Its official! Seems like I'll be updating weekly rather than daily :/ A couple of updates... I got my package from the USA! So now I got a pair of 8GB Lexar compact flash cards in my D3, a standard and mini autoloader screw drivers and another wedding photography book! Title is errm... Let me check... Digital Wedding Photography Capturing Beautiful Memories by Glen Johnson!
What else... The office finally has the electronic lock! So now we have to use key cards to access :D Also! Yesterday went to Ubin. The jetty has changed a lot, but other than that, Ubin itself and Changi Village has hardly changed... Shot most of my shots on film but didn't shoot much due to the limitations of the 50mm and 135mm. Left with 8 shots before I can develop the film. I have like 2 in my PEN though... Will upload it tomorrow.
Also! I finally got round to cleaning the Canon PIXMA pro 9000 my bosses gave me! Sadly its still not operational as something somewhere inside is having issue. Gotta wait until we've moved everything which I guess would be tomorrow before I can ask my boss to check for warranty.
Its about a week if I'm not wrong, that I have the Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G lens couple with the D3 which I have for a little over a month. My thoughts... I'm loving it! I do miss the Olympus E-3 and lenses though but I gotta move on. Colors are good on the D3 though still unlike the E-3. Dynamic range of the FX sensor is amazing! I appreciate one thing about Nikon RAW files... They're easy to process! But sadly... 1 12 megapixel image is like 24 megabytes -.-" as compared to the E-3's 10 megabytes.
I miss the in body IS but so far, I've found myself not in need of the IS other than when shooting with the Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8G last week at the Formula Drift championship! Oh well... Speaking of the drifting championship, here are some pictures!

So yea... Still a lot of getting used to. In my previous post, I mentioned that I was selling my Metz 45 CL-1. I've decided to keep it and work with it despite the weight of the D3. For 3 reasons. 1. I've invested quite a bit in the Metz. 2, no one wants to buy it and 3, I just love the performance of the flash! So yea... Decided to grow some muscles with it, in addition to the ones I've gained from moving office.
I went to the PC show with my boss after the drifting championship and man was it crowded! I saw my secondary school classmate though and it was cool catching up with her! Also, one of my close friend Vivian is attached so congrats to her!
That's about it... I've re-tied my computer chair so that the legs don't split, one of the rafia string snapped so I had to re-tie it. That's pretty much all for the week I guess so good night world!
