menemanimu
Sebelum cahaya

Ingatkan kau kepada
Angin yang berhembus mesra
Yang kan membelaimu cinta

(Sebelum Cahaya - Letto)

As I was buying my daughter’s first skincare products for girls today, little that I realized that my baby girl is blossoming into a young lady already. The time just flew so fast as it seems only yesterday that I was carrying her in my tummy and having tough times surviving the 9 months pregnancy. Bringing her into this world wasn’t easy too that I had to undergo C-section after 12 hrs of labour pains.

Raja Kamelia bt Raja Ariffadhila will turn 10 this coming June. Besides being a class monitor, she is also a one of the top 10 students in her school, a librarian, and is very active in sports. My little princess is the school netball player, she is also a long-distance runner. She’s passionately involves in the school dance and theatre and was chosen to represent the country in the children folk dance festival in Sicily, Italy somewhere in December (don’t know whether I want to let her go or not). And most importantly, I am very proud that she would be finishing reciting Quran in the next couple of month.

These are her photos taken when she was between 3 months to 6 months old.






Kamelia - One month old, smiling all the way...

Sunsets...edited in Photoshop

 
 
This is the result of the editing done to the photos using layers and curves in photoshop 7.0. The experiment was conducted on my teacher's favourite pics, Sunset#3 and Sunset#4 of my previous entry. OK tak Cikgu?
