Nothing much...

Hey guys...

So yea... Morning nothing much.. Actually... Nothing much throughout the whole day. I spent most of my evening trying to jailbreak my iPod touch and now its done. But I lost my book list... So now I have to recollect titles...

What else.... That's about it I guess... More or less... I'm so ticked off with my mobile broadband... It keeps on disconnecting when I'm using it at night in my mother's room... Hopefully it won't be the case in school. I just paid the bill today as well. In about 5 hours 9 minutes from now, exam results will be released...

I won't be getting a rangefinder anymore though I will be keeping myself in the loop in rangefinder news... Probably will get a digital one if I turn pro, and a film one when digital rangefinders become more common. But for now... No cause I hardly shoot film, as much as I miss it so yea... Digital rangefinders are expensive. But I still have my eyes on the Bessa. Then again, if during NS days really have too much moolah to burn... Probably get a Bessa with a 35mm f1.4 XD.

But at the moment, will be calling Canon tomorrow to check if they can change the focusing screen of my Canon EOS 1n from its current one to split focusing screen and will be getting this lens: http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2009/12/just-right------the-voigtlander-ultron-40mm-f2-sl-ii-aspherical-a-long-name-for-a-small-lens-is-to-quote-mike-quoting-sall.html

So yea... That will be a 40mm lens fixed onto my EOS 1n, an interchangeable lens SLR is used an none interchangeable SLR and I sure do hope I turn pro or maybe have too much moolah to spend, then got reason to get myself a Bessa rangefinder. Like my mentor told me, its the photographer that is important, the camera is nothing but a tool. With this in mind, whether I'm using a rangefinder, SLR, compact, medium format, digital or film, I have to always remember that I am the one in charge of how my shots look like. Like a saying I saw "Give a monkey the best camera around, it will still take monkey pictures"

Anyway... I'm gonna sleep soon... Will post more tomorrow. Meeting Krist to borrow his filters tomorrow. I seriously have to invest in a set of filters for myself as well. Currently my list for this year is as follow:

1. DIY Mac
2. Voigtlander lens for Canon
3. Some more photography books (skills, genre and colour management)
4. Filters

That's about it I guess, along with getting my bike license, car probably next year... I sure do miss riding, hope my brother's operation goes smoothly and he has a speedy recover after it so we can go for bike.

That's all for tonight. Stay tune for updates tomorrow. Good night everyone!
