Max - He's now a memory ...
|
|
I'm trying my best not to drop a tear whilst jotting this, hence, being in the office ... but Max died just now. His body was no where to be found. It was an accident, told Kalai's brother's maid, which live opposite of our house. The chinese lady which live beside our house, which was there at that time ask her maid to throw Max's body far away in the garbage collection bin at the front of the taman. However, I've searched all over the place - no where to be found. I'm very sad .. very very sad .. :~(

Sculptured by Backlight
|
|
Yusdi, a good friend of mine together with me went to Masjid Putrajaya to perform the maghrib prayers. After that, equipped with Kak Ju's Nikon D50, I discover the tower lighting to be such an interesting subject to be manipulated from - the backlight. Here're some of the shots ...
Please visit http://najib.is.an.enemy.org to learn about the EXIFs from these images
I'm gonna do Apis's style (http://wmdhafidz.fotopages.com/) defending my entry ...
| Quote: | xoom-in: Adding effects with photoshop? genuine photographer doesn't use image manipulating softwares, where's your originality?
My wrath: Firstly, I didn't push my image manipulation skills with these images, only level corrections and such. You can ask Suhaimi (if you know him lah) as how I can really push it. About the colors, those are white balances. Genuine? Have you been in the darkroom before? This is where the 'genuine photographers' mix and match chemicals controlling colors, adjust levels, brightness, contrast, even add vignetting to their photos if so they wish. We modern day photographers don't have to do that no more, hence the availability of photo editing softwares mushrooming the entire world. So please, wake up and smell the real world. Don't question my credibility when you don't have any of your signature work attached with your comment.
Oh yes .. being original, please be naked .. don't wear anything .. now that's original |

Char Koeteow
|
|
My good friend, Muhaimin just got engaged last week. Since then I haven't met him. So I decide to give him a call on Friday after work. Went and fetch my foster brother over in Sentul, then straight I head to Taman Melati to have char koeteow.
At first it was kinda awkward that every saw me with the camera, but hell not that I give a damn about it in anyway. So I start snapping the guy who did the frying. He looked excited listening to the shutter sound ... Hehehe .. funny .. and man .. it was like 500 people were queing for char koeteow and nasi lemak over there. Absolutely recommended if you are a char koeteow or a nasi lemak lover.
Well, soon after finish the snapping business, I went back to sit together with everyone else to only realize that they're 85 pieces of prawns in the plate ... Bwahahahaha .. not that I really counted .. but seriously, that frying guy really kills the plate with so many of prawns ... hehehe .. maybe he liked me snapping him .. hehehe .. oh .. by the way .. enjoy

Hafiz & Haliza - Blow that love ...
|
|
Both are my childhood friends. I've been knowing Haliza since I was 7, whilst Hafiz when I was 13. Hafiz made a move recently, proposing to Haliza. And here they are, translated into these wonderful gestures, happily married ...
The couple prefers natural gestures opposing to the normal do-this-see-that kinda posing scheme. So, don't expect too much of special celebrity kinda appearance lah ...

Under A Tree
|
|
I have got to admit, there're good entries, bad entries, hot entries, cold entries, fun entries, boring entries, of which I believe this is a boring one. In anyway ... here it is ...
So, I went to Sungai Petani for KCS's Family Day. There I went snapping some pictures under this huge tree. I edited the pictures to make it more lively, or so I thought it was ..
| Quote: | Comment by Mr Yong:
Nothing extraordinary here i think....only unstable motion of the sadness karma. To get the best pic is by determining the angle, bring the radius up until you get a good shape (when editing) and also emphasize your world of photography!!!
Make it the best before you post your pics!
Thank you Mr. Yong for such ascending comment. I believe I've done my best before uploading 'em. It's only the subject(s) doesn't seem to be interesting enough. I've tried to extract mood and colors using variation of methods. I will try to induce your suggestion next time around. Oh by the way, like I said before, the upload has got to happen, in anyway, to fork out comments and suggestions. Again Mr Yong, I thank you.

Movement ...

Go Pakcik!

When it comes to shooting subjects on-the-move, one would do "panning". Panning is a technique to capture an on-the-move subject by following the subject motion in the viewfinder, whilst putting it to distinguish the focus from others. In a way the technique diverts attention to only the desired subject and inverting others, usually leaving them blurred in a vertical or horizontal or whatever motion the subject being panned at.

It's always an art to capture and freeze a liquified moment. I'm glad that I have the chance to do this whilst Kak Ju's Nikon D50 was still in my hand
To Kak Ju .. thank you very much
