Animal Photography - The Johor Zoo

2012-01-03T20:57:00.004+08:00

The Johor Bahru zoo is one of the oldest in the country. It was built in 1928 by Sultan Sir Ibrahim and was handed over to the state government to manage in the 1960s and open to the public in 1962.

There are 100 species of animals in the 5ha compound. The entrance fees is RM2 for adults and RM1 for chilren. The zoo opens daily from 8am to 6pm and is visited most during public holidays and school holidays.

This shot was taken during the arranged mating session for the lion breeding in Johor Zoo.

Chong Wei desperately needs a psychological boost over nemesis Lin Dan

2012-01-03T18:16:00.003+08:00

LEE Chong Wei will be out to start his year with a title yet again but the form of nemesis Lin Dan will be the biggest stumbling block in the Korea Open which begins with the qualifying rounds in Seoul today.

The tournament offers the highest prize money of US$90,000 (RM285,300) for the men’s singles champion and Lin Dan was the player who walked away with the winner’s cheque last year and is the red hot favourite again.

The draw favours Chong Wei’s path to the final as he only needs to overcome old foes Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia or Peter Gade Christensen of Denmark en route to the final while Lin Dan and his compatriots Chen Long and Chen Jin are in the bottom half.

There is a possibility Christensen, 35, may get knocked out in the first round as he plays China’s Du Pengyu in his opening match and if this happens, Chong Wei would expect a likely semi-final tussle against Taufik.

Chong Wei opens his campaign against P. Kashyap of India tomorrow, could meet South Korean Shon Wan Ho in the second round and is expected to play either Kenichi Tago of Japan or Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam in the last eight.

Lin Dan, who defeated Chong Wei four times in five meetings last year, has an easy first round encounter against Pablo Abian of Spain, followed by a tricky second round meeting against Lee Hyun Il of South Korea before a possible quarter-final showdown against Chen Jin.

His semi-final opponent is likely to be Chen Long, which should go in Lin Dan’s favour.

This is because China shuttlers normally take it easy against their compatriots and this will ensure Lin Dan is fresh when he plays Chong Wei in the possible final on Sunday.

Men’s doubles Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong are down to meet defending champions Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae in the last eight and will be desperate to avoid another defeat.

They have only beaten the Koreans twice in 12 meetings and will be hoping that the rumours of Jae Sung-Yong Dae skipping the tournament are true.

Women’s doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui are in danger of losing out on a place in the Olympics and they must overcome Taiwanese rivals Cheng Wen Hsing-Chien Yu Chin in the first round.

Nikon D90

2011-12-27T20:36:00.002+08:00

The first thing that will amaze photographers about the D90 is its stunning image quality, which takes its inspiration from Nikon's flagship DX-format digital SLR, the D300. The D90's image sensor and 12.3 effective megapixels combine with Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing to deliver outstanding images featuring fine details, smooth tones, rich colors and low noise across a wide ISO sensitivity range.

The D90 is equipped with an innovative movie shooting function that delivers genuinely cinematic results, enhanced by the creatively shallow depth of field made possible by the DX-format sensor. This is further refined by the optical quality and broad selection of NIKKOR lenses — the same lenses relied upon by professional photographers the world over. Thanks to the D90's large image sensor, D-Movie images exhibit less noise than those of a typical camcorder, most notably in low-light situations.

Feature:
-Newly designed Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor with wide ISO sensitivity range with low noise
-EXPEED for smooth tones, rich colors and fine details
-Innovative D-SLR movie function: D-Movie
-Scene Recognition System integrated with Face Detection System

Siri. The intelligent assistant that helps you get
things done. All you have to do is ask.

Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Any great burgers around here?” or “Where’s the closest ATM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean.1 It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.

Printing Album Kahwin Murah

2011-12-26T19:05:00.003+08:00

Hi semua!

Pernah tak korang terfikir bagaimana caranya nak 'save' budget untuk printing album kahwin? Especially untuk fotografer macam korang ni?

Sebagai contoh, seorang customer hendakkan album custom album 8x12 - BUKAN STICKY ALBUM tetapi HOT PRESS ALBUM ataupun lebih dikenali dengan jolokan 'custom album' di kalangan fotografer?

Oh ya! Kalau tak silap saya di KL ada satu tempat yang boleh print murah ni... bukan setakat print hot press tetapi siap dengan 'style' atau trend terkini seperti Glass Cover Album, Window Album, Wrapping Album dan bermacam-macam trend terbaru. Yang bestnya ----- HARGA TETAP SAMA MURAH! Kualiti tip top.

