What do you when you lose belief and faith?

Tell me.

*thank you jimmy for loaning me the 28mm*

Ok. I went for a photo session in Pulau Jerjak last Sunday and here are some of the shots i have to share with you. Will upload more in my Flickr soon.

This is the first attempt, so don’t expect much but please criticize because i want to improve.

Criticize positively if possible.I appreciate it.

“Multi segment focus” in between those arm pits

“Spot focus” on the thigh

I bet these two picture tells you something.

Let me tell you what i have learned from that outing :

• So(too) many ‘kiasu’ photographers around. Trying to get as close as possible to shoot the model, macamlah want to macro shot the bulu ketiak or to check if the model shave her nose hair last night or not. I didn’t went close to shoot those bulu ketiak, i made use of my zoom lense. If everyone stay at a distance, everyone will get a good shot.Fair enough.
• Some thought they are the only want paying for the models. They are models and not prostitute paid to serve you alone. Stop telling and asking the model to look at your bloody lense or flash. The model will be professional enough to look at every lense.
• Saw a few trying to capture those ’special’ shots or moments. Specifically shoot the ’specific assets’ of the models, or stay so low to shoot ‘moments’ when the models lift their legs or change of position…really low. If you get what i mean.
• In future, i will not be carrying my laptop, its either extra CF card or iPod to transfer pic.Silly me.
• You can shoot 700 pics but 50% of them are thrash.At least that applies to me.
• 10/9 or maybe 11/10 photographer carries a Lowepro backpack. Some carry 2.I will buy one Lowepro if they come out with better colour way.
• Man will be man. You know they are man when the bikini session is on.
• If you ever see the term ABBB in any forum. It was from me and it means ‘Ah Boi Bong Bong’ or literally translated to At the Back Blur Blur a.k.a bokeh.

Apa yang sama antara dua gambar ini?

Seluarnya.

A very random post..likely you may not understand what i m talking about.

1. I have been TWITTERING, TWITTERING and more TWITTERING. Oh please follow me @ twitter.com/ndru. I am a Tweetwhore according to some.
2. Seriously i somehow don’t know what to blog anymore (hope this does not last). There are things that i want to blog but the negativity of it stops me so I couldn’t be bothered.
3. Some ‘exciting’ projects and prospects are coming up but again it depends heavily on how are we going to tackle the opportunity. By speed, neglecting the quality or with passion and quality. Sometimes such decisions are not meant for us to make. Well..
4. Health wise..some improvement but still not very happy with it. Need to exercise !!
5. Bought heaps of dart stuff from madondarts.com to ’show off’. Skills is way below standard.
6. Waiting for my iPhone, lil worried that it will never arrive. Don’t ask why i need an iPhone when i already have a Bold.It’s just me. Anyone wants to buy my Curve 8820?
7. Got a new company laptop after frying my motherboard.Avoid AMD!
8. I miss my brother very much. He is on Twitter @ twitter.com/danieltanmc
9. Thank God my headache sudah kurang.
10. Blackberry & Twitter changed the way i poop. You will know what i mean if you have one.
11. Work is still work. Pretty much the same.
12. The end. Please suggest what can i blog about. If your topic is choosen, i will buy you a Threadless tshirt.

New purchase but i might be selling off the lense soon. Good deal again.

Lets’s not talk about the music in this video clip but i am going to tell you why this clip is such a failure.

Watch carefully, there is this one dumb videoman carrying his video camera running around and on the stage capturing the performance.I bet you don’t see this ‘additional man’ when you are watching Grammy, Emmy or Oscar.

Come on, tell me how stupid can this be?What is the event organiser thinking?

I was just hoping that the videoman will trip and fall, then the focus will be on the ‘kelam-kabutness’ of him falling rather than the callaboration between Hujan and Meet Uncle Hussain.

Anyway syabas Meet Uncle Hussain, you guys rock but you guys need to come out with more songs la. I was lucky to work with these guys and i must say they are real humble and nice. Hope to see you guys soon and selamat maju jaya!

I don’t take good photos. God made everything beautiful and that is why my photos turn up pretty. Full set at my flickr

To love May i need to do :

1. Get out more - for the right reasons
2. Take more photos
3. Exercise
4. Sleep right, eat right

Just 4 things i need to do to get myself fit.

Today i broke up with April !

April hasnt been treating me right since day 1 and i had reasons to break up and hate April.

I had my reasons..

1. On our date, along with Suzie i had two flat front tyre and to make things more ‘interesting’ it happened on a Sunday, where Mr Michelin is not around to help me. Along with Suzie, i managed to arrived at Jack’s shop for a change.

2. On a wet Thursday, my car battery died on me in one of the most demanding and challenging carpark i have ever been - Intel PG12 with heaps of signboards, nearly everything is one way, and you need to be super cautious just in case one you come to close to one of the ‘engineers’. Read my twitter post here. Thanks to Hui and Jack, my car battery was fixed.

3. If flat tyres Round 1 was not bad enough, my new tyre valve were leaking, meaning it releases air gradually but surely. Again it happened on a Sunday after a family buffet at E&0. Drove into 3 petrol kiosk before i finally manage to fill some air in. Waited till Monday morning before it was fixed. Another stressful weekend !

4. Was sick for i dont know how many days. 3 sessions with doctors, 16 packets of medicines, 3 different types of antibiotic (it get stronger each time), RM99 for medical bills, 3 days of MC, but.. the weirdest of all - i was ‘rove bug bitten’ and that will leave some scar on me. It was a love bite on my neck that i did not ask for ! My nose bleed for a good 1 minute or more today and that somehow freaked me out but i am glad my thing for April is done by the end of today.

I am done with April, and i will be dating May tomorrow. Happy Labour Day!
