Vivian’s Photoblog

Just a short note to let you know that i won’t be replying to comments all throughout September coz i won’t be online until then.

All post will be scheduled and not posted real-time.

The reason behind all this? Final exam none other.

If you haven’t already guess that, i can help by giving you extra helpful intelligence classes at RM200 per hour online. PayPal excepted ;P

More shots in the dark.

The title says it all.

Above photos were shot in complete darkness without camera flash. Only a small flashlight was used.

A snapshot of the article that appeared in The Star Education yesterday.

There’s a thread in PhotoMalaysia about this.

And the online version of the article here.

Congratulations to all four of them again!

Was procastinating with homework.

Off my bedroom lights and fooled around with a torchlight and my finger.

Shot this, which inspired me to take a better one. Like this.

No photo-manipulation here. 100 % PS free.

Haha. A very straight-forward title for this post.

Exam’s just around the corner. So won’t be posting here for awhile. If there are postings, they are most probably scheduled.

So before i leave, a few pics. This time, with more words.

This was shot outside my car porch. The poor cat’s right eye was infected. You’ll see it if you look close enough. Which is also why it keeps closing it’s eyes.

The cat’s from the wild, so don’t expect nicely groomed fur or exotic spesies of any sort.

My neighbour’s pet dog.

Kids playing on truck, during the critical haze season.

Preparing dinner. That’s mum.

Mum was in the kitchen, me in the living room (Yes, my house is that small). The socks, my school white socks, in fact, looks just in the right place. So i shot.

Sis had a good laugh when she saw this.

Backlit curtains in my room.

Will have to take leave from PM (not Prime Minister lah) for a while. Tight schedule coming up.

After the Hiroshima Day Peace March, dad and i headed to the train station to get a ride to MidValley. Dad, for some reason, didn’t feel like driving that day.

Some shots from the train station.

Look closer and you’ll see the woman is actually yawning. Hehe.

Note the reflection from the train windows of another train from the opposite lane. That’s my dad by the way.

How come there is a water pipe in the middle of the railway?

This one is crappy. Bleh!

Photos from Hiroshima Day Peace March, my first shooting outing.

Thanks dad for shoving me into the crowd.

Didn’t know a couple of them were looking at my camera when i shot this. Though crappy, this photo also marks the starting of my first outing. Cheers!

No idea what’s with the pasu (vase?) thing.

“We want Peace! We want Peace!” in the background.

The blurred effect was done unintentionally.

Mistake while resizing. Note: Dad said that they looked like they’re carrying a coffin. LOL

Erm… so that wasn’t a mistake. Oh no… what happened?

Getting down the stairs.

This photo is back 500x375 again. How come? Okay. “No More Hiroshima”

They were posing for the photographers. I dare not go to the middle. Had to take this shot from the side in the end.

Look carefully and you’ll see someone was posing the ‘peace’ sign for me.

A happy face in the middle of the picture.

Muahaha! That’s dad.

A reporter from TV3 interviewing some school kid.

The view from my seat.

The middle of 2 banners.

There wasn’t many people who came, honestly.

Experimenting with different focuses and stuff. Should i put in the dead flower?

Crappy pic of a photographer walking up the hill.

Scared of all the bomb talk, kid?

Some kids having free drinks.

I took around 150 shots altogether. These are the few which looks less crappier.

According to the histograms, many of my shots were correctly exposed. But i don’t think so. The contrast is low and i think many were overexposed, probably beacuse of the bright sunlight and a few underexposed.

Actually, there’s a few more from which i shot after dad and i left the place. But i’ll leave that to another post

No idea why some of the pics are big and some are small. I resized them all to 500x375 before uploading to Photobucket.

*None of the photos above are cropped. Although i think many would need it.

As this is a photoblog, i keep words to a minimum. If you would rather read than look, try my other post.

They have window shopping. It’s not shopping for windows.

This, is window shooting. So it’s not shooting windows either.

The following photos are all shot from a single window. So i can’t help them being shot from the same perspective.

Patiently waiting.

Damn the without-tripod-effect.

Same without-tripod flaw with this one.

How come it’s blurred at the bottom? And i didn’t managed to get the person in focus.

The horizon or whatever it’s called looks crooked. Hmm…

*sigh*

Long time no update.

Here’s some i took a few hours ago.

You see, i didn’t get anything for mom on her birthday in July. She was joking that she wants a chocolate cake she saw from a brochure.

She wasn’t all that serious, but dad went to the supermarket and got her one today, telling her i paid for it. Hehe. Dad even called me beforehand to tell me-he bought the cake,and told mum i bought it-the whole plan to make sure i won’t ruin the big conspiracy.

Some boring ones first…

Here’re some close-ups.

Did some editings to get this.

Got lots more photos, but it’s late (as usual). So until next time.
