The Time It Rained & Rained!

Let me tell you of a story of no interest to you! A story of a time when it rained 48 hours continuously on one bright December, Monday morning.

I was overjoyed! Relieved! An excuse to not attend classes! But I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of a 48 hour downpour! I miss having supper!

Oh! And I feel bad for the tourist who wanted a hot climate for a change!

Lovely.

I have my share of excitement of the rainy season. I have these lovely HDR (High Dynamic Range) sunset photos to share! Sadly, I have missed those fantastic after shower skies and magnificent lightning storms a few times!

Until then! Enjoy the view!

Original Photos!

As promised, here are the original photos!



Comparison is now possible!

Yahoo! Time Capsule

By the way, did anyone contributed to Yahoo! Time Capsule?
I did. I posted a photo under the Now section.

We'll see what comes out of the studies that they are going to do in 30 years time. Oh , I'm so anxious!

Nostalgia!

I was browsing through some old photos that was photographed by my dad long ago. Yes, he was a photo enthusiast! I remembered all the times he brought me to go photo hunting. It was fun posing in front of the camera.

He owns an SLR, one of the earliest models I can't seem to remember!

About the photo here, I corrected the perspective of the photo. Lens correction. Corrected exposure and colour. Then I burned the shadows to get a darker feel. Erased dust and spots. And voila.

The original was pretty destroyed. Yellow and full of dust spots.

Photo taken on June 84. Weren't born yet! And somehow, I manage to pull this photo out of the album 22 years later. Amazing!



Pretty amazing action shot! Oh, and that's my dad flying in the air.

I corrected exposure and colour. Cloned the leaves out. Burned belts and trousers and hairs. Dodge the ground. And voila.

The original was pretty destroyed. Yellow and full of dust spots. As expected from an old photograph!

Will upload original photos for comparison soon. I can't seem to get it uploaded now!

Lomohome!

All this lomography craze came from this website, Lomography.com and I've made a profile page at www.lomohomes.com/.ET.. Nothing much to see there except for the only album available there which is the first film used with the Action Sampler.

And there is a weblog too. Check out www.lomohomes.com/weblog/.ET. or just click the weblog button on my LomoHome.

Goodbye! Till the next time we meet!

Finally.

The exams are over. Hooray!

As promised, here are the pictures from the Action Sampler camera.

Well, that's about a few samples from the first roll. Still have two more undeveloped rolls. A color roll and a b&w roll. Till then.

It Takes 4.

It takes 4 Oreo McFlurry's in one week for me to realise that I'm addicted. It's so yummy I couldn't resist. It's no wonder I'm putting on a few pounds.

That sucks!

Malaysia Boleh!

To commemorate our national independence I photographed this. Unfortunately, it rained that day and plans are canceled.

I Drank 17 Year Old Tea.

Yes.Tea leaves which are 17 years old. Anyway, I was told that the tea would help with our digestive system. And what do you know! I shat a staggering four times that day!

Moving on! I edited the two pictures which are
currently sitting at the top of the popularity
table in my photostream to be wallpaper worthy!

A New Toy For Me.

I got a new toy. Introducing super binocular. A binocular with a camera function.

This was taken at a distance of around 20 meters.

And to my surprise it could even get far enough to capture the moon and you could probably see the crater.

These two shows the effect of the lense when capturing images in low light. It always gives weird colours in low light.

And images turn lomo when lights are insufficient.

Another example of bino superiority. Shot from a few hundred meters away. The purple glow is probably the result of the car's window tint.

Six in the evening.

This is probably the best image I've taken with the bino. The colour is amazing and picture quality isn't that bad at all!

Yay!

Pennywise Anyone?

Now here is something worth asking. Who remembers the name Pennywise?

"BEEP BEEP Richie! They all float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too.!"

Do you remember Pennywise the Clown? IT will fucking terrorise you! No one escapes from Pennywise. Years later did I only realise that I wasn't the only one who got terrorised. A friend of mine who watched IT when he was a kid got clownphobia. And still do! Released in 1986 as a book and 1990 as a mini series, Pennywise made terrifying nightmares for 6 year old kids.

Before Pennywise, clowns are funny and silly. There's also the possibility that every kid that have watched IT, wouldn't dare to traverse to the toilet alone, wouldn't sleep alone and definitely avoiding basins to wash those oily hands.

And that is why Stephen King is one bad ass novellist! I've read the book a few years ago and I still get the chills!

What Else Is There To Do?

Since I have nothing better to do, I'll link the pictures from my Flickr photostream for your amusement. Before you, is a series of photos taken on July 10th.


And three more when I was in KL the week before.

Be The Judge.

Photographed these two images two days ago.Titles are "The Bridge" and "Smoke By The Water".

Milestone.

For this very special post. I've had exactly 50 images posted over at Flickr. Well, I still have space for another 150. For now, here are the archives.

I'll progress along with the sets I've created.
The Twisted Art set. 5 so far.

I have always been attracted to sunsets. I love the unique colours and I'm definitely a big fan of silhouettes. Check out the last photo above "Face To The Sunset" and you will see a cloud shaped like a face. For now, I sign off.
