Star Gazer Lily
|
|
I am not well due to flu, the long Lunar Year holidays spent at home resting and I took the opportunity to shoot indoor. My subject was a star gazer lily. This lily has got everything, it is incredibly beautiful, highly fragrant and has strong stem. The shot was done in DIY "mini studio", I had used my daughter's study lamp and table again  The backdrop used was my long black scarf. I had used 350d body as I was too lazy to change the 50mm prime lens which was readily intacked. I just added the close-up filters +4 and +2 hoya and cokin respectively. the outcome??not too bad isn't it... what did you said??tak cantik??..e..eleh..mesti kes dengki ni...

Yesterday morning, a team of Fotopages Malaysia Digital Community, City Centre’s (FMCC) members had gathered at Tasik Perdana (then Lake garden) for a commercial photoshoot mission. The team comprises Aji (FMDC’s President), Tuan Haji Johan Sopie (Johan2), Izwanuddin (prebetbun),Zul (badangperkasa),Hilmi (Yokozuna),Ijan (gxmaxer), Mrs.Ijan (kasuke/balqis) and I. The team started the gloomy morning with breakfast at the Nasi Lemak Tangling at 8 a.m.A serious breakfast table discussion on the "sketch" followed and later the team moved to the location around 10.20 a.m.
For information, the challenge to shoot commercial poster was mooted by Cikgu Syed Naser, who had the opportunity to give some tips during his last visit in KL on 8 February 2007.On that day of his short visit, a number of FMDC's members including me (more than 15 of us), had gathered infront of the KL International Hotel for a short outing with him on product shoot. We were briefed on how the"salon" jargon started, and then given some tips on how to shoot a "product" for commercial poster. He mentioned that everyone in the team has to put some ideas on how to shoot perfectly. The ideas are to be sketched first and later the best sketch/idea to be selected. The FMCC team on 17 February had done exactly what been advised, but had to postponed the mission due to bad weather. We packed around 11.40 a.m and headed "belakang Istana" for lunch. The lunch was sponsored by Aji, the FMDC President.  thanks Ajiiii We had great day indeed, right friends??..

On 14 February 2007, as usual right after work, the moment I arrived home I will dump everything on the dining table. I saw a bouquet of flowers and thought might be for my brother in-law who's still in ICU in Damansara Specialist Hospital. My brother in law, or "uncle Azmy" to my children underwent a coronary attery bypass surgery on the 14 morning. All in the family thank God Almighty, for the successful surgery done by Tan Sri Yahya. It is expected that uncle Azmy will be pushed to the normal ward today.
Back to the bouquet of flowers on the dining table, I asked Adeeba "who sent the flowers and from whom?"..I was confidence it's meant for my brother in-law. Adeeba just kept quiet, she was infront of the PC, must be chatting in her"space".  I repeated the same question and she answered instantly.."you read the card attached". I slowly opened up the card and it says.."To: Tok Ma n Family...."From:Ezz Elya Putri Zulhaimi" A pleasant surprise indeed, it's from Wan and Zul/zzoux our adopted children. The bouquet of flowers came with a box of ferraro roche chocolate I thought for a moment, the chocolate will definitely "dissappeared" in seconds while the flowers will dried up in few days,hence I thought of something for the latter. I decided to macro shot some of the "blooms" in order for us to cherish the gift of love from the couple and daughter.
To Zul, Wan and Ezz....we love all of you too..
To uncle Azmy, we pray for a speedy recovery...
...and not forgetting, on 14 February 2007 too, Bibie Larrasa Yumeng, our adopted daughter (Sabahan) turned 24...Happy Belated Birthday Bibie... we love you too...

I was late again as promised..supposed to gather at Burger King (BK) at 2pm..well the zuhur prayer was at 1.27pm..by the time I reached BK, it was already 2.40 pm!! noone seemed to be there anylonger..they (FMDC's members) must have gone to the Dataran. It was pricking hot!!Fortunately I brought along my raincoat, at least I could cover my head with it  The mood to photograph gone just because of the hot weather..I left Medan Pasar around 4.20pm..and headed home sweet home!!..and it was really frustrating when I reviewed the images that I had captured..all worth to be dumped in the Klang River!!! So what I did to most of the images???I had applied lomo effect ..puas hati aku!!!
To FMDC members..thousand apologies..nasib solat dulu kalau tidak lagi ntah apa2 yg jadi....
after the lomo effect
nope...these two below, spared from being lomoed (nasib korang bedua baikler tu...)

