Kulai & Gunung Pulai with 55-200mm nikkor VR

5th July 2009....

Flora & Fauna (& Food) at Kulai, & Gunung Pulai in Kulai.

All close-up and macro photos shot using 55-200mm Nikkor f 4-5.6 AF-S VR @ 200mm.

CH just can't belive this cheap second hand tele zoom lens can get a really good sharpness. Worth the money! Just a little hard to shoot @ 200mm, f5.6. Big thanks to VR for low shutter speed shots.

All photos are uneditted. Only crop and add the water-mark.

Advice for first-buyer of instant/film camera

26th June 2009...

Yeah yeah, today I finally found the instant camera at Plaza Damas and straight away bought it once I saw it.

After some shooting, I have found out some advice for first-buyer of instant/film camera.

**Never lend your camera to whoever who is used to digital camera(which is almost everyone nowadays), otherwise, you will end-up like this:

1) Waste 1(or more) frame(of film or paper @ RM3) one typical example as below:


Unintentional Shot by Ng Sueh Mei

2) They will simply open whatever cover which can be opened, including the cover to insert film/paper.

My typical example: My fuji mini7s paper insert cover opened by sampat Sien immediately after I insert a new 10 pcs paper pack.... still not sure whether my paper pack still can produce image or not T.T

Anyway.... wish everyone happy shooting with film/paper... including ah Yang who has just bought a Fuji instax 200 after addicted by the movie "Negative Effect" by Dick Chua

My lens collection

27 June 2009...

My lens collection shots using light-box @ only RM 13.90.
Next post will reveal the cheap "light-box".

My very first digital work

Just to share one of my very first digital photography work. The photo taken by Fuji 0.6 Megapixel digicam bought in year 1998. At that time, 0.6 MPS is like very geng already. The file name is DSCF0004. Unbelievable, this is my fourth photo since I've started digital photography.

Eddy Farewell Party + Superwide Angle Test Out

Finally get myself a superwide angle converter lens (0.45x) But it seems the peripheral of the lens mount can be seen on the photo. So CH would rather used it as circular fisheye instead of wide angle.

5th September 2008..

Test out at Eddy Farewell Party. The rainy day made CH can't take the photo out of the shade, so it is the best time for CH to show-off his circular fish eye.

Here are the results:
CH is at right the end of the round table.

Got see any leng lui smiling at you? The standing is tonight's host - Eddy, who is going to Abu Dhabi very soon. Due to his desperateness to go Abu Dhabi, we have named him a nickname - Edibu, and his girlfren - Furdhaby. Edibu busy serving food to his fellows frens This is what circular fisheye really capable of. Oh ya, the dinner is in buffet style, kinda suitable for bottomless eater like us, especially Yang Yang. So better discharge some of the extra energy charged into our stomach by playing some badminton game the next day. And CH really got energized after over-charged at yesterday's buffet dinner. ******************************* Characteristic of a good good frenz no. 12 - "Never soft-hearted when fren belanja makan."

鱼

从小就开始喜欢养鱼。

还记得第一条养的鱼是读小学跟爸爸一起养的。那时候养了一条黑身红尾Kaloi。养到好大条。
如果在家里看见壁虎，蟑螂，蟋蟀，青蛙，蚊虫，等等...一定会送到Kaloi口里。
结果那Kaloi越吃越壮，越吃越凶猛。最后因为太大条了，不得已把它送给有大鱼池的朋友。

之后一阵子都没养。
中学初三时又开始养回鱼。这次就试一试养小鱼。养了之后还是发现小鱼没那么容易养。振鸿对因为自己的无知及疏忽而弄丢了许多弱小的鱼生命而深感遗憾及愧疚。
当全部小鱼都走光时，振鸿决定养回大鱼。这次振鸿选养黑Oscar。
Oscar很好玩。很肥美。身上的花纹会跟着身体状况而变化。那时候养了4只。还记得有一只只吃素，结果它的花纹最明亮及漂亮。最可爱的是Oscar回跟主人讨吃。时常会开大嘴巴说肚子饿了。Oscar睡觉时还会把身体躺得平平的呢。

最后还是因为体积问题而送给了朋友。离开朋友家时眼泪差点飙了出来。

之后中四中五时迷上了去海岛浮潜。那时爱上了海水鱼。海水因为充满矿物质的关系，鱼的花纹及色彩鲜艳许多。二话不说，马上买了海盐，设置好海水缸后第二天就往海岛出发捕鱼去（这是犯法的行为，大家切勿模仿）。那次出岛捕了十一只的Nemo，有大有小。最大的有两寸长，最小的不到1cm。连同也猎获了一只“藏在沙里的鱼”（开始时振鸿不知道，还以为它“水里蒸发”了呢），海参，活珊瑚，及两只贝类（也是活的）。

海水鱼一共养了一年多，连我自己也不太敢相信。最后因为中毒而突然间死光了:(。

现在隔了6年多，养鱼的欲望又慢慢萌芽。这次决定不再养小鱼，旺浪费小小的生命。
买了一只白Kaloi，原因是在“明天”（明天是一家坐落在TamanMegah的大型小贩中心）吃饭看多了，觉得它们好可爱。结果第二就买来养。

白Kaloi,英文名叫 "Golden Giant Gourami", 科学名称Osphronemus goramy。
4年内可增长至500mm。当它长大时头上的“包子”也会跟着现型。


现在年龄约三个月。3寸半长。


想想小熊说得对，喜欢养鱼的人，这一辈子都会一直养鱼。

KLCC Twin Towers

25th July 2008...

Always been driving or walking around KLCC, but don't really have a chance to appreciate the magnificient KLCC Twin Towers.

Today after the class at BC, found that the weather is quite clear, so without any delay, took out the G9, and start some shooting.

Reflect of KLCC from Mirror. Taken at Selangor Dredging.
