NANYATE!?

My ears are evil

Tequila — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:20:51 +0000

I knew I had good ears (or sensitive ones if you will) I can hear the doorbell when nobody else does. I’m always the first (or even the only one) to react to ‘strange’ sounds and look up to see what’s going on. People are impressed sometimesbut I find it a hassle: like beeping sounds [...]

PG Strike Freedom – wooha!

Tequila — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:54:10 +0000

Bandai choice of releases since Sinanju have disappointed me, in fact I haven’t even bought it yet lol (even when I own the hyper Bazookas) then the endless milking of the Gundam double O’s and astrays. MG Exia was the last gunpla I bought, after that my interest in Gunpla quickly faded somehow. But oh [...]

Toy Bazaar

Tequila — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:21:01 +0000

It’s been ages since my last post, as some of you know I moved to HK – I got plenty of events to cover. I’ll start with the Toy Bazaar that was held at Times Square in Causeway Bay. Attracted by the flyer/commercial in various toymagazines I was eager to score me some cheap toys, [...]

Gone in 20 seconds

Tequila — Thu, 13 May 2010 23:02:08 +0000

Last weekend the Giro D’Italia prologue was passing my town, because I knew the finish would be overcrowded I decided to camp another spot. I was all geared up and ready for action. Normally you would expect some shots of individuals and a mob of cyclists in pursuit. And I anticipated for that. Many many [...]

Full Moon december 2009

Tequila — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:01:44 +0000

Taken this tuesday with my new Canon 70-200 L F4 IS lens In the winter months it’s hard to catch the full moon due to the weather – but was lucky this month ^^

My first Canon L lens

Tequila — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:03:04 +0000

Talk about new toys, I finally picked up my first L lens – Canon 70-200 F4 IS according to many users this telelens is the sharpest zoomlens Canon has ever made. When I upgraded my camera, I decided to upgrade my lens collection too (because EF-S lenses won’t fit my fullframe camera) – still, spending [...]

After sunset 2

Tequila — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:13:55 +0000

Sunsets are beautiful, but even more stunning are skies just after sunset. You just have to work fast, because there’s not much time. This shot was taken through the balconywindow, but when I was finished gearing up and went outside the fantastic sunlit clouds from 5 mins earlier were looking rather dull. Note to myself, [...]

MP-06 Zapu – Zaku Dog

Tequila — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:29:08 +0000

Brrr…winter is here, outside it’s storming and raining all the time. So I started wearing my scarf and gloves. But what can you make your pets wear without making you look like posh mofo? If I owned a dog I would make him/her wear this!Â haha, Char would be proud!

MG Son Goku – FIGURERISE

Tequila — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:38:10 +0000

Dragonball, who didn’t love that show. I know I did and all my friends were into this immensely popular manga/anime created by Akira Toriyama.Â back in 1984.Â I think i watched the show around 1994? Everyone read those mangas at school and we exchanged videotapes with the latest episodes on it.Â Yes VHS tapes! Dragonball [...]

Zoom Experience 2009

Tequila — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:43:06 +0000

It was my first time at theÂ Zoom Experience 2009 event last month (the only camera event for photog’s in Holland ) Sadly the event was overloaded with the mass due to the exhibition owner giving away thousands of free tickets. Fellow shutterbugs were rather rude and unfriendly: I got hit by telelens/hoods numerous times.Â [...]

Massive Attack HMH 2

Tequila — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:16:37 +0000

The Massive Attack concert at the Heineken Music Hall on wednesday 27-10-2009 was fantastic!Â The classic songs like Inertia Creeps, Mezzanine, Angel, Safe from Harm, Unfinished Sympathy and Karmacoma sounded better than ever. While supporting act/singer Martina Topbird sounded refreshing, just like the many new songs they performed. The intro – Bulletproof Love followed by [...]

Infrared and ebay filter

Tequila — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:17:26 +0000

For some time I wanted to get into IR photography myself – but decent articles how to actually get good IR pictures are scarse. Most of them are all about history of IR light, techniques used in film days. There are 2 choices: either use IR filters or get your (expensive) camera converted for IR [...]

Massive Attack HMH

Tequila — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:34:18 +0000

I nearly forgot that I have tickets for the upcoming Massive Attack concert next tuesday at the Heineken Music Hall ! I found the tickets when I was cleaning up my desk (which I haven’t done in ages) I ordered these a while back, even before I went to Hong Kong back in May, go [...]

Cylon Gundam and nailpolisher?

Tequila — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:30:30 +0000

We all loveÂ Bandai. I don’t have to explain the loving part, but like with relationships there’s always another side. You know the other half does something that makes you wonder: WHYYYYY!? Personally I dislike the special coated gunpla. Not to mention the very special price. This 30th special HG RX-78-2Â GUNDAMÂ ver.Â Premium Golden [...]

Unboxing loot: round 2

Tequila — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:09:59 +0000

If you have read my HK loot arrived post some time ago – you would know I still had 3 more boxes to go. I can barely remember what I’ve bought on my trip to HK back in May XD, I must be getting old… I have decided that I will open 1 box every [...]

PG 00 Raiser pictures galore

Tequila — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:57:38 +0000

Toysdaily has tons ofÂ pics of the upcoming PG 00 Raiser! How I wish Bandai would have released PG Exia instead of this PG 00 Raiser, but it’s nice to see two PG releases within such a short time. I was skeptical about PG Astray red frame, but after seeing it on display in reallife [...]

1/8 Motoko Kusanagi – Good Smile

Tequila — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:54:05 +0000

I totally love Ghost in the Shell, would call myself a cyberpunk fanatic: watched the original movie at least 10 times (3 times at the theature back in the 90′s), bought the videotape (yes that’s VHS), VCD and DVD and the awesome soundtrack by Kenji Kawai. I didn’t fall for Motoko until the GITS:SAC series [...]

SD Saber

Tequila — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:32:34 +0000

Fate/Stay Night was a mediocre anime, but like many I love Saber .Â I picked this vinyl doll/figure up on my trip inÂ Hong Kong earlier this year and is sitting on my table next to RX78-2 head. The headshot looks like a nendo ^^ well posing is sorta impossible, because all she can do [...]

World Press Photo tickets get!

Tequila — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:30:16 +0000

Woohoo, I won 2 tickets to the World Press Photo expo in Rotterdam – you know when you enter those ‘giveaways’ and think: I never win something! But when you actually end up winning (even if it’s just a runnerup prize) it’s still a pleasant surprise. Getting something for free is always nice. Now to [...]

Last Saturday I planned to go to the 30th International Fireworks Festival at Scheveningen beach. (where countries compete every year,Â USA vs China vs Holland) Along with my buddy Maddog and his gf. um I mean wife heh (I still tend to call her that..)Â But sadly another 175.000 people wanted to do the same.Â [...]
