Timelapse

2011-12-09T22:47:00.001+08:00

"Timelapse, a term in exists in both world, photography and videography created from combination of hundreds or thousands of still images taken over time (hours, days, years) depends on the subject and played in minutes to show the impact of time over the subject."

If u cant understand what i wrote up there then google please, probably im not good in defining things haha..

(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-lapse_photography)
(http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/ultimate-guide-to-time-lapse-photography/)

Creating a timelapse has never been easy, but now with smartphones like iPhone there's many applications for it (im using is Timelapse Pro). With a tripod stand , u can create timelapse anywhere. A DSLR needs an intervalometer or timer remote control to automate the capturing, sequencing and setting the interval between photos.

Semester

2011-10-20T04:31:00.000+08:00

Semester baru (walaupun lagi seminggu nak mid-term), dapat lah merasa seperti duduk kat penthouse. Tingkat 4 blok atas bukit dengan view panorama Mahallah Ali. Malamnya sejuk gedi, paginya cahaya matahari direct masuk bilik , so memang tabley tido. Bagusnya dapat bangun awal pepagi. Yang lecehnya walaupun cafeteria depan mata tapi malas bebonar nak turun naik 4 tingkat....

Terasa nak try buat timelapse + HDR tiap hari sampi grad... ntah berapa space HDD makan tuh ??? =X

New firmware for Sony a33/a55 and NEX3/5

2011-06-27T13:15:00.000+08:00

New firmware upgrade for owners of Sony Alpha a33, a55 , Sony Alpha NEX 3 and Nex 5 released by Sony which includes the new Picture Effects mode in all of them and a new enhanced manual focusing function in NEX series called 'Peeking Mode'. The 'Peeking mode' allows users to select color (red,white,yellow) and are shown in the live view LCD screen the Depth of Field area which are the point of focus (refer to a youtube link below). In addition, the orange Alpha logo appears when turning off the NEX and some other improvements.

The 'Peeking Mode' allows better manual focusing for NEX users with manual lenses and best of all is available during video recording. The Picture Effects mode is available for video recording but the effects aren't changeable during recording. Also the 'Picture Effects' mode limits the user on settings like aperture, shutter, ISO, DRO/HDR and metering. The method to overcome that is with manual lenses with own aperture ring to control the DoF.

For the Sony alpha a33/a55 users, the current D-RANGE button are now customize-able to few other functions such as the metering mode, creative style (profile) , picture effects, sweep panorama and flash exposure. But in my humble opinion (IMHO) , those functions are accessable from the 'Fn' button and the picture effects and sweep panorama are only access-able in their 'Dial-mode' , thus making the button quite useless and is an insignificant customized change. IMHO , the best function is still the DRO/Auto HDR+ mode remain there.

Apart from that the new update is awesome and saves time for editing and photoshopping for some users =)

Behind the scene : Photoshoot Wedding

2011-06-27T11:49:00.002+08:00

Behind the scene of Wedding & Post-Wed photoshoot of Muhsin - Shima & Ina - Li. Sini awok nak story sikit pasal photoshoot itu . First time aku dan Syah tolong handle photoshoot post-wedding so masing-masing blur dan tataw camana nak pose kan pengantin. Pening dengan gaya ape nak buat terkeluar idea nak try wireless flash@strobe.

Then, jalan-jalan dekat bandar dengan pakai baju pengantin seriously akan attract pandangan. Tourist mahupun anak jati Melaka sendiri sanggup brenti kete nak tengok, ada siap mintak bergambar lagi dan wish 'congrats' .... dah macam celebrity @ Raja XD

Tengah-tengah hari terik jalan-jalan keliling Bandar Melaka memang panas tak terkata, dan dan jumpa satu pasang pengantin lagi tengah photoshoot jugak XD

Few professional@sifu comment gamba kitorang kat few forums amek tuh kata lighting terlalu harsh (direct flash), kena pakai diffuser ataw payung, distortion terlalu ketara (sebab guna Samyang 8mm Fisheye & UWA Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6) dan composition ntah pape. Thank you for the comments and criticism, kami budak baru blaja & hoping will improve.

