So yea.. Officially, the school week has ended, but the week has yet to end. Lets see... Thursday nothing much except I got my hair cut. And I got the Lastolite Micro Apollo softbox for my Metz 45 CL-1. Its design was pretty good except the plastic which gave me an idea for improvement. However, I lack the skills and knowledge to build my own so I can't do anything but live with it. But ah well... At least I got some form of diffusion for my Metz! Here are 2 pictures taken using the Metz, reflector and E-1 I believe and Zuiko Digital 14-54mm lens.
A souvenir from my old friend Mabel whom I've lost contact with. Can't remember where she got it from though

Friday was a very pissing off day in school... My dumb teacher asked if I'm wearing school pants, and I honestly told him no, and I got caught for not being in proper school uniform, even after explaining that the school pants are made for skinny and freakishly tall people. XXXXXL is not wide but is long, what the hell? And apparently... In the third week, we're gonna have phase test for MOA but probably is... My dumb teacher never teach us anything, just tell us to copy paste wholesale. What the hell right?
So after school, I went back with Rizal and went down to SP to have brunch and waited for Fizah. I pass by a class at Infocomm building and it was the first time I saw a few Mac Pros in a room. So cool! I wanna study there XD.
So anyway... After that, I went home, took a shower and my dear "sister" Sandra messaged me while I was showering asking me to help Jean, which I did. They were shooting at Haji Lane so I went down to shoot. Jean needed it for her port folio and Sandra needed some for her graduation
It was fun helping Jean and after that, I had to go back to SP to meet my ah bang, Rahimi to loan him my Olympus FL-50R and gave him a crash course on using it.
So... Today is a Saturday and I spent my day doing a paid assignment. It went well, not too bad. Forgot to take my ear plugs though, important stuff they are... Thanks to my trip to SISPEC in my first year of Poly, I have a pair. And I found myself taking pictures that are pretty good despite the technical limitations in my DSLR. Though as I've said before, its better than the film days, so be appreciative.
I've been looking at Nikon DSLRs recently... And I'm extremely drawn towards the D700 as well as the D3.
According to specs, FX sensor 12 megapixels, ISO expanded 100 - 25600, 3" screen and supports DX format. 9 frames per second, live view, active D-lighting and apparently weather sealed (whether can compete with E-1 and E-3, I have no idea) and 51 AF points. All these are just some stuff, really nifty, 12 meapixels enough for me, I've used FX format before, back in the film days so no skin off my back. D- lighting is useful, weather sealed, for me is always welcoming. 9 frames per second is cool for fun, but not needed even for sports. 51AF points is just too much, I'd like my 11 cross sensors thank you very much. The ISO would be God send if I can retain good details.
I would buy it now if it were a lot cheaper, right now.... At this point in my photography career, I cannot justify getting the D3, probably D700 is ok, but well... I can't justify maintaining 2 systems now anyway. Especially the D3, 3 lenses and SB900 costs 17K for recommended retail price. What more if I get prime lenses like 105 macro and 50mm standard?
Ah well... I shall carry on dreaming. The D3 ain't a walk about camera though, gonna be freaking heavy....
Sad... Gotta wait another month before I can get my new phone. Oh well... Time to start counting down!
That's all I have to say today. Gotta edit pictures tomorrow. Good night everyone!