Tapi bagaimana ya kalau fotografer tu tinggal jauh nun di Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, JB, Perlis, even Sabah or Sarawak? Takkan la nak pergi ulang-alik naik flight? Nak naik bas pun belum tentu berbaloi.

Tapi saya ada caranya. Dan saya dah buat pun dengan ramai fotografer 'luar KL'. Bukan apa, as long as dia seorang fotografer, tak kira la freelance atau full time, saya akan tolong. Sebab saya start dulu pun ada orang tolong saya selok-belok dunia fotografi ni.

Caranya mudah saja, apa yang fotografer ni perlu buat adalah menghantar CD yang terdapat gambar untuk di print menjadi album - Dalam bentuk JPG atau PSD. Ukuran, saiz pixel, dpi dsb. akan diberikan melalui emel.

Once album siap (lebih kurang dalam seminggu) - saya akan poskan kepada anda pakai POS LAJU (bukan pos biasa). Mudah dan jiwa tenang.

Oh! Tetapi bagaimana pula sekiranya gambar tu x ikut saiz (tersilap design la tu), salah taip perkataan, dan apa-apa minor mistake bila dapat CD nanti? Jangan risau, asalakan ianya minor mistake dan boleh dibetulkan, saya akan menghubungi fotografer tersebut dan minta kebenaran untuk ubah atau repair sikit pada gambar tersebut.

Bukan itu sahaja, album yang telah siap juga akan diteliti semula dan sekiranya ada mistake, RE-PRINTING akan dilakukan - juga setelah menghubungi fotografer tersebut.

Murah sangat ke saya charge?

Harga tu sebenarnya subjektif dan tertakluk kepada kualiti album tersebut. Dengan kadar yang dibayar, tanpa perlu turun ke KL dan sebagainya, ianya amat berbaloi sekali.

Sebagai contoh, untuk album 8x12 (Hot Press, Glass cover, berkotak, nice texture, leather, berbau harum -bau leather, siap wrapping dan pos) apa lagi yang anda mahukan? Harga cuma bayar saya RM250 bersih.

Kalau teringin nak servis ni, tetapi hanya untuk fotografer sahaja (kad nama atau portfolio link diperlukan) silalah berhubung dengan saya.

Facebook

2011-12-26T11:05:00.005+08:00

Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. As of July 2011, Facebook has more than 800 million active users. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile.

Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The Web site's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, based on ConsumersReports.org on May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts, violating the site's terms of service.

A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly active users. Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?" Quantcast estimates Facebook has 138.9 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in May 2011. According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S. population had a Facebook account. Nevertheless, Facebook's market growth started to stall in some regions, with the site losing 7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011.

Kenali Potensi Diri Melalui Tarikh Lahir

2011-12-26T10:01:00.005+08:00

Tafsiran personaliti dan potensi diri melalui tarikh lahir ini adalah dibuat berdasarkan kepada ilmu Sains Metafizik. Oleh itu tafsiran melalui kaedah ini BUKAN sesuatu yang SAHIH dan TIDAK SESUAI dijadikan sebagai suatu pegangan / kepercayaan hidup apatah lagi digunakan bagi meramal masa depan anda. INGIN DIINGATKAN bahawa membuat tilikan nasib adalah sesuatu yang HARAM dari sudut Syarak. Hanya Allah yang maha mengetahui setiap perkara di langit dan di bumi.

Walaubagaimanapun, kaedah ini adalah satu usaha (ikhtiar) dalam mengenali diri ke arah menjadikan diri kita makhlukNYA yang lebih baik. Jika tafsiran ini secara kebetulan :

- BETUL menyatakan sesuatu yang POSITIF tentang diri anda, janganlah riak, SEBALIKNYA mantapkan/gilaplah lagi.

- BETUL menyatakan sesuatu yang NEGATIF tentang diri anda pula, janganlah berasa kecewa SEBALIKNYA hindari/perbaikilah.

- SALAH menyatakan sesuatu yang POSITIF tentang diri anda, maka adalah BAIK JUGA jika anda berusaha bersungguh-sungguh memilikinya.

- SALAH menyatakan sesuatu yang NEGATIF tentang diri anda, maka adalah BAIK JUGA jika anda berusaha bersungguh-sungguh menghindarinya.

Maksud Al-Quran : Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum melainkan mereka sendiri yang mengubahnya.

Maka manusia yang cuba mengenali dirinya adalah lebih baik daripada sebaliknya. Dengan mengenali potensi diri, anda mempunyai peluang lebih tinggi menjadi lebih baik dan seterusnya menjadi HEBAT dan bersedia sepenuhnya untuk menggapai dan mengecapi KEJAYAAN.

InsyaAllah.

