MSJ Basic DSLR Workshop and Outing

The workshop was held on last sunday, 26 April 2009, with a total of 22 participants and 18 crews, featuring MSJ members, models, G Cut, Zheng Boutique, Street, Lolitas, Canon, Investline and etc..  Thanks to Gerry for inviting me as a crew, in helping out the workshop, leading a group and teach some basic skills, particularly on Nikon DSLR. Also many thanks to the rest of the crew, Valentine, Kysham, AK, and the models, Quennie, Lam Lam, Nicole and Samantha. Also a big thank you for Stephen for allowing us to use Borneo Kellybays for the workshop and outing.

Throughout the whole workshop, participants have the chance to learn basic Aperture, Shutter and ISO. They also have the chance to practice and learn portraiture shots outdoor with 4 different models. I manage to took some shots too, althought it was a little hectic n tiring...  

and i have the chance to use Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro, thanks to Gandut. Here's the shots:

San Fransisco Coffee and sunset

Another San Fransisco Coffee visits.. i just love their coffee, seriously... rich, tasty, but a little pricey a, RM15 for large Extreme Mocha. No service charge and gov tax though, thats the good thing! hahaha...

After that, sunset shooting again... Jesselton Point, seriously one good place for nice sunset shoot, with or without models. Haha.. can practice wireless flash too.. Thanks to Jessica for being my model again., haha... Took some shots, although i did some silly mistake of adjusting the 'more vivid' thing.. alots of pic went bad.. :(

Anyway, enjoy...

And this is one interesting things to play, im new on this!

Tanjung Lipat Sunset

Instead of studying at home, i went out yamcha with Gerry, Valentine and AK. And out of boredom, decided for another sunset shooting since the weather this few days is superb! With the golden rays of sunset and rich colors of after-glow, it was really nice! Here it is, my try with kit lens:

Oh ya, forgotten my drinks... Hot Honey Lemon! i love it! :p

Tenom Station

It's very funny when one simulate the success of a franchise chain with just a change of name...

For example,  Starbucks, Coffeebean and San Fransisco Coffee, and the coffee thingy expanding locally with Penang White Coffee = Old Town = Olde Station = Tenom Station and etc etc.

Me myself a coffee lover and i would love to try out those coffees.. so far, my pick is still Coffeebean and San Fransisco Coffee :P  Anyway, i took some shots yesterday at Tenom Station, located at 1st Floor of City Mall, just beside Core Fitness. A simple, typical coffee shop look but duller environment. Maybe still new.. and no WIFI! how can? haha... i ordered their so call Original Fire Roasted Black Coffee @ RM2.20 only, here's the shot:
