Say what you like, I’ve been procrastinating to acquire this particular lens. the 70 - 200 f2.8 L IS..Why IS??Coz I do not have a stable hand...simple reason right? Why now? Why not earlier? Again I do not want to be hypocrite...I must admit there are many other needs or commitments to be fufilled..And I guess being a hobbyist acquiring this particular lens is just a want not a need. Anyway, I already have other lenses viz kits lens, prime 50mm, 90 - 300 and of coz my fav the... 16 - 35 f 2.8...hence this particular lens is just an addition. I think my collection of lenses is quite complete for now... 
Coincidentally, about a week ago, our son's myvi just arrived after a long wait too. We booked the white SE but delivery is too long to wait, our son is eager to get it, so the rest of the family too...we finally settled for the bright red unit!!!Fortunately, our son didn't complaint  Whatever it seems now my son is happy and I am happy too..  We got what we wanted sort of.... 
Herewith are some test shots..I find the lens is too heavy for a woman of my age, after 43 shots I've given up!!  For information all are indoor shots at home be it captured from my son's bedroom, under the staircase or the living area:-D

On Saturday 2 June 2007, a group of us comprises Badangperkasa (zul), Msharq (Syakir), Mudme,Yusri, Bigbrother (Fifian) Ismariza and I went to Klang the Royal Town of Selangor. Initially the purpose of the outing is for street photography but ended up with mixture of street and landscape Whatever, we had great times indeed. We started the photo shoot at Sultan Sulaiman Mosque, and then to Jalan Stesen where the Klang KTM station is, to Jalan Istana, where we coincidently met with a group of classic bikers from Johore and there on we sauntered the "Little India" in Jalan Tengku Kelana.
Most of the pictures taken have been posted here http://www.fotopages.com.my/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4502
I take this opportunity, to thank all who had joined the outing.... I must admit all of you are great company....

Darman and Weet Big Day
|
|
Last weekend on 27 May 2007, hubby and I attended Darman and Weet's wedding at Taluk Gedung Indah, Klang. Both of them are FMDC's (Fotopages Malaysia Digital Community) members. We had no difficulty in locating weet's house as we have a unit of a terrace house in a housing estate closeby (Taman Pendamar Indah). Both of them are like my own children, and I pray that their marriage will last forever. To both Darman and Weet "Selamat Pengantin Baru"..Aunty actually detest photographing wedding, but for your sake...I tried..see for yourselves some of the simply snapped pictures

Photography related talks attended in May 2007
|
|
Talk 1
The premiere of the channel’s documentary series Everest: Beyond The Limit kick started on 22 May 2007.
| Quote: | Climbing Mount Everest is regarded as the ultimate test of human spirit and determination in mountaineering.
First conquered by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal, the world’s highest mountain has been climbed by many since then, but most have failed to reach the top.
Last year’s climbing season on Mount Everest was the second deadliest on record.
However, it also led to some groundbreaking “firsts” that were captured exclusively by Discovery.
In an amazing test of character, discipline and physical ability, New Zealand’s Mark Inglis became the first ever double amputee to reach the summit of Everest.
Inglis’ incredible story, as well as that of his fellow Everest climbers from all walks of life, is told using the latest high-altitude video technology.
Everest: Beyond The Limit airs every Tuesday at 10pm beginning May 22 on Discovery Channel (Astro Channel 50). |
In conjunction with the series’ premiere, Discovery had organised a motivational talk by Inglis, a photography workshop by professional lensman Mark Rogers and a photo exhibition showcasing stunning visual images of the world’s tallest and most alluring peak.
The Everest: Beyond The Limit Exhibition was held at Berjaya Times Square in Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur, from 10am to 8pm daily, from May 14 to 20.Inglis’ talk was also held at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel from 8pm to 10pm on May 16 while Rogers’ workshop, Eye On Everest, held at the same venue from 8pm to 10pm on May 17.
I had the opportunity to attend Eye on Everest by Mark Roger on 17 May 2007.Roger, a professional photographer had shared his experience and stunning pictures as well as tips on high altitude photography.
Talk 2
On 24 May, I had attended another photography talk on Ways of Seeing - Talk was by Khen Lim of Focus Five Malaysia and organised by CLICK magazine. Khen Lim is the founder of Focus Five Malaysia, the 1st Olympus-based camera club in Malaysia. He shared his experiences and lessons learnt at Olympus Optical Co. Ltd..He briefed participants on how to use their eyes | Quote: | | to see and perform translations that allow them to map out photographically using an unspoken technique called “Visual Imagery”. |
He had also revealed some of the hidden answers that participants can actually find in the labyrinthine of technical specifications, so that they can exploit them to extend their visual scope and hence the way they can see things!
Both talks were really informative and definitely will look forward to attend such talks when the opportunity knocks

Zain's art of seeing...LOL
|
|
Well, nothing better to do ..went through few images taken sometimes ago and decided to post them here. I see things differently sometimes..not really art of seeing..more of seeing thing the way which I think I like best... say for example, if people rush to get better angle for a fashion show, with limitation of lens used, I decided to observe the people around rather than the show itself..I pitty myself for not having my dream lens yet..uhuk uhuk.. Whatever, I am contented with whatever lenses I am having now...

