Merry Christmas eveyone!

Hey readers!

Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! The year is almost ending, and I earnestly hope next year will be as good or better than 2011!

So recently, my colleague from my work got a white Olympus E-PM1. In case you don't know how it looks like because you honestly don't know, or you're the type that says "they keep coming out so fast, I've lost track", here's a picture.



And well... She says we can share lenses! Which is fine with me, since she lives quite close to me hahaha. Anyway, we exchanged lens, my 17mm for her 14-42mm IIR. I have to say, I love the new R lens, super fast even on my older E-P1 and quiet with pretty good quality! I don't mind getting one but I'm still likely to wait for my fast zoom rather than really get the 14-42 unless I have to, but at least I have something to look forward to! Besides... I'm still building up my Nikon system so I can wait. Here's a picture of the new zoom lens with my E-P1!




Honestly, it ain't half bad in looks either! Also... I just found a 17mm lens for her so she need not change lens with me anymore, though I have a feeling that she will change with other lenses should I every get others which I most probably will. Though our shooting pattern differ by a lot!

Recently, my packages from USA came! I got my Manfrotto Justin Clamp and books!

Huge box


175F-1, Spring clamp with hot shoe


Open up, I personally think the box is a tad big for the product


First trial with the clamp, FL-36R with radio trigger on manual, hanging upside down!


My subject for the spring clamp is also something else I got second hand!

Thinktank Speed Changer and R U Thirsty!


Out of their bags


My books in the picture below, especially the "Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It" by Scott Kelby, the cover is a little torn, but no biggie! It's just aesthetics.



That's pretty much all for now. Will link my review of the Leica V-Lux 3 in my next post and probably have some other things to share!

Good night world!

Been a while...

Hey guys!

So yea... Its been a while and I apologize! I've been busy at work doing this or that, not having enough time for myself in fact! I still have to finish a video soon. Its paid and I've accepted the money so I've gotta finish it by hook or by crook.

Recently I've played the new Batman game! Batman Arkham City is awesome! Its so much better than Arkham Asylum which was pretty good on its own. But Arkham city was somewhat harder the first time I played it. But after having played it on normal, the easy mode is really easy!

I recently got a Western Digital 1TB 64mb cache 3.5" hard drive for $180, it's quite expensive by today's standard though from what I've purchased, its pretty acceptable.



I've cloned my hard drive and replaced it in my computer. So what I have in my computer now is:
1. Western Digital 1TB - Main hard drive
2. Samsung 500GB - 1st Storage hard drive storing my computer programs, music and a lot of videos, its almost full
3. Hitachi 500G - It took over the Maxtor 250GB and now is about half full, containing mainly videos
4. Hitachi 250GB - Its my games hard disk where all my fame files are currently on.
5. Seagate Constellation 1TB - Its my RAW files hard drive where all my photos are store, its gonna take a while to fill up at the rate I'm using =S

So yea! A brief summary! I recently attended talks at Fotofest Asia!




So yea,there were 4 speakers and well, I quite like one of the speakers named Hanson Fong. Awesome teacher, awesome photographer, funny too! What else... Oh! My brother started his own business! Good for him. My to do list for 2011 is almost done, but I've added more to 2012's list. Gonna be a busy year with many goals to accomplished. I'm quite excited to update my portfolio too!

Recently, quite a number of stuff came, I don't really remember all and I didn't have time to shoot them. I do remember getting a pen for my brother, it uses a real bullet case, available from Vat19. And also a bracelet for another good friend of mine! Some stuff from Photojojo for the interns in my office. I also got my PTC 15m USB repeater! Now my cable for tether shooting is super long! And it works! Approx 25m I guess. I also got my velcro cable ties which is a huge life saver!

I also found an old friend of mine! But seems that she's not really active on Facebook, and since she's currently living in America, due to time difference, even if she has MSN, it'd be quite difficult to talk to her... Sadly...

Anyway! I'm currently doing a camera review which I'll post up soon. And my Nikon F5 review! Still not done shooting with it! I'll get it up as soon as I've finished that last few frames! That's all for now!

Good day everyone!
