Wonderboy

Long time no update, and here I am announcing my new toy…lol. It’s something I have always yearned for after looking (and getting gossebumps) at countless numbers of pictures taken with an Ultra Wide Angle lens. Finally, the wait for me is over.. I just bought one recently and its a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 DX lens. The reasons why i chose this lens over the Sigma 10-20mm is the fixed f2.8 aperture where the sigma is quite slow at f4-5.6, and that I have read reviews that show the corner sharpness of the tokina is better than the siggy. The bad news for me though is that this lens doesnt have a built in motor, so I would have to manual focus this baby on my D40… Didn’t really mind though since shooting landscapes just require focusing at infinity.

So anyway, here are some shots of the lens taken with my Nikkor 35mm f1.8 lens (another new toy, but less significant, keke):

While the ground floor in the new Naza Italia showroom was all Ferraris, the first floor is conquered by the Maseratis.

Enjoy the pics!

Visited the new Naza Italia showroom last weekend to have a look at the exclusive Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider with only 499 units in the world. (Thanks to the info from Paultan). Apparently though, the 16M Scuderia Spider on display there wasn’t an actual 16M Scuderia Spider, but just sort of a demo version.. Looks identical to what the read deal looks like tho. Come to think of it, there’s no way they are gonna put an extremely rare car on display in that showroom without any sort of barriers at all, you can molest the car all u want…

Anyways, enjoy some of the pics taken that day: More »

Went to the A1 GP held in Sepang last year at 23rd November together with EnigmaZ and Sam. Thanks to Sam for the grandstand tickets. If no free tickets definitely won’t go… haha.

Here are some photos I’d like to share…

Went to the recent said event at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil… Just got a few photos to share because the event was quite disappointing for me because the entrance fee (RM28) was not worth it at all for the content of the event

Anyway, here are some of the photos i took that day: More »

A few weekends ago, Tat Wei invited me along with other friends to go to Bukit Cahaya. Although I went there shooting once (which I find quite disappointing because there isn’t really anything there to shoot), I decided to go along that day because I was bored out of my mind. This time that I went was quite fun (and tiring) because instead of having to shoot the lousy landscape, I get to shoot people instead hehe. Since everyone was on a bicycle, I got some action shots as well

Went to Singapore during the Raya holidays recently with Yellowbanana, EnigmaZ and Jeff. Singapore is a really nice place to stay in, the food is good, the places are clean and beautiful, the public transportation is convenient and the people are pretty xD coz their skin all very smooth. For the first day we went to the Singapore Motorshow which was kinda dissapointing ~_~. Anyway here are some pics of the motorshow… More »

Attended Myriel & Roberta’s wedding dinner on the 20th, at the Hai Thiam Lo restaurant in Klang.. I think this is the first time I’ve fully utilized my SB-800 since i bought it about 4 months ago. I noticed that I got better skin tones when shooting with the flash + the orange gel, than without it. It was definitely worth the odd RM1k for it… Oh yea, it not only provides better lighting, it builds up my right arm muscles as well… NICE!

Me together with 14 of my colleagues rented 3 cars and set out on a journey to York. Took us 2 hours to get there from Liverpool, like going to Malacca from Klang. Before continuing, I’d like to share some of my experiences driving on UK road. Well, the first thing i noticed is that there are no traffic jams at all (we went on a saturday). Secondly, throughout the whole journey, there wasn’t a single toll on the highway (they call it the motorway here). So basically, we just paid for the car rent and the petrol, which is not cheap, think £1.16/Litre More »
