HDR

This is my first attempt to use HDR in my photograph. Just using 1 Raw file and the create 3 different exposure and process them in a Photomatix. I really like this HDR, but do not like over bake, just to get more detail between high contrast image.

This is the picture. I hope you like it. BTW, this is my apartment, a very nice and beautiful place, surrounded by the beautiful trees. Click on the image to see the bigger image.

Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AI on Nikon D70

I just realised that my father nikor lens (50mm f/1.2 AI) can focus on my D70. Not the real AF, but if you try to manual focus the lens, you have to see the green indicator in the viewfinder. If the green indicator is stop blinking then your lens is in focus and you can shoot it right away. Stupid me, I have been using this lens on my D70 for more than 2 years and just realised the secret of the green indicator a couple of days ago. I found the secret on flickr forum site. Please throw me some cake on my face...But I am still dreaming to get the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4 D. Maybe someday when I've got enough money. This photograph is shot using that old manual focus lens, check out the sharpness and contrast, nice yaah, this is taken with available light, shuter speed 1/30 and f/2.0, photoshop only for cropping.

Malacca

It's been a long time since I wrote my last blog. I almost forgot that this blog was even exist! It was my niece's blog (anna) that reminds me of my blog. OK, I'll tell you about my journey to Malacca last week end.

Last week end we went to Malacca. Of course with all of my family plus my father in law. He has been in KL for almost 1 week now. He said that he really missed his grandchildren, he always thinking about them in Jakarta. Ohh how sweet is he? Well, anyway, his knee was hurt since he fell in Jakarta a year ago. So, he couldn't walk much!

If you like the detail, Malacca is the second smallest state in Malaysia. It is located in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, on the Straits of Malacca. The state's capital is Malacca Town. From Kuala Lumpur it's about 200km, or 2 hours with a car at speed limit 110 km.

When we get there we had lunch at Pizza Hut. Why Piza Hut??? Why not trying the real Mallacan food? Well, it's because we bring the kids. It's easier for us to feed them at Pizza Hut than to the unknown food, right? If we didn't bring the kids, maybe we would try to get lunch at the local restaurant.

After lunch, we went to the hottest spot of Malacca where you can find a museum, a very old church, antique's store, Budha's temple, and antique hotel. Most of the old church was built in 18 century, and still in good condition, thanks for the malaysian government, they do really care for the historical building in Malacca.

Before I went to Malacca, I kept thinking that the whole Malacca's town is full with antique's building, old church, old bicycle, but actually it wasn't. Only the small region has some antique's building, and that was only the tourist area. Too bad, we did not spent the night there, after all, I like Malacca, if I have a chance and time, I would love to see Malacca again.

Aya's Mom was here!

Well, after 2 months not seeing her grandson, she's back. This was her picture at petaling street, Kuala Lumpur. Not so crowd on Wednesday night. If you try to come in Friday or Saturday nights, you'll get stuck, too many people will be there. I could not find any good merchandise or food in there, nothing extra ordinary, just some cheap fake Rolex or Casio, some pirates DVD, some fake branded clothes, fake branded shoes. All is fake. I could only enjoy the china town atmosphere, that's all.

Bambi was here

Well, I forgot to write about him. He was in Kuala Lumpur from 10 April to 15 April 2006. He spent three days in KL and two days at Singapore. He wasn't alone, he was with her new girl friend, her name was Non or something, I did not really remember her name was. Anyway, we spent our time together to Bangsar, nice place tough, never been there before, and then too a Shook, very nice place too, but we had a bad experience at one of the restaurant there called 'My Thai'. Bambi's last day in KL was at IKEA, aya's bought much new things there, more than Bambi him self...heheheh. Well Bambi, thank's for visited us, hope you will coming again next time.
