CG Photoblog

A tiring week it was.

Had my final paper on Tuesday and was studying very hard for this particular subject because it was the toughest one.

Then went to 4 secondary schools in 3 days for education fair and career talk.
1 in Kepong & 3 in Negeri Sembilan and had to wake at 5.30 am for the Negeri Sembilan trip.

However, it’s an eye opening one, as I’ve never been to Bahau and Rantau district of Negeri Sembilan (not to forgot, I’m earning some pocket money too. XD)

Anyway, this is just another random update.
I have been surfing and reading websites that teach vintage style photoshop effects, but never really try it out.
So, my first try on this effect.

Photo was shot during my trip to Pahang, when I went to visit my sister at her PLKN camp.

Photo shot with Nikon D40 + 50mm, 1/800 secs @ f/1.8 and ISO 200.

Cropped, sharpen, added vintage and sepia effect.

Tomorrow is Die The Day !!!

The day the first paper of my final examination starts.
The day that marks the beginning of the ending to my foundation year.
And also the starting day of an important week that my scholarship will depends on.

Kan Cheong >0<

However, I still got time to do some product photography. XD
Did a series, but here’s sneak peek on one of them.

*pardon me for the new framing, trying out with different framing that suits my blog*

I got hooked up on Rubik’s cube about one month back, but hangat-hangat tahi ayam, it was collecting dust in a corner after playing with it for 2 weeks. One day I saw the cube again and somehow I have a feeling of doing a shoot for it. Hehe

Constructed my own DIY product shoot set-up.

Photo shot with Nikon D40 + 50mm, 10 secs @ f/16 and ISO 200, with an off-camera flash fired manually 3 times during the long exposure.

Cropped, sharpen, added saturation and glowing effect in Picasa 3.

That’s all for now.
Going to flip through my notes one more time, then jump into my bed for a good night sleep.
After that, Gambatte to myself tomorrow.

My my my. O_o
It’s been a long long time since I’ve updated this place. Been really busy for the pass 2 months, much more busier than my previous ‘busy period’.

I’ve started my part time work with marketing department of college, and had earned quite some pocket money, enough for me to buy a DSLR backpack.
I’m also being selected to be an ambassador for PC.com-Hotlink college project and I’m so unlucky honoured to be elected as the President of the club we had formed.
S.H.A.R.E Club (Stamford-Hotlink Ambassadors of Recreation & Education) is the name.

The club logo that I had designed. Might need to change this totally if my committee doesn’t like it. >o<

The final examination for my foundation year is also around the corner. I’ve got to start my revision already, leaving me having to desert my blog again after this update. LOL
My scholarship for next year will depends very much on my CGPA for this year. Luckily though, my CGPA for the previous 2 semesters is about 3.94, leaving me with some space for small error. But, *fingers crossed* I hope to maintain my grade points.

I’m waiting for the upcoming Pikom PC Fair to get my hands on an external hard disk drive, couple more SD cards and a 2gb DDR2 RAM. Anyone coming with me?

I bet you’ll be wondering why another teaser. Heehee.

My computer is currently running on low HDD storage, so I could only manage to upload photos from the last memory card into my PC because there aren’t many photos in it. If I were to upload all the photos from DCIM show, it will slows down my whole computer.

Do bare with it while I clear out some unwanted stuffs from PC.

Anyway, these photos were taken at the backstage, after the modelling competition.

A photo with Philip Chong, the editor of Digital Camera magazine of Malaysia.
I have no idea why he pouted. =.=|||

I had just submitted my entry for the Sirui Photo Shootout @ DCIM Show 2009, where we have to capture the models on stage posing with Sirui tripods and choose the best picture for the contest.
I love my shot very much, but let’s hope the judges love it too. XD Best 3 entries will win Sirui Professional Camera Tripod. 

I went for the recently concluded DCIM Show 2009. DCIM stands for Digital Camera, Imaging and Media. Kinda disappointed with the event, because it was not a big event as everyone thought it would be.

I went on Friday and Sunday, just for the Velocity Angels Model of the Year 2009 competition. That’s the main focus of the whole event. That was my first ever tryout on model and runway shooting. XD

Since this is just a teaser, let’s crap no more and go straight to some photos.

The stage-cum-runway.
The lighting is very bad, for photographers.
Most of my model shots turned out to be too warm in colour. >o<

Watched Dragonball Revolution on Tuesday night, courtesy of Nuffnang. That was my first time watching a premiere, but it was no different from watching during the normal screening, (difference is I’d got to watch it 2 days before it’s official screening), as I was expecting some pre-screening activity. LOL Not going to write any review about it, as it was just ok ok. The fighting scenes weren’t enough.

I went to visit Firewire & Sae Wei in Wangsamaju on Monday, which was a public holiday. I tagged along in Aaron’s car and we met up with Daniel at his house in Taman Melawati. This visit was suggested by Mac_Bone because he was in KL that day (Bukit Jalil to be specific).

The baby boy is very cute, if you want to know his name, ask FireWire or Sae Wei yourself. XD The whole time when we were there, he was sleeping soundly. I bet he must be thinking so noisy these bunch of shouters are. LOL

I shall visit FireWire & Sae Wei again in few months time. The baby boy would be at the right and perfect age to be “threw” around. HAHA

Group photos for the day (click for bigger view).

Kame Hame Ha !!!!!!

I bet you’ll know this tagline comes from which animation. And the screening of real life Dragonball will be up this coming March !!!
Dragonball Evolution is the name. Do catch it when it comes out in the cinema.

Meanwhile, Nuffnang is giving out free tickets to watch the premiere of Dragonball Evolution. How can I miss this chance?
So here’s my version of Kame Hame Ha shot for the contest.

This Dragonball fighting game scene was not taken from Google or any online search engine. It was snap from my Dragonball PlayStation 1 game (yes, I still have my PS1 and all the games). XD Some photoshop editing to my own photo and that fighting game scene, this is the outcome. Cool heh?
