So though its officially 12th Dec 2010, first of all, I wanna wish my dear little "sister" a happy 21st birthday! Now that you're 21, please behave like one ok?XD
So yea... Friday I didn't go to school cause as said, there's a useless year end party.
At night I went down to Marina Square with the intention of buying a sound card which in the end I didn't because kinda like, a waste of money and no money at the same time. So I waited till 7:30pm before going down to MBS with one guy, in total there were 5 of us who went for the shoot, kinda sad actually.
One of the guys tried to poison me with the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens but well, apparently I'm immune to it so yea. Just to share some images, all of them are HDR long exposures shot with Olympus E-P1 and the Panasonic Lumix 14mm.

It was a pretty interesting shoot though, and it made me realize just how much I still have yet to learn.
So today, I spent most of my day thinking about cameras because rumors have surfaced again that the E-5 is the last DSLR, so I've already considered getting a Nikon D300s, 10-24 DX lens, something like a 17-85mm lens I guess and lastly would be the 80-400 FX lens, though I may get a 70-300 before that so that I have at least something to use in the tele range. I'll be using my Metz for flash before expanding to SB 900s and or SB 800s and or SB 600s and or SB 700s.
But of course, I hope that the pro spec PENs meant to replace the flagship DSLRs from Olympus will be big enough to hold comfortably. I feel sad if I have to change. I sure hope that I do turn pro one day. Fulltime or otherwise.
I have to seriously say this, I want to thank my mentor, Clifford for always encouraging me and guiding me not just in my life as a photographer but as well as a person. I cannot stress how important this is to me. I have never met and probably might never meet anyone else like him. He's like the father I never had actually. I'd never thought that I'd go this far in photography and am still continuing this journey. Next year I'll be a 9 year old photography, pretty close to a decade, but unlike my mentor who has like 20 over years and Joe McNally who has over 30 years, but I'm only 21, I still have loads of time! :X
So tomorrow I will be helping my friend Jimmo do a maternity shoot for him and his wife. It's gonna be interesting since this would be the first time I actually do this. The studio is as Jurong so I'm about to hit the hay so I can get up early to pack my bag before going. What's going to be in my bag tomorrow?
Olympus E-1, Olympus E-P1, MMF 1 adapter, Zuiko Digital 14-54mm, Zuiko Digital 50-200mm, Zuiko Digital 50mm macro lenses and my M.Zuiko Digital 17mm pancake. As well as my light meter and grey card. I'll try to post images tomorrow. Good night world!
