Velvia 100F x-pro

After waiting for 6 months or more, i'm not sure. haha, i finally got my 120 film back. This is a Fuji Velvia 100F, it was a positive film, since i can hardly find the developer here, i made it cross-process in C41. Again, Thanks for Nicholas for the halp. This is my first roll of 120 film, and it was the first film that i ran it on my Mamiya RB67, together with sekor 127mm.

I'm so impress with the colour and tone of the photos that i scan.

Here i share some of the photos, all scan with 9000F with no adjustment, only resize. Although majority of the photos is not perfect exposure, but i still love it.

Lahad Datu Sunrise

Few days ago, me and 2 friends wake up 4.30am then go and prepare for the sunrise shot. Very good experience but very sleepy, nearly chase by a drunk guy in that morning. Anyway, i didn't took a lot photos, here i share 3. CnC is welcome, pictures is not edited. Taken with 24-105 @ 24mm wide open f/4.

GakkenFlex TLR

A month ago, i got myself a DIY LOMO TLR camera, GakkenFlex. It is really fun building it up from the part they provided. Surprisingly, the photos is nice with its special effect, some sort like zooming in.

This is simple and basic camera, good stuff.

Here is some photos taken using GakkenFlex TLR with Superia 400 film. Final image scan with 9000F. No edit was done, only resize.

Pharmnite 2010, Hospital Lahad Datu.

Last saturday, I'm fortunate enough to join my wife for their pharmnite 2010 annual dinner at one of the local hotel in Lahad Datu. As usual, i'll bring along my camera and do some shooting.

I push my camera to ISO3200 due to low light inside the ball room. WB to Auto mode, but the result is very disappointing. Pictures turn out to be yellow cast and very noisy. Although the IS might help a bit, but still some picture turn out blur.

Here is share some of the snapshot i took during that night. C&C is welcomed.

Film is the WINNER.

Yeah, i got my Holga 135BC. It is a super plastic camera, super light, i love it. And the mechanism is great! I even get myself the fish eye kit for this Holga 135, still waiting the film to be develop and find out how's the photos turn out.

the film strap i attach is some of the old photos that i took and just got them develop, trying to scan with DSLR, but the colour seems very blue cast. Still experimenting, just share and need feedback, hehe.




This is a photos before INVERT in photoshop.


After Invert.

Lahad Datu Golf Club @ 05/06/2010

Another holiday for malaysian today, anyhow it was just another rest day for me. Took this opportunity to visit Lahad Datu Golf Club and also test my 40D kao kao. Here i share some photos i took with my 40D. To be honest, i'm not very happy with the photos, as in not sharp as i want. Possible due to my hand shaking as well.

All the photos shoot with Av Mode, ISO100 @ F/7.1

Wonder why i use F/7.1. Will try again next time, to get a sharper picture. Enjoy the photos and stay tuned.


One of my model of the day, thanks Mr. Ho.


Another model of mine, thanks Mr. Lam.

Again....snapshot

LX3 test shot

After dinner, i took out the LX3 for some fun shot. Pictures taken under tungsten light, location is living room. All the pictures taken with Aperture priority as i found the manual in LX3 very difficult to control. The first pix is watermelon taken in macro mode, f/2 @ 1/2 second shutter with IS on, ISO 200, auto white balance, but still not very sharp and the white balance seems like.......

All this pictures is straight from camera, only resize in photoshop has been carried out.


Photo of my dry box with
ISO 80, f/2 @ 1/1.6 second shutter, AWB.


Another photo of my drybox with macro mode, camera mounted to tripod to minimize shake.

感恩之夜 2008 @ Lahad Datu, Sabah.

Last saturday,27/12/2008, there was a gathering/dinner joint organized by Lahad Datu church. I took this opportunity to test out my tokina 11-16. Shoot anything anytime anywhere, this make me think of 10,000 hours rule, thanks to TED.

What i found out from this tokina 11-16 was, the focusing is slow, i guess it takes about half second to focus from macro to infinity. (I might be wrong, do your own search). The view is wide, really wide, you can notice that the kids shot i've done. There is a common problems with tokina lens, CA. so far i find it's still ok.

Let some of the pictures do the talking.



This is my model of that night.


Common problems with UWA


Haha.... It was really fun to poison someone, hohohohoho. Merry belated x'mas

New Toy !!! UWA

This is my new toy, tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

I always think that if your lens not tele enough, go closer. Not wide enough? move few step backward. haha, but sometimes with UWA, you dun need to move backward.

How do i find this lens? very solid build worth the money you paid. Too bad this lens is not a AFS/USM lens, focusing tend to be slower compare to my AFS 18-70mm. As a conclusion, i'm very happy with this lens.

I'll post up some photos taken with this lens very soon, stay tuned.

First pictures shoot with OCF directly flash on the box, W/B set to flash.
