An Endless Journey

Thanks for following.

Since yesterday noon, i've been watching & searching for videos on YouTube. Then I came across some Takarazuka Revue videos by Amami Yuuki.

Its the 1st time I watched Takarazuka videos, I find Me & My Girl quite interesting. Amami Yuuki has got nice voice, she sings & dances very well!

Here's 2 short clips from Me & My Girl :

Yessss, finally my friend broke the good news to me lastweek. The Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 D lens that I've ordered back in December last year has finally arrived!!

Here's a test shot of the lens , taken @ f1.8





This was shot at f2.2 where its slightly sharper than f1.8


I cant wait till I take some decent portraits with this lens, cause I just love to shoot with large aperture.

Right, I've just changed my japanese blog link again! This is the final & permanent address.

I will be leaving to Singapore tonight, to see the exhibition by an acquaintance of mine. Its called " at the tip of letter k " - by self taught photographer Akiko Koga.

All the buses have been fullu booked, so theres no choice but to take the KTM train. Me & my bro have to sit for like 8hours. Just to get to Singapore. Gosh...its even longer than goin to Japan!!

Its 7pm now and i havnt even pack anything yet.

Pulau Ketam is a quiet & relaxing location, its good if you'd like a quiet & small town. There are no cars there, the only transport is their bicycle, but with motor. Young & old people , walking along the streets, they know each other very well. Since its a small town. You dont have to worry about your kids getting lost, or someone stealing your expensive cars, etc.

The seafood was nice. But just for the crab sauce, i guess the shop near my place is much tastier.
The road to the houses is quite narrow. You have to open the road to the people cycling past you.
Houses were all made of woods.

My summary on the trip is a little messy, sorry bout that. One thing I can say clearly, is that I really enjoyed the trip...going with my lecturer & juniors. Thats the best part of the trip, to me.

Finally I have the chance to visit Pulau Ketam which literally translated as "Crab Island". Its a photo trip , and this time I had the chance to shoot on a color slide, for the first time. Im worried bout my exposures...i've made some shots underexposed by 1 stop. We'll just have to send for processing & wait for the results.

I used my Minolta SRT100b with a Kodak Elite Chrome 35mm Color Slide ISO200 film. Actually, I thought of getting the Fuji Chrome Provia but since the shop only had ISO400 film, I've decided to take the Kodak which film speed is 200. Also Kodak's price is much cheaper than Fuji's. I also brought along my NikonD70s...which made my bag very heavy! I really should save my money to get a lowepro Mini Trekker AW , which holds 2 body & few lenses. Its beyond my budget at the moment. That will cost me around RM580.

My post about the trip will be posted tomorrow.