Wedding photoshoot ini nampak saja senang, tengok Official Photographer (OP) selit sana sini amek gambo nampak cam mudah je. Tapi dah try sekali baru taw la susah mana nak handle. Dengan panas terik siang hari nya, orang kerumun pengantin macam mana nak menyelit, macam ne nak mintak pengantin pandang kamera, macam mana kalau ada photografer lain kat situ & mereka 'kacau' scene, nak carik angle yang lawa , nak guna direct flash ke diffuse ke bounce, battery cukup ke tak, lens ape yang perlu , gamba yang wajib ada macam gamba dengan family, gamba ketika akad, gamba ketika upacara batal wudu', scene yang tak wajib cover cam gambo member makan... perghhh banyak la lagi.....patutlah charge amek gambo kawin mahal.....

thank you pada pakcik ini walaupun tataw sape tah yang tolong settle kan queue amik gambo, susun pengantin, pose camana dan banyak lagi...karena dia lah senang sket koje kami hari tuh. Tapi bising & kecoh tak beragak...

Wedding photoshoot seriously not for everyone, especially not for me. Tapi kalau nak tolong-tolong member & family takdehal =)
Anyways, congratulations for Muhsin-Shima & Ina-Li and hope all of you a happy life together =)

from some expired films

2011-06-26T19:29:00.000+08:00

Sharing some gambar dari Canon Prima BF90 + Kodak Elitechrome ISO100 , Smena 8m + Kodak Gold ISO200 dan Canon Prima Super 28N + Kodak Gold ISO200(expired 2004).

Dimulakan dengan Canon Prima BF90 dengan Kodak Elitechrome yang aku test amek gamba post wedding photoshoot of member aku Muhsin & Shima dan Li & Ina. Output color agak lain dari lain, tapi contrasty dan unique. Details tentang photoshoot on next post , location tengok saja dah boleh agak XD

Dari Smena 8m + Kodak Gold 200 (expired).
Light leakage noticeable

Sebelum ni (post instagram v2) , aku ada jumpa Canon Prima 28N yang dah siap ada film dalamnye. Rupanya film tuh dari tahun 2004/2005 , still ada gambar dari trip family pegi ke 'Golden Triangle' , border antara Thailand, Burma (Myanmar) & Laos.

Dari film yang sama amik tahun ni. Karena film dah expired , output jadi grainy dan dark.

note : film Kodak Gold 200 dalam Blackbird Fly dah berbulan tak abis lagi 36exposure

Terasa ......

2011-06-26T18:42:00.002+08:00

Sekian lama tak update sejak balik dari Cameron Highlands, terasa pulak nak menulis sbb borink ayam kat umah dan beribu gambar nak share. Tapi kalau upload gambar kat blogspot @ facebook ni quality kureng sket, upload kat FlickR better tapi limit 100pics saje pastu gambar lelame hilang...

Terasa nak upgrade account FlickR pro tapi merasa diri ini NOOB ,
Terasa nak beli domain sendiri tapi yang free ni pon taktertulis
Terasa nak tukar/edit layout tapi nanti sume setting lari
Terasa nak pegi tour jalan2 seluruh dunia, tapi KL pon sesat lagi
Terasa terasa terasa....

Oleh itu, bersyukur dengan apa yang ada dan gunakannya dengan sebaiknya

p.s : beberapa post coming next , marathon posting~!!!!!
p.s : mintak maap, post tiada kaitan ngan gambo... saje tayang kucing comey haha XD

Tea and Berries

2011-06-02T10:13:00.000+08:00

Cameron Highlands, tanah tumpah strawberi & teh dan segalanya berkat dengan dua tuh. Dari keychain, t-shirt sampai ke makanan sume nak sumbat masuk teh & strawberi. Tanah tinggi yang masih sejuk mungkin sebab masa aku pi tuh hujan memanjang, x payah air conditioner pon. Cuma pencemaran gila2 kentang sebab banyak vehicle guna diesel, lagi2 boleh nampak lori,van,bas,trak dan segala mak nenek sume naik turon ke Tanah Rata. So, senang kata kalau nak udara segar toksah pi pusing2 naik moto/kereta katCameron Highlands la. Datang, dok kat bilik, makan strawberi & minum teh XD

Jugak agak mempermalangkan lagi sebab datang masa akhir cuti sekolah, maka dengan itu segala strawberi sume dah kena petik (@pick your own strawberry farms). Tak taw la strawberi/sayr/buah yang beli masa tuh fresh lagi x.....

