SAMS Gathering @ Rakutei

Ok, this event was held last week on a Saturday night to celebrate the 1st anniversary at Rakutei, Crown Square.

Place looks nice, tad dark so Speedlight did the job, but alot of overexposed pictures due to close proximity and bouncing the light off the walls and ceiling was a failure due to the place being dark, and also non-reflective.

Pictures time.

Rukia look alike.

It was fun, abid the wasabi eating competition, where it was 3 against 1.

Food was nice, but yakisoba tasted like fried noodles. Weird.

Something will be up soon, so, don't stay tune. XD

Photography Workshop Part 1

On 9th September, 2007, SPAS and sponsor,Canon organised a photography workshop for students, lecturers and teachers to introduce the world of photography to them. And since its free, I join in the crowd.

The venue, MBKS Auditorium, and from past experience, I brought my jacket as its freezing in there. Time was from 8am till 5.30pm but I woke up 1.3 hour past my alarm and it was 7.45am. Showered and my friends sms me asking where was I.

8.10am, while I was on my way, I sms my cousin who was going and she said she left for breakfast as it has yet to start. Uni friends was around waiting.

Reached at the place at 8.20am as traffic was nearly nil, parked and went in and was surprise it was not really filled. Waited around till nearly 9am and the speaker said we have to wait for big potatoes(I change the word) to come.

Fast-forward 30 mins later, the workshop started.

Pictures! GO!

1st Speaker, Mr.Harry Tan. Funny guy. Learn lots from him.
2nd Speaker, Mr.CH Loh who flew in from KL. The pictures tells you the rest. Photoshooting with Datuks and members of SPAS

After learning something from the workshop. Knowledge put to the test.
More jump. 3 person, 1 epic fail.
Fly~ Love the back shadow and shot itself.
One is dancing, one is landing... Love this too. Funny.

Overall, superb experience and learn a little more.

Downside, I can clearly say nearly 60% of the people there do not know whats ISO, ASA, shutter speed, aperture, white balance especially when pros like those speakers says, "200 ASA, 1/250, 1.8"

Clearly this was a SLR workshop as they do not even mention anything about PNS/compact cameras.

Just drooling over the 5D's picture quality and not to mention seeing so many modern external hotshoe flash nowadays.

Memories From Days Ago

Been busy lately with assignments and a small test is coming up, so benkyo(studying) desu!

Okay, a change in my watermark as I feel good and want to change something.

Now, presenting, EVA Unit 01 Test type by Revoltech. This is the Unit being used in the series or was it in the movie. Can't remember. I hope when the upcoming movie comes out, the price will shoot sky high and I can sell this. I got it cheap, way cheaper than XL-Shop offering or other places. I've check the price when I was in KL and its surrounding places and its definitely cheaper .

Now, lets give the pictures the limelight to express itself.

All taken using 350D on a kit 18mm-55mm f3.5-5.6 aperture lens on full manual mode. Also, used a prime 50mm lens forgetting the aperture.

Then after prime lens, I switched back to the kit lens and see what happens..........

ryuten took the prime and look through it.

Up next, was SAMS (Anime and Manga Society) meeting weekly so here goes more pictures.

The attendance was average as usual as some was outside warming up from the cold and others playing handhelds (read:psp, DS) and some on the right-hand corner of the 2nd picture above gaming away and fixing the computer.

SAMS has developed from an anime and manga society to many unofficial sub-division like photography, cosplay, gaming, dancing, singing, IT department, technical support and so forth.

Anniversary dinner coming up soon. Those going, be seeing you there.

......

I've nothing to say as there has been nothing worth talking about happening as there aren't much going around this few days except doing assignment reports and essays....

And the parade, we got ONLY a cert which is directed to our uni.....Boring.