Hadee, my son has been playing badminton rigorously for the past few weeks. Every weekend he ensured a court booked for the game be it during late afternoon or midnight. Normally he was the one who organizes the friendly match and start contacting his friends and sometimes even chauffeured them to the location.
The other day, Anaz, his cousin sis had asked him to join her for a friendly match (in prep for her Singapore tournament) Well, I have no objection especially the invitation was from his own cousin sister not friends....and I can be assured hadee will be in good hand True enough, when hadee had dislocated his right shoulder during the match, his cousin sis was the one who had sent him to the hospital, what if the game played /held elsewhere with his friends???This is what we call blessing in diguise...I thank god for this...Well, Anaz felt guilty for the incident, but I told her, it's fated..be it in the past or in the future, all due to Qada and Qadar..Hadee is fortunate, having his cousin sis around when it's fated that on Mother's day, Sunday the 13th, his right shoulder was dislocated...but managed to be repositioned by the orthopedic surgeon..
Anaz, if you're reading aunty's fp...ingat ya..jgn rasa bersalah....aunty patut berterima kasih pada Anaz....
Images were from my handphone camera....

Four in One
|
|
aaaah....hopefully streamyx at home remains stable for at least this particular "four in one" entry.
Visit to Ijok during pre-bi-election - 26 April 2007
Okay ..I'll start with the Ijok visit on 26 April 2007 We (hubby and I) actually just passed the district to observe the pre-bi-election activities. We did not have the chance to really visit the villages in the Ijok District but managed to see "the bi-election" atmosphere. See some of the images that I managed to capture from the moving pick-up
I May 2007
On labour Day, FMDC held it's gathering at Kelab Darul Ehsan in Jalan Kolam Air Lama. Mr. Rasyid Yusof, FMDC President had asked me to help in organising the activities during the event. Well, I managed to form an XTVT Team comprises Fathins,Kamal (Mkrash),Zul (Badangperkasa), Askme (left for Vietnam on 7 May) and of course me There were few others who had helped our team voluntarily during the event proper. On behalf of the XTVT Team, I'd like to extend our gratitude to those who had helped us. I'd say there's still room for improvement on the activities that we had organised..it's okay the post-mortem is in progress Well, nothing much to be reported, it's stale news by now..but for the record, personally I'd consider the event met it's objective...The FMDC members got to know each other better either by their own initiatives or through the games that we had organised we really had fun ...didn't we??
2 May 2007
The next day that was on 2 May 2007, another activity led by Azmansyah was held at the Orchird Garden in Lake Perdana Quite a number of FMDC members, their spouses and children joined the photo-shoot meant for the competition organised by the DBKL (eh DBKL ongputih cakap apa aa??) But I predict not many submitted their photos for the competition..esp me..ha ha...we just want to have fun ma... 
1 - 6 May 2007
last but not least ..I am very proud to record that from 1 May to 6 May 2007, for 6 days 5 nights we played host to our adopted son, his Mrs and lovely daughter... all the way from Trengganu..and nothing much to be recorded in black and white here coz all sweet memories been sealed in my heart and soul....  ha..jgn nak jeles lak eik???
Undilah party cap pisang..anda pasti tidak kelaparan

Nope..we went to Bagan Lalang not because of the ongoing water festival at that time, it was because of our adopted daughter Marlia. Marlia was supposed to spend her semester break with us for a week but we're informed that she had to go back to her hostel earlier than scheduled due to the tests that she has to sit. So since it's of short notice, we did not know where to take Marlia to. I had suggested to my other half to take Marlia to Bagan Lalang for seafood dinner. Both children that my hubby's fathered chose to sit infront of the tv at home instead Well, children of that ages have their ups and downs moods, so we just let it be ...we left for Bagan Lalang around 3 pm on 15 April the last day of the Sepang Water Festival.
On the way we discovered the tyre shop where I had "bitter" photographing experience had moved elsewhere http://zainzubir.fotopages.com/?entry=579348&back=http://zainzubir.fotopages.com/?page=24

East Coast images, stale but good..LOL
|
|
I am supposed to have the images uploaded sometimes ago, but being human there are times when you just don't feel doing what you're supposed to be doing. This is what will happen if you have superfluous images kept in a storage device. You don't even bother to look up for at least one good image to be uploaded...Aaah who cares anyway, right??Okay dokey...here are some simply picked photos all mixed up and not chronologically arranged...care to comment??tak payahlah..as usual all were simply hantam one...rasa2 dah malas nak amik gambo, ..rasa nak start gardening semola...