Antara hotspot di Cameron Highlands ialah tempat minum teh yang berbackgroundkan ladang teh, mahal kalah hotel. Ala2 english gentlemen minum petang Tea & Scones (lebih kurang biskut) dapat la merasa kesedapan & kesegaran Cameron Hglands sampai ada lori bawak asap lalu T..T

Another attraction point ialah BOH tea plantation juga ada cafe exclusive yang ada view tea plantation. Cuma jalan masuk ke sini agak bahaya, adnansempit & jauh gila. Apart from that, scenery very cantik & boleh masuk pusing2 tengok kilang (demo)....

Selain strawberry & tea, sayur & buahan pun manyak dan murah. 8 bungkus rm10 mana bley dapat kat KL daaa. Strawberry based goods spt jam, cookies, ice cream pon banyak

Finally tempat penginapan di Cameron Highlands kebanyakan yang selesa agak mahal. Tapi mahal tak bertempat, facility kurang. Nampak hotel/resort dah lawa, tapi WIFI limited to lobby saja, then charge RM 29.50 for 24hours access limited to lobby saja. Bodo piang ka ape??? Hotel kat Cameron Hglands ni dah la tak perlukan air cond, dah jimat berpuluh ribu kat situ WIFI pon tak boleh nak kasik ka???

Anyway a nice trip, last sampai Cameron pon tah bila. Very friendly place for street shooting. =)

Semester break + skipping short semester = cuti yang sangat lama. Baru few weeks dah boring. Pusing2 keliling rumah, geledah situ sini jumpa dua kamera lama (atas) Canon Prima Super 28N & Canon Prima BF90. Yang menariknya dalam Canon Prima Super 28N ada film Kodak Gold 200 tah zaman bila punya, so tadi pi carik battery CR123A (RM14.00) nak idopkan dan suprisingly kamera lama lebih 10 tahun ni idop lagi =)

So, koleksi kamera film aku bertambah lagi dua.
i) Blackbird Fly TLR
ii) Smena 8m Lomo
iii) Canon Prima Super 28N
iv) Canon Prima BF90

Sigma 28mm f1.8 sample shots

2011-04-20T22:57:00.000+08:00

Some1 requested some sample pics taken with the Sigma 28mm f/1.8 Asperical II (Non Macro) last week. Might as well i share it here. Its pretty sharp even at f/1.8 , try click on the images (picasa) and find the zoom in function button =)

i sold the lens as it was not the best copy, slight purplish tint, fungus growth and sometimes back-focus. But if there's a good copy, i'd buy it. Thinking of the newer Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG Aspherical Macro , how would it compare to this old gem.

Sigma 50mm f 1.4 EX DG HSM

2011-04-15T03:38:00.001+08:00

The Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM, a.k.a. Sigmalux .The largest of the fab 50s family, with the diameter of filter thread of 77mm. One of the sharpest lenses of the 50mm lineup , even at f1.4.

For your info ~ "LUX" is the name usually associated with lenses with fast aperture lenses of F1.4 and larger , normally used to name the Leica lenses. Sigma owners had additional names for their Sigma like the "Kegma" is the Sigma 85mm f1.4 EX DG HSM and "Bigma" is the Sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3 EX DG HSM.

The Sigma 50mm f1.4 is a huge lens, with nice exterior finish. A normal 50mm lens's filter size would normally range around 49mm to 58mm but the Sigma 50mm f1.4 has massive 77mm filter size. It's a full frame lens (35mm format) and supports nearly all camera it could mount. The HSM allows silence focussing with much faster AF lock.

HSM - Hyper-Sonic Motor
EX - EX Lens
DG - DG for Digital (35mm fullframe format)
D - Distance Information Function

Fortunately for Canon user/fans , they still have the 2 faster lenses the legendary Canon EF 50mm f1.0L USM and Canon EF 50mm f1.2L USM which gives faster fstops. For Nikon users, the Sigmalux fights at the same level to their 50mm with addition of other 3rd party lenses like the Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f1.4. For Sony Alpha user such as me, the Sigmalux is the best 50mm lens.

