Tuesday,Apr 25 2006, 06:49:07 PMNew me...
abit too early for sleep. so i played with my camera.
and i got this from tonight.
before you check the image. let me tell you why i have this idea.
okay....
today i went for location shooting. brought 4 set of lighting, 6 stands, 1 tripod, 1 power-imac, 1 camera, 3 lens, 2 softbox, lot of wires, extension wires, etc etc etc. heavy like million of bricks. there was nothing, lucky the place with air-con. shooting from 9-7 for 40 products. i think that consider very very fast if compare to the pineapple day i had.
i bit clumsy today. not get use with the old and broken strobe's stand. i was trying to close the setting and move to another location. pushed a bit too much. *clank* i stuck my finger into the knob gab. after few minutes i saw my index finger start to have internal bleed. anyway i keep working, have to bare with it loh. but damn!!! i keep touching the injured part. now i still can see the black mark there. wonder when will it be healed.
that short story lah and how my idea comes... i hurt myself just a tiny little bit. but i wrap my entire body!!! wahaha. mad! (may be is time for bed, do not know what am i typing now)
it was a bit too early to sleep. but now too late to sleep, after i shot this and converted it and posted it for few places...so late and i feel want to hit on the floor now and die away. perhaps i can have a real wrap!
good night!
wrap wrap wrap...very serious injury!

Saturday,Apr 22 2006, 10:51:37 AMMorib Beach
Meet up my driver Ah Chow at BK@SS2. While I waiting for him, I went to the morning market near by. And I started to fire my film…strolled along the market can caught some scene. Not sure what will it be, but I keep shooting. I wasted one frame because I missed release the shutter without compositing. Then I met KVCT and we started to walk in the market together and KVCT also busying with the scene capture. Short while later Ah Chow arrived and we just pop onto his car and started our journey- to Morib Beach. On the way to the destination, we went to pick up Bex. We followed the sign board and managed to find our venue. But hack! Where is the beach? Next from the place we had parked our car. Damn stupid sign! It points to the place but that just the place for nothing. However we took a break in the stall there. Bex ordered his breakfast (stir fried noodle)and I have my light breakfast (Nasi Lemak).
Soon the foods put on our table, Bex just shouted “ Saya order mee goreng, macam bukit. Tapi ini…” He was asked for extra double large portion but the food in front of him just a tiny small portion. He told us that size not even enough to fill his mouth. He feels nothing after finished the meal. Anyway we moved up to find a path to reach the beach. We found it and we started it! Our photo shooting!!!
Today weather was just nice. Hot bright but the sky is blue and cloud is white!!! Thanks god for no raining. We were walked along the coast. I noticed one thing while I walking on the stoned path. I sense something falling down from higher ground and rolling away. I though that was my crazy mind (too tire) given me illusion. But it keeps happening, and then I though that might be earth quake and make the small stone rolls down. Man! That is no earth quake in Malaysia, impossible for that. So I walk slower and start to check what is happening. Then I see some tiny white thing rolling from top. I checked them out, and I surprise found that they shell. But why they can roll? Look careful and I can see it move. Hold my breath and I started to see parasite. It was parasite with the shell. They are sensitive with noise, movement, and vibration. Slight movement and they start to protect themselves by hiding back into the shell. Because the ground not even so they roll with shell. I manage to catch some close up shots. They are very tricky, as they are very sensitive. I have to wait for them to come out from shell then I can shot. But few times they noticed my tiny movement and they keep hiding back into their protection. We all manage to capture some parasite shots, after that we continued our journey to the beach.
The sand is bright and soft. So fine, and I feel like I am stepping on a feathered carpet. I walked into the sea. Seaside is a bad location for photography as the salt condenses could kill our equipments. But I walked into the sea water. I want to try something so I have to take the risk again. Not sure what I got, because they still in the film’s roll. But one thing I know, I wasted one more frame from the sea. My 2XTC suddenly does not work well with my 24-85 lens, the shutter stuck. So I try to release the 2XTC and lens, and a sudden the shutter click while I removing lens and pointing it to the bright sky. So, I guess I will get bright white frame for that from develop.
So we keep our journey going. And we find some interest scene and of course we don’t miss the chance to do shooting. After we did a group shot at the end of the beach, we turned back to our starting point. One the way back, we saw a colorful kite flying in the blue sky. We ran and chase for it to shot, the kid just cooperate with us very well. He let us take his photo while he enjoying his flying kite. The scene just great! So bad that my lens is not wide enough for fully cover. Apparently I still managed to pull out some shots from my IXUS-700. And I am look forward to see this shot from film. Emmm very desperate for it now…emmmmmm!!!!
After the Morib Beach visit, we went for our lunch. And yes, SEAFOOD! Never miss from PM outing (today not actually a PM outing but I am with friends from PM) so it count! Very delicious! But sorry I did not take any shot. I did not have my DSLR with me and my SLR just not enough to shot close range food photography, so I did not try any. And I was tire with food photo for these few days. Too much for me, been retouching food for this whole week and shooting fruit from yesterday. You can imagine that? Haha @_@
So we sent Bex back to the place we met him afterward. And we have our way back to PJ. I cannot help myself to sleep in Ah Chow’s car, too tired. Lucky I am behaving well while I asleep.
Anyway, that it for today.
Thanks!

Sunday,Apr 16 2006, 03:24:26 PMRunway
I went out to Kuala Lumpur to do some assignment shooting. I went to several train station to find the particular train. I failed and did not managed to find any. Some places district for non-traveller, i guess we should have some arrangement before shooting. KTM train is not easy to find and shot, KTM komuter is everywhere, but where it the train i want? the KTM!!!! where are you!
after the failed case, i went to Bukit Bintang to buy film. and what i see, a runway. man! i was not prepare for any, only can rely on my available lens. anyway, fashion runway is not really my cup of tea. However, i did a few shot to kill my free time overthere. ofcourse i met some friends, then we happy shot together (even i am not fully into it).
after that we went for lunch and some chatting. back to the place, another round of runway... so we watched more and shot more. After that, we went around the plaza to find my film. failed! have no stock in the entire place or some sell at rediculous price. so i ended buy nothing but pissed off myself.
not much done today. that is...

An half day short trip with PM. Photo outing- (kuala selangor-sekincan-sungai besar). I did not go for work, instead of that i joined PM outing. i was told how pretty the places are, and i got cheat (not exactly). may be i have different perspective of judging. anyway, i troed my best to capture some shots. but this time i did not cover as usual ( journal tyle). so i have no documentary kind of photos to show you here. And, i have my new lens tested. not all the time because some others borrowed my lens away. hehe, i did poison a few of them and they seems drolling and desprate to have that lens. some more few of them poison by my tripod, hehe
