this is sooooooo cool
oranges. with my 18-55mm
first, aperture 4.5, focus on the first slice. note the bluring of everything behind
4.5 on the last slice. now the ones infront is blur
increase aperture to 8.0. focus on the first piece. the last piece still blurish.
f22.6. now everything clear!! even the table.
moral of story: oranges are good for you.
one of the reasons why i bought this chunk of metal is to take better pics in low light conditions. so what better way then to walk around my lab after the sun has gone down. all photos not photoshopped. not that i am a purist but just no time.
perspective of abandoned study tables
the route to gastronomical delights. erm, yeah, go straight turn right you get the canteen.
pillars. i like the dark tones of the floor. you can still see good contrast between the different colours.
road
overhead bridge
one thing i realized, the aperture size controls the flare of lights. below is f=4.5
this one is f=22, see the lights giving off weird flares?
mum sent me this email. thought it would b enice to share.
Beauty of Math!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
---------------------------------------------------------
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111

98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
987654321 x 9 - 1 = 8888888888
9876543210 x 9 - 2 = 88888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
---------------------------------------------------------
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants
you to GIVE OVER 100% .
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge
will get you close, and Attitude
will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will
put you over the top!
bought a camera bag!!

now my set is almost complete. the final thing is to get a tripod.
my beloved lab mice. just hope the flash didnt make them blind.
haha... three blind mice... at least now we know how they got that way.
well, here's some pics i went around snapping on my new-second-hand camera. feeling uber cool and its nice to hear the 'click-clak' sound of the shutter. just makes you want to take another shot just to hear it again. only problem i have now is getting used to the extra weight of the camera's metal body.
a shoutout to YM, who gave me lots of advice by email and sms leading up to my purchase of the camera. even got me the lens deal. hopefully one day i can match his photography standard. his blog is at http://blessedi.multiply.com/
my very fist shot on this cam
room light. the metering is pretty good. my subject is correctly exposed.
save the rainforest!
my lego's
my breakfast
trying to get some nice 'bokah'. doesnt really work for this lens
with my max zoom, can count the number of leaves on each stalk of the rooftop plant.
heavy rain, strong winds. kind of nice blury effect.
max zoom with my 75-300, amazingly far eh? yes, i know. need a tripod.
min zoom with my 75-300. all from the same point
min zoom with the 18-55
max zoom with the 18-55
one thing i like is that because the pictures are so large in size and resolution, even when you crop it to get to teh subject, its still decently sized. like this lizard.
cropped, to reveal much more detail.