#3 77mm on Sigmalux VS 49mm on SAL50 f1.8

For the prime lenses (fix focal lenses with huge aperture), the most important for most people is the "out of focus" effect or "Bokeh". After comparing the Sigma 50mm f1.4 to some other 50mm , i'd say the it has the creamiest bokeh of all. The lens renders the out of focus elements in a picture quite beautifully, contrasty and this shots were taken on APS-C based sensor camera , the Sony DSLT A33. On a 35mm/fullframe , the Sigma 50mm f1.4 should produce more bokehlicious shots =)

#4 shot @f1.4

Apart of the Bokeh or shallow Depth of Field (DoF), the big piece of glass with aperture of f1.4 allows user to capture more light, the available light or ambiance.
#5 ambiance

#6

The next important element of a prime lens is it's sharpness. Been playing with few prime lenses and tested few great primes, i would say the Sigma 50mm f1.4 is the best of the 50s for Sony Alpha. I had the Sony 50mm f1.8 and Sony 50mm f1.4 (sold) , both are good lens and few stops down they produce sharp and crisp images. The Sony 50mm f1.4 is tact sharp at f2.0 - f2.2 , with it's small and light body, it's the ideal lens for low light photography. But the Sigma 50mm f1.4, is sharp even at f 1.4. Stopping down anymore is quite useless, as it is made to be shot at f 1.4 =)

Depends on the dslr/dslt body used, AF method and how a person focus a subject. At aperture of f 1.4, the DoF is as thin as paper. Getting more range to the subject gives more DoF at widest aperture , giving the user more chance to get sharper images instead of out of focus.

Some sample below to show the sharpness of Sigma 50mm f1.4 :

#7 black cat @ kuro neko

#8 sample shot at f 1.4

# shot above cropped to magnify

#9 shot at f 1.4

#10 shot at f 1.4

# show above cropped to magnify

#11 street shots

#12 ambience

#13 bokeh

Price wise, the normal 50mm f1.8 should costs around RM300-500. A 50mm f1.4 (Sony, Nikon, Canon) priced around RM11xx to RM 15xx. The Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM is retailed for RM2xxx. For it's price, you could get a 50mm f1.8 and a decent 35mm or 85mm f1.8. But for the extra $, you'd get the creamy bokeh and sharpness at widest aperture.

For me, i'd say the Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM is not for most people. Few stops down to gain sharpness is just as good, and the size of 77mm filter diameter is just overkill. A decent UV filter for protection would cost around RM150-300. With big glasses comes better performance and pricier. Also a 50mm focal for APS-C is rather tight and odd. I'd prefer a wider prime (28mm, 30mm , 35mm) and probably funding for them next. But for a fullframe, the Sigma 50mm f1.4 would be a delight , a 35mm format gives more bokeh =) . But why i bought it? Simply because i got a good deal =) . I haven't made 1 to 1 comparison to other 50mm lenses but from my old collection shows that the Sigma 50mm f1.4 is the best =)

P.S ~ i'd hope Sony/Carl Zeiss would come out a 50mm with bigger aperture =)

Awaiting me 70+ PS3 games and Wii brought back from Japan. What to do beside games??

Might be catching up with photography, got a Samyang 8mm Fish Eye lens to play with now (not mine). Thinking of a wide angle prime, again 28mm f1.8 or 24mm f1.8 or the notorious Zeiss 24mm f2 or the cheaper SAL35 f1.8 ????

instagram, an application that simply converts a normal photo to a rugged, lomo-ish, old style photo. Only for iPhones, iPods and iPads for now. With 15 effects and color tones for selection and a social network by itself =)

i ~~bought~~ dipinjamkanan a 4th generation iPod Touch (iTouch) oleh abang aku memandangkan dia ada iPhone sudah. The camera on this iPod Touch could only take VGA quality image but is suprisingly good and the image color tone is similar to the images taken with the Fujifilm Superia color negatives. Better than my 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss Tessar camera phone (Nokia 5800xm). The battery performance is better than the previous generations. The only problem is my campus limits only 1 gadget per person for campus internet access.

Sulaiman

2011-03-29T02:57:00.000+08:00

A cat named Sulaiman
An odd name for a cat, named by people of Block E of Mahallah Ali. Loves to wonder around the grounds of Mahallah Ali. Usually seen at Block E and Block G meow-ing around and "cari gaduh".