Newly developed, super high-speed AF CMOS sensor
The newly developed CMOS sensor, with an effective pixel count of 10.1 megapixels, is the world's first image sensor created that implements phase-detection AF.

Motion Snapshot
Starting with a clean slate, we reexamined the potential of imaging and discovered globally unique way of preserving your memories with something different from just a photograph or a movie.

Fastest AF x Most Focus Points in the World
First, we present the world's fastest autofocus.The phase-detection AF, embedded in the newly developed sensor, will track and capture fast-moving subjects in sharp, crystal-clear focus.

Firmware
Nikon has released a new firmware update for the Nikon 1 J1 and Nikon 1 V1 that will certainly be a welcomed addition for fans of the new mirrorless system.

Version 1.10 of the firmware for the J1 and V1 makes the cameras compatible with F-mount lenses. You'll still need the adapter to make the lenses connect on the mechanical side, and we're looking at an early 2012 release for that, but updating your camera now means that you'll be ready once the adapter gets released.

In addition to the F-mount functionality, pixel mapping has been added to the setup menu.

How To Manage Financial During Recession

2011-11-07T22:55:00.004+08:00

Know Your Financial Position
- Prepare a statement of position
- Prepare Cash Flow
- Compile the past financial statements/Profit and loss/Tax Returns

Prepare A Strategic Audit
Doing a SWOT analysis can identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to which the business is subject. Once you have identified what these are, you can start to use your identified strengths and opportunities to progress your enterprise. By also recognising your weaknesses and threats you can work around them or attempt minimise their effect on the business.

Revise Your Long and Short Term Goal

Decide If The Deficit Is A Continuing Problem

Look At Increasing Income

Look At Ways To Reduce Cost

Look At Restructuring Loans
As identified in the previous step there may be a more appropriate structure for your debt that may suit the current situation. Look at going interest-only in the short term if you believe the problem is only short term. The debt will not be reducing but at least the debt servicing will be brought back to a bare minimum.

Photography In A Pinch

2011-11-07T22:32:00.002+08:00

Good photographers try to be prepared for almost any contingency. Unfortunately, if you tried to carry everything you'd need to meet every contingency in the field, you'd have to pack like a Bedouin trader.

Many times that simply isn't possible and other times it's not desirable. So the seasoned photographer learns to be resourceful. Here are a few miscellaneous tips that can save your back, particularly on short trips near home.

A Monopod

In all but the most extreme lighting situations a monopod can substitute nicely for a tripod and is a lot easier to carry. With practice you'll be able to hold a monopod nearly as stable as a tripod, for a short time anyway.

Another trick for stabilizing a monopod is to wrap the camera strap around your upper arm and push on the monopod while exerting gentle backward pressure on the strap. Similarly, you can place a large clamp on your monopod and use it as a shoulder brace, almost like a gun mount. It might look a little funny but it works surprisingly well.

Working In Sand

For those times you have to drag a tripod to the beach or sandy area, grab three tennis balls on the way out the door. Cut a hole big enough for your tripod leg and fit a tennis ball over each end.

The tennis balls won't sink in the sand, will keep most of the grit out of the end of your tripod leg and you can throw them away when you're finished.

Another great thing about working at the beach is you don't need to carry sand bags, just bring bags. There's usually plenty of sand already on the beach. Those are priceless for weighting reflectors, which tend to act like a sail in ocean breezes.

Bring A Cooler

But leave the ice packs at home. A cooler has several advantages over an equipment case in many situations. They're solid, many have a handle and wheels, and you can sit or stand on them in a pinch. If you lose or break it, you're only out about $40.

You can still carry drinks with the camera gear, but carefully. Get those drink cozies you put in the freezer. Those will keep your drinks cold without bringing down the temp too much in the cooler. The last thing you want to do is bring cold optics or a camera out into warm, muggy atmosphere. Expect instant condensation if you do.

Carry a Bag of Rubber Bands

They're just so handy for so many things and so easy to carry. You can use them for emergency repairs and to keep papers from flying away.

A fat rubber band is handy for dislodging a stuck filter. Wrap the rubber band around the edge of the filter and that should give you enough grip to get it loose.

And, if you're stuck waiting outside a courthouse waiting for a photo op, they're also endlessly entertaining for taunting your fellow photographers.

Incident Light Meter

Many photographers still carry a light meter, even in the days of high end digital SLRs. If you're packing light you can use a styrofoam cup over the end of your lens and use your camera's light meter, hold it in place with one of your rubber bands.

Note that cups do come in different thicknesses, so you may want to calibrate yours using the Sunny 16 rule before you leave.

Record the exposure at the subject, then walk back to shoot the picture.
