For those who has not seen my Facebook status just now … let me first apologize for a big mistake I made today. This goes out especially for those who participated in the ’36 In 12′ challenge today. Somehow I screwed up and after a long day of shooting … I happily tried to rewind my cam just to find that there ain’t no tension in it. Damn! Not sure why but somehow when I opened up the camera back … the film leader was in the canister!!! OMG! I spent the whole day out with my family … making sure I have more stuffs to shoot … and this happened?!!!
I seriously hope this will not stop anyone from sending me the photos they took today. So sorry I can’t be part of this challenge this time but please do send me the photos ok? Send them to me using www.yousendit.com to ndroo@fuzzyeyeballs.com
Do you notice that what I typed (above) is a bit different from what I typed (as my status) in Facebook? The reason is because I refrained from posting this entry until I cool down/recover from the shock … and thus no F word is appearing (so far).
It is a funny thing that about 4pm … when I met up with Jimmy (from ThirtySix) and Noreen for beer … Noreen suddenly told me that she had to give up the ’36 In 12′ challenge. I was shocked but she told me that she just realised that her LC-A+ that she had been shooting since 9am … has no batteries in it. I tried to tell her that it ain’t that bad that she found out halfway instead of getting the shock in the end … but then … in the end … I was the one screaming in shock. Argh!
Anyway … for those who took the effort to join the challenge … I do hope you guys can send me the images by mid of April … and I’ll compile and publish them accordingly. 🙂
I did some digital shots today to test out my K-5 … mostly testing it indoors under low light … to see how well it focuses and the noise control. So far I am very happy that it performs pretty well. As a consolation … apart from the nice beer I had with the friends … here are some of the test shots since this morning …
Here are some low light tests with various ISO settings …
Yeah … I was pushing my luck with ISO 51,200. Hahahaha!
These were taken all with ISO 1600 …
I took the two photos below and suddenly went ‘Okay! You are gonna get your nails trimmed when we get home!’ … yeah … and he did. Hahaha!
Some yummies today …
After my recent ‘brave’ attempt at trying Malala Coke … I took the risk and tried some Devil Expresso at TCC today. It ain’t as scary as it looks though. I sure wish they didn’t put chocolate in it but then … without the chocolate … I might be running to the toilet the next minute. 😀 I still love it lots!
Fitzand wanted to part of the action and so I let him snap some photos of the people around. Hahahahaha!
This next photo could cost me my life … so thank God I know how to apply mosaic effect in Photoshop. 😛
Of course Fitzand became the ‘model’ too …
The K-5 is definitely an ‘investment’ I won’t regret!
Okay … time to go try get some sleep … and forget about the big incident today.
I hope those who participated in the ’36 In 12′ challenge had fun doing what they did … and looking forward to receive the photos soon.