I am cute sometimes,

But most of the time with my "langsi @ kerek" face,

I was cute and playful a year ago,

And is still cute, a lil' fat and abit lazier now,

Loves to sleep around,

And wonders everywhere,

I am Sulaiman

Note
Inspired by Maru of "I am Maru" by mogumogu. The coming semester (skip the short semester) , i will be staying in Block E of Mahallah Ali. So most probably would be seeing Sulaiman if the mahallah wouldn't "dispose" them to another place like before (Goodbye T T).

THank you for reading till the end of this post, hope i could interest you with more interesting pics and stories. Feel free to browse through some of the pictures i've taken at my flickr page and a specific album on Cats @"Cat is Kucing is neko". I'm planning to upgrade to the premium account on flickr to accomodate more than just 200 pictures. Comments and critics are welcome =)

Thank You

from my SAL 50 f1.4

2011-03-15T01:38:00.000+08:00

Simple post to spam some of images taken with Sony 50mm f1.4. Warning, post may be long and lots of pictures .

The SAL 50mm f1.4 is the sharpest lens i ever owned with such awesome bokeh. Usually shot at f1.4 to f2.0 where f2.0 produce tact sharp image. the a33 im using currently have a facial recognition AF that sometimes may cause backfocus for aperture below f2.8. The autofocus is quick but using the screw driven AF from body makes it abit noisy. The best thing about it is the aperture blade stays to be 'circular shape' from f1.4 till few stops down (iinm < f4.5). Also this lens is contrasty , interesting for B&W images.

I recommend this lens SAL50 f1.4 as it is cheap(er than the Sigma 50mm f1.4) , sharp(er than the 50mm f1.8) , and have great bokeh and fast AF. But for those who could 'afford' to spend more, to have tact sharp images at f1.4 , get the Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM which normally costs nearly 50% extra. Or for those Canon users, get the 50mm f1.2 L or if u have rm10k to burn, get the legendary 50mm f1.0 L XD

First roll dengan Smena 8m loaded dengan Kodak Gold 200. Dapat 29/36 exposure ngan separuh dari tuh out of focus. Smena 8m susah gila nak pakai sebab kena agak jarak subjek, ini yang terasa nak angkat 'blik rf'' nak kasik focus proper sikit. Ada tergatal tangan beli satu roll 36 Fuji Neopan 400 , film black & white range professional tapi takut nak load. Sayang sebab satu roll tuh rm18 oi~ Takpe lah, spam seround lagi film murah2 dulu XD, Kodak Gold 200 baru rm4.50 se roll x36 exposure

Zaman digital sekarang ini ramai dah orang tak guna kamera film or even pedulik or menghampehkan mereka yang guna film. Bagi aku la, mereka tuh NoobS, snap and delete punya orang. Kalau guna film, everything is taken into consideration, composition, exposure, DoF, flare, jenis film, limitation for the camera, blah blah blah. Kalau setakat berlagak pakai DSLR Canon 1D IV ataw D3s yang boleh shoot 9/10 fps gambar sesaat tapi composition lari, gambaq gelap, back/front focus dan lain2 baik toksah. So, im proposing for those people to come back to basic ~ FILM =)

~Yes im not that good, samalah, snap beribu gambar tapi satu pon tak lawa. ~

Setelah berbulan guna Blackbird Fly TLR, skang baru abes 4 roll film. 3x Fuji Superia 200 + 1x Kodak Gold 400. Baru saja hantar for processing + scan kat Foto Mega , Wangsa Maju. (http://evanhsw.blogspot.com/) .

One thing aku suka film ini kalau scan direct (bila guna non framing block) dapat film strip kat tepi nuh. Ada display no exposure (gambar) , jenis film dan ISO film. Another is lain film produce different color tone dan contrast. contoh http://saffawati.com/films-part-1/ . Kodak Gold dan Fuji Superia adalah film paling cikai skali

Contohnya gambar bawah ini, ada tulis Kodak , GC 400 , 29.
Kodak ~ manufacturer film
GC 400 ~ jenis film dan ISO (Gold ISO 400)
S 200 ~ jenis film dan ISO (Fuji Superia ISO 200)
29/ 29 A ~ nombor gambar (selalunya satu film boleh amek 36 gambar, so yang ni 29/36)
CA 23 ~ yang ni aku tataw haha