Billiards/American Pool
|
|
Most historians believe billiards arose when the French brought Croquet inside and played it on a table. At that time, the game had wickets and pins on the table and the table was covered with green cloth to simulate grass. American pool is actually pocket billiards. It got its name from the fact that people in the halls it was played in would bet “pools” of money. Well, well guess why out of sudden I am into billiards and such?? Actually, this morning while I was lying on the couch watching the Federal Territory Day's parade live from the channel one, I heard loud thud several times, I peeped and was stunted when I saw my son was playing pool. It's the fisher-price pool table that I bought many years ago when he was at the age of seven, if not mistaken that he used. Just imagine, the 3 in 1 table is still in good condition, except for several balls missing Sometimes, this was some of the reasons why I was willing to pay a little bit extra for my children's toys during those days...it'll last even after over 10 years of purchase. I think I paid USD 250 for it.  Whatever, looks like I have to bear with both children for several days before they got fedup with their newly found "toy" sort of...
**Hadee used to play pool when he was about seven or eight years old..and it was just this morning that he found the same fisher-price pool table that he played over ten years ago Pool is a fun game that uses balance, eye-hand coordination, critical calculation and good sportsmanship. Many hours of practice are necessary to compete in the various championships, however there is little practice necessary to have a good game between siblings/friends.Seen below is Hadee placing his hand on the rail, bridging...

Yesterday was one hectic day for me and some of the FMDC’s members. We attended a Travel/Tourism Photography Workshop co-organized by LIBUR and Tourism Malaysia and followed by an FMDC Infrared Photography outing right after the workshop.
The Workshop co-organized by LIBUR and Tourism Malaysia had attracted many participants where majority were of FMDC members. The resource speaker was Mr. Izahar Atan, Photo Unit Head, Photography Department Kumpulan Karangkraf Sdn.Bhd. Amongst topics covered are Where and when to go?,Things that we need?what should we bring?, Ideas and techniques and finally a Question and Answer session.
The workshop ended around 1.30 pm and after a short break the FMDC members headed to the park opposite the Palace of Justice for the IR photography outing. A breaking ice session was held and later IR photography tips was given by En. Rashid Yusof, President of FMDC. A hand out on IR photography was also distributed for the members. The outing ended around 5 pm and another futsal game amongst FMDC members was held late evening.
My gratitude to En. Izahar of Karangkraf and En. Rashid of FMDC for an informative workshop and outing, respectively.
For record, the above activities were coincided with the Flora Fest 2007 and most participants took the opportunity to capture the moments which was held just outside Putrajaya Corporation Complex, where the workshop was held.
*I managed to capture few shots just before the workshop began.

I have been watching wrestling since I was a kid and used to watch with my late father. Wrestling has changed since then. It was great back then and I think it really rocks now. Though I am not constantly watching the show now, I find it is quite entertaining. Just last night I watched the show with my son. Well, we didn’t really in full concentration watching as intermittently we talked on other matter. Great family entertainment though sometimes the lady wrestlers are more on showing what they “have” rather than the skill or techniques or tactics.Many criticized the show some says it is fake, scripted, and unreal. Yes, it is. So is other shows and movies. Well, say what you like ..now I am more interested to tell you what I had discovered early this morning. I heard some noise from my daughter’s bedroom, I peeped and discovered BeeWee the naughty cat was on Adeeba’s bed wrestled with Adeeba’s little teddy. (Adeeba had gone to school) I quickly grabbed my camera and took few shots as evidences . BeeWee ignored my existence and the clicking of the shutter, he kept on smacking, elbowing,and even biting the little teddy. They both brawled around the “ring”, into corners of the room and BeeWee even attempted to pin teddy behind the door!!!Poor teddy…I told myself..and left to work..without bothering the result of the match!!!

I woke up late for subuh prayer,and was late for the Florathon held at Dataran Merdeka, an event to kickstart the Flora Fest 2007 in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year..and worst still ..the lrt I was boarding had encountered a technical problem...and it was drizzling once I emerged at Jln Tun perak, from the Masjid Jamek lrt's station... ..in the end mood for photography had receded from 80 percent to almost zero!!!
Well, I walked to the location though..the people/spectators were not up to my expectation, but the photographers seemed to be having somekind of a fiesta..from the handphone cameras to the prof dsrl cameras, all were buzy clicking the costumed participants of the Florathon. They(the participants) dressed/geared in “flowers”,”plants”,”bugs” and “mermaids”.. a very colorful event indeed!!!
At first I thought it’ll best to change my wide lens to the 90-300 and just capture the moments from a distance, but somehow I was too lazy and decided to simply shoot whatever I could ..I've noticed that when you go out and shoot just because you feel that you 'need to', you end up having 65 shots of nonsense and tired feet
Beautiful Malaysia
Tourism Minister
A "get well soon" bouquet

Yes..yes..I allow visitors to this page to laugh out loud and say what you like on the above image. I panned flying bird in a park, I wasn't ready actually but due to reflex action and eagerness to pann, the shutter somehow "auto-clicked" I blame FMDC's PC challenge for this 1st half of January 07's worst photography...what??what did you said??Just an excuse??  Well, I am quite good in panning shot you know..heh..heh...allow me to boast this time okay okay, I agree I have to practice more often, and excuse me?what did you just said again?Dust on the lens??Yeah I realized that, don't worry ..small matter ..it will be cleared once I have it "hand" shaked ketawalah sekuat hati takper...saya tak marah...cuma geram jer...
